Another lovely adventure to share from my back patio. I grew up in eastern KY and now live in Knoxville, TN. Luke, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a little cake for breakfast, and if it is reminiscent of cornbread, just that much more delicious. Growing up in Appalachia, cornbread and biscuits were our definition of bread. Be safe.

[@RattledAwakeBooks]

kNOXVILLE! mE, TOO!

[@reyscottm9]

I don't usually comment, but I wanted to take a minute to say that I really appreciate you wholesome content. I appreciate your honesty and agenda-less reviews. I appreciate the sweetness of Suzie. In an age of sensationalism and negativity y'all are a beacon of purity. I pray the world doesn't crush that out of you. It'll try.

[@azclaimjumper]

Well put. And the reason Luke's channel has so many subscribers & Patreon supporters.

[@berthapitts2905]

Yes Luke and Susie are the best. I fell like they are an extension of my family.

[@LeonatoAugust]

Well said 👍

[@KOKOAXXXable]

Ur words r kind n gentle even to a random reader 😊

[@kylied932]

Well said 👍

[@martageist106]

Here's a laugh for you. My husband's relatives came over to Canada. They went out camping for 5 days. Just to see how roughing was like in the wilderness. When they came back to our house they told us they had lobster tails, tenderloin steaks, wine etc. They had a great time roughing it. Guess it'll be a good story when they return home 😂 Good video Luke. Thanks so much.

[@markwagoner3599]

I sooo agree with you on the rain thing. I have a tin roof over my porch and I love sitting out there and listening to the rain. I use a rain sounds app to sleep to as well

[@davem7847]

What make and model of lantern did you use in this episode. Does it use an internal rechargeable Lithium Ion battery?

[@david.9633]

Thank you for another episode

[@stuartcrane9409]

So much new equipment in every video, when are you launching your chain of shops?

[@mikepressley3956]

I hope people realize how much work it is to make a video like this. Moving the camera 1000 times and getting different shots is so time consuming not to mention the editing after. Great work as always and thanks for the content.

[@HeidiSC]

We need Susie to do a women’s gear and clothing, coats, hats and hiking boots review for winter.

[@amberlayne4206]

I second that! Especially because she’s more sensitive to the cold and so am I lol sleeping gear & puffys would be much appreciated

[@sharoncarthy3764]

Yes!!

[@lindadonahue9279]

I really love these stormy and foggy adventures. I can almost smell the forest. Thanks for taking us along!

[@sherrynordan9821]

Raising children at my age(63)has been a joy for me. I’m a grandmother alone raising grandchildren. Whatever situation, you just step up and do what you have to do to care for your family. We never know how life can change for us, but we keep living, giving of ourselves to the betterment of others. And yes, we do camp, grandmama getting them into the great outdoors. I thought about Abraham and Jacob in the Bible as you mentioned your brother-in-law and thought about how much more patience they had as they grew older and were able to give more in some ways than when they were younger. My grandchildren are the delight of my life! On Saturday’s after Band practice, and football band practice, Academic Team work, Beta Club, etc. all week, we enjoy watching your videos and just chill with you camping in the rain! We love your rain vids!

[@irenebush3773]

Same here

[@FaisalKhan064]

Camping in the rain is like a meditation... its so addictive and soul refreshing

[@kme]

I'm not a people person either. That's why I love camping. Especially when you're out in the middle of nowhere. I have a portable solar panel, so if I need to charge something, I can, tho it does take forever. It's just a wee thing, backpack sized. But it works. Thanks for sharing all your adventures. I had to laugh over that comment too. Some ppl can be pretty judgemental. But I try not to let it bug me. 👍 Positive thinking, right?

[@jb-rj4bi]

Thank you, Luke, for that awesome camping video. I love the way the thunder and rain sounds.😊

[@troy9856]

Luke thank you. I’m recovering from a stroke and watching you helps inspire me to get back on my feet. Thank you.

[@freespirit6209]

Good luck Troy. Keep at it. Greetings from the UK👍

[@davodinkum9090]

i love cooking simple things like hot dogs n burgers when i am camping. it nice to have easy meals like that so you don't have so much weight to carry in n out. plus i just enjoy keeping things simple camping as it gives me more time to appreciate the beauty of mother nature.

[@papajeff5486]

I absolutely love giving myself permission to sit still and be quiet. I used to do that in my hunting days. Taught my kids to do it. We used to play a game of sitting quietly and identifying every sound. They loved it when they were little girls and do it with their kids too. It’s okay to be still and listen. From northern Kentucky

[@clinthutchinson4097]

there is nothing like the rumbling of thunder through the mountains when camping, puts you to sleep fast.

[@PokeEyeSlapSlap]

He’s a 5ft 4” Rain Magnet…….What a Hero 🤫👏👏👏💦☔️⛈️

[@badmoon7549]

Yeah, I don't ever remember Western North Carolina being as stormy as it is for him. Seems as though there is a mega storm ever other day.

[@rickeerie]

Nature really is a tonic for the soul

[@nickw6084]

I really appreciate how he actually sits there and enjoys the outdoors. He doesn’t have to run around and hunt a wild boar for survival. He lets us take in the scenery and chill.

[@ArielleViking]

I so enjoy these adventures. Thank you so much Luke for bringing us along. ❤

[@supernovaf1]

I must say the quality of your filming continues to improve, the editing is on point too and the image quality superb. Oh and love the sound of the rain and thunder, it's wonderful.

[@RattledAwakeBooks]

IKR?! Quality so rich that the background looked green screen - high def. BEAUTIFUL!!

[@visnuexe]

I love your exploits in the foggy rain! Because you brought your table and chair you say you are glamping?! Last night i watched ABCamping spend 2 nights under a ginormous blow up tent with his new pimped out truck. So when i heard you claim you are glamping i had to laugh! I consider your smart camp set up as elegant as it gets. I love it. Watched your episode during a thunderstorm out on my back deck in deep appreciation.

[@berthapitts2905]

I really like that backpack. And I love your rainy camping it's so relaxing.

[@joannconfer1144]

Hi Luke, I know you like to hike, but I love the rain, especially at night. I hope Susie and the kids are doing well. I miss having them along. Are you and Susie taking a trip this year? I hope so…. That’s always fun to go along with you two. Take care and God Bless you and the family. 💖🙏🙋🏻‍♀️

[@normagrayston7931]

Don't feel bad Luke my boy and girl are in their forties, ouch.😂

[@conarc-d1037]

Absolutely love the sound of rain on a tarp or tent. Its just as good if not better than a nice drink.

[@dmtnw4480]

I love a good thunderstorm it relaxes me and I can sleep really well; most of the time I can sleep right through them then when I get up others will ask me how I liked the storm and I tell them didn't hear a thing my sister tells them I sleep right through and don't move at all just sleep hahaha

[@mawmawvee]

I like thunderstorms too, except for the one where lightning struck a pine tree in a neighbor's back yard and then jumped to our next-door neighbor's gas meter, ran up the gas line and into her house and blew up her gas water heater and set her house on fire!!! All turned out well for her and she got a whole newly rebuilt front of their living area. She is in her 90s, but rallied because of the kindness of a couple of other neighbors. It seemed to take forever for the repairs, but the repairs are better than the original. My prayers now contain, not only a plea to keep us safe from tornadoes and hail, but from lightning strikes. The strike blasted a lot of the bark from the path of the lightning, all over our own back yard! I collected it and still have it to show anyone who might have needed it for an inspection as to what happened. The pine tree didn't even die, but we can see the path the lightning bolt took until it reached the gas meter it jumped to. It looks like the tree survived the strike--amazing, but it did get struck in a tropical T-storm and perhaps the rain saved it from burning up. I still love to watch the rain.

[@bbicon29]

I believe in luck, I also believe you can create your own luck by making right choices

[@azclaimjumper]

My sentiments.

[@sondrajohnson2564]

When I was 11, my step-dad packed my Mom and I up, and we took off from WI pulling a simple pop-up camper. We took 2 weeks traveling the WY Rocky Mts. It was my first ever camping. Every evening we set up in a rain squall. Every morning the rain returned for a good hour. Knowing no different, I thought that this was the way camping was supposed to be! To this day, it isn't camping without some sprinkles!

[@reigndust]

Correct me if I'm wrong but yakisoba means fried/grilled soba, you're supposed to prepare it with water drained. Anyway, hi from Philippines, love your reviews and camps.

[@AuntMaryNC]

Great video. I wondered about ventilation in that tent and also why you didn't set it up under the protection of the tarp? Thanks for all the work you do, I enjoy all your adventures!

[@magi267]

I always wonder why the tent isn't fully under the tarp. I know that sometimes you want to be sure it's waterproof or to maximize the free room for camping life. Me, I'd want max protection from the weather. You just described your night, dang, be under the tarp so you could have opened the door for ventilation and not gotten wet. Love your videos.

[@khelben1979]

I really enjoyed this video! You do excellent work with your videos and keep up the good work! Kind regards from Sweden.

[@joemichaels4231]

Another great one! Love watching these videos and drinking a cold one!!!

[@nomadzatara]

Good adventure this week. Glad your tent wasn't full of water, that's nice to see. I hope you get a lot of snow this winter unlike last winter and there will be some epic snow adventures! Those are some of my favorite adventures to ever watch of yours. S&H.

[@crystalawrey2362]

I live in a Canada city that takes pride in having walking and biking paths threw the woods. You can actually travel threw to different parts of the city threw these trails! Unfortunately this homeless group keep taking them over! They are mentally unstable or on drugs! A man donated and transformed a building into a apartment complex for the group! They destroyed it in a year! They stripped the walls of copper pipes and sold them for drugs! Because of freedom policies like the USA they can’t do anything with them! The building was shut down because they destroyed it so bad! I loved hiking and biking those trails! You could stealth camp! Society has to change! They need to put somewhere so there not destroying our city!

[@ranpat86]

I love your adventures Luke! I look forward to Thursdays!

[@Stricknine9]

I love your channel. It’s a real down-to-earth and homey vibe. I love your taste when it comes to coffee. I like mine with a little “kick” to it as well. Cheers!

[@brendablackington8299]

Jeesh Luke, that morning coffee looks strong enough to carry your backpack back down to your vehicle!

[@mawmawvee]

LOL, Brenda! Such a cute comment!

[@thomasburns1230]

I am in the Army and really appreciate your honesty and integrity! I also really appreciate the fact that your reviews are straight forward with no bias and haven’t been bought! Keep knocking it out!!

[@johnwrinkle3443]

watched YOU instead of the impeachment hearing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

Hi Luke!: ANOTHER cool adventure!! THANKS! I don't know why some people think they have to be the FOOD POLICE. If they are healthy eaters more power to them, but don't dictate to others. The Hot Dog thing was hilarious! Speaking of food, I LOVE those Yakisoba noodles! My favorites are the Teriyaki Beef and Chicken flavor! Going to look for the Korean BBQ flavor! Adding some proteins to them is a great idea!

[@caririvera5144]

Great video. Quick question though. Did you feel a bit claustrophobic in that tent? I can’t imagine I wouldn’t. Looking forward to the next video 😊

[@cocobeddo]

Nice place, nice adventure!👍🏻 I would have placed the entrance from the tent under your dry tarp.

[@HeidiSC]

My favorite day of the week! Camping videos!!!

[@spc3461]

I'm 37 now and I have my daughter born just in 2019 I got married in 2019 thinking of this as Mr Luke said I started my life late.

[@MahdiMahdi-dj6op]

Hello luke i have missed your videos i was exactly with ur weekly adventures then i lost my phone for 4 months and i didn't watch your videos but now im galde to back the adventures again keep up good stuff bro!

[@xSiLviCoOk]

I haven't watched any camping videos in awhile cause i HATE summer camping, but now that its cooling off im catching up on all the vids, good to see your still going at it!

[@deekelley891]

Boy, I hate summer, too! Bugs, snakes, mosquitoes, gnats, sweat-yuck!

[@harrisdail9939]

Luke, have you done a review on that Tasmanian pack you're using in this video Well looks like that tent is either for winter or used with a tarp over it

[@phild8095]

in '96 When Tropical Storm Bertha was moving up the east coast I was camping. I had my tarp so low to the ground it was a cave with an 18" opening.

[@WCO3]

I'm not a people person either, so this is living the dream for me. Thank you Luke.

[@beacee]

Loving this channel. We finally had some rain today. So a doubly fun watch.💕

[@TaiaJunis]

Thank you for another great video Luke ... oh yeah! I love all the sounds ...the rain, assembling your gear, walking and coffee time. Cheers to you Luke ... cheers!

[@deborahphillips9034]

I’m 69 yrs old & use to go camping all by myself & love it. My Mom gave me a what for & told me to not ever do that again. I’m Taurus the Bull, it didn’t stop me. Raccoons is the only thing I had trouble with. However nowadays it wood not be a good idea even though I do have protection.

[@clinton65565]

I love the videos the sound of rain and thunder relaxes me

[@robedmunds7163]

Something deep inside us enjoys hunkering down in the fog and rain. The forest is a door into another land, just ask Grizzly Adams.

[@Omni0404]

Then I think about him having to trek all around moving his cameras and I lose the immersion lol

[@willothewispl]

I love being out in the rain in a tent. Lovely to sleep as long as you can stay dry and warm.

[@azclaimjumper]

Mother Nature RULES, adapt to her moods, otherwise you'll be miserable out in the boonies. Like the added groundsheet under your tent. Salmon is my FAVORITE source of protein, day in, day out. That string of lights is definitely, "GLAMPING" Answering 1,000 emails a week is commendable. I don't know how you do it. Yes, I've started enjoying your other channel, A Quiet Place, videos. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

[@scooterhughes9118]

Great video! I don't know that I would call that a tent, it looks like it's a little bit bigger than a coffin. Really small. I guess it's a good thing you're not clostrophobic ( may be spelled wrong) 😂 either way it was a great video and I enjoyed watching! Looking forward to the next one!

[@mawmawvee]

Hello, Scooter, It is spelled claustrophobic, FYI, and I"m not being critical about your spelling. Sometimes I struggle with spell-check's objection to my spelling and sometimes spell-check simply doesn't like the way something is spelled even if it's legit. Go figure... 🤣

[@spike7752]

I like your take on being prepared and being adaptable. I'd like to add to it that if you can apply that to not only outdoor life but to life in general it helps to make life more enjoyable. Thanks for the content keep up the good work.

[@richardwhipple3522]

have heard this is to be a cold snowy winter in certain states. My children live in that area and I would like to get them sleeping bags in case they lose electricity. What would be the best sleeping bag to use in case this happens to them.

[@Plumplum888]

LUKE! Firstly - I enjoy your informative and exciting content. I Love cold snowy weather! 2ndly - I love your logo of Strength and Honour. I personally would include Respect and Kindness - but you include these attributes anyway. 3rdly - I adore the way you talk about the love of your close relatives, especially your Wife. You my Man, are the very definition of a thoroughly decent bloke. You have a subscriber forever xx

[@National757]

As long as you are safely hunkered down, and dry, kind of a cool camp out! Beautiful scenery. Sights. And some thunder in the background.

[@zacharyvieck8607]

Thank you Luke. Hit me up for a New Mexico adventure. Love y'all. God bless America. God bless the East coast woodlands. God bless your adventures 🙏

[@honorharrington4546]

Luke, what do you do about drying the inside of your mattress and pillow? I know you don't want moisture inside during cooler weather. Thanks :)

[@soniayoung7531]

Hi Luke your kind of weather, the rain sounded so tranquil on the tarp, thanks for sharing stay safe

[@eugenereid7370]

During your trips during storms, have you ever had any close calls with lightning?

[@Judex-bg3gz]

I like these better than your quiet videos. I like it when you just talk about stuff.

[@penny-n-kentucky447]

Another great video!! I would love to see you review a Temu one-piece tent. They have one for $90 but I’m wondering if it’s garbage or not. 😅

[@lindawoods6841]

Luke this is so awesome, and always great ways of setting up shelters.. I love them all.. The rain is always relaxing..

[@mawmawvee]

I like to go out onto our covered patio, or our carport (preferred) and just watch the rain, drinking in the fresh scent of the rain. There is enough shelter on the carport to protect me from wind-driven rain. Because of health constraints, I cannot actually go camping as I would need to be in a cabin of some sort and now, I am on medications that prohibit me from being in the sun. I'm all right with that because I'm old (77) and I get so much satisfaction out of seeing good camping videos. Thanks for taking us with you, Luke and Susie.🥰🥰

[@Emjackson89]

Luke, I've only just recovered from the new COVID variant and I promise you, it's definitely worse than the first outbreak. I think me and my girlfriend may even be experiencing long COVID from this new variant.

[@MOTH-PREPARDNESS]

This is therapeutic my man...💪

[@joedunbarjr]

Love the overnighters. We get to see more gear that way. I know you like the foul weather, but I wonder if you chase it or if it chases you?

[@roywalls5595]

Hi Mr Luke I watching storms popping up around Portland and Wolf Mountain ⛰! I hope you doing well 🙏! ☕☕

[@benjiesmith1791]

Been watching your videos for years! Amassed how you never forget anything! I always forget something! Thanks for the content 👍

[@sparklypinkleopard26]

your videos have been a deep comfort for me lately! inspires me to camp more too ❤

[@iduswelton9567]

Nothing like a good stormy night to get some great sleep - unless its lightning a lot then ill be up watching the lightning storm 🙂

[@lindawoody8501]

Glad you relish being in the rain under tarps or cozy in your small tents. Fun to see and a vicarious camping trip. Great videos. Still loving your bumper music! Congratulations on your fitness efforts. Glad your foot is better! Hope you enjoyed FL. We lived in Central FL in a very active-minded Ages 55+ community for several years recently. Great wildlife and bird watching but no mountains (No Sasquatch either!).

[@lousadventures2111]

Thank you, Luke you always get me hype to go camping.

[@ArneMortenFond]

In Norway, this is not storm and heavy rain, but fine camping weather

[@freespirit6209]

LOL!

[@Solo_adv]

Even in America this is nothing to speak about... lol😂 Americans tend to be a little melodramatic!

[@cimmaron50]

Just a quick comment on knots, be careful how you tie off a line when it may get wet. Many fibers, particularly natural fibers ,will swell when they get wet making the knots very difficult, if not impossible to untie especially when under tension.

[@shellycorwin6320]

I love camping in the rain. It is very relaxing just listening to it even if I have a camping van.

[@kirkmcgee4783]

I hate braking down camp because that mean it over an it time to go home

[@azclaimjumper]

It never ceases to amaze me how much time it always take MEeee to break camp.

[@unclewiki]

Luke, how do you decide what gear to bring? Have you ever camped with all your favorite gear in one episode?

[@markthomas2436]

Six minutes into the video, you are making some great points. It is basically why I am totally against ultralight backpacking. By its very design, they are inviting UNPREPAREDNESS as an ultralight backpacker. They are leaving behind things that they might truly NEED... if certain unforeseen situations happen. These guys that hike into the wilderness with 15 pound backpacks are inherently UNPREPARED. Now, they might still do okay. Which is great and they can make videos of just how light their pack is. But the reality IS... that they might also end up on the news..... as a missing hiker.

[@markthomas2436]

About 21 minutes in, the use of a tarp really shows people the value. Your tent is nearby, and the tarp is a perfect shaded area of relaxation for you. I do not think tarps are EVER a replacement for a tent. I just don't see that. But Lordy how valuable they CAN be for a whole lot other things. For instance, and this might not come instinctively to some viewers;-- but withOUT that tarp? You're gonna be IN that bivy when it rains. Mighty small area, easily bored, perhaps not ready to sleep, and truly inconvenienced by the rain...maybe for HOURS. But WITH that tarp? You have another area to sit in, protected from wind and rain, and now you are totally enjoying the moment. That is what makes bringing that tarp so worth it. Also, if the storm moving in.... is really gonna be tough? Build the tent UNDER the tarp. Always an option, rarely needed; but it is sometimes needed. Goes back to preparedness. Great points you made and you are King of the Woods, dude.

[@patchoulimommy420]

If universal is a secret, doesn't suzy edit your videos lol??? Also I'll be 45 in December and my boys are 19 and 17, idk how ppl our age have babies now. But much respect to those who do.. i was done at 30!

[@terrym1065]

Thought the gear list was wrong, Winterial instead of Mountainsmith tent, no biggie. You're pretty stingy with that moisture, could send some out my way in NM as it was 90F and bone dry here. I guess you were testing the tent, no reason not to have under the tarp. Great video and filming as always, thanks for the work. See ya soon.

[@caroline5373]

Hi Luke and Susie. I was wanting to start a camping video, but not sure what kind ok camera to start with. I don’t know if the new smartphone is the way, or I do have a go-pro. I live in Colorful Colorado and I’m surrounded by beautiful scenery. What would you recommend for a beginner? Thank you and love all your helpful videos of gear review and camping. 🧡🎃

[@gemmaclark8209]

Luke I’d love to know, how many tents to you think you own by now?! Do you have an absolute favourite?

[@annenamishia9902]

I keep quiet too. I get totally involved in watching you and learning how you do things. You are so kind and thoughtful. You care about what you do and you love the heck out of it. That’s what makes you so special. You keep camping and I’ll be here to camp with you.

[@hdbinnc8583]

Great video. Been watching for awhile now and I enjoy the adventures and gear reviews. You work very hard and I appreciate all you do. I also love the fact that you’re in the NC mountains. Me too. 😊. Stay safe.

[@stephenupsher6885]

Get what you say about how the years go buy so quickly. I’m 56 and in my head I’m 40 something and still a very active outdoorsy guy , but my oldest daughter is 32 nearly . I got 5 other kids and younger one is 10 years old . Brother I been a dad a looooong time . Enjoy your videos, so keep up the great work

[@kathyclark2394]

You are terrific husband. I hope this don't air until after you take Susie on her surprise trip. Have fun.

[@regbillings4955]

Luke your getting all our rain, my lawns all brown from lack of rain here in eastern Ontario :( great video of your adventure as always :)

[@conniegheer576]

"TOGR idea of glamping"😆 My late husband had zero desire to camp with me because I sleep in a tent...on the ground lol. He once told me that his idea of roughing it was a Holiday Inn. Opposites really do attract lol

[@unicoh972]

Happy birthday to your son and yes the yes fly! My the time I was 35 I had a 19 and 18 year old and I didn’t know what to do with my life because all I knew was to raise my kids. Well I started over and now I have a 32 ,30,12 and 9 year old 😂

[@tigerlillybell75]

Great camp out. Honestly, you look a lot younger having dropped back on some of the pumping iron weight. Can't believe you are daddy to grown children!

[@chado_outdoors]

Laughing about being tired as a parent? I'm a single, full-time dad and have raised my daughter on my own since the day she was born. I was never tired. I never bitched about it. I worked, I raised my kid, and I made life fun. My daughter is my absolute best friend
