A couple of years ago we went skiing in the austrian alps. We took of at 21.00pm and drove all night. Somewhere halfway the temperature started to drop and at some point it was -12°C. The further we drove the colder it became. When we crossed the border between Germany and Austria we stopped in Reutte at a local gasstation to check our windscreen antifreeze because it was frozen from the wind and cold air. So after a nightly 800km ride without sleep in a warm car and dirty windscreen from the salt i went out the car to wipeclean the frontscreen. At that moment it was -23°C and i realy thought i was going to freeze instantly. The day after it was even colder and the locals advised us not to go skiing because we are not used to such freezing temperatures. It could damage our lungs at 1060m altitude. I'm 52 and will never forget this unique moment. It is a once in a lifetime experience.

Congratulations, Lucas! Regardless of whether it leads to a career, I think you made a wise decision. It’s a very good thing to expand your mind and experiences. You will meet students from all over the country and the world, which will broaden your views considerably. You will learn not only facts and how to do things, but you will also learn the why of things, which can be very enlightening. I hope you make the most of your college experience. Good luck!

For anyone whose never had Jimmy Johns, when he says packed full of salt, that's incredibly true. Even for fast made cold cut subs they're *super* salty. One every now and again isn't that bad but definitely not a daily food.

[@goldrace10]

Best hour I have spent on KZbin in a long time !

[@ledicarusmedia]

The storm you experienced is exactly the typical storm we get here in SW Ontario through January then again in March/early April. High winds and tiny snowflakes, switching to white-out flurries. Then freezing rain/sleet, changing to heavy snow. Then a deceptive clear weather day. You drive out on the snow, which is hopefully thick enough to cover the ice layer, it's slushy going (especially on the shoulders) until you get out in the open spaces where the snow that fell is now gusting around creating brief whiteout sections. When you said you took off your windshield cover I literally said "Noooo! don't do that!" at the screen, I knew the freezing rain/sleet was on its way.

[@twiztedclown]

Have you motored since they stopped using salt and switched to sand it just makes the pothole filled ice rinks worse

[@ledicarusmedia]

@@twiztedclown at least our county typically uses sand/salt mixture unless it's not the right conditions then they rely on sand but we get a lot of ice here next to the lake so it's usually the mix.

That woman you mentioned checking your truck with her light might have been a theft opportunist. As someone who works night jobs, I've seen a lot of folks get their vehicles broken into in remote areas because a thief saw them un-occupied and unobserved. She probably got close enough to see or hear you and decided there wasn't a chance for a quick grab.

[@terriemartinez9989]

She also might have been checking to make sure no one od'.

[@lightwalker4558]

On a related matter, I was worried the person in the truck might break in while you were out. I see the truck was moved later on, so they must have given up on that. Another good reason to carry! Be safe than sorry!

I bought an electric power pack generator for 125. I believe it's 400watts. I also bought the micro heater The Bud I think it's called I love both. The low setting on the heater is 175 watts, so it's good, high is 225 watts I think. I bought all this gear, Luke, I'll blame you, lol. I want to waterproof the fly on one of my tents, with a gallon of mineral spirits with dissolved clear silicon one tube. People are a ravin, so will try that. If it does well, I'll make a few tarps.

Ya know, I live in south Florida after growing up in Northern Illinois. At least during a hurricane I am warm. I have vivid memories of the blowing biting wind and slogging through drifts. You can’t imagine how entertaining your winter camping series are. THANK YOU! You are giving me all the winter I need, and testing out products to boot. BTW, based on your test results, I bought a pair of the shell gloves for riding my motorcycle in the rain while touring in the fall. Thanks, and keep up the good reports!!

I can hardly imagine it. I come to the keys 1-2 times a year. I think that's close to south Florida (I love that the Denny's in Largo has a bar!) That said, the only times that I was there that had anything to do with any storm was something akin to "probably a bad idea to go on the water today....: (Of course, while at least one waterspout was visible). God, I love the Keys. You guys are so cool.

When we were living in central Illinois, on Christmas Day in 1983, the temperature was -35 F with a -58 F wind chill. Snow up to the gutters. My driveway was about 15 feet by 20 feet, and I spent approximately 8 hours shoveling my way out so I could get to work the next day. We now are retired and living in Florida. Occasionally, around Christmas time someone will ask me if I miss having a “White Christmas”. My response is always the same. “If I never see snow again, it will be too soon”.

Trick we were taught in the marines…. Your body heat will keep you warmer in your sleeping bag the less clothes you keep on inside it. It radiates off the bag itself onto your skin directly while it dissipates before reaching your body again while fully clothed. We’d be in underwear only in single digit temps. We were some crayon eaters though so do you brother. Lol Keep up the great content Luke and Susie, absolutely love the channel.

Great video, but as a survival instructor I would not recommend leaving your vehicle without at least the basic gear regardless of how much experience you have or how short of a distance it was away from your vehicle, with how bad that wind was and with that snow it could have turned into a complete whiteout and you could have lost your bearings and that is never good

Drinks? If i drink a soda it’s Sprite. It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made in my life, and I’m blessed I broke free of it.

[@Pooch1953]

As always a great video, but this one really brought back some memories, not freezing cold camping, not outdoor adventures, but the Brussels sprouts story. Like you, I hate them, have since I was a kid, but your story was similar to mine. One Christmas when I was about 9 years old we had dinner and darned if there weren't Brussels sprouts on the plate, I gag at the smell let alone eating them. I couldn't do it, I tried just because my Dad told me if I didn't I would set there until I did, no playing with my toys, nothing. Everyone finished eating, I was still setting there, my brothers were all playing, I was still setting there, dishes were all most done and I was still setting there. It was agony, but I would not and could not stomach them, and even if I would have tried then, they were ice balls they were so cold, so had to be even worse. I could hear my brothers having fun, they were even playing with some of my toys as I could see from where I sat into the living room, and when I complained I was told I could be playing with them if I ate my Brussels sprouts...couldn't do it. Around 9 o'clock it was close to bedtime and I was still at the table when my grandmother, bless her soul, came out and took me by the shoulder over to the garbage can and told me to scrape the plate off. Then she said to to go play for the little time left before bed. When I went into the living room my Dad stopped me and asked if I ate my Brussels sprouts, what should I say, grandma told me to come in and play, but before I had a chance to fess up and tell him what happened, my blessed grandmother stepped into the room and as straight faced as I have ever seen anyone, said, "He cleaned his plate up". Nothing else, never said I ate them, and didn't lie, clean your plate always had meant eat everything. What could my Dad say, he couldn't question his mother, her word was gold, so I played for a half hour before bed. Years later after I was fully grown and my grandmother had passed away, we were all having a family dinner and old times were talked about and my Dad said something about Brussels sprouts and of course I said I hated them. My Dad laughed a little and said he remembered a Christmas when I was little where I was so stubborn I wouldn't eat them even to be able to play with my toys. I told him I had a confession to make, and told him what grandma did, he said he knew later but couldn't say anything, it was his mother and he would never disrespect her, but he checked the garbage and saw the Brussels sprouts. To this day I can't stand the smell of them or eat them and I am going to be 69 years old in a few days. Funny how old memories can be rekindled, hadn't thought about that in years. As Bob Hope used to sing, thanks for the memories, even bad ones can been good looking back. Sorry this is so long, but no way to tell it without being that way. Thanks for another great video.

I believe a backup of some sort would be wise. In this case, boiling water on the cap stove could be an emergency heater, but be careful. Also starting the truck and opening the cab window between the front and camper while blasting the cab heater could help. I was stuck on Donner pass in a horrible Blizzard and thankfully the cab heater stayed warm and I did remember to keep the fuel tank of the truck full. Glad you made it out safe.

Someone probably already said that you should invest in a propane filter is you use a propane bottle bigger than a one pound bottle can get them on Amazon around 10.00 to 20.00 lasting about 4 20 pound propane tanks it filters out particles and dirt in gas so your buddy heater will work better and when you need it

[@glendacrouch1877]

Off to try & bring your Buddy back, or find his brother! LoL enjoyed the snow storm truck adventure. Prayers for your friends family and others dealing with these types of life situations. God’s speed Luke. Congratulations to your son.

[@kathybrown6842]

That was a sweet passage to recite for Joe's family. It is so true. Congratulations to Luke on this great life journey he's about to take.

[@MusicUniverseGermany]

Good on Lucas. I am cheering on for the success! Tho it is still a whole 'nother world for me hearing things like "going into debt for college". The educational systems across the world are so vastly different, it is insane. I've never had to go into debt for college. Maybe i would have if i would have had the chance to attend any specialized or famous private college or university - but i did not. I surely paid my funds for every semester, but it is not all that much. Good luck for his journey and all his new experiences and all the knowledge he will gain!

[@larrymaxwell5535]

I was in my house the whole time while watching you and although in a warm house I felt cold just watching you in those freezing temps!!! 🤣

Brussel Sprouts, cut them in half, olive oil brush, salt pepper then broil them to a slight char. or grill them. My buddy heater quit after 6 years of moderate use..$99 bucks on Amazon for a new one. Awesome job..as always I learn a little bit from your content.

[@murphtahoe1]

His videos are very entertaining. Makes me feel good every time I watch one.

[@josephortiz4826]

Congrats to Lucas 💪👍👊

[@rickwright7267]

One whipper of a storm there, pretty gnarly heh-- and congrats to your boy! It's a big step but exciting, i'm sure he'll do well. Strength and Honor!

Camping trips are fun,. I enjoyed this Vid......When I was about 14 & a group of us hiked about 2miles outta town into the woods & set up my first winter camp,....lasted about 5 days over Xmas holiday......we were in cheap nylon tents....yes a bit of as disaster, but was fun non the less.....the mound of ash we left burried the 4' camp fire circle.... Next winter adventure I was about 20-21...in the dead of winter about ten miles out of town by truck then packed in gear about 100 yards by sled. We constructed a shelter from 2 political signs kinda like a saw horse & a carpet...with a kerosene heater,.. Worked real good too....temp dropped so low that night the creek top we camper near froze over.....spent about 5 days on that......I used to go fishing in central & NE Pennsylvania,....slept in the trunk of my 63 Nova ragtop ....another time we tied down a few treetops as a leantoo....had the kerosene heater beside the BIGGEST trout hole I ever did find....you could have lost a 18 Wheeler in this thing....that morning my brother produced a 18" native trout from that spot....he had pink meat like a salmon.....then there was the ...what I call Louise & Clark trip......drove to a lake 10 miles from nothin deep into the Poconos,....then rafted supplies to a sweet camp spot on the lake...3 days....What a beautiful spot that was,.... echoes bounced 5-6 times down the valley....was mind boggling....then the weekly trips to the Glenn Onoko falls at Lehigh Gorge...very cool hike....but it's been closed a few years back cuz it's a dangerous hike...too many people disrespect it (die or get hurt bad).....Enjoy your youth...keep man in video.

[@heathereusden3029]

Incredible storm. Very interesting video. A big congratulations to your son for all of his hard work, hope he gets into his first choice!:). Lovely quote you recited, I hope it brings comfort to the family.

[@terrym1065]

Luke👍👍 Another great video adventure even if you couldn't really do anything but hunker down, eat, share stories and time. Yeah that wind sucked, the one thing that can ruin an otherwise half way fun time is the wind. Too bad about the Mr Heater "Buddy", they are notorious for plugging up the inlet tube if no filter is used. Congrats to Lucas on a major decision, much success to him on his journey. Nicely done and presented, thanks. Take care, good health. See ya next time. Enjoy!

[@nwcEVO]

Easy to see you're proud of your boy. Thats cool man, good luck to him.

[@sovereignlivingsoul]

i was standing in a storm of a similar nature in winnipeg around 1993 looking through a tunnel, my parka had a tunnel hood in a safeway parking lot and i thought, what am i doing here, and i couldn't answer my own question, so i moved back to british columbia the next year, and now i want to fit my truck so i can go into the mountains, funny how things turn around.

[@Heyjonjohnson]

That weather reminds me of being in Cantwell Alaska when I was a kid, out camping in the winter with my dad and younger brother. So freakin windy and cold.

[@spenserwilliams9167]

That looks like maple sugar equipment, probly sugar maple trees. They tap the trees and the sap collects in the tank to be collected and boiled into suryp in another place.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 Luke, greetings from Northern California. Great video my friend. You set a fine example of stamina and endurance. All the best to you and Susie. Stay safe out there. 🤗

[@dawnmancell2330]

Do you know when you are driving down the road and you are hungry you can put your food on your engine when you're driving down the road if you're driving across the country like 10,000 miles or so it's pretty cotton-picking good and it will save you time if you don't have enough money in your back pocket but as I see you are doing a very good job but I thought I'd share this with you maybe you don't know it but maybe you do it's just a suggestion I'm 68 year's old now

[@huseyinakgul4303]

The blizard was magnificent. Thank you

[@jeromeknasinski3862]

Great Video... I love driving in storms.

[@ncdean62]

I really enjoyed this video Luke. I watched your channel years ago but lost track. I've recently rediscovered it and have been binge watching. Love your unbiased reviews on camping gear.

[@RatelLaw]

Thank you for sharing

[@missedmurphy]

Always love these truck camping adventures. Even more so when it's snowing out. Thank you as always Luke

[@patwilliams9283]

Lived in Oregon, had snow tires or chains. Why not have them?

[@bikerman54]

Hey Luke, Looks like you were close to calling Matts towing.! Great camping video...

[@ldn0224]

Would have been nice to see how a four season tent held up in this storm.

[@FondelMikeRotch]

You gotta get serious and put up a wall tent. Lightweights like folding up in strong wind, which can be deadly with wood stove. Really amused by this video, being from Northern Ontario Canada. We just went through many days of -40 and -35s. Camping out can be quickly deadly here if you dont know what u are doing. Snow up to my waist now as well, making wood harvesting very difficult.

[@lucybrockmann-davis5611]

Thanks!

[@lindawoods6841]

Wow! What a great adventure with the truck! I can hear that wind whipping! That is neat they collect sugar water from the trees, what a find! congrats to Lucas, college is such an awesome decision. so sorry about Joe,, prayers for the family. A very touching passage thank you for sharing...

[@TheBrytstarr]

My first time here; very entertaining! Will drop in again.

[@joshuastanden]

Nothing like the weather turning an outdoor KZbin channel into a cooking KZbin channel. Love it!

[@Red-bf8jd]

Well it looks like to me! You might have Discover a moonshine still! Lol

[@kathybrandt6060]

Hello Luke, congratulations on your son going to college. Have you thought about starting a go fund me page, to help with his college expenses. Just a suggestion. I was hoping you would make a video about Izzy. Where I live it was much colder, but less wind. We only got about 8 inches of snow. But the nice thing about it was it was powder. We usually get big heavy wet snow. So no snowball fights but the neighbors dogs loved it.

[@jeffytanner4650]

Wish I was there too, for real!

[@catlover0160]

Hi, I am from the UK, I have no idea what biscuits and gravy are but I must admit it doesn’t look good 🤣… quite a lot of what you eat I have never heard of!! … but, I really enjoy your videos 👍🇬🇬

[@lawrencehubbard2985]

A good motto one is none two is one. If I are good truck camping and weight is not factor then double the food double the water double your sleeping system two stoves and two heaters.

[@TheIllestKilla]

Lol where i live in Northern Ontario it gets to -45 quite frequently in the winter. We don't live in the mountains
