At least you know the tent will work for the winter

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

Hi Luke! Thanks for the COOL (well not for you in that tent!) adventure! It was a graphic illustration why all that fabric is a BAD idea in temperate climes. You could see the air trying to flow through, but the fabric just bellowed toward the inside of the tent! No wonder you had to have the door open! I am forever stumped why at least two times a year (4th of July and New Years) that people stupidly want to blow themselves (and maybe someone else, too) up. . .I work nights, and pretty much only have these holidays off only twice in seven years. So I always have to drive to work just after the sun has gone down. And all you hear is popping and explosions. This year all the smoke from those dangerous things was like a low hanging fog, as I drove to work! INCREDIBLE! Leave the pyrotechnics to the EXPERTS. I guess, though, our American freedoms allow you to be as stupid as you want to. Amazing.

[@rupturedduck6981]

In Maryland when big storms are coming flash flood warnings are issued all the time. It's too let people know too pay attention to your surroundings and watch the conditions around you. The more self aware you are the safer you are.

WOW! This is my absolute favorite kind of camping. A nice long thunderstorm . Nothing like it! I like the pre- made meals you make. Although I've never tried them, they look scrumptious. Especially the biscuits and gravy ones. There's just something about camping all night in the woods with a nice cozy tent setting with thunder and lightning ⚡ So relaxing! Thanks for sharing Luke! P.S. I want to meet Drew. He sounds like he liked to take chances! LOL😂😊

[@paulaparkinson7067]

You know exactly what you are doing, it would be nice to see you have a Great camp without any drama, just a chilled out camp! It seems you always have a bad camp, even though you are parked close by. Just show us a nice chilled relaxing camp out .... Please

Love a great thunder storm.😁Thanks Luke.🤙🏻

[@Bible.Jude1.25]

Incredible watching your camping alone adventure video this afternoon today! Wow, I was surprised how dark the forest became during this summer mountain thunderstorm. Once a Christian male friend and I went camping in remote New Hampshire in a dense Pine tree forest, after we set up our tent, a severe thunderstorm with strong winds arrived about 6-7pm, we decided to leave our campsite after so many tree branches were falling down near our campsite, and torrents of heavy rains was causing minor rural flooding on our country road, when we were driving slowly down the mountain road, avoiding tree branches in the road, we spontaneously marveled and laughed with the LORD, and each other, when we saw large bullfrogs gathering together on the paved road, they were everywhere, more than 25, less than 60, I would drive carefully and stop, and we would gather them and toss them into our backseat, these were mammoth size bullfrog, we must have had 6-8 in the backseat of my car. We kept them and released them further down the road. To this day, I have never seen so many bullfrogs gathering on a country road after a summer rainstorm. Great video, Luke

[@kathleenshoup2394]

Luke would you and Susie do a Iowa adventure we love to have you

I think we need to give Susie some credit after all when you come home with wet tips and wet tents and wet clothes she has to put up with all that and as you said before she does so beautifully. But I just wanted to give her some credit too. She’s amazing.

[@kitaoden703]

[@carolwelcome2882]

That was a good storm. You add Drew, the kitty litter and the oil story made it even better😊 Thanks for sharing Luke

[@Simple_But_Expensive]

I would argue that any food cooked while camping is better than food at home.

[@sandrapicard422]

I was so impressed with the telescopic light, and here in Canada it’s double the price. That is quite the storm!! Have fun!!! ❤

[@lindahopson5003]

Here in Texas we always get preemptive flood warnings... just about every storm system that comes through. Loved the thunderstorm.

[@ChrisCollins001]

That's the same weekend I chose to backpack at my local state park. 111 heat index, 99% humidity, and that storm system. I wasn't dry the entire trip. I was either soaked because of rain or sweat. The only time I was dry was in the tent staying still. Funny thing, I sacrificed the remaining power from my power bank to keep my small camp fan running. It made all the difference.

[@greebp4]

I love that tent. I live in NY State and I mostly backpack in the early spring and fall. The last 2 times I used it the temps dipped down to 35 and 44 at night and it was great. I've never used it in the summer, so I'll keep that in mind. Great insight

[@emilyar7992]

I have seen preemptive flood warnings. I used to live in a flood plain along the Missouri River. Usually the flood warning was preceded by flooding further up on the river or a release of water from a dam up north to prevent flooding in a more populated area.

[@johnellis7596]

Thank you, my friend,

[@lindaterrell5535]

We lucked out with our old tent. Two person pop up bought in 1980 for $240. Same tent now is about $80. We camped east west across the country twice. Then north south about a dozen times or more. Never a leak. And we camped in some real frog-stranglers especially on the prairie. Glad we did it back then cuz we don’t have the wherewithal now.

We have flood warnings before a thunderstorm where I live in Minnesota. We have two rivers that come together in our area; one of them is the Mississippi. I enjoy watching your videos. You take me places where I have never been and probably will never be. I did, however, spend days camping with the military where I slept on the ground in a pup tent. I would not be able to do that today. Old age has snuck up on me and grabbed me in its clutches. Such is life! I would like to invite you to try camping in Minnesota some time. We have some really beautiful places here, such as the boundary waters and the headwaters of the Mississippi. We have areas that are pure wilderness. Try us out sometime!
