Hey so wanted you to know that your videos really inspired me to get outdoors and start camping. I was in a deep depression and headed to a really dark place. I am good now and doing great. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@sylviadiaz5494]

That is so awesome keep it going. Be safe and have lots of fun doing it. 😷🙂👍

This hobbie is truly amazing. I think nature could help lots of people same reason why I like share my experiences and take friends along!

Camping/hiking and getting out to the woods has helped a lot of us! Stay safe and Carry on Camping ⛺️😆

[@darlenekozlovskis6907]

Awesome, great to hear!! Blessings

[@toddk1377]

That's awesome Greg! The outdoors is definitely soothing for the soul. Things slow down and you have time to enjoy the sunrise, the sunset, animals doing their thing, the smells, the feeling of the wind, the sounds. It truly is a therapy like none other. Hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, all great ways to get outdoors as often as possible and enjoy the good things in life nature has to offer. Cheers!

[@Steven-js8yk]

I have no idea how Susie manages to not worry herself about you Luke. You seem to get happier and more excited about being out in conditions that most of us know are seriously life threatening. Bless her heart for being strong and bless your heart for being brave.

[@Gun-88]

Do know why so she can get it on with Anton she has tried it on with a lot of his Fk buddies 😂she said it's the reason because he fked Caroline, her university buddy

Winter camping has to be my favorite kind of youtube video.

[@sidstevens9035]

So how sad is that ?

[@TrekkingPackingGear]

Have you ever been out yourself? I just been out in -7°C and it was not cold at all

[@harrymills2770]

Spring and fall are also good. Nobody likes camping in the rain. It can be colder than in the snow, if you're not properly equipped, and most folks stay home, so you have the woods to yourself.

[@stormchaser8472]

for sure same here!

[@MegaSusanc]

@Harry Mills I agree. I love camping in the rain. It's the best

[@bbond7840]

So cool that you bumped into fans while you were hiking! There are a lot of us living vicariously through your adventures. Please never stop being so kind and always stay a kid at heart!

[@Steve-qt9ce]

FYI Luke, 1st thanks for the video! I needed a coffee break From an era you're just a tad young to remember, "Broken Arrow" was Also Viet Nam war open mike code to bring all assets to a location, usually aircraft. It ment a flier or ground unit was down and about to be or was being over run by hostile forces. Like calling in artillery right on top of your position was called "danger close", for no margin of error.

[@Thexaios]

Gotta love the commitment to getting the shot, so much so that you're taking alternate routes to place cameras in order to not be walking in the same path through the snow.

Do you go out in winter yourself?

[@foxcm2000]

@@TrekkingPackingGear Yup, although it's nothing like Luke overnight in tents in the middle of nowhere! I was out during the day on Saturday where it started out at a balmy 0 and got up near freezing in the afternoon. I'm hoping for more snow by next weekend because it's been cold but not too snowy here.

Awesome as always, Luke. Thank you for the awesome videos. KEEP ADVENTURING 🤗 HUGS 🤗

[@TrekkingPackingGear]

Yes, have been waiting since your community update on youtube!

[@vindivergilio3482]

We are waiting on a 'serious' lake effect snowstorm off of Lake Ontario to start today in which we are supposed to get upwards of 20 inches of snow from. Combined with some winds of +25mph and the sub-artic temps we have been experiencing (+20* to -27*) and watching this video, it almost makes me want to get out my old 4 season tent and set it up in either the back yard or woods behind the house and do a winter weather overnighted myself!! Only things stopping me are a) haven't been feeling to good for the last few days (not covid, just regular flu like symptoms) and b) because of it, wife won't let me( don't want her getting mad at me). And you know the saying...'happy wife, happy life's, lol. Thanks for bringing us along. See you in the next one.

[@visnuexe]

It would probably be good to get out of the house so long as you don't get chilled. Not hard to get chilled once you stop moving to set up camp, though. Wife is right, but maybe when the next one comes!

[@FotogenDK]

Awesome walk Luke!!! Live your life the full... Strength and Honor! :-)

[@GramsJams]

The snow is beautiful. I remember that squeak under my feet with every step. I live in Missouri now,not much of a snow state unfortunately. I miss the great storms in New England. I enjoyed the hike Luke. Thanks!

[@lucyterrier7905]

I just started watching camping videos. There is nothing better than listening to rain or snow. Most people I know hate snow. I love it. It's so peaceful & quiet & it's always a time of reflection & prayer when it's quiet & with the music of rain or snow coming down.

[@LETSGETUTILIZED316]

Welcome to the camping club my friend. You'll learn a lot of your resilience living the outdoor life and, if you're into God, about God's creation and hopefully the wisdom he hides in plain sight in His creation. May God reveal much to you and welcome to your new journey.

[@RelaxAmbience]

I love winter, and your videos are fantastic. You put a lot of effort into them, and in the end a lot of people enjoy it

[@goldennugget75]

It's amazing how quickly it can change from Autumn leaves on the ground to a wintery wonderland. It's rather incredible. We don't really get snow here in Queensland, Australia so seeing this just puts a whole new level of wonder in me.

[@munchie3310]

Luke thank you for bringing to me what I can’t do myself. We talked by email a few years back. I am disabled and there was really no way for me to enjoy the outdoors like you do. Your winter camping and hiking bring me great joy. I want you to know this. I love fall and winter and the beauty of nature around this time. Thank you for my trips I take with you.

[@chesterhamby5993]

Luke what an awesome testament Munchie has gifted you and I and everyone else who reads it with. Great job brother! And to you Munchie *Namaste*. Your own mind is a great playground. Isn't it?

[@JDS-Dalton]

I was so tempted to go out into the Pisgah to camp in that storm, but yea, seeing the weather change from about 6-8 inches up to about 15-20 really discouraged me as I only started getting into camping since August. Great video like always though!

[@7mileTen]

Gotta test yourself mane yolo

[@josepheller8395]

I would advise working your way up to a trip such as this. I've been camping for over 40 years and I wouldn't do it. He has about 5k worth of gear alone on this trip.

[@JDS-Dalton]

@@josepheller8395 completely agree with you. While I'm more into the overlanding aspect with my vehicle fully set to comfortably sleep inside, I have untested winter gear, and no experience at winter camping. So, definitely didn't want to camp somewhere with no cell reception, and to have over a foot of snow dumped on me overnight as my first winter camping experience. Been 2 weeks since that storm hit, had another one hit last week, and another one this weekend. I will be calling in this one though, but in an area where it's only calling for a few inches, with no high winds, and where I have cell reception just in case.

[@wraithoftheirish]

@@josepheller8395 Wow.Nope except as a kid in a small country mòuntian,mountain, d being all day skating òn a pind or sledding on a Hugh hill I lived on with everyone else around and my house right there by both placeß,places, was good to go in the house.Though being outside well just was so much!A thing I did though,was learn,that if I went in to get my feet warm I would put them up against the heat vent got them tosty,tasty, my skates back on or boots,and they stayed nice and warm until I finally did come in for good.I suppose I watch this stuff,,because it is interesting,But I prefer a warm fireplace the heat no higher than 60 and a big blanket! 2

[@marv8481]

It’s really weird how the weather, over time, in these mountains have changed so much. I live just on the other side of the mountain into Tennessee and I remember as a kid we use to always get quite a few decent snows through out the winter, now I’m lucky to get a single decent snow. I love the snow, just being out in it, the surreal lack of noise, the calmness it brings… but sadly we never seam to get a whole lot anymore, but I still get to enjoy it vicariously through your videos, and it’s cool just seeing the difference in weather just an hour or 2 away. My last good snow we had was mid December 2018, got 14 inches of snow. Every other snow since has been 6” or less and very few and far between. Occasionally if a snow storm happens during a couple of my days off I will make the trip to the Tn/Nc border up in the mountains to enjoy it.

[@treetopflyer8952]

I gotta say man.... and it's just my opinion.... but I think this was one of your best vids yet. You're energy, excitement about the show, the frozen face, it all came together for a great cideo. I especially liked your excitement over the coming storm. I can so relate. Keep rocking the channel man. I really enjoy your trips like this. Stay warm.

[@jeantetreault132]

You're not that far off the road! We started having snow here only after New Year's Eve! However, we've just had a two week cold spell and temperatures have gone all the way down to -30 degrees celsius, over the course of January. Anyhow, i love the style and color of your tent. Strength and honor, Luke. Thanks. Johnny, Montréal!

[@archi-mendel]

Here, in North-Western Russia, winter has definitely moved for something like 1-2 months later. Two years ago we had the coldest night of the year in the middle of March. This December was rather decent though - rarely above -10C, a lot of days with -20C and below, at least 50 cm of snow.

[@Sushi2735]

As a small child I went every weekend with my grandparents to our cabin in the M.N. Woods. They turned me loose in the morning with my babysitter, a large dog. In the winter it looked just like this. Thinking of it now, it’s quite amazing they would turn a 5 yr old loose in the woods. I would build “houses” & “forts “. When the bell rang through the woods for lunch, the dog started barking and off we went to the fire and hot lunch. I can’t imagine nowadays letting a 5 yr old into the deep woods alone with only her dog. Great way to grow up.

[@linh8997]

Empty parking lot? Why on Earth would anyone NOT want to sleep out in a blizzard? What is wrong with these people?? 😁

[@linh8997]

Come to think of it, when I was a kid I couldn't wait for a genuine blizzard so I could go out walking in it. And during every storm, my dad would go hungry until the power went out, just so he could heat up his Dinty Moore beef stew on the Coleman stove

Took the family with me and onces a month (roughly) we go camping. Just over the weekend nothing crazy and i have to say i feel really good. The quiet time, the peace, the nature is just relaxing. Its helped me in many ways plus my daughter loves it. So thank you. It turns out the simple things is what i needed to be happy. Your the man and im thankful you make these videos.

Well Luke, you faced the challenge of the elements and overcame. The forest was incredibly beautiful with the first snow. Trek on Luke… trek on!

So glad you got this out. Needed something to watch during lunch. So peaceful looking I almost went to sleep. No can do, going back to work 😪!

Absolutely cool when you opened the tent flap in the morning and there was this amazing scene of a winter wonderland full of snow! Really enjoyed seeing that! It never gets old for someone that rarely sees snow.

Hi Luke, have you ever thought about teaching wilderness survival classes? If there is anyone I would want to be with out in the field in an emergency it would be you. You would make a great teacher. Your positivity is infectious.
