Taking Shelter - Storm Camping With Budget Gear - Overnight Lightning, Rain and Fog Adventure

[@djtruckieplaylist6820]

By far, I am not a camper anymore. Last time I went tent camping, I think I was 16 years old! I am now in my late 50s and stuck in a wheelchair. Watching your videos, I imagine my self, where you are...experiencing what you experience. Brings back wonderful memories! Thank you :)

I don't know if you realise the sheer standard of journalism you bring to the table here. You have a sense of integrity that is getting increasingly difficult to come by in this day and age. When it comes to the "reviewing stuff" sphere of things I consider you the gold standard when it comes to credibility and independence from financial pressures. You manage to do this while also making some of the most beautiful, relaxing, educational and all-around wholesome videos I have seen. Keep up the good work!! (PS: You should check out a Finnish youtuber called Ali Leinio, I am sure you will absolutely adore him if you don't know about him already.

10 minutes in and the first cup of coffee. Very good

[@JayDouglas01]

I worked in production out of college, and all I can think is: set up the shot, start the camera, run back on the the trail, walk past the camera, walk back to the camera and retrieve it. Walk on and repeat. Hats off, man - that is so much thought and work and energy into creating a great final product.

[@punchfisttop]

yer vids become more increasingly beautifully shot as if we are there with you... That is greatly appreciated my friend!!!

[@caidanrippon6732]

[@TexasRoast]

Storm camping is honestly the best kind of camping in my opinion. So long as it rains overnight anyways.

[@theotherdave8013]

man i love this channel. Honest reviews, common sense, good humor and yes...thunderstorms.

[@joycedellinger2528]

In my opinion, you can't have a camping trip without a thunderstorm. I enjoy your videos.

[@markwagoner3599]

64 years old I certainly live vicariously through your videos.

[@getyourfitonproductions]

Love the quote at the very beginning of the video...I have always told my kids that one of the best sounds is to lay inside a tent and listen to the rain hit the tent.

[@Kreedogger]

My Dad told me about your channel over a year ago. I've Been here ever since. Your videos are KZbin gold TOGR! Happy Father Day Weekend to all.

[@fairwind3111]

I don’t even know why, but I think this is my favorite video and I’m only half way through!

[@audreybronson2710]

I am new to the channel, and the thing I like about the videos are that Luke makes you feel like you are right there camping with him. I can watch for hours. I get my 15 seconds or 20 seconds of Zen, when he shows the views or listens to the rain on the tent. Great work Luke, wish I knew you in person. What a great friend you must be.

[@er5406]

That smoke bug repellent reminds me of my childhood. Used to be drive-in theaters would sell those in a spiral shape with a little metal stand. You would light it up, put it on the dashboard, and be able to enjoy the movie with the windows rolled down. At that time I lived across the river from New Orleans.

[@Golddragon214]

Camping like this is what I really love. Just a short hike, set up and enjoy. The rain is a bonus. Thanks for sharing this trip with us.

[@jamesb1635]

So nice for Seniors and anyone who loves and misses the great outdoors

[@terryrogers1025]

“ is that rumble I’m hearing thunder?” Then comes the smile that says sweet. Good review, thanks for the walk along.

[@gerrys798]

That forest looks so peaceful, away from the hassle and bustle of human life. Great for mind and body

[@nmbarngoddess5868]

Ur vids allow me to imagine myself there camping and enjoying the beauty that nature offers. I’m in New Mexico and as a firefighter my family and friends don’t get to camp with the wildfires we have this year. So thank u for reminding me the beauty of nature and the fun it can be.

[@lggb3588]

I think rain videos is the best. Fire is great when camping but.. rain is amazing. My best wishes

[@chalion8399]

Thanks for making this part of your life. Making camping videos, gear reviews and testing videos, you're all around a super youtube video content creator and we're better off for it.

[@visnuexe]

Yay! Less expensive but serviceable gear! Right up my alley! Sure, I'd love to get gear I could use for a generation. Nothing better than tried and true gear. I stumbled upon a little 2 man tent at an army surplus store that I got for 30 bucks. I've used it for at least 15 years until the poles broke. I bought repair poles, but never fixed it. I still have the little blighter! It got me through a tornado touch down near my tent, and some high winds during winter that bent the tent down almost to the ground. Small is strong!

[@sreejithks9250]

Dear Luke, I bought the bag after seeing your review. Its amazing and I have already put it through lots of treks. Its mindblowing how much things I can put inside it and still not worry about those zippers. Best budget friendly bag. Thank you Luke.

[@alexanderweaver7066]

The advice on gear selection was excellent and would behoove newcomers to listen and practice it. I loved this adventure and appreciate all you and Susie do for the outdoors community. I remember when Walmart stocked Lithic gear and that it did not last and recall Lithic items being returned to Customer Service. I would chuckle and think, yeah, Luke was right. Five hundred bucks is a helluva bargain for quality gear.

[@bighoss7603]

Tasters nasty should really be a sponsor for your channel Luke. Also keep up the great work. Thank you for all you do.

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

My first stove was a cheap one, but I saved up for my PocketRocket 2 & I’m now satisfied for the value of my stove. I saved up for my Outdoor Vitals -15°F bag and now I’m saving for my shelter. It is true about saving your money and getting value. I like the philosophy of “buy once, cry once!”

[@Tom-tt1vg]

Luke I have been a subscriber for over 6 or so years and probably your the first I have discovered. Thank you buddy. I really enjoy your camping ing hiking trips also thank you Susan for coming along these awesome trips. Lone wolf shout out to you all.

[@missedmurphy]

Great video as always, Luke. Your adventures are even better when it rains. Thank you

[@charleschrismon9482]

I just wanted to say one thing to you: I watch alot of camping videos and the one thing thats different about you and them is the lack of arrogance. I appreciate that alot. I'm disabled so I can't help you with donations and stuff but I enjoy watching your videos alot. I wish there was a way I could help you. God bless you and have a fantastic day, Sir. Thank you for what you do and for maintaining a decent attitude.

[@glenystranter6423]

Hi Luke. Thanks for doing a lot of videos with good quality budget gear, because a lot of people can't afford the higher-priced stuff.

[@terrym1065]

Cool little trip Luke👍 Nice products used in this video, they all worked good. My tent would've been under the tarp, different strokes for different folks. Love me some mountains showers, fresh air and nature. Great filming, thanks for bringing us along. See ya next week! Enjoy!

Glad you said don't drink water coming off tent or tarp. Many people do not know it is harmful for us. Thanks for you videos and reviews!

[@lesleyclark3162]

Luke, I discovered your channel, about a week or so again, and to say I'm addicted is an understatement, I'm a 68 y/o young at heart, but can't imagine doing what you do. You could say I am living vicariously through your adventures. It warms my heart to see the love and journeys you and Susie do together. I get exhausted walking the dogs, lol, I cannot imagine hiking some of those mountains. I love the storms and snow adventures. after living in Minnesota for 35 years, I appreciate the cold and weathers unpredictable nature. my philosophy is you can always get warm, but you can only get SO naked, legally! Ha Ha give me cool temps and light breezes. Such a huge fan now and am going back to watch all your videos. Your a true outdoorsman and your appreciation and respect for nature is inspiring, Hugs from Iowa my "new friends", safe travels! cheers from a fellow coffee lover!

[@drc1883]

You gave this young man some real good advise.

[@heathereusden3029]

You really capture the weather and location beautifully:) Excellent advice about gear. You thank your viewers, but we thank you for the excellent quality of your videos, your integrity and honesty.

[@carolyngreen1673]

I'm 64 and have been camping all around country since I was 16. Your right all you need is not overly expensive gear and you've got yourself a great time. My problem is were I live camp sites are getting crazy expensive. expensive.

[@caryboozer6734]

You Luke, are a movie star, or at least a celebrity, your videos amaze me, thank you and God bless you and your family

[@Houseofden]

Bibimbap is kind of a savory leftovers dish. Bowl of rice mixed with whatever proteins and vegetables you have. Add sesame oil, soy sauce and gochuchang and you’re in business. You can also make specific types without the leftovers. The red spicy sauce is gochuchang, a fermented red pepper. Your local Target and Walmart should carry it.

[@JB50713]

Beautiful videography Luke! I love the way you capture everything from lighting a stove to rain caught on the tree branches.

[@nancyhines5942]

I started out with all Walmart stuff when I got into it in 2013.

[@kathynichols6602]

My parents and I went on a hike when I was a kid and a thunderstorm moved in quickly and a tree close to us was struck by lightning and my ears would not stop ringing for like 2 hours. It really scared me as I was afraid I lost my hearing. I’m could not hear my parents talking to me. So I would be a little freaked out to be in the woods with a thunderstorm. Glad you recorded it. I love the sound of the rain 😊. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge on your gear.

[@tomjellifer4140]

I have been watching your shows for a long time and used to camp, but the years have caught up with me. I would suggest a show or a segment on sanitary arrangements basically for the new campers. Where to set up your dumpsite, how to set it up, and how to leave it. what kind of toilet paper to buy and other little things that no one ever talks about. I'm sure you know exactly what I mean. Thanks again for rolling back the years.

[@janetburrows137]

You seem too be having thunder storm after thunderstorm!!!!!! ❤️🙏💕🥰👍

[@AG-pm3tc]

I appreciate the shot you gave us compering what you see and the brightness of the camera. Thanks, a great video as always.

Started watchin' ypur channel a month ago and to say the least I love it and your personality. "Cheers my friend, cheers" I started my YouTuve channel as a professional eater eatin' up to 12lb pizzas and burgers myself for challenges. My new challenges are what I call survival series. I already completed my first series last month and will do the next startin' Summer's Eve (Monday 20th, day before summer, yeah I like to joke a lot too). I will be goin'on my forst backpackin' hike 32miles at the Noxubee Trail in Ackerman MS. In the Tombigbee National Forest. 100-102 degrees everday and will be there 4 days. I am glad I fou d ypur cha nel to watch all the reviews you do as well as your videos for tips as well. Tha ks my friend, thanks. My sayin' is "Have a gr8 day unless you made other plans"

Love these “budget” gear videos. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I asked for them :) not sure you saw them, but I sure do appreciate them. I also was happy to see you using the Forclaz pack. I bought it because of your review video a while back.

I think your a rain magnet Another great watch thanks man

[@vickiehamilton6596]

Love you videos got my husband hooked on them too he loves the sound of rain on tarps and tents

[@TraitofSiNN727]

2 things I had useful for being stuck in the rain was my army ground sheet and army poncho.

[@darlenekozlovskis6907]

My husband said in the field all they had was a poncho liner? He was with the 101st. I can't imagine lying on the ground with nothing to cover or protect you.

Hello, Great video and the ambiance of sorroundings seems to bring peace. That's why I myself really love nature and embrace its beauty!!! Keep safe always!!! Greetings from Philippines

[@mzinns]

Nice vid Luke. Im wondering if you could highlight food and drink that is not individually wrapped in plastic. When I camp, I use re-usable containers and bags. I realize you are trying food that people send you, but before all this individual wrapped portions were the norm, we used to pack our food and coffee ourselves. Thanks for considering this idea.

[@thomasfletcher4765]

There's been some videos where he's brought food to cook while on trips ( not a lot , but some )

[@jimdubois445]

My Lafuma 40 is probably 15 years old and it’s my favorite warm weather bag!

[@cherylkilbourn3773]

Hi Luke. Hope your family is doing well! I have a question and I'm just going to ask it. Have you ever heard anything strange, something you didn't recognize? I've heard so much about the forests on the Appalachian trail and was just curious if you guys ever had any experiences. Your videos are so interesting, especially when your family gets to join you. Thanks so much for these. We kind of live vicariously through you. Stay safe and keep on keeping on!

[@FrednDeeDee]

I carry a hot Thermos of coffee (4 cups) with me when camping to start things off. Yes, I'm a coffee achiever, and giving a cup of coffee to a newfound friend along the trail is akin to offering gold. Once a fellow traded me a bunch of venison jerky for a cup of hot coffee. I always pack extra instant coffee for such occasions. Hot coffee on a rainy day does wonders to keep warm inside and the damp feeling at bay. Buy budget but do not buy cheap.

[@mariaotero5601]

[@billcampbell1627]

I was steered away from isobutane stoves. We always used liquid fuel and the stoves of choice were multi fuel. We usually had an aircraft nearby, or a vehicle. Or the enemy had an aircraft or a vehicle we could borrow from. They are heavier, but they work when it real cold and at high altitude. The stove of choice was MSR multi fuel. Was noisy but it worked. I'm in the process of converting my mind to butane. The gear is easier to change than your mind. Nice video. Thanks

[@margaretwaters7715]

I love the truth about things you have tried. I don't have money to waste. Thanks ;)

[@crrristos1313]

Totally agree with you as far as not settling for sub par equipment. Take baby steps get good quality items that do what you need them to do. It took me quite a while to build my kit.

[@hochhaul]

14:10 - It's a life lesson nearly everyone learns at some point. Delayed gratification is a tough one. The reason the cheap knock-off products exist is to fool people into thinking they can get the same value and experience at a fraction of the price when it's impossible to because products that are made right cost what they cost. People do it constantly when it comes to things like boots. They buy cheap boots that fall apart after a year or two. Sure they were half the price of the quality-made goodyear welted boots that be resoled over and over, but the public have settled for buying $100 boots over and over again, suffering through the break-in period each and every time. Quality clothing, quality tools, quality tents,... "buy once cry once".

Never heard of a sweat bee until a few years back. I got stung by one and had an allergic reaction for several days my hand swelled up and could not use my fingers. Sweat bee are no joke!

[@visnuexe]

They truely love yo get down your shirt to find the tender out part to bite too. It usually happens to me when bathed in sweat while working vigorously in the yard. I see them all the time chasing each other, and eating white flies. They actually help to keep bad bugs away, but they tax you too!

I Hulk smashed that like button. Awsome video my friend. I cant afford 400 dollar tents so these budget videos realy help. I was one of the people who kept bugging you to do a review on the Coleman tent. It did good no leakage 👍🏻🤣. I was hoping you would do a rainy camping trip in it. I guess I have a warm spot for Coleman. It's what we used when I was a kid . Coleman tent, stove and lantern. Our tent was canvas. I guess that means I'm old 🤣🤣🤣
