[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Thank you all for joining us! Also, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! - Luke

[@Mottmcfly]

My Father is 91 and still kicking it. He was (is) a Navy Seabee who fought in WWII. My family salutes yours in your daughter's choice of service. Thank you.

[@editingreality4779]

Awe so cool about your daughter serving. I graduated from Orlando’s basic training. Served 8 years as a dental technician. Loved every moment and proudly served over in Afghanistan and Iraq also. God bless your entire family

[@christineaparsons4751]

Thank your daughter for me for her service. I am very grateful for her. Sending lots of love and a lot of respect to her and the family for your sacrifice as well.

[@michaelhorn4540]

God bless your daughter and her service to America

[@lizcaporicci8483]

Luke, and family, please accept my heartfelt congratulations. How wonderful it feels when a child has finally made it this far. May she be a blessing to those around her.

[@sassylady2001]

Thank you for taking us along on a private family event. Congrats to your daughter. The pics of them marching in the gym took me back to when my son graduated from the Coast Guard boot camp in Cape May, N.J. I was busting my bubbles with pride at that time. He spent 11 years active duty before he got out. I took buttons from his dress uniform and made myself a bracelet and earrings. I have them to this day - 20 years later.

[@ghost762]

Congrats Madison. I my self reported to RTC Great Lakes on June 19th, 1995 and spent 15+ years as a AME on NAS Whidbey Island, Washington. Best adventure of my life.

[@garylaine5754]

I do enjoy your videos. Watching your daughter graduate from basic training took me back to October of 1961 when I graduated basic training at Great Lakes. I enjoyed a six year adventure (sometimes scary) in the Navy and the life lessons learned in those six years have served me well my entire life. Your daughter is in for a great adventure that will serve her well in her life. Semper Fortis.

[@scottdunbar4898]

Glad you two had a safe enjoyable trip. So proud of Maddie. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@1geisterfahrer]

It was cool to see the two of you passing through my old stomping grounds. I grew up in Lexington, Ky. I lived for a while in Florence Ky, and commuted to work in the northern Cincinnati area, passing daily down Death Hill and over the Brent Spence (Bent Spent) bridge into Cinci. I also lived in Louisville, Ky, but never visited or even heard of Rose Island. I now live in the northern suburbs of Detroit, and miss the rolling hills and rural atmosphere of my youth. Much love and respect to Madison. Thank you your service.

[@simonsrides7693]

I so remember our sons graduation from basic training into the UK's Royal Navy .... an awesome day. He did 9 years in the Royal Navy including active duty in Sierra Leone and is now on the Police launches escorting UK & US submarines in and out of the Clyde, Scotland. Congat's to your daughter. S

[@Airwaves-Radio]

So proud of Madison and all who serve.

[@Airwaves-Radio]

I'm from indiana originally, and I attended my sons boot camp graduation a few years ago, just like you. this video brings back so many memories and is probably my favorite episode.

[@lilbit68s41]

Congratulations TO OUR YOUNG SWEET SAILOR 🎊🎊🎊💐💐💐💐💐🤗🤗

[@JanStewart590]

Loved this video, of course I am out of sequence again watching part 2 first LOL It was so cool to meet your daughter and you both are obviously so proud of her, and what a terrific path she's making for herself! I always leave your videos with a good feeling and feel like I just visited some friends; your positive attitudes and outlook are infectious. Now I'll head over to part 1 - keep the GREAT videos coming - this is definitely one of my favorite channels!

[@robmort67]

congratulations on your graduation Maddy, brought back memories when I graduated from Police college. Proudest day of my life. Enjoy your naval career

[@Mythocentric]

As a former RN sailor (submariner) my very sincere congratulations to Maddie. You have every right to be so proud of her. She's an amazing young lady!

[@americanaxetoolco2076]

Congratulations young lady! You are about to embark on an experience of a lifetime! As a retired Marine I am truly impressed! Anchors away! 🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅

[@editingreality4779]

Have you been to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan yet ? If you haven’t you should really camp up here es right on Lake Superior the views are magestic, beautiful and the camping is easy laid back. My favorite time to camp up here is in the winter. Yes I know you might think this would be the worst time but it’s absolutely peaceful. You make it fun by having the things you need warmth and shelter. And no you do not need a hot stove. You can make one yourself with a few coffee cans. Us yoopers know a lot of ways to make camp stoves. I usually make ones out of big cans and pile up a lot of hardwood for slow burning

[@johnedwards6419]

Your Daughter is adorable and congrats to her, she is now an officially a Sailor!

[@bobmcelroy7289]

Proud of you! Congrats on her graduation! Now the fun begins.... Y'all are some of the best of parents. Glad to see they brought the old style uni's back. Thank you Mattie for your desire to stand for your country!

[@jerrodp9867]

Wow, I couldn't see anything but the love and pride you guys have for Madison. Please say thanks for her service. ATB.

[@irismurray5187]

Your daughter is just beautiful, you both have every reason to be proud of her .

[@carls1959]

Congratulations to Madison. She looks like a younger version of her mom. You and Sue look proud as peacocks, as you should. Congrats to you and your daughter. Enjoy.

[@panzerabwerkanone]

Congrats to Maddie on starting her Navy career! I started my Navy career in Pensacola. Graduated from AOCS in the Naval Air Museum there. Hope you and Ira get to visit. It is much bigger now than when I was commissioned in 1988.

[@tleon1960]

Congratulations to Sailor Madison from a USAF retiree. Great to see our young people who want to dedicate their lives in the defense of our great country.

[@NorvellDan]

Awesome! Congrats to your daughter! Thank her for her service.

[@Hogprint25]

Congratulations (belated) and thank you for your service Madison!

[@KatWoman_]

Congrats, Maddy. Thank you for deciding to serve our country. What a nice young woman you have for a daughter, Luke and Suzie. The old park was really cool.

[@MariaWelsh-lu6fg]

Wow. This was awesome. I wanted to see if there were any adventures that I hadn't watched yet and low and behold I came across this one . I have to tell you as a fellow parent I wanted to cry (I didn't lol) but I wanted to when seeing your Madison graduate. With the music in the background, it was so touching 💜👍. Good job Madison Congratulations! It is always a joy to see Luke and Susie on an adventure. I pray you guys will be one of those elderly couples you see being grandparents and maybe great grandparents still so very much in Love ,Happy, and Healthy. God bless guys 💙🤍💙🙏🏼

[@f-4phantomfixer662]

BRAVO ZULU to your daughter on successfully completing recruit training. May she enjoy a long and successful naval career. AOC Ellis US Navy retired.

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Congrats to your daughter I wish here the best. Happy Thanksgiving. Did the wife have to tap the shoulder?

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

THAT'S SO AWESOME! GOD BE WITH YOU WHERE EVER YOU ARE & GO ! BE SAFE! HAVE FUN! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! PRAYERS FOR YOUR SAFETY!

[@waynejanik9668]

Thank you for sharing. Congratulation on the graduations of your daughter. I see the graduation deck has not changed for the 70's. You have proven that Rose Island is haunted. that piece of metal was in the ground not just lending on the tree. Glad you took the expressway out of town and saw downtown Chicago. Much safer. Happy Thanksgiving and glad your travels were safe, exciting and fun. Susan could plan my trips love the unique things she found.

[@ianlandman8853]

Congrats again to Madison. You and Mom should be vey proud of your girl, I salute you Madi well done.

[@rcsmith8556]

man that brought back some memories, i walked those same floors and graduated back in 1981

[@carlmic7]

Congrats guys! I am so proud of her! My father went through the same training before I was born, I am so glad you showed it! Maddy you rock!

[@cozpeters1132]

Congrats to your daughter Madison on her boot camp graduation! I served in the Navy and had an absolute blast!

[@Righteous1ist]

Your daughter looks exactly like a mix between you and your wife

[@redsorgum]

Awesome, welcome to the military family! This Army veteran salutes you! 🇺🇸

[@patriot350]

Your daughter is a combination of her parents, but sounds like Susie! She’s stunning! Congratulations 🍾🎈🎉🎊 !

[@scott090670]

Pretty cool to see you all in our little slice of heaven. I love that trail in the Charlestown State Park, been on it a bunch of times.

[@aarondickerson1418]

Congratulations to your daughter!! And thank her for her service!! Proud parents!!

Excellent video Luke. Congrats to Madison, and thank you for your service.It was cool seeing you come to my home town Fort Wayne, IN. I'm glad you had a good time, and safe trip.

[@Hustler1856]

Me and my little girls are proud of your daughter Luke and Susie congratulations.

[@jacksonjohnson9674]

Gyawd at 2:40 that was me some thirty years ago!!! On my way to an F-14 squadron! I know it’s 2020 now but good luck to her she is awesome!

[@annieratcliff5740]

I absolutely adore your daughter. She's gorgeous and sounds just like her mom. Maggie is a SUPERSTAR. That piece of iron was saying welcome.😂 Amazing. The spirits was messing with you guys speech.😂. Thank you and sweet Susie.❤ Ms Ann

[@editingreality4779]

I remember in my company I graduated with after we went through graduation we all ate a large pizza from Pizza Hut and we devoured it. You should be very proud of your daughter, boot camp is not easy for a reason. They want the best of the best. Wondering what her rate or job was. The Navy gave me tools for my entire life God Bless

[@diannsanford5188]

Feel over with no wind? Hum. Maybe someone wanted your attention. Thank your beautiful daughter for her service!

[@annexrock]

So far I've only watched you outdoor camp videos and those are great! This was an amazing two part series!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@federico02072]

This adventure just brought back so many memories of us in our daughter she's in the Air Force she graduated out in Texas We stayed in the hotel we brought her back she had donuts lol Then we went out for a nice dinner Then we have to drop her off the next morning back to base Now she's in Spain

[@paulmilsaps4476]

Madison, Congratulations! you have my respect. You look and sound so much like your mother.

[@trinovantian1]

Great video guys.......as ever !

[@WintersKamp]

Gary is the armpit of Indiana man. I’ve been there more than I needed to be. When you see bars on windows and doors you know it’s bad news.

[@scottbowman5673]

Great vid, congrats on your daughter and her graduating from boot camp! It will be an exciting time of her life, it was mine. Looked like a fun trip, it’s always awesome to watch your vids, keep them coming.

[@12warrington]

Great video luke , all the best from the uk , whats left of it , never mind. grongrats to your daughter . Please more videos with suzi shes great the brits love her. take care.

[@rickcherry7552]

Congratulations to your daughter. Nice to see you guys in southern Indiana. Not as flat as northern half of the state. If ever passing back through the area towards the St. Louis direction, check out Hemlock Cliffs in the Hoosier National Forest. Very short loop trail worth checking out.

[@ajtaylor560]

Really a great trip. Wooo that's the first time I met Maddie and my goodness she's a little Suzy! Amazing likeness!! Good job on the march past everyone looked just great! You guys are the best travelling up to be with her on her big day! Made me think about when I went in! Said goodbye to my family and didn't see them for 4 years!! Mostly my fault, I was having too good a time to waste my time going home to were I didn't ! Rose Island was very cool!! Wonder what they did to prevent it from happening again? Stay safe drive safe!!

[@t2mrhdhindi384]

Always good to see you both together. Always a pleasure to see you guys complement each other.. You guys are such an inspiration.. Always wishing the best for you guys :) Love from a long time viewer :)

[@Steve_Farwalker]

Aye, there's a fine lass. A fine lass indeed. May the wind fill her sails, the currents steer her true and plenty of tall tales with good company and cold brew. Aye.

[@PGcutty]

Good job to you two! Raising great kids right. Your daughter rocks. 🎸

[@michaelballard7323]

The best part about boot camp was leaving it! LOL Congratulations, Maddie!

[@heathen-greaser]

Congratulations to your daughter, I wish her all the very best x

[@jimmyblair19]

Very cool to see you guys drive through my hometown (Louisville Ky) Congratulations Madison 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@jpitcher332]

Jimmy Blair I live in Louisville too.. I thought seeing him drive through was super cool, too!

[@andrewkarppinen4348]

Congrats! Thank you Madison for your service.

[@jdcpac]

Congratulations Madison, Thank you for your service. We are all very proud of you for your accomplishments.

[@beartrackwoods4720]

Hi Luke and Susie! Congratulations on Madison enlistment. Well done Madison? Oorah!

[@jeantetreault132]

Congratulations to you, Madison. You look so much like your father, with your haïr and your uniform on. I guess you'll be going as a Corporal or a sargeant, later on. Lol! It reminds me of so many souvenirs as i look back during my youth, when i graduated as a sailor, for the Royal Canadian Military Cadets, in 1981. Good luck to you. Strength and honor! Johnny, Montréal Canada

[@phillipnunya6793]

Everyone coming to visit their son or daughter is happy as hell, but pretty much everyone in that formation is just hoping their RDCs did not notice that once thing they did wrong. That base looks waaaaay different than I remember it. I was plowing through a foot or two of snow and could barely see anything most of the time. I remember just being happy to sit down for a while after it was all over with.

[@footpathjunkies1051]

Enjoy all your videos Luke...extra thanks for sharing your family stuff, your daughter is awesome...we hike in GSMNP quite often....would love to see you do an adventure there...👍👍👍👍👍

[@dixiefriggle3093]

I have lived in Indiana for most of my life and never even heard of this place thank you for letting me know about it

[@clarencemoody4307]

Congrats on the beautiful sailor, you guy's obviously did a good job.

[@gregoryhare7268]

Luke that adventure was really nice and my two thumbs up to your dater and i can say you are very proud of her. Just like my step son he's been in the Marine for three year's now and I'm so proud of him and Strength and Honor to you your family and friends. Be cool and peace.

[@LowPlainsDrifter60]

Man, the grad ceremony was sooo American LOL, congrats to Maddie, you must be very proud parents. It's kinda weird though, Madison has exactly the same voice & intonations as mom & if you just listen to the vid without watching, it's difficult to tell which of the two, is talking. Ha !

[@gacifres1]

Congratulations to Maddie! I always enjoy your videos and especially enjoyed seeing you in my home town of Charlestown and seeing Rose Island again!

[@maryhaygood5702]

So glad you enjoyed our beautiful State INDIANA!! ❤

[@neo57611]

Wish you the best Madison soldier on! AIT next, get it all behind you. Always think about the future! Your Dad's very proud I can see that and Mom.

[@kevincorgel3384]

Congrats to maddy! Cool trip you two ,loved it!

[@Eammon1066]

Luke as always enjoyed the videos, and to Madison congratulations May you always have fair winds and flowing seas.

[@noybnoygdb1022]

Congratulations! Proud for y'all!

[@chrislang8553]

Great video. With you visiting Rose Island, it kind of made me think that maybe a video of you hiking around Grandfather Mountain. I think the people not local to us would enjoy seeing Grandfather Mountain.

[@editingreality4779]

She was either the guide on barrier or the recruit chief petty officer. Way to go. This isn’t an easy job I know !!

[@GruntProof]

Congrats and welcome to a tiny percentage of badasses!

[@wade61265]

Concrats to your daughter I went thru great lakes boot camp in 1983. I live 2 and a half hours away from Chicago and go up there 1 time a year for a day...I am use to the traffic and stuff and end up taking friends and family up there to sight see. I agree with you the place sucks.. If you took us 30 into Illinois you could have seen Chicago heights, bars on the churches a big shit hole...have a great day.

[@roelfindoors6767]

Way to go Madison. As the son of a rear admiral, I am amazingly proud of you

[@sandysanders2132]

Congratulations you guys. I have a son in the Navy. Stationed in Groton, Connecticut. On the Indiana sub.

[@sue08401]

Y'all forgot to mention that at every exit in Indiana there was one sign saying church here and another saying adult books on the other side. It was hilarious.

[@donshrimper4359]

wow part 2 is worth the wait,thanks 4 the great vid

[@kipviteo2274]

Totally awesome!! Thank you for serving Madison!

[@moehumphreys9734]

[@justsugarsweet]

Every time anyone’s kids graduate I’m a blubbering mess! So embarrassing when my son graduated! 🤣

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

If that piece of metal rose back up to lean against the tree again, THEN you could say it was haunted. Otherwise, I'd say the wind finally won and pushed it over.
