Overnight in the Lost Community - 32 Water Crossings

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

With this adventure going live it is time to film another one; that is going to happen on Monday and it is going to be a different type of trip; Pocket Super Shelter Survival Adventure. Ohhhhh yeaaaaah! Have a great weekend everyone, enjoy the adventure and know that all of your are appreciated! - Luke

[@Tom-tt1vg]

Luke have you all ever did a groups hike?

[@smosesa]

I hunt off Long Bottom Rd all of the time, but live almost 2 hours from there. It makes it harder and harder to make It up there since there are so many brain dead people that hunt "upair".. I swear man.. Great video Luke. May the 4th be wif you 🤣

[@gasdaddy4284]

Will you do a review on the Eurohike bowland 1man tent? I'm on the fence of buying it but I can't find a review anywhere! So if you could then you will save me soooo many £££

Swamp Rat--ROTF!!!

[@Niels357]

What is tick spray made from and how does it work?

[@disillusioneddisappointed]

This is fast becoming my all time FAVOURITE channel!🎉 😂Luke is just too funny and so sweet to Susie!! They are so adorable and blessed ❤

[@myrajohnson2322]

Very very nice video, your gentleness with your wife made it perfect 1-100 i give you both a 110

[@phillipjansen1222]

Now at 83 I do my back packing, exploring, prospecting,etc. from my couch. Thanks for taking me along.

[@gloriarousseau7579]

Dear Luke ..Susie is all those things you love ..plus a sense of adventure …plus awesome strength and endurance. You are a lucky man!

[@ChanaDuncan-q6i]

You are such a gentleman Luke.

[@NateBuker]

I love Susie's participation in this! Lucky dog to have sucha a good gal for this stuff! She's totally into it! Great husband. Rock some real coffee bud!

[@katosthoff]

It's so refreshing how you talk about your wife. Y'all seem perfect for each other. #relationshipgoals! I really enjoyed this video. Great hike, great dynamic altogether!

[@mawmawvee]

Occasionally, there are husbands and wives who actually not only love each other, but like each other as well and we're in the presence of two of them. How refreshing! :D

[@dougyoung7159]

You guys are my favorite people on UTUBE....love you both. Thanks for all the great entertainment.

[@thomashorner7474]

Linnie Caudill was away in Virginia working, according to a family history account. But Caudill’s young wife of six months and his mother and brother were at home and perished.Alice and Linnie Famon Caudill, who went by Famon, had been married only six months when she died.. Only the bodies of his wife and brother were found Alice and her mother, Wadie Adams, and one of his younger brothers, Cornelius Caudill, 9, had perished in the flood. All three were in Famon and Alice Caudill’s cabin when it was swept away by a landslide. It was about a mile downstream from the cabin of his parents, Martin and Janie Blevins Caudill, which still stands at the head of Basin Cove over 1,000 feet below Wildcat Rock near the Bluffs Lodge on the Parkway..Following a second big flood in 1940, the Army Corps of Engineers built a dam and reservoir in 1962 west of Wilkesboro to catch and hold floodwaters and minimize flooding in the upper Yadkin Valley

[@jhosk]

Love seeing both of you doing the video, y'all make a great team.

[@prwoolrich]

Susie picked a very good route full of interesting features and history it makes you wonder how people survived, they really were worthy of the name pioneer. A nice campsite selection so pleased it was so peaceful there's nothing like falling asleep to the sound of a rippling stream as always thank you for sharing your time on the trail.

[@Mickster8614]

Hey, Susie and Luke. I have to say this is one of your better overnighters. Though I do like the gear reviews, this one had none of that and was enjoyable just for the fact that we got to follow along on an adventure in what looks to me to be a great area for hiking and camping. Thanks for taking us along.

[@ellenparsons5952]

You guys are the cutest couple on here. I love how you both complement each other and respect each other that’s what a good marriage is all about. God bless you both. 😊😊😊

[@geraldinefields1730]

Great trail. Ten mile hiking round trip. Susie chose well for your wonderful adventure. The low speed limit is right for the blue ridge parkway. Your area is beautiful so enjoy the scenery. I hope you never hit an animal. Mess you up. Please drive carefully. You are both awesome. Thank you for filming your adventure and posting.

[@comodogg]

Hello Luke and Susie I've been watching your show on KZbin for a long long time. I like the way you demonstrate how to do your camping. I also think you're the perfect example how to treat your wonderful wife Susie I want you guys all the time both of you guys are very lucky to have each other

[@redsorgum]

Awesome scenery. What a trip to see the cabin out in the middle of nowhere.

[@spyfiction4]

You should do more trips with Susie. You are a lucky man and she is a awesome woman. I wish you two all the lucky and happiness

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello Luke and Suzie, it is good to see both of you out on the trail again. It is a very picturesque area. It looks like Suzie planned a great outing. I am going to kick back in my recliner and watch the rest of your fine video. The very best of good things for both of you. Be safe, take care and always have fun. 🤗

[@todddinezza3921]

Hi Luke & Susie, Thanks for sharing this overnight hiking and camping video! Looks like you had a great time & glad to see that too. As always, Best Wishes and have a great Mothers Day Weekend!

[@joegreening3290]

Good one Luke and Susie !

[@alexanderweaver9182]

I have a spider story for you, Luke. While camping in the AZ desert near Gila Bend with several EOD guys, I woke one morning to this strange feeling on my chest. I opened my eyes to see a huge tarantula traversing from left to right. That damn thing was bigger than my fist! I watched it until it disappeared into a hole at the base of a monstrous Saguaro cactus. My EOD tent mate told me it was a good thing I did not try to brush it off of me; it would have triggered it to bite with its large fangs.

[@johnbarone3711]

Hey Guys! I always would take a wash cloth, pour isopropyl alcohol on it so its damp not soaking, and put that in a glad bag..used to do this when I was in USMC and it cools you down immediately and disinfects you. Its like a sponge bath in a hospital...

[@HikingFeral]

Great idea ! So it must work by evaporation removing heat? Really useful stuff

[@charlottekey8856]

Funny, I don't like the word "wipes" either. Thought I was the only one. They have chemicals and who knows what. Might be a good idea to cultivate a preference for cotton wash cloths.

[@butchlewis2136]

YES....Im not the only man that hates spiders!!! And quit videoing you yawning, it makes me yawn automatically. Thank you for sharing your trip. So pleasant!

[@gunterbecker8528]

U guys rock,wish u all the happiness, n good camping Luke and Susie ! Enjoy all your reviews 🥨👍

[@CreatorInTrng]

You two together are awesome.....The water-shoes are a brilliant idea - will have to remember that one (light-weight and multi-purpose around camp)...Here's the other thing about that - my wife is also concerned about falling in the streams (noone wants to), but she is the first person to take off her shoes and go in the water - stream, lake, pond, creek - whatever - whereever there's water. It is a fascinating journey through that former domicile, actually not that long ago, of people who could be your neighbors. Early-season camping - quiet, peaceful - tranquil.

[@rkf2746]

"I would ride a bear before I messed with a spider". LoL!!!! I'm right there with you on that!

[@bobesselstyn4917]

thanks folks for letting us hang with you ,always good to see a new post Luke take care you and Susie

[@johngeisiii8090]

Right on the mark about the microburst That area got hit hard a couple of yrs ago. That’s a pretty popular campground. You ate lunch about 30 yds from the gravesite of the young girl who lost her life during the flood. Thanks for the video

[@ireneweiler2533]

Nice adventure to watch. Thanks for the great two pole tarp set up on one of your other videos I saw on KZbin. I can’t find it again to comment on that one so I’m mentioning it here. My husband an I just started car camping again. We needed a easy tarp set up for the rain. We used a rectangle tarp 9x12. with 8 foot adjustable poles in the front. It works great. We are seniors so we need easy set ups for camping. Thanks again

[@ColHatley]

I have been to Dalton Park probably 1000 time in my life but, not camping. just riding the Blue Ridge. Gosh, have I ever been missing out, but my Wife will not camp. Thanks for taking me on the trip, Brother I immensely enjoyed it...However I will be checking it out in Oct-Nov. Gotta love winter camping. ATB Von

[@ginaleefarber2422]

Oh my what a truly awesome video. And yes Luke there are many of us who prefer to total woman even when backpacking or camping. And Susie you are one great gal. Keep up the adventures together. These are so much fun.

[@jasonkirita5089]

Luke and Susie, I love this video! It looked like a very beautiful up there! Awesome!

[@rudyo8409]

Great video'Loved the adventure. Thank you both for sharing a beautiful scenic hike. You rock Dude.... and dudette.

[@andreawunderlich7130]

What an incredible hike and location. I loved all of the water crossings and chimneys.

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

Gorgeous area Luke thanks for taking us along!

[@TheMainecadillacman]

So far, this video is my favorite..I've seen many of your posts but, this one is tops. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!!

[@joannconfer1144]

You both are great to follow on your camping trips. Wow

[@beartrackwoods4720]

I have to tell you guys, you guys are an amazing couple. Thank you for sharing such of good information! My wife and I love to see you two doing hikes together.!!! We haven't been very active doing hikes you know life's circumstances, but we are working on to go back and start doing some hikes again by next year.

[@KowT]

Another awesome trip from you guys. Thank you beautiful Suzy for the great ideas as usual and thank you Luke for another great upload.

[@aliceg9571]

That was a nice trip you planned Susie. You guys are so good together I will have to agree with Luke this time as far as towels instead of wipes. Even hand sanitizers aren’t my first pick but are useful til you can get soap and water. Just my preference. Thanks for sharing.

[@alchannell4135]

Great to see how much you love your wife and she you, awesome . Rare these days.

[@stevenwilson6450]

Outstanding, loved every minute of this episode!

[@diannsanford5188]

Loved the hike! Thank y'all.

[@hurleyflyer263]

I loved every second of it. Thank you, Suzy, for choosing that trail and Luke for being such a stud, a press-stud lol . Maybe a Drone for some extra footage poss. Nice one guys.

[@itsmewoodG]

If that is federal land , it would be ilegal to fly a drone, unless you get a permit

[@MariaWelsh-lu6fg]

Luke, you are quite the character. Love this channel 🤗🩵🙌🏻

[@LeetPitdog]

That's a nice hike been a few times myself. Glad to see ya pouring water on that fire. Just the other day in Linville gorge was on fire because of a camper not making sure there fire was out.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

I saw the headline concerning the Linville fire; ensuring that the fire is out is a must! - Luke

[@kevinray7237]

Thank you both for bringing us along.

[@jeffsmith.3516]

Another great adventure! You both are awesome, thanks for sharing with us!!

[@wandaschmitz4775]

I enjoyed susies trip..awesome you two.

[@walkerone9833]

Looks like Suzzie could use a pair of trekking poles/balance sticks for some of the rocky water crossings. Also, there are some very nice water bottle holders you clip on your shoulder straps molle loops so you can access the bottle easily.Hangs right in front of you comfortably. I know at least one recent vid you complained you couldn't put the water bottle back into the pack holder. Thanks for letting us come along!

[@JanStewart590]

Hi you two! I love the area and all the crossing of the water! It was interesting to hear about the history of the area tool

[@henrikstenlund5385]

You really have the skills and patience for doing nice videos, thank you. Personally, I usually hike near lakes and rivers and the water in Lapland is so pure that you can drink straight from the lake. Washing the face or going swimming is common, no worries. It is also very quite out there, just as you did have in this video. Sometimes a week can pass without meeting any people unless you go to some popular trail. But there are innumerable trails available in the wilderness and you can design your own. And, you never need any permits here.

[@suezaple4950]

Beautiful trail, similar to the many with have here in Ontario as well as all of Canada in general , looked like an awesome adventure for you both, I love hiking and camping in the wilderness on Crown land it is free to residents in Ontario., but it is hard to find friends who enjoy it as much as me Roughing it that is., If it was hot out here, it would be humid as well, I would have cooled off in the stream along the way, I don't mind getting dirty . Awesome to see the remnants of the old ruins . love the cabin and history of the area . great video folks Ontario Canada

[@carls1959]

You guys are great out there together. I hope you can include Susie in a lot more of your videos. I'm now looking up direction to that cabin area. Keep them coming.

[@WardenWolf]

Get yourselves some good sets of Lowa Renegade GTX hiking boots. As long as it doesn't go over the top of the boot, you can step in the water and your feet will remain bone dry. I've worn them for years and their build quality has always been excellent. Never had them leak, ever, and I've been through 3 or 4 pairs over the last 20 years or so. Once slipped and stepped in a creek, totally submerging the boot. Top of my sock and very topmost area of the boot's padding got wet, but my feet were bone dry.

[@XPLRNW]

I just wanted to say hi, my name is Daniel Thomas, I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago and figured that I'd watch some of your videos... 2 videos led to 6 videos and 6 turned into like 20 videos... Then I subscribed.. lol. Honestly I really love your style... BOTH of you are awesome. My wife and I think you guys totally rock. Like you Luke, I grew up in the outdoors and I was blessed with that for sure... I watched a few of your FIRST vids and was like... SUPER COOL... Its like watching my brother or something...lol We lucky few... Thanks for being awesome! I look forward to see what is in store for your channel for sure... I'm stoked that you are about to hit 200K you totally deserve it! "FORTUNE FAVORS THE PREPARED MIND" You guys are doing amazing things! I started feeding my channel about 4 weeks ago... I'm from the PNW, northwest Washington. I grew up in the foothills of the cascades.. I just picked up a canoe today.. super stoked about that... anyways... not to ramble on about outdoor stuff... its just fun! MAKE it a great weekend friends... stay safe out there.. much love all around from your friend Daniel -abouthewild Strength and Honor

[@kevinbungles]

Cracking hike, and Susie always asses the risk, it’s better to be risk adverse and safe than encounter a mishap as it would spoil the hike

[@willong1000]

Hey Kevin, I had to read you comment twice. Thought I needed a course in Aussie or Brit slang until I realized you meant Susie always "assesses" the risk--at least I think that's what you meant!

[@Clarence61962]

I really enjoyed that. I, especially, liked the adventure of discovery. And, I learn something every video, again! This time is no different. The planning/packing video was very good, as well. I do get jealous of the fact you get to select from a gear room of choices.

[@hondo767]

about 30 years ago I lived not too far from there on Cherry Lane...truly beautiful part of NC! Awesome trip guys!

[@jdcpac]

Great video Luke, good job on picking such an interesting place to visit Susie.

[@ernestpaul2484]

In the Army and after always had both, well the wipes when they were finally invented. The wash cloth was great for most of the body as were the wipes. But the wipes win primarily because of the specific use for "Monkey Butt", as well as their general purpose. Unscented of course. The OD dish sized towel was a must. Keep up the good work, nice to see a young married couple actually enjoying themselves together sharing a common interest.

[@thefucrew9865]

Thank you for sharing this. It's great to see others exploring the woods. Especially, when we live in Chicago. Keep up the great work, Guys !!!

[@kevincorgel3384]

Great trip ,good job Suzy!

[@stevendeatley4878]

I like the wash cloth.,I prowled all over the desert between Ft.Bliss and White Sands and I always had my wash cloth and small green towel no matter how hot it got I kept my little green towel around my neck if I had plenty of water I could soak the towel and keep it around my neck the wet towel kept the sun off your neck and it kept you cool also.

[@searcher2328]

Hey Luke,,like the vid's,,,Glad you have Susie with you,,between the two of you,,She's defiantly the prettier one , but I do agree with you , "Wash Cloth" you can use them, wash em , use them again.

[@michaelowens944]

Great to see you with your wife.

[@ogsavage1928]

16:23. That's right Susie! Better safe than sorry. He'll need someone to help him down when he sprains an ankle, lol.

[@rebekahelrod3642]

The scenery is awesome!!

[@rj3131986]

Looks awesome! Makes me want to get out of the house soon.

Loved your "shared adventure" Luke and Suzie!

[@ZKawasaki-ny9ju]

I lived in hendersonville and built the forestry department with Cooper contruction near sliding rock and looking glass falls NC. Love every bit of those mountains! Great video and I agree views of the perfect women, we are lucky men to be blessed with queens.

[@mobiltec]

Excellent video Luke. Those are the kind of places I love to go.

Nice hiking trip over water crossings! Bonfire was epic too!

[@paulmilsaps4476]

Great adventure you two, Thanks for taking us along. Sorry Luke I vote with Suzie, wipes over wash cloth.

[@pawoutdoors9290]

Awesome vid. Looks like a great place. Thx for taking the time.

[@nurse28707]

Great vid, recognized the road leading to the Parkway and wanted to let you I made it back to Doughton Park first time in 2 years, but like you found everything closed (as the Ranger office) until May. I was there April 30! It was 86 degrees. Glad I was not camping, but enjoyed the view from the location of your time lapse sunrise vid a couple of years ago.

[@unseen1228]

This is one of the you best films...

You need to try camping/hiking in Michigan. The upper peninsula is awesome!!

[@michaelmathis1961]

You need to take Susie with you on more adventures!

[@RB-fb5jf]

[@ravins3622]

Great video guys. Keep it up. Like when you both do the adventures. Susie is feminine yet tough and genuine

[@raymondgonzalez5535]

Your a lucky man having a good wife that participates in the adventure you like .

[@gewamser]

Really great video Luke and Suzy!

[@2naturesownplace]

Many many a time up that way.. use to be you had to get permission from the family to stay at the cabin. And the trail was for humans and horses only. I read power up and down that whole area for Duke Energy while recovering from knee surgery. If you knew how many times I parked in that exact spot you did for lunch. Hoisted the hammock and took me a good one hour nap. And your suspicions about Longbottom the way you came you were spot-on. But if you continue don't out the other direction, you would have seen civilization improving again

[@glennfryer1539]

Loved the trip ... and loved the humour.. had to laugh ..

[@johningle8439]

Great trip, great video. Way to go Susie.

[@donlittle4290]

Damn. Are these two former Green Berets? Rocks in the water are slick. What knowledge.

[@karinheart]

I love wipes. But wash clothes are wonderful too

[@hasanmiah6386]

Great video I would love to go hiking.keep up the good work

[@scottmoore8080]

Thank you so much for taking us along. Just the amount of talk great info, wonderful. Walking sticks, hat? Correct on thunderstorms those little cricks turn into raging rivers. Great exam the two of you. Guys thanks😊

[@richardmartin1506]

Awesome video Susie and Luke, sorry ladies first. Kudos to Susie for picking an awesome spot. Was hoping to see some Bears, but like Luke they were probably still Yawning. Next adventure soon I hope.

[@davidatkinson47]

Luke, oh, to buy gas three years ago. You feel me? A dam, out in the middle of the woods,made in that style, probably used to be the power source for a mill of some kind. Probably for wood, but that power could have been used in many ways (we use it now to make electrical power, for example) Maybe a complex of them. I also saw rhododendrons in that shot. That's not a primordial forest. It's been cleared and regrown at least once at some point, what you see and enjoy in this video only exists because that mill went out of business. That last probably happened antebellum. But that's just an educated guess. Our Mother is stronger than we think. That said I'm glad that we don't do it that way anymore.

[@Hogprint25]

So we did the Rails to Trails on White Mt. outside of Abington, VA...there was this Giant boulder about 5 feet above a creek...perfect camera shot up the creek w the Mountain Laurel on both sides...i get a couple of shots then inch out to get a “better” shot...you guessed it....slipped and went ass over teakettle into the creek! Camera busted...didn’t get any more pics the rest of the trip🙁
