Rain Camping in the Largest Tent That I Have Ever Used

[@shirleyburk2218]

Don't change the way you do anything! I'm 70 yrs young with joint disabilities. I love camping and being in nature. Since I can't do some of the things I used to do I can at least feel like I'm out there with you camping. I love the tent you're using! I'd love to afford one. I believe I could set it up myself after seeing you do it. I set up down by the pond out at my kids farm and stay for days at a time. My 10 yr old granddaughter stays with me. We've got 40 acres to stay on with a beautiful 2 acre pond full of great fish. You can take the Grandma out of the country but you will never take the country out of me!

[@raap141]

Camping and rain ,the best feelings and I am 64 and a woman !

[@MattsWhatSheSaidd]

don’t sell yourself short!! we are as old as we feel!

[@danielkutcher5704]

I'm 70, and I hiked half of the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail last year. I intended to do the whole thing, but my knee got damaged from a fall, and I am breaking in a new one. Enjoy whatever you can get of the outdoors. It's good for the soul!

[@Arlene_witha_y]

I’ll probably be like you in 23 years

[@stacyeilers3008]

It was great hearing about the biscuits and gravy. It was my grandmas favorite meal. She lived to be 100 1/2. When you asked her how she lived so long she would always say biscuits and gravy. It was even that last meal she had. Thanks for reminding me of a great memory. She was an amazing woman.

[@missedmurphy]

She sounds like an amazing woman. You obviously got tk spend time with her. You'll help carry on her spirit

[@user-tiweng69]

As a Canadian, poutine (poo-tin), is nothing like your biscuits and gravy. Poutine is French fries (crispy) with cheese curds on top and then smothered in a brown gravy! A Canadian favourite!!! One day I will attempt to make biscuits and gravy! I enjoy your channel very much! Keep it up!

[@janeenimmock5484]

Love pouting.

[@janeenimmock5484]

Grrr, auto-correct...poutine

[@ricstormwolf]

Gross. You lost me at cheese curds, then again at gravy on fries. Lol

[@AmyStoneYT]

@@ricstormwolfdon’t knock it till you try it 😉 It’s amazing 😋 🇨🇦

[@mtadams2009]

I have had both and it’s much better then biscuits and gravy. Biscuits and gravy is average at best. My wife is from Texas and she loves it though. I have tried it many times trying to understand why people make such a big deal about it. I think people who grow up eating love to more. It’s all good.

[@markkitaoka8783]

The amount of editing you must do is incredible. I'm not smart enough to do video, but appreciate your level of skill. Enjoy your time away, Luke.

[@ThaiTraveler69]

I'm from the Appalachian mountains and my bisquits and gravy from scratch are to die for.

[@johnrogers6291]

Very impressed with the number of shots involved in getting that log from so far away and capturing such a multitude of shots to get it to the camp! Bravo 🙌

[@darmstrong2207]

Biscuits & Gravy oh my that's what I had for dinner tonight. I live in Missouri, I have a friend that was from upstate New York. Her son came in town and I brought them B & G, they had never had or even heard of B & G. They loved it, I had to teach her son how to make it before he went back home.

[@dustinwright1083]

I watch these videos late at night in the dark, it helps me relax.

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

Cheers everyone. I am enjoying a much need break from chemo. Carpe Diem everyday.🤙

[@leslielabs4450]

Much strength and love to you.

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind note.👍

[@nicecatholicgrl]

I'm just a little ahead with my radiation..and it's a dark much cooler rainy day in Kansas. I'm always looking for that perfect large tent .love to take our young grandkids camping and fishing !

[@CavemanOutdoorsMissouri]

Screaming for attention

[@jakejackson1969]

Made me chuckle the 20 clips / cuts of you carrying a tree/ firewood back to you camp ., tip . Theres trees a few feet from you 😂

[@fishordie1992]

​@@TheRealSteveEllis you mean green firewood won't burn? 😂

[@chappy48]

He is looking for deadfall that hasn't sat on the ground/gotten rotted out and is dry enough for firewood. You don't just cut down a random tree and use that for firewood.

[@taxidriver00754]

Hey Luke I love the outdoors here in England, and watching your videos keeps giving me the motivation to getting out here in the north Yorkshire moors

[@lindawoody8501]

Just remember our USA "Biscuits" are like savory crumpets or muffins - just small round cuts of fluffy risen buttermilk bread but they are not cookies or dessert sweets.

[@redsorgum]

✌️🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️

[@jeeper426]

i'm blown away that such an enormous tent can be ~300 bucks on amazon, and it looks like its really good quality, if i ever decide to upgrade from the 2p tent i'm using i might consider something like this just for the fact its tall enough to stand up inside of and you don't have to crawl into and out of it, great video, sweet tent, and stay safe out there

[@NoCoastGolf]

Not sure why, but I sat here and watched a man cut wood for several minutes and enjoyed every minute.

[@thecorvus100]

Watching him pack everything back up the very next morning just makes me want to stay home. 😂. It’s like a second job that you don’t get paid to do.

[@Joe-kf4bs]

That was a very enjoyable adventure Luke. Thanks for bringing me along

[@lindawoody8501]

Your faithful stump sure has often come in handy during these fine adventures. Glad you keep it for these purposes. Yes, that is one enormous car camping type multi-person big family tent!

[@debrarobinson615]

I absolutely love your videos! I'm 68 yrs young and still love camping. And I'm a woman. Keep inspiring me!

[@margiepierce3913]

I'm 61 and love his videos. I love camping

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

I'm 69 yrs young and I love his videos too

[@annenamishia9902]

Hi Luke. Y’all’s temps are great. We are in the high 80s and 70s at night. But we have been out of the tornado weather. 1 tornado a year is plenty for anyone. My heart goes out to all who have been affected. I am a weather person and watch it closely. I like the tent but I would use it for 2. Our tent is for 6 but we are the only ones besides the dogs that stay in it. Looking forward to this trip. Enjoy you Luke. Thanks for all your positive thoughts.

[@cuz129]

Just great content. You are that guy, the coolest friend who can do it all better than us, but never talks down to us. Fun to virtually camp with you. Strength and honor!

[@georgemcclure9223]

That is a nice tent. Impressive!

[@Bigsky1886]

This tent would be perfect for a tiny home /minimalist living

[@erizzle67]

As a 53 year old American who grew up in the southeast - like, the bbq southeast - I’ve learned recently that apparently biscuits and gravy is a “thing” here. Funny story: once some friends and I stopped at Cracker Barrel very late. One of my friends, to the surprise of the rest of us, ordered biscuits and gravy. No idea they even had it. But the funny part is the waitress came out to check on us my friend said the biscuits and gravy were amazing. She said well we’re about to close so if he wanted more he could have it for free; if not they’re just going to throw it away. He said well if you’re saying it’s basically garbage, then yes!

[@deanhockenberry9268]

I’m the old guy who can take the spice, the hotter the better. A hot chicken restaurant in Nashville called Party Fowl has a menu item right up my ally. It’s a half chicken called poultrygiest and it burns before the first bite. Thirty minutes after finishing I think I learned what a hot flash was. Literally head to toe burn and sweating, so fun!

[@magi267]

Good to you, I can't stand spicy. I'm so bland I'm boring.

[@kristenburkett4274]

Can't wait for the rain test. And your idea about how to keep water from coming in when you got in and out during the rain. Also would like to see one of both you and Susie using it together sometime.

[@jlucasound]

That is incredible! This is the first time I have seen a tent with a garage! 🤣😂😉

[@lindawilson4625]

Thanks for the relaxing camping trip complete with a beautiful fire. The sound of rain on a tent is such a stress reliever...up until you have to dry the thing out to put it away Nice tent at a bargain price. Thanks for sharing your adventure! I know you'll have fun on your well deserved getaway with your family.

[@brianf714]

Perhaps the most well-documented segment of a guy carrying a log!

[@FatMatAdventures]

My thoughts exactly lol!

[@bobeink]

My favorite scene, watching that log roll

[@Hippiemanthc]

Lol

[@RobertMuller-ep1xn]

Why not walk right behind the tent, IN THE WOODS, to find some small logs?!

[@StormyNight777]

It probably wasn't that heavy. It was a dead, half rotted log. The tree he looked at first would have been a different story. I would have gone with the dead log as well.

[@erasmusmonk]

Reading this chat made my week. Be encouraged-

[@joannconfer1144]

Hi Luke, I love the tent, I enjoyed the fire, food looked good. Best of all…… it rained. Sounds good hitting the tent. Oops, I’m sorry it got wet. I’m impressed with this tent, too. We’ll have to do this again, soon. Thanks…. See you next time. Say hi to Susie for me….. 🙋🏻‍♀️💖😊

[@Outoftheboxwithfelicia]

That size if tent would work for me. I don't like small, tight places .

[@kateq7212]

I once went camping in the Peak District, by myself, with a very small tent that my kids had used for Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. I had been camping with my family for years in family sized tents. Discovered I was claustrophobic. I had to sleep in my car and buy a new tent the next day. My husband couldn't believe I had purchased another tent.

[@kearnsey64]

It screams for a nice rug though?

[@byerenny]

​@kearnsey64 You see, I had this rug, man. It really tied the tent together but some bear peed on it.

[@faithrada]

​@@byerenny That's as bad as a very dirty bear in my hot tub. 😢

[@measzie8260]

I came across this channel and I’m hooked. This guy is pretty cool. He shows you what you can use to survive.

[@johnlee6727]

Watching the Korean Ladies Camping videos is the way I would like to camp if I wanted to camp. They have super large comfortable tents (or homes). They cook real food versus freeze dried crap. Everything is comfortable looking. They even watch movies. As a veteran from the 60's who avoided the ham and eggs which usually had the same color of the C-ration can, camping the Korean women way looks like the way to go.

[@ianmurray4081]

Here in Korea a lot of national parks have dedicated sites with large prospector type tents that are already set up and can be booked in advance.

[@clairehachey2189]

Canadian here, and sorry to say, but I've been hearing of biscuits and gravy for years. As for someone from Canada mentioning that we don't '' have it up here '', that made me smile :) Actually, it's not something someone has, it's something someone makes, and I've made it many times! Looking forward to making biscuits & gravy on my next camping trip :)

[@yaminahvannest2054]

The folding metal wood stove was the best purchase we made! It was marketed as a portable fire pit and is designed for that purpose. Even in 35 degree weather at full burn it was warm enough to sit by while my husband worked on our back up heater when the the tent stove got too smokey. Love that you reviewed a large tent!

[@jdtallant3751]

When Luke was talking about having to dry that tent out, I got a mental picture of him trying to stuff it in a big dryer at a laundromat. I'm easily amused. 😂😂😂

[@militarypolice360]

Sausage Gravu with hot Buttered biscuits and Bluebwrry jam on the side with Hot coffee..IS America's soul and Grandma's breakfast for the champs.and because it's j7st plain delicious.❤😊 love the Tent.

[@MuirWoods111]

Didn’t know about biscuits and gravy until I moved from California to Texas. Now back home in California, but biscuits and gravy are now a staple in my home. Love it!

[@marciakipp3633]

I love the 'silent ones' !!! They are 'just right ' for some of us! ...❤😊

[@Art-kf1ep]

Have your brother join you for a camp outing sometime like when you were kids….that would be a great show….

[@danielkutcher5704]

The sound of rain on a tent or tarp is so soothing. It's the most exposed that one can be to nature without getting wet. Drying out wet gear is no fun, though, especially on a long term hike. I have been doing long hikes for years, and was so glad when DCF (formerly Cuben Fiber) became available, and I bought a hammock tarp made from it. It hardly holds any water (just whatever sticks by surface tension), doesn't stretch, and dries super quick. That's quite a tent!

[@Addy-ft4ps]

Outstanding camera angles...again! Thanks for your hard work filming, Luke.

[@earlshaner4441]

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY Luke and thank you for sharing your adventures and equipment testing and sharing the facts and truth

[@em6577]

Brew time...I loved this tent when you showed it. Lookin forward to this one ❤

[@robedmunds7163]

Nature sounds in this one were lovely

[@dudenamedclem]

The thing I always take with a grain of salt is the set-up time, considering he's set up a huge amount the ability to adapt and understand how to set them up I would think would be greatly reduced compared to someone like me who hasn't set up a tent in years... But he does make it look easy!

[@fishordie1992]

These instant tents are idiot proof. Can set a huge one up in no time.

[@karronfarias9946]

I thought everyone ate biscuits and gravy 😂. I’m from Kentucky and I’ve made biscuits and gravy for 45 years. Love it

[@mikeburkhalter1130]

Great job again Luke! I prefer car/truck camping as I get older! Thanks for the adventure!

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

wow that thing is a palace!

[@stevenrandolph5635]

Great video Luke i hope you and Susie jave a great time visiting your son on your vacation.

[@javadude666]

I'm happy to hear your taking a few days with your family you deserve it, enjoy it man.

[@morganashleyroll3805]

Omgosh Luke. By far my most favorite adventure. Wonderful stories too. I'm going on my first of the year camping trip July 5th - 7th at Sprague Brook Park ( County ) here in Buffalo / 25 miles south. Note . . I'm riding my bike with a new trailer. And. And. I even bought a 8 person tent ( Coleman ) . Never used. Anywho...... wish me luck..

[@marktibbetts3799]

That tent looks to be made very well and out of great materials. Very good looking tent.

[@paulinemary975]

nice looking tent luv thecolours thanks Luke hi Suzy👍🎉🎉 have a lovely trip Luke u deserve it✌️🥂🥂🥂

[@vallinnat]

In the UK biscuit are what you dunk in tea and gravy is brown and poured over a Sunday dinner (pot roast) . I did try biscuits and gravy in Afghanistan though and loved it 🇬🇧 x

[@paulpuglia8480]

I like it when you do 1-hour big tent Adventures you need to do more of those my friend have a happy safe trip.

[@robertwest187]

Luke, I watch you over and over set up your tent and gear and still am amazed at how easily you get it all set up. I laugh when I hear the clicks of the chair frame going together. What a humongous tent this 8 man was -- almost big enough for the truck. Keep up the good work-- bring Susie back...

[@TheGrantourismo]

Lovely ultra-light setup!

[@dirtycommtroop]

Best car camping tent i've ever had (and still have) is the Alps Mountaineering Meramac 6. Not sure how long i've had it but it's outlasted all the others. Only 2 poles for the tent and 1 for the rainfly. Super easy to setup since the tent just clips to the poles. It fits a queen mattress with plenty of room to spare without it being too big of a package. Never had a drop of rain inside but last year I sprayed the tent anyway.

[@outdoorsfan4179]

I used an 8 person 12 foot by 12 foot Outback lodge tent with one main center pole that was 9 feet high. Perfect tent for two people with or without cots. It held up great in strong winds and heavy rain. Glad you got to test a large tent for the extra comfort it offers. They can be a lot of fun if you have a campsite large enough to set it up.

[@conniegheer576]

I love this tent! I've always bought the big tents, because I've always had kids camping with me. Now that they are all adults and have their own tents, I still have an 8 man tent lol...I finally have all that space to myself! I haven't been camping yet tho. It has been CRAZY here with severe weather...Minden, IA half hour west of me, took a direct tornado hit in April...and then Greenfield, IA half hour Southeast, had a tornado rip through town just last week. 🥺 We all decided to wait a little longer before getting the tents out. I miss my campfire coffee 😏

What swell guy to bring a tent for his new 4runner to stay inside out of the rain!

One of the Korean camping videos actually featured a drive in SUV tent. Had enough room for day living space. Sleep in the van/SUV.

[@MyDarkspyro]

The vehicle is used for backup for very ugly weather

[@richardcollinsuk6694]

The skill and effort that you clearly put into making this video is immense, and your video production quality is outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute, and learnt a lot in the process! New subscriber from the UK :)

[@MikeycatOutdoors]

Canadian Poutine is french fries & cheese curds smothered in brown gravy. American biscuits & gravy is more akin to fluffy scones and a white milk/sausage gravy for anyone across the pond. And Puntang is a mountain in Southern Indonesia...yeah yeah, thats it. 👌

[@marciakipp3633]

Been doing homemade biscuits an gravy for years! From the West Coast! Gosh, we have this dish at so many gas stations!!! They're allover California and Oregon....❤😊

[@midwestiowashooter]

Looks like a variation of the Bushnell 9 person Insta Tent. Rain fly and front door differ some but it’s the same tent. Wife loves it since I can comfortably bring a full size air mattress, couple chairs, and a small table with room for dogs out lay comfortably. Occasionally have to seam seal some spots.

[@ClaudeBohls]

Sweet tent. Uuge glamptastic. Bring towels? Oooool LuuuukeySuzie!!! That is a Cadillac setup. I really like that stove(propane) your outdoor cooking skills have improved dramatically. I’ve cooked professionally for decades. You’re doing it right. Maturing in the culinary arts. lol but seriously

[@P-RJ7]

Ditto on the Biscuits & Gravy - I'm from Australia too and when I lived in the US for a year, Biscuits & Gravy was definitely a new favourite food that I crave from time to time! We've got quite strict food guidelines here so we can't import certain brands/foods due to some of the ingredients, but just like Sally, you can make them from scratch with local ingredients!

[@barberjeff67]

I'm impressed on how quick that tent went up. And don't feel bad, I'm not a fan of spicy foods! Lol. I enjoy watching these videos. I don't tent camp anymore as I require a cpap machine and it's too much of a pain. It's been in the 80s and humid in north central Vermont lately. Very unusual for us! Cheers! And Darn Tough socks are made within walking distance from me!

[@susanbeever5708]

Thanks! I’m curious how this tent compares to the Browning Glacier tent.

[@b77934]

You are sweeping your forest well. Putting up the tent is my favorite thing about camping, but being fast is fine. I find putting up tents always takes longer especially if wet.

[@erichillerich2413]

Luke, I got my NatureHike 8 person Cape today. I purchased this tent because of your review videos of it. Can't wait to use it on our fall camp.

[@KuntryRD]

Being from WV, I can't even imagine life without biscuits and gravy! I am looking forward to your review on that fire pit thingy. I want one, but will wait for your opinion on it. That is one big tent! A person could have a dance party in it.

[@dennisshorter]

I would like to see you put a tail on Trails. Put up that 8 person tent connected to the back of Trails. Mega camp with even a tarp setup beside it. Thanks for the show, I'm sure the silent version will be out soon. Take care and God bless.

[@marciakipp3633]

In the early 90's, there was a Dairy Queen in Madras, Oregon, that served biscuits and gravy. All the cooks were in their 50's and could "really cook"! 😊

[@prmath]

That campfire…… was a classic. I’m at a loss for words…….. 👀😳👀

Luke, Poutine is absolutely delicious. What it consists of is hand cut fries, white cheese curds sprinkled on top and then covered in brown gravy. I was introduced to it when I went to Canada. You must try it. It's very high in calories but ohhh so good. By the way I love your channel. sending Much love your way.

Biscuits and gravey is a meal on its own. The world is finding how good it is. I've seen on different sites that people who try it realize what they were missing I watch Your New Zealand Family. They are trying different foods from the USA and are on another trip throughout this country
