New subscriber and love your videos man!! Greetings from Austria!!

[@azclaimjumper]

Welcome, from Reno, Nevada

[@ginaleefarber2422]

Welcome. and enjoy.

[@Motorep146]

Welcome. I’m missing my annual trip to Austria this summer due to COVID-19. Super bummed I won’t be hiking or biking the Alps this summer.

[@LostManFishing]

@@Motorep146 Many thanks! That is also the case for us, the annual trip to the States, to Colorado... Cancelled as well 😞...

[@foxcm2000]

Greetings from Indiana and if you'll pardon my horrible German: Ich habe Österreich besucht. Riesige und wunderschönen Berge!

[@kosys5338]

Just wanted to drop a line and thank Madison for her service. I also want to wish her good luck with quitting smoking, it wasn't easy for me to quit either. Thanx again Madison for your service.

[@troyfeldbauer6105]

Congratulations on raising a child that decided to go into the military to protect our country! My son is in his 5th year in the marine corps and I'm very proud of him! Thanks for the great videos!

[@KimberlyGreen]

Had to take that $20. Leave No Trace. Can't have "litter" on the trail 😉

[@michaelzimmerman8959]

[@douglasreeves9938]

I watch alot of political and economic KZbin channels and I come to yours to lower my heart rate and blood pressure. Thanks for what you do.

[@DougRowan_photography]

I hammock camped Monday night. Went to my favorite small lake, fished, cooked lunch, fished, cooked dinner, took a nap, fished some more, and was thinking about going home for the night, I laid down in the hammock for another few minutes to relax and ended up waking up at 2am having to pee lol, so I decided to stay :)

[@fatzmalone5705]

Ok. this was amazing. The realism comes out during an amazing conversation.. Props.. Keep it real. Also... i salute your daughter for being an amazing human being and know that she set a plan and is following through. Much love from NY

[@karlgraf2447]

It was cool to hear Madison’s voice. I’m glad she enjoys the navy.i hope she stays safe during her deployment 🙏

[@joannconfer1144]

Oh wow Luke, I love that set up. The sky is beautiful and the dog is an extra bonus. I’m glad I came along. Thanks

[@kathywinner1959]

I really do enjoy your videos. I've watched others but you have a way of keeping my interest. Love how you explain what your doing and why. I'm 64 and my health will not let me do what you do. But i am planning on a back yard camp adventure and then maybe farther into the woods. Keep up the great videos

[@jackiemuir4160]

Aw perfect sound effects. The breeze pushing the flames around, the crackle of the dry sticks burning...and crickets chirping in the back ground. Omg, and a lightening show to boot. Cue a great nights sleep.

[@benbryant5816]

Love the call with your daughter. Thank you again for your reviews and adventures.

[@glendacrouch1877]

Enjoyed the video and I appreciate the wonderful relationships you have with your family. Talking to your daughter and she can be honest with you without fear of judgment!

[@markcoraa]

I like the idea of the tarp over a tent to form a porch of sorts. This is the first time I saw it. Great vids.

[@lyndelltaylor2775]

I have worked at the communications Tower site, at the top, for the past 40 years. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnorick6070]

So great to hear from your daughter! I’m grateful for her service!

[@johng89]

I like that backpack and that setup you had with the tent and tarp was awesome!!

[@michaelballard7323]

43:02- 44:10 AWESOME shots! Perfect framing!

[@conarc-d1037]

Love the military surplus adventures! You must be so proud of your daughter! Only the smartest are selected for military intelligence. Glad to see you're carrying!! Its a crazy world out there. Stay safe and take care my friend.

[@verybigron3814]

Great camping spot, random friendly dog, $20 pickup for gas. Good Times.

[@MOSHTUBE1]

Super dad. One of your best videos. The blue mountains and especially the night by the fire and the thunderstorms at the background. God speed.

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

Nobel prize for best panaramic shots! Best shots you've ever done!

[@barrywebber100]

Nice hike and camp. Lovely to hear you chat to your daughter. $20 and a random dog! Thanks for posting Luke.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Luke, this video was worth the wait...totally awesome! Wow, Madison sounds so confident and mature. You and Susan done good. Your military surplus adventures are simply the best on You Tube. Just about 80% of my overlanding gear is military surplus and several pieces have been in use for 35 to 40 years. It's just so well made and durable. I marvel at how you can manage to down an MRE. I haven't touched one for 31 years since I retired.

[@hoosierjeff8622]

Another great adventure with amazing camera work. Campfire and the lightning in the back ground 👏👏👏

[@caryboozer6734]

Luke, all I can say is, I truly love your show and constantly wait for the next video, so,so glad I found you 2 years ago, you and Suzie are the best

[@xdmkii]

I loved the random dog showing up. Something similar happened on one of my camping trips. Turned out to be a hunter's dog. Hunter showed up later and got him.

[@viz.on7]

Great video Luke as always! It was great to hear from Mady, it has been a long time... for someone who served 7 years in the Air Force, I know how hard it can be and how stressful, it's an interesting period of learning and adjusting and it's an important part of life for everyone who serves, so no worry she'll be OK. I hope she will come back to visit you guys soon or at least you'll be able to visit her. Thanks for sharing, greetings from Israel in the Middle East.

[@travisward8319]

The shot with the campfire, tent/tarp and grubbing on your supper with the lighting in the background is one of the best shots I've seen on a youtube video in a long time. Well shot!

[@coolwheelz5190]

With out being able to see her, she sounds just like her mother! Thanks for you service Maddie!!!

[@titanpreparedness]

Another great adventure. Its great that you do these i love looking back on the history and seeing what people used to carry

[@walkerone9833]

So wonderful to be on the phone call with your daughter. I know your both so proud of her. ATB

[@killsplaque]

Sounds like you guys have raised a great daughter! Tell her thanks for her service for us!

[@mmc0058]

Thanks for the call to your daughter, that was a nice added surprise. Stay safe Luke.

[@derektodd4126]

Really like your surplus video, would love you to do more of them. Best wishes from Northern Ireland 🇬🇧👍

[@lauriewalsh420]

Luke nothing like a great summer Storm....I stare and listen in awe. Thanks again.

[@JBC_cat]

Awesome adventure! Some cool gear. Some nice animals. Good weather. Beans. Can't get much better then that!

[@GH-cu9sn]

Been in the Navy myself back during the Vietnam Era in the early 70’s

[@SFCRambo60]

I spent 11 months on 3 Aircraft Carriers in the Mediterranean Sea in 1971. Than liked so much volunteer to do it again but things changed and sent us to Vietnam by way of USS Saratoga 30 days to the Philippines were I and my fellow Marines hooked up with the rest of our Unit and our Sister Unit of the 1st Marines, 1st Marine Airwing.and traveled between DaNang Vietnam, Cubie Point Philippines, Ubon Thailand for 11 months. It was crazy but I got to thank the Navy for the Ride, but they spoiled me because I will never get on anything smaller than an Aircraft Carrier. Rode on the USS Forestall ( USS Zippo), USS Saratoga ( Sorry Sarah ), USS America ( don't know it's nick name but was a great Ship ). Sarah tried to Sink near Athens Greece, crazy time.

[@teddvidler6830]

Found $9.00 once on a bicycle trail. Thought it was amazing. Great for you.

[@gabijones2445]

Thanks Luke, beautiful video. You and yours stay well.

[@liamworthington5863]

You talk about impact!.... YOU have impacted my life and enjoyment of your channel...God bless y'all

[@ginaleefarber2422]

Luke, thank you for sharing a phone call with your daughter with us. Thank her for her service and she will always be in my prayers. Many Vets in my family so the military hold a special place in my heart.

[@kennethwalker4701]

Nice video Luke as aways ,nice to have a pal drop in lol! Like that tarp set-up.Take care and be safe.....

[@patrickbryanoutside7416]

To your daughter, thank you from an old Army grunt 🇺🇲

[@navyeagle113]

I served 10 years in the Navy as an IS. Loved the folks I deployed with!

[@cliffordwright1603]

Always enjoy your videos Luke. Loved your setup with the tarp. Enjoyed your talk with your daughter. Yo must be very proud of her.

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

38:07 is going to be my screen saver now, thank you Luke!

[@calvinhesselgesser5133]

Good luck sister .thanks for your Service. SSG Hesselgesser Retired U.S. ARMY

[@djschultz1502]

I will be there in the next few weeks and thank you for the help Luke i sure do appreciate it.

[@michaeldegroat8187]

I’m watching every episode!😀👍

[@denakelley4363]

Haha, well the MRE looked at bit like dog food, so you can't blame the dog! Enjoyed the conversation with your daughter- I love the relationship you have with her. Totally candid and not judgmental. Fantastic.

[@vanessafurlough9321]

Lol Mattie curses like a sailor. And where is she in the Navy! 😂 I have wondered about her but never seem to catch an update from the vlogs I see. I am tickled that she is doing so well and is happy and adjusted. Great vlog my friend I truly enjoyed it. Until we meet again stay safe and God bless you and your family. ❤️ Thanks for the beautiful scenery.

[@er5406]

An enjoyable time, thanks for the peaceful time.

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

I'm curious how much is added to the 6.32 miles when you have to double back to pick up the camera for the walking shot's, I bet it's a few extra miles and definitely alot of extra work

[@kevincorby435]

I've started to count how many steps, sad I know, roughly between 8-12 towards and away from camera

[@Motodoggo_]

Don't you know he leaves the cameras and the next person that walks buy picks it up and mails it to him....🤣🤣🤣

[@snick6917]

The most relaxing video I’ve seen yet. Reminds me of my childhood

[@maswasnos8774]

One of your best videos yet! Loved your tarp setup- I think I might have to head down there sometime and check out the mountain you're on.

[@easygame7955]

Wow, those butterflies are f-ing amazing.

[@noicaomero3837]

I really liked the quiet start and then spoke when you were good n ready with a cuppa!

[@bustersfirerarmstraining6366]

Trioxane tabs work great and their inexpensive to boot lol, i use them to start campfires mostly and have used them to light charcoal lump in my grill.

[@papajeff5486]

Luke, normally I’m exclusively a tarp guy; but, when I use a tent, I always try to set up a tarp similar to how you’ve done your’s, rain and sun shine. It serves as a great porch and keeps the heat of the direct sun off the surface of the tent. That makes the tent much cooler. So glad you got to talk with your daughter, tugs on the heart strings. Appreciate the trouble you go through to put out your videos. What I started the military we had c-rations. The MREs are much improved. Great video, thanks again. Texas

[@mindymcintosh9865]

That dog likes you! Maybe you should get a hiking buddy.

[@tsrgoinc]

Now that’s a true British 🇬🇧 MRE, baked beans! We love our beans! 😋

[@craiga6557]

Sausage and bean breakfast life

[@privateinvestigator8607]

Surprised y’all haven’t made bean tea yet.

[@teridacktaljones4553]

Spot on.

[@tsrgoinc]

Not enough baked beans in the world, we already account for 98% of the world consumption of them in the UK 🇬🇧 as it is!

[@linedwell]

@@privateinvestigator8607 who says we haven't? 😝

[@redsorgum]

She sounds so much like her mom! Great video, Luke!

[@bigd15full]

The night fire with the lightning in the background was the money shot of the entire video, but the whole thing is like a mini-movie.

[@shadyhitekt2757]

"Smoke pit" some of the best memories in service. Wish ur daughter the best and safety.

[@mikevanaerle9779]

so cool that you bring your daughter at the show. loved it. I bet you are so proud of her

[@wandaschmitz4775]

the place you are hiking in is lush..green..and beautiful..love your show..

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

It's finally here! Love these Military Surplus vids, Much Thanks Luke. 👍

[@ewengillies9826]

A moment of time is a sapshot in life and you Luke have an abundant collection so we thank you for sharing your life with us. Awesome vlog this one mate. Bushyboy Oz.

[@1robdavidson]

I’m glad you had a good talk with your daughter, I wish her well and a safe deployment. May God watch over her. Great video too.

[@susanblack7782]

Very interesting video, as always, and enjoyed listening to the call to your daughter and the answers to your question . She has a happy, confident, and good nature., and Susan’s calm manner of speaking intelligent and direct, with your enthusiastic interest! I know you are very proud! I’m proud for you!

[@jamesfuquay1320]

I enjoyed that moment and dog very much. Awesome

[@Sturmer69]

No matter which backpack you are wearing, they ALWAYS seem to fit perfectly, like they were tailored for you. Great vid again!!!

[@bryanripple1938]

Very nice to hear you talk with your daughter while she's on duty with the Navy. I know you and Susie are very proud of Madison and I am too. I enjoyed the lightning in the sky during your campfire. Love your overnight adventures. I could watch these videos and totally give up tv. Keep up the great times Luke. Take care.

[@pxmnh316]

I absolutely love watching your military gear trips Luke! Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming! You rock!

[@cliffbacken]

Luke…..Hi.!! From NYPD…anti- terrorist task force…… I love when you do Military surplus backpacking gear..since I’m prior United States Air Force myself. I like your daughter for serving this Country.., I Thank Her..!!! And…….. And I Thank You for raising her … Right…..!!! You did an excellent job in giving the right education and life experience to do a ton of good in her life.. Which she will do..!! She had You and… Suzie..?? as parents. Hope I got that right, on your wife’s name. God Bless .!! God Bless this Great Country.!! Stay safe and health..

[@RealSAE]

Bro! I have to say. The easy, quiet, natural buildup start of this video was awesome. Prob the best start to ANY of your adventure videos yet. It is something about the quiet waking up in morning but getting the first things done as ANYONE would. It is like viewers are right there with ya. You have found a great groove brother. Hope we can meet up one of these days my friend. Our second home is NC eastern Carolina at the beach. Have family all over the western side tho. We are there all the time. Keep up the great work bud.

[@richschwartz8004]

It's amazing how similar your daughter's voice is to your wife's. Great video and thanks for sharing. God bless and stay safe.

[@ReadinessLinks]

Your daughter sounds delightful. Good job Luke. Thank her for her service from an army veteran.

[@captrockh2055]

Question for Maddie- did she get any cool Tattoos ? Most service members do. Thank Maddie for her Service. You & Susie should be proud.

[@faroutgallery]

Loves this. Thank you so much is was “f....ing “ awesome! Navy Vet so I have that spicy vocabulary to! Earned every word. Cuddos to your daughter I know she’s an amazing person. Anyone that gets into intel also has an awesome family because no matter how good a service member is if someone in their family has bad background then they don’t let ya in so that speaks volumes for all you guys and your character. Give her my thanks. Now I want to know more about that fing cool chest pack you had., I want one or I may have to make one.

[@prepperinthewoods]

I would have been happy that the dog came over. :-) love dogs

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

She was so sweet and came and went for hours. - Luke

[@John-jl3ky]

TheOutdoorGearReview So did the owner find the dog? It would be terrible if it was just lost out there

[@aggyMI]

Fantastic adventure, glad you enjoyed the British MRE 🇬🇧👍🏽 . Wonderful work capturing the lightning ⚡

[@IncredibleChief]

Great video. Just took a trip to Colorado and Utah. Awesome times. Thank you for your service Maddie. Hope i spelled that right. Take Care and Be Aware

[@paulmilsaps4476]

That was an amazing seen with you setting in front of the fire with the lightening in the background.

[@andreas6029]

Mount Rogers Ya!! The highest point in VA!! Happy times!!

[@williammcintyre1396]

Maddy sounds just like Sussie when she talks.

[@angthianwee2766]

Wow the view is very good it's so nice n your are a great dad. Cool.😊

[@RideorDieDietoRide]

Bro, I just wanted to say thank you for the deal on the Nitecore flashlight, it's super bright and I love it man. I look forward to see what else you got ! Bob R.

[@dustinjames4530]

I recently ordered from him as well. Mine comes in the next day or two. Super fast and easy, and you know it comes from a good source.

[@aggieduke1]

After watching your review on the ready light with tripod I purchased one. It was delivered within just a few days. You are right. That thing is awesome ! Very well made, I would say near military grade. and works like a charm. Thanks for the heads up

[@bennychilders5050]

I saw a backpack like that, in gray, at the surplus store.

[@mommaice]

I'm glad you had cell service to reach Maddy. She sounds just like momma over the phone. Nice puppers visiting as well. Only you & my late hubby could find money like that lol. Awesome view!! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@lemanski40]

Luke you are the man! I admire you bro

[@mtwolf13a]

Please, please, please, do not smoke. I quit years ago but still ended up with emphysema. Up the stairs and it's huff and puff time. My camping has to be by car because I can't hike anywhere.

[@jonreedau81]

This is the 20th year since we lost my Mom to lung cancer despite her quitting 10 years previously- my oldest child was only 10 then- she went much too young. She would have become a great-grandmother this year and what a difference it would have been for her to be alive and have seen her grandchildren grow up and maybe even become that great- Grandmother. It breaks my heart.

[@billcollier8208]

Awesome video Luke. I love mountain camping. I've been in that area since I was a kid. Your daughter is an amazing person. Safety and health to you and your entire family.

[@dudebig5404]

Very cool Luke... I had a Great time. Thumbs up as Always. Thanks... Be Safe, Peace..

[@redred333]

20 bucks is a lil payback for good integrity and a sincere channel

[@karinheart]

What a fun trip. Thanks for taking us along.

[@lonniet.2816]

Beautiful place. Lots of great gear you have there..

[@Natezoinks]

Nice camp setup. The tarp brought it all together. 👍🏻👍🏻 stay healthy. 🇺🇸
