In Vietnam I basically only ate the boned chicken C-ration cuz so many of the others disagreed with me. I wasn't a smoker, so I would trade my camels for something sweet. They had these delicious dense maple candy bars in the rations that I couldn't get enough of. I was a Hospital Corpsman there near the demilitarized zone with the 3rd Marine Division in 1969.

[@Mrlrobertson]

All the C-rats were rough,.,.,love the John Wayne cangy bar tho.

[@kerrybrinson6891]

Ha ha 69

[@davidcruz8667]

Oorrah, doc!

[@angel19642001]

Thank you for your service

[@markcosta4337]

C rations are great and we had our last rations in Panama in the late 90s. However I think with all the sightings we've been having lately with Bigfoot with a skunk ape depending what part of the country you're in. One has to show extremely respect and if you're going to go in the woods always carry some sort of protection. If you're sharing the backwoods with Bigfoot you better have a escape plan establish.

[@Ian..]

Hey Luke. Hi from the U.K. Stuck indoors with the flu and I’ve been watching your channel for 24 hours 😝 Love it. Thanks for the great content - and you get me every time with that yawn. Cheers!

[@scottfalls1924]

I've always use thermal hot tent every where I go camping

[@rjhisle1973]

That looks so much like where I live in Korea. High mountains, bumpy/narrow roads, but fantastic views of the area! I've lived in Korea for ten years now served with the US Army Reserve here for nine years. There are quite a few ex-military or military related people that live here.

[@russelldraine2071]

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Get ready to do a lot of pausing as there is a lot of trips coming up! Who wants to see some Colorado high elevation overnight trips? - Luke

[@mountainghost556]

TheOutdoorGearReview were in Co are you planning on going I would love to see vids like that. It would be great to see some of my old stomping grounds when I was doing HIE SAR maybe the Sangre de Cristo mountains that would be awesome.

[@peterallen4605]

lol, "basically fool proof, oops, I over filled it."

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Haha . That's what I was thinking. Opps! - Luke

[@niklashall5969]

I'm Aussie yet I'm very jealous of America those redwoods in California are so stunning and you guys have the most beautiful trails and biggest variety of culture.

[@aussiekat6379]

So do we, we have great places in the blue mountains area in NSW the amount of bushwalking tracks is awesome and the places they take you is amazing.. 🧐😊🙄🙅🏼‍♀️🇦🇺

[@dmtnw4480]

Thank you for letting us come along with you on your trip stay safe and healthy God Bless you

[@stealthandy638]

morning from England . just about too go too work . thanks for sharing put me in a great mood for the day . take care too you an yours .

[@ellisholcomb2299]

thanks for taking us along I appreciate you for sharing with us I enjoyed watching wish you all the very best my friend

[@MARLEYFANcbr]

What a great adventure. Thanks for bringing us along. It was real cool to see your trip. You made it look like a solo trip, although you had a partner with you. It looked like an awesome area to explore. I am sure you and Suzy had a great time filming this movie.

[@christhornley1664]

I love creepy stories, ghosts, bigfoot, UFO's, brilliant! There's nothing like telling scary tales around the campfire, frightening yourselves to death, then listening for every creek and groan all night long. lol

[@G36Jeff]

Me too. Wish they were more than one sentence though

[@jeepnicc]

Awesome trip. Totally jealous. I used to do these types of trips every weekend... Thanks for sharing!!

[@angelikabehrend417]

Your adventures are a pleasure to "go along" and see from afar! Thank you very much!

[@tonyharness6317]

I love your camping videos, especially your military surplus and bushcrafting camping videos. I do not understand how you only have just over 88 thousand subscribers.

[@coincidentalrvadventures2081]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video and sharing your trip with us.

[@lindamorton2066]

I love all your videos that I have seen. You seem to love what you do so much and I think that's why I love watching them!

[@metalheadjoey666]

This quickly becoming my favorite channel on KZbin. Keep these great vids coming together

[@timothyfrankfother4108]

used to camp all the time when I was a young man along the banks of the Elkhorn Creek run bank poles catching catfish all nite.Really enjoy your camping trips keep doing the great excursions I really enjoy them.

[@Jeff-rc7ph]

awesome video brother. Thanks for your time and effort in educating us.

[@Qarlo99]

This is my favorite type of video you do ... please keep them up! Thanks!

[@Will-Parr]

I was wondering about the "camerawoman". Great job.

[@Varkrag]

Love the video! I bought a '95 Bronco to do 2 things, teach myself how to work on the truck and do exactly what you're doing here! MORE!!!

[@landminehopscotch3617]

While watching this, I was thinking about buying an old bronco for the EXACT same reasons...great minds...

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

That was one of the reasons I bought the truck; to work on and learn. Great minds think alike guys. - Luke

[@alexanderweaver9182]

That was my favorite Ford product. Some engineer knew what the hell was going on! That removable rear portion was ingenious.

[@XCTERRA]

Ah great memories brought back with your 5/4 ton. Great trucks that i put to the test in many conditions during my 27 years of service. Thanks you Luke.

[@DustySquitoNM]

Your channel was the first backpacking and camping channel I ever subscribed to and it was actually because I was researching some piece of military surplus or another. The military surplus overnight trips have always held a special place in my heart after that. Between your channel and a couple others, I finally felt prepared to do an overnight backpacking trip of my own, and it was one of the most challenging, thrilling things I've done in ages. Thanks for getting me out there and enjoying life! Also, the spaghetti MRE was pretty wrecked from what I remember.

[@deyuannawood2649]

Yuenging is my fav...then Sam Adams and Modelo. Enjoy. Love the vid as usual.

[@mikejordan9220]

Worst MRE: I was in the Army when MRE's began replacing C-rations. One of the earlier MRE meals produced was the dehydrated beef patty meal. The early meals did not have heaters to warm the food. For the beef patty you soaked it in cold water and then added a ketchup powder paste that you also rehydrated. I remember the grease from the cold patty coating the roof of my mouth. It was definitely the worst for me.

[@tc1uscg65]

I remember my first time of eating one of those "DARK" BROWN BAG LUNCH meals (thats what I called them anyway), we use to get "brown bag" lunches from the galley prior to going out on patrol on a C130. Had the hamburger (meat like substance) meal and yes, remember the powdered ketchup and yes, it was just nasty). Big improvement from then to now IMO. I just seen where they added pizza slices as a menu item. Guess back then though, freeze dried food was a good idea but not well executed (my choice for freeze dried food is mountain house and back packers pantry). Thanks for your part of keep out nation safe. Retired Coast Guard Radioman sends. And Luke, his crew and this channel ROCKS!

[@raymondhollingsworth3643]

I remember the old brown one ones. They grew on me after awhile. You new guys don't know what you missed! 12 years 11B!

[@oldsoldier181]

Yeah, those were bad. After my first field problem, I was taught to carry a few ramen noodle packages in my ruck. Those and the pork patties, broken up, put in ramen noodles, with the cheese and some tobasco, actually wasnt bad. The worst were the 5 fingers of death. Or the omelette. Definitely the omelette now that I think about it.

[@m.redleg252]

The bane of my existence was Tuna with Noodles. Gross.

[@MrLangDog]

Holy smokes...sounds gross!!!

[@leecoffman2594]

Another great video from you, thank you for sending every one !

[@Ddgi-u73]

I'm running through all of your vblogs from the start. They are really good and informative. Thank you for sharing!

[@Komaru.89]

Diesel engines are the sound of my childhood. My parents drove Chevy Suburbans for many years, and you could hear them from a block or two away, so I knew when to stop goofing off. Thanks for this video, as always, it's things like this that are getting me more excited about moving to the US again! Also, I'm watching this while I have a game minimized to the task bar, and some big demon walked by in the game and I thought you had added in Bigfoot footsteps to your video.

[@JoeSmith-gp5dm]

Those are drill marks for a stone quarry, I used to work at one.

[@josephineyoung8600]

I love your videos, and how u enjoy adventures. Thank you!

[@scottsoutdooradventures6271]

3:05 yep we definitely do call it that! hah love these kinds of videos mate, keep it up!

[@SandTguy]

The Bigfoot story I love. It sounds something similar to the (Legend Of Boggy Creek).

[@leaftree49]

I want that truck!!!!

[@davesskillet9235]

me too way cool

[@baron8107]

Fred Sumner Good luck finding one in good shape. NatGuard doesn't treat CUCVs with any respect.

[@squeakskw]

No you don't. Its a chevy truck with a junk and I mean junk diesel engine.

[@colbyw917]

squeakskw Bud, lukes truck is badass, all those ol squarebodies are where it’s @ bo. they last much longer than these new modern computer ones. I drive a 88 k5 blazer, (dual port tbi 350) with a 4-speed, offroad 700r4 beast. all original besides a few minor upgrades, roughly 250k miles, runs like a champ, so if your gonna talk negatively about chevy, at least talk junk about the new ones, then ill back you up then 😂👍

[@colbyw917]

Fred Sumner Me to bo, i want a diesel swap actually (I drive a 88 k5 blazer 350 tbi 4x4) All original besides minor upgrades/tunes, roughly 250k miles, and i love that truck for daily driving and offroading)

[@jakeboss2653]

Hey Luke, awesome overnighter. That's my absolute favorite part of backpacking and camping, No matter how cold you are, miserable, soaking wet, the weather, it's always an adventure.....I Absolutely LOVE it! and i love thinking back on all those times, and i just laugh at it all. -Jake

[@kendexter]

I love that tent.. great vids..thx so much for the good content

[@jeffporter5393]

Chicken a la king is the best :) Wow, thought the tent was very cool...until I googled it. $ ouchie

[@davegoodridge8352]

I was going to ask who was running the camera, but no need. Your truck is so cool. Thanks enjoyed watching.

[@LeopoldVDH]

and a HUMUNGUS thank you Luke for providing your subscribers with such amazing, educational, interesting and oftentimes humorous video’s. Warm regards and keep doing what your doing.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Thank you brother, I appreciate you!

[@Iridium242]

Cool trip, I really like that tent, looks big and comfortable. Yeah, even if it was raining, you still had a blast!

[@srenkaas4654]

YES a new video. It's 3:44 am And I can't sleep so this is perfect

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Get some sleep....after you watch the video of course! haha - Luke

[@itisjambo]

TheOutdoorGearReview i'm staying up even though i have to get up early tomorrow morning to go on an Outward Bound trip... lol keep it up Luke!

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Enjoy your trip brother! - Luke

[@JayWandersOut]

Worst MRE? Anything vegetarian. Nobody wanted those!

[@robhumphrey04]

the vegetarian spaghetti is pretty damn good. I think its packet 17

[@pixieruby1660]

Jay Wanders Out - veggie egg omelette... had the most stuff in it, Skittles, combos and salsa

[@aredman22]

I'm surprised to hear that. We ate a lot of MREs on Forest Service fire crews. I'm far from a vegetarian, but I thought they were better than many of the mystery meat options.

[@Simplefng]

The infamous vomlete.

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Vegetarian is the only MREs I eat. They don’t clog you up, they aren’t made with an animal that would be dead by natural causes by the time it gets to you, they have the best salty snack items, and they have the best drink mixes, they always have peanut butter and jelly, and they all have a first strike bar.

[@gliderrider]

Camping with someone is great. It's fun to share the moment. Cool stuff!

[@brandondavis5422]

Great video as always! I can't wait to get out camping soon!

[@toddbartel6300]

I remember seeing the movie in the 70s from Louisiana about Bigfoot

[@Neotidus]

Omelette MRE was by far the worst. Those were in the old dark brown bags

[@browndogdude5400]

Damn straight! Omelette stunk to high heaven!

[@sethhoward2060]

Ugh I remember old #4... the ol omelet. That thing was so awful. We were only allowed to reach in and grab an mre randomly. I made reaching in and grabbing an mre an art just simply to avoid the omelet.

[@licolntim2419]

Menu 4....... Legendary in the worst way!

[@m.redleg252]

Yeah the Western Omlette t ration wasnt bad until later on when it came back in the form of gaseous death.

[@motomuto3313]

Ham and lima beans.

[@johnzimmerman6516]

Another good show. Nice rain fly for the tent! Be safe out there!

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Fast forward to April 2020 and we're on lockdown due to the Covid-19 crisis. I love your past adventures with Moose as it takes me on an adventure involving overland camping, an activity I truly love now. As I venture into my 70's (almost 73 now) the days of backpacking are few and far between. My Jeep is "pre-packed" and a bug out bag and a reconnaissance bag are sitting under my desk ready to deploy. My wife knows as soon as the governor says the lock down is over my butt is out the door and the Monongahela wilderness is my destination. Thank you, Luke, for helping us to retain our collective sanity by living vicariously through your adventures. I know you and Susan plan on traveling and wish you safe travels and we'll look forward to the videos.

[@michaeltruhett4170]

My best friend was in the Army during the Vietnam war. He said the one K ration NO ONE would eat, not even the enemy troops was ham and lima beans. They called them ham and mother-effers. I was fortunate enough to be stationed on a ship where our food was fresh when I was in the Coast Guard, so I truly feel for the young men and women stuck with nothing but MRE’s. I got out of the Coast Guard 37 years ago and a lot has changed obviously. Anyway, another great video and great sidearm. We can’t get that particular gun here in the People’s Republik of Kalifornia. Only law enforcement can get that particular gun. We can get older model Glocks, but not the newer ones. Anyway, thank you for another adventure and best wishes, God speed

[@EarlyMist]

Btw in response to your last comment: I loved every second of the trip. I can't get out temporarily due to Spinal issues but nothing wrong with living vicariously temporarily 👌

[@40belowful]

very cool video Luke and Susan:) very beautiful countryside you live in. :) gotta love the moose

[@VinhMaiVinyard]

Loving the channel man, keep up the good work and the positive (optimistic) outlook on life and the outdoors p.s. great video

[@pboone1231]

I did 10 years in the army. i remember waking up in oklahoma after parachuting in - i had to pee. - when i looked at it the next morning it was a cliff. I could have walked right off of it.

[@itisjambo]

Enoob wow that is one hell of a fascinating story. glad you're still here

[@itisjambo]

Enoob and (IK u must get his a lot) thank you for your service to our AMAZING and FREE country

[@Neotidus]

Enoob why would you parachute in Oklahoma?

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Wow, that's pretty crazy brother. Great story though. - Luke

[@davesskillet9235]

wowser guess I was lucky our training was in the desert then I was deployed to SE Asia lol

I wondered that too

[@joesjourney1324]

great vid, great camera-work! thanks for showing off Moose! more like this!

[@MasterInterpolater]

Woo hoo! I've been waiting impatiently for this video, keep up the good work brother!

[@leaftree49]

worst mre for me was the scrambled eggs....love that truck....13b cannon crewmember artillery 12 years.

[@rswarre]

The ham and cheese omelette MRE is by far the worst concoction that has ever been passed off as a food product in the history of the universe! I wouldn't wish that thing on ISIS...Well ok maybe on ISIS.

[@leaftree49]

Scott Warren. agreed...That was horrible...

[@tc1uscg65]

Luke and his better half did a "taste test" with Mountain House's Spicy Southwest Breakfast Hash. Tried one, ended up getting a case. It's very tasty. And FWIW, the best "egg" breakfast is their breakfast skillet. Just don't "oops" the water unless you like "over easy" eggs.

[@markdemelo7643]

Also agree, freaking nasty definitely a "no go" lol. 13b fort sill, sp howitzer b4 the paladin, old school my brother.

I really enjoyed this video. I would like to see more just like this!

[@cyanson71]

dont hide the wife next time luke. love the vids brother.

[@ritawilliams3788]

Hope you guys see some coffee after all that you know how she loves that coffee

[@nautilusmax5006]

Cool tent. Hey MRE expert guy on the video. Do you know that you actually put the main dish inside the green bag, not next to it right? BTW: Big foot is a scam...

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

I don't put the main dish in the bags as it works just as good the way that I did it. Cheers! - Luke

[@kendon81]

yeah the main entree goes in the bag and any sides or sauces go beside to heat up......

[@royalty9442]

Dylan Mcwhirter nobody can understand you dumbass.

[@NinjaHempKnight]

You better not flirt with big foots girlfriend

[@timothyeubanks32100]

12 minutes in and you're just going to act like nobody is with you? Even though it's obvious someone is. you're not going to introduce your camera man/woman?

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Wait, was there someone with me? Keep watching amigo. - Luke

[@timothyeubanks32100]

TheOutdoorGearReview oh of course I'm going to keep watching. just after 12 minutes in i was thinking "man is he going to do this whole video without mentioning his PIC? (partner in crime)

[@timothyeubanks32100]

TheOutdoorGearReview ok just finished, guessing it was your wife. at least if it was a woman, it better be her! or your sister or something like that! lol

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Hahaha Dang right, that was a close-quarters sleeping environment. :D - Luke

[@jake-hy2zb]

Certainly you're not complaining.

[@kenmarapese9085]

Excellent and entertaining vid, loved it, keep them coming. Looking forward to the review on the tent! I bet you wouldn't have for gotten the rain if you weren't car camping!

[@sparks701]

Your videos are great. I really need your job. Keep up the good work!

[@SuperPangloss]

Love that truck! And that forest as well. I am quite a few hours away but am putting it on my 'explore list'! (and you drinking my favorite beer)

[@ronnibuck1504]

Looks like a great place to explore. Thanks for taking us with you!

[@jeremyb.1977]

Enjoyed the video Luke. I really like the Moose. I would love to have a truck just like it. Thanks for sharing your awesome adventure. I hope you wife had fun too. - Jeremy

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Great video Luke! Dig the military surplus stuff.

[@jeremywoodall9800]

This is the third time I have watched this video lol, made my rounds of your channel at least two full times… I love your videos, but by far my favorite is your military surplus adventures and reviews of military gear. Love them. Hope you and your family have a good holiday season!

[@brianwofford3831]

Thanks for the great video. I really like your channel. I have a 2007 four dor jeep with 257K miles and I enjoy trips like you just showed on this video. The tent and sleeping pad looked great.

[@mobiltec]

Well at least the truck got a good cleaning on the way home. Looked like great fun. I do that kinda stuff all the time in my 1978 K5 Blazer 4wd. Cept I don't leave when it rains.

[@elizabethingram9784]

Gosh, that was gorgeous. Can’t wait for the next one. I like the style and simplicity of your videos. Happy spirit shines through. Hi! From San Diego, CA.

[@thaddeaus9805]

Enjoy your videos! I live near the peaks of otter! Have done sharp top a few times! Enjoyed that video also

[@judydaugherty4483]

Love that tent! Want one

[@cindyneely6087]

perfect the word for these two

[@christopherfolta614]

Very enjoyable. Quite the way to inspire.

[@comeandtakeit_bushcraft5705]

My first time seeing moose. And ill tell ya i never knew you had such great taste in vehicles man i like you and this channel so much more now...

[@colorlesscloak4728]

I enjoy these areas every chance I get. I enjoy how all of the roads connect in some way and take you to various states and Appalachian trail crossings.

[@colorlesscloak4728]

As I watched this it was interesting hearing the grunt comment. I encounter that often in an area I visit. I visit it often but I can only make it so far before I start hearing the grunts. I've found other signs and may have had an encounter but it was very confusing and adrenaline filled. Pisgah is wild for sure.

[@qball3509]

Love this episode I watch it over and over and never get tired, miss u moosey.

[@billnwa2250]

Great video, keep up the great work!

[@beartrackwoods4720]

Hi Luke! That is a nice truck men!!! That reminds me of my youth. My uncle was in the National Guard and my cousins & I used to go there and got on those trucks, Du and Half & the old American ARMY jeeps. Good memories men!!! Thank you though!

[@freespirit6209]

Enjoyed! Nice camera work too. Thanks!

[@T4me69]

Love this video! Great job keep up the good work 😊

[@bbarnhartpd]

Love the tent too!

[@earlyamerican2459]

Wonderful Luke ! As always

[@borristhebutcher6632]

love the tent.. cant wait to learn more about it.. Glad to see a new video like this one!.. I'm supposedly disabled (I say it's just temporary though lol) live vicariously through you until I'm up and mobile again..

[@LpMcQuack]

Luke you always produce some great videos love it

[@thomasmoi5946]

Man, i wait for an overnight adventure since the trailer of the 2 parts series!! thanks for the video buddy

[@northcountryadventures7619]

Great video. I have the same Swiss hatchet, it came dull and the head was a little loose due to drying out over time I believe. I submerged the head in linseed oil for a week to allow it to soak up the oil to swell the head, it worked well. I still think that truck is awesome and btw, I want that tent lol Thanks for sharing

[@tarabravewolf3895]

Been in that globe area plus collettsville is a great drive thanks for sharing 😊

[@thewhitecarlos94]

Checking in in 2022! Been binging your videos, they're so addicting. A great one, as always!

[@Tundraoutdoors]

Luke you have my dream truck!!! I also have a tundra but I always wanted a 86 cucv truck! Looks amazing

[@ZZoutdoors]

Great shots by the camera person! Really enjoyed this one cause it took me back to a campout of mine 2 years ago! Rained like hell for 3 hours! Hard! Thanks for the trip Luke. ZZ.

[@junemacachor7290]

I love all your music u use in all ur vids! No complains!

[@patriciahernandez9661]

Love this adventure! The forest is beautiful!

[@fredsieber2676]

Great video. I haven't seen a CUCV in years! They were using them when I first joined the USMC in 1990. I grew up in Hendersonville and work on Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan. Seeing the mountains and woods is great. Coming home next week for a visit and cannot wait to see the mountains.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Enjoy your travels Fred! Thanks for stopping by. - Luke
