Deep Into the Forest - Overnight Adventure

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

The Hole : Crayfish; also known as crawfish, crawdads, crawlfish, crawldads, freshwater lobsters, mountain lobsters, mudbugs or yabbies! Enjoy the adventure everyone, have a great weekend and next week the two part Road Trip adventures begins! - Luke

[@scottbainetwisted_keel_adv5821]

I was to slow in the crawdads, but I have wondered does just the one laying eggs or hatching their babies use those?What pack you using luke ?

[@marinejarhead291]

Down in Georgia we called Them Mountain Lobsters lol Where some of my ppl r from Up In Southern Ohio they call them Crawdads Lol Pretty Funny

[@norsefalconer]

Yeah, we have those terrestrial crawfish, and their funny little mounds all over the yard. I guess it's because the ground water is only a few feet below the surface in some spots. The little guys won't be there much longer though, I'm afraid. A lithium company (Piedmont Lithium) is getting ready to strip mine about 1800' from my property. They're sure to disrupt, if not outright ruin the ground water.

@@thealabamabushcrafter6861 well it is kind of hard to do a review without talking and I rather like it when youtubers interact with their viewers hence the "pathfinder alcohol stove review " now it would have been hard for you to review that stove without talking would it not and saying UM to many times well that can be a form of rambling but non the less i also enjoyed your video. I love the way Luke handles himself on camera and I appreciate all you tube people so please don't take me the wrong way just a guy on the sidelines that loves bushcraft , backpacking , paddling , hunting and fishing.

Hi Luke, I am homebound. I haven't been outside in a while. Things aren't looking good either. I need your videos. Some say when you die and go to heaven you get a mansion. Me, I would rather have a tent on a lake with a wood burning stove. That's my heaven. You take care of yourself and keep up the excellent work.

[@bernarddeboeck8405]

William Nelson i do hope you get well and you can go outside. If not, i hope you can get that sweet spot at the lake and keep the fire going...I wish you all strenght buddy

[@ArizonaAdv]

Jesus is mighty to forgive our sins whether we live or die we have the ultimate experience of feeling His Love in us and around us and when we acknowledge that it penetrates us. Jesus knows exactly where you are. God Bless""RIDE ON""

[@northernwildcamper1593]

Hey William, I am in a similar situation, unable to get out in the woods. Luke's videos are an excellent substitute. You may also be interested (if you haven't seen it yet) in a great channel by Wiltshire Man. Take it easy mate.

[@g.russell4140]

I'll build a fire and keep it stoked till you come along.

[@tomlee6263]

Yeah forget about streets paved with gold ;)

[@zettle2345]

My Uncles favorite way to get us out of the house, was to take us to the creek behind Grandma and Grandpa's trailer to build a dam. As a kid being allowed to play in the creek and get wet in the summer was like heaven. We could play at the creek and throw rocks if we wanted to. But to be sent to the creek, so the grown-ups could talk in peace... that was special. I've never lived more than a mile away from a creek or a river. We always called them crawdads, didn't care how it was spelled... keep doing what your doing

[@powellfamilychaos4760]

Your overnight videos are by far my favorite! Another great video! I know what you mean about the creek bringing you back to your childhood. I grew up fishing and hiking the banks of a river behind my childhood home. Always brings back good memories 😀

[@joannconfer1144]

Luke, I really like this area. It's beautiful to go with you on this walk. My legs just won't let me do it anymore. I loved the woods when I was a kid. I use to walk alot. So, I feel like I can live my life, watching you and your wonderful family on your fun adventures. Thank you so much. I'm starting to talk about you and Susie all the time. My friends and family know who I'm talking about. Thanks , I love you guys. Your so much fun to be with.🙄😊💖

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

Following you guys, bushcrafters, backpackers, etc, you get sorta attached. It's sad to see the episodes end each time. I guess because I live alone and live my "sad" life vicariously through you guys. lol. Love your videos.

[@DebCampos]

You have successfully created a great mix of knowledge and storytelling in your videos. That's why we love them 🏕️🏕️❤️❤️

Hey Luke, that place looked gorgeous and I would love to stay a few days in those woods. Thank you for taking us along with you.

just came across your channel..i like it. you seem down to earth and honest. you got yourself a new subscriber 👍

[@terripennington9881]

I love your videos. I’m subscribed to a bunch of bushcraftets but I watch you more than any of them. I don’t get to get out and walk but I watch you walking and I get to see alot of scenery. I know your legs and feet get tired and probably your back also from carrying a heavy load. May God be with you on your adventures and may he watch over you and protect you from harm. Amen! Stay safe.

Check this out, I am the night time, 2000 to 0800, dispatcher for a ambulance company. pretty much nothing happens for days. So I am now watching your videos.

[@papajeff5486]

Luke, I am an old Army retiree. I have three daughters. On the middle one’s 21’st birthday I was in Baghdad. We got called to surgery for 21 yo female soldier. Her mandible had been ripped off her face, gone. Her top teeth were broken away from and hanging from her skull. When I barely pushed on the left side of her forehead the right side of her head moved too...in a crushed sick way. I know that you are so excited for your daughter to be military; but, remember, she didn’t join to be a safe civilian. I care for you and your family more than I can say. Love her, love her, love her... Texas

[@mawmawvee]

Remember to pray for her, Luke, and never stop. No matter what, God knows where she is and is always near. God bless and keep her in His loving care, always.

[@thedabbler2418]

I was enjoying the video until I read this. I am no stanger that this world ends and can end horribly but have not nor can ever understand the nature of death as you have seen it.

[@papajeff5486]

Crawdad hole, my friend. Luke, I live in Texas because of my work. I so long to be back into my Appalachian Mountains. My daughter still lives in my little house back in the foothills of the Smokies. Your walk makes me so homesick. I have been all over the globe, with the Army. There is no place on this earth more beautiful than those sweet mountains. One time, when I was in my 20s, I hiked up and down Mount LaCont to see the sunrise, before Sunday School. It took 4 hours. It was worth it. God bless you and yours. Texas

[@joannconfer1144]

Beautiful scenery and great spot for the tent.Thanks again for a get time.

So i started watching your channel and my 5 year old sometimes watches it with me. She now loves to watch your channel and keeps asking me to go camping haha! I dont uave the gear for winter camping in canada. So she has to wait for the summer. But she probably wont let me forget until we do it!

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

I noticed a black birch on this video. The bark and roots can be boiled down to make a birch beer (wintergreen flavor). Yellow birch has the same flavor but not as much. In the spring the sap can be collected and boiled down to a syrup like maple syrup is. In some open areas you can find a wintergreen red berry along the ground (don't confuse it with Partridge berry). Combined with spruce gum, you can make a chewing gum to relieve thirst. The leaves can make a wintergreen tea.

[@fritzd2116]

Dang, that looks like late August or early September where I live... EDIT: in the early part of the video, I should say! Beautiful country you have there, Luke.

You're probably familiar with the Japanese concept of Shinrin-Roku, literally, "Forest Bathing" which is been found to be very therapeutic for anxiety, depression and many other ailments. Two of the most therapeutic elements in Shinrin-Roku are Wind in the trees,. and the sound of Running Water, a babbling creek. That may be why it is so relaxing to watch and listen to this this video!

thanx for your statement about back roads vs. interstate. as a trucker, I wish that more people would use them, especially in cities. most times, trucks MUST use the big road. 4 wheelers can go any where.

[@mawmawvee]

Were we supposed to answer what that crawfish chimney was? They use those to hunker down in and they're all over here where we live in Southwest Louisiana. Anywhere that's low and damp, they build them. I saw a pasture the other day that was filled with crawfish chimneys and was amazed because I've never seen them so thick like that. When my husband mows over a chimney, the poor little crawfish starts to put it back up ASAP. Where does the name yabbie come from? One day, when the kids were still little, I came home and found a huge crawfish that had gone through the gate to the dog yard and all my yorkies were going nuts. That brave little crawfish was going after them, brandishing its big claws at them, trying to scare them. Yorkies don't have the sense to be scared of anything (gets a lot of them killed!), so they were barking their heads off and pushing in the pen gate in toward the little critter, but it was so funny to see. I have a couple of photos of that somewhere. Anyway, it did NOT like it that I picked it up and saved its life. Ferocious little things that they are. May 2024--I saw one of your videos that you were going to go camping in a hurricane? That's not smart. God be with you.

If a stream isn't too deep, you can cross by piling up stones into a ford. Another option is to carry a couple plastic sleeves like long bread wrappers or paper delivery covers and slip your legs into them and then tie them over the tops of your boots like gaiters. Boots need to be goretex or at least reasonably waterproof. You still need to cross quickly.
