Severe Storm Camping in a Temu Tent - Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Overnight Adventure

[@keithmorrison9372]

Almost 2 years ago you gave my son one of the jungle blankets. I mentioned he had surgery and he wanted to do an a tv marathon of your channel. So you sent him that blanket. He turns 12 tomorrow and he still loves that blanket. He takes it camping with us. He uses it on his bed. He lays on the floor wrapped up in it watching movies. It's been well loved. Thank you Luke for sending him it.

[@SindyJ37]

Aww that is so sweet I love this story!! Luke and Susie really do a remarkable job sharing their love of the outdoors

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

Luke, I’m glad I watched this video today. As you might remember from a previous comment, I have struggled against a brain tumor(oligodendroglioma) since 03/21/2010. Yep, today marks the fourteenth since waking from a month long coma. Instead of being happy at beating the odds for another year, my mind started thinking of my “old self”- the pre tumor version of me. Then I clicked on this video. The story you told, regarding the subscriber who passed of cancer, hit me like a ton of bricks. I may be on chemo today, but at least I am still above ground. “Get busy living, or get busy dying, popped into my head. Cheers and Carpe Diem to you dude. 🤙

42:02 I would stay. After working all week and setting up camp, I'd be tired. I'd snuggle down in my sleeping bag and drift off, listening to the pitter, patter of the rain drops. I'd breath deeply, getting every bit of fresh rain cleaned air. I'd feel the chill on the tips of my nose and ears. Knowing that when I get home, life begins again... Along with drying out all that camping gear... Yup! I'd stay. I'm not ready for life to begin again so soon! Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.

We have a camper, and my husband asks why I sleep in my tent? I love being outdoors and have purchased most of what you have given good advice on for outdoor camping. Mother's Day is coming and have a few more items on my bucket list. I'm 65 and hopefully get a few more years in to enjoy, then gets passed on to my kids. Love your shows and gear updates and your honesty!

Video idea. That looks like the worst morning ever. And you have a weeks worth of stuff for one night. So how about a video on equipment maintenance ? How you clean up and put stuff away when you get home

A perfect camping experience (for the viewer). You showed the weather as it came in during the night and you huddled under the tarp while it rained. Thank you for a great vicarious camping experience.

[@Lynne.E.Davies]

I've been watching your channel about 2 years or so, and i have to say, every other camping channel has gone the way of the Dodo, but I rarely miss one of your videos. My camping years are behind me, so I love living vicariously through your adventures in my warm dry home lol. Each of your videos feel like a relaxed visit with a friend. Keep those adventures coming, Luke. You are the best. 🥰

I love to geek out on all the different gear you pull out for your camping adventures every week? This week, I like that camping table / combo. Where do store all this stuff? Do you have a special camping gear barn? What is your annual gear budget? I would love to see all the gear you have amassed. Can you do an episode where you inventory your gear? You can show your favorite & least favorite items.

Most people don't really give it any thought. Before being told this, I guess that I assumed that ticks magically "appeared" every spring. Like I said, I never gave it much thought until coming down with Lyme disease symptoms (tests were inconclusive, but treatment with doxycycline was suggested and done). I have no lasting effects, and use permethrin regularly now.

Vote with your wallet. If you want USA made, buy the $600 tent over the $150 version. Sadly, decades of consumers wanting lower prices has brought us here with China being the world's factory, and India its office. However, times are changing. Look after your gear, replacing it will be very expensive soon.

[@jessys9868]

So… I loved that Fury camping set up and looked it up for information. Holy mackerel!! That is crazy expensive and while it looked really cool, way too much money. I’m impressed that Temu tent did not leak. And when you sat under that tarp in the pouring rain and asked what your audience would do about breaking down, I offered a little thankful prayer. I camp in a little homemade teardrop camper. My breaking down is to hitch the night before, take down the awning the night before, and make a cuppa coffee and a little oatmeal in the camper. listening to the rain on the roof. Of course… Another wonderful video.

In my world, $120 for a tent isn't a cheap tent. I've been very pleased with items I've bought off TEMU. Given their price points I don't expect superior quality. There are many good articles about Temu and how they can sell at the prices they do. We are in a global market in this day and age.

I agree if done well a hammock set-up will keep you more dry in extreme wind and rain than any tent. Most tents are probably going to blow down.

[@90srulz91]

I always thought I had no issue with coffee in the evening but then learnt that for those of us that still fall asleep easily, it is our quality of our sleep that is impacted. Started tracking how tired I was in the mornings after late coffees - definitely true. You are onto it recognising the change in dreams. Thanks for the great outdoor content.

[@tuka96]

Not related to the video, but I'd like to ask the community for some advice. I plan on buying a backpack for some 2-5 days hikes. I was planning to buy the decathlon mt100 backpack (80$) but then I saw that the osprey atmos AG 50l LT backpack is on sale (from 260$ to 180$) and was wondering if it's worth the additional 100$. A few more things: - I don't plan to go on 2-5 days long hikes this year, but I'd like to prepare myself by buying gear that is on sale throughout this year (and get myself into better shape in the meantime). - I know that you should buy the backpack last, but the "big 3" that I plan to buy take up roughly 18-20l of space so I hope that the remaining 30l are enough. - I also don't plan on doing winter hikes, so my equipment would be 3-season and should not be "that" bulky. Looking forward to the advice. Edit: I'm from Europe if that helps.

Luke, I watch your adventures quite often just before bedtime. They are relaxing. Watching you tuck into Korean BBQ before I go to bed is torture. Keep up the good work. Lincoln from England.

[@darkangelgaming1117]

Great video as always Luke. Your comments about the Toyota's setting sales records really resonated with me. About a year and a half ago I was in the market for a new vehicle and was really looking hard at Tacoma's, but even then they were selling so fast in my area that by the time the car hauling truck showed up at the lot they had already sold everything on it in transit. I ended up with a new Mazda CX-5 and although I love it, it is definitely not meant for camping. I will keep it a few years and hope the car market slows down in the meantime.

I went backpacking in the New Mexico mountains once and it rained, like at 35:00 in this video, for 2 and a half days straight. It was because of the hurricane that came across Mexico and across Arizona and New Mexico and probably further in 2010. A little rain is OK but 2.5 days of it NONSTOP is a real pain in the butt.
