You’re a brave man. I’ve hiked alone in pitch black forests with only a headlamp to light the way. I’m always uneasy and hyperaware. However, I’ve never done so on a trail like Devil’s Throne, in the rain, in the fog, with strange noises all around. I consider myself pretty fearless. But perhaps I’m not. Great video Luke!

[@kennethkrieb3018]

Leaving the throne at night, in the rain, in the fog, down a narrow overgrown trail was like watching a scene out of the movie ‘The Blair Witch Project’. Very brave.

[@stephaniegrove9128]

[@Nytestealer0831]

in the Philippines, we also have a "devil's mountain" the trail is deadly with snakes and leeches, not to mention the thorny palms around the area.. when we tried exploring it, we learned it is also a guerilla zone or no mans' land to the military (hence they called it devil's mountain and not some folklore of evil spirits).. we were able to reach the summit but had to remove leeches attached to our bodies.. at night, during camp, we hear babies crying (it was actually a frog mimicking the sound of crying baby) it was quite an adventure..👍😎

[@PaulBeetge]

I think out of all the outdoor channels I've ever watched, the photography, sound production, quality, and content of this channel... Man it just always impresses me. Always.

Between my freshman and sophomore years of college, I was a survey aide for the US Forest Service. We felt eyes on us for days. Came around a curve to a mountain lion napping in the sun. It looked at us (5) and went back to napping. It was our stalker. We saw it walking parallel to us several more times before the job concluded.

[@matthewfraner4983]

you won’t hear a mountain lion, especially in rain.

I remember cutting through a big graveyard in west Charlotte NC,,,, middle of the day,,,,and how quiet it was and feeling a chill come over me out of nowhere,,,never will forget that

I don't subscribe to superstition but I have been seriously scared during a several trips. When I lived Idaho a good friend and I would go to Yellowstone NP each spring to canoe our way to Shoshone Lake to fish as soon as the ice melted. On each trip grizzly bears, just out of hibernation, came to our camp and take a big sniff at the wall of our big tent. Even though firearms were not allowed, we always took some for protection. The rangers knew. We couldn't even sleep in the same clothes we were wearing while fishing or cooking dinner. The bears would get into the canoe and lick the canoe where we had placed our fish. I always knew when a bear was close. All of the forest noises which I spent years learning to hear would stop. We could feel the impact on the ground when a bear was very close and I could smell a bear from a pretty good distance. In Northern Alberta I had bears and wolves come up to my tent nightly. Even though I was armed it was terrifying to be that close to some of the biggest bears(I would check their tracks in the morning) I have ever seen. In Africa we had lions in our camp a couple of times and a Black Mamba on one trip. We also had lighting hit and split a tree just feet from our tent and melt the side of my NorthFace VE24. The more I write the more stories I remember. I have been told many times I should write a book. Stay safe out there everyone.

[@mengopidirumah]

Anyone who knows Luke would instantly recognize him in situations like this. He loves places like these, the kind where you don’t even need to think twice about whether to step in. One look, and you’d already decide it’s a no. He’s got tons of experience, and there’s no reason to doubt him. If I ever get the chance to come here, I’d definitely tag along with him. I’m sure the beings here already know him and his heart. But if your heart isn’t in the right place, don’t even bother coming, you’ll end up getting played for sure.

[@orlandosoto6080]

@@mengopidirumah remember Steve Irwin’s I believe that was his name, the crocodile man? Petting snakes wrestling alligator handling poisonous spiders, was he brave? Putting himself in that situation for the camera, and of course one day it happened one of his stunts got him killed, what did we learn from that? Don’t do stupid things! I know people would rationalize with a lot of reasons, it’s adventure, it makes you feel alive, the list goes on. This young man Luke seems like a pleasant young man but he is also a great businessman and I’m sure he isn’t as alone on those adventures as he claims to be not if he is as smart as he portrays to be and I have no doubt he is, television is a wonder to behold it shows you can even speak with aliens, I watch outdoors gear review all the time in the comfort of my couch, I also watch two Vietnamese guys build a full house on top of a tree with nothing but a machete that is amazing, and they are supposed to be alone too🤷

[@FloydCotton-hx4jh]

Trekking poles or just a good walking stick really help you scout those leave covered pools. I learned this the hard way. I stepped off into an area where I was almost completely submerged. It was heavy rain and I was on a trail I had only been down once. The water, following the path of least resistance, made it look as if the trail took a small bend to the left. I found out quickly that it was a pool of water almost four feet deep. The fresh leaves of fall made it look like a solid surface. Great video! Thank you for sharing!

[@TheKelvala]

I agree. I use mine ALL the time and if its over leaves or any covered area, I check it first with the poles.

[@FloydCotton-hx4jh]

@ it’s a wise choice to carry them. The more you carry them, the more uses you find for them.

[@LeTrashPanda]

I use two; one to poke and the other to steady myself....also handy to test stream depth before crossing.

[@TheKelvala]

@@LeTrashPanda Same, it takes 1 ankle twist to learn its better to use two poles :)

[@VintageClips-rf7kt]

I’m in Scotland, the most haunted country in the world. There are places we don’t go here, places that our ancestors set aside for the devil; we call these places devil’s playgrounds. The idea is that if the devil plays there then he will be less likely to meddle in our affairs. But, when I was young, my brother and his friends went camping in the devil’s playground. They got drunk and fooled around, made a fire, etc., and nothing much happened on the night. Later, though, when they got home, all of them got a sickness that lasted for weeks. The doctors couldn’t explain it. My brother’s best friend never really recovered from the sickness and he said he was being haunted by an evil spirit that had followed him home from the devil’s playground. He was very serious about that. His mother said she saw a dark figure dancing around his bed when she visited him in hospital. That was years later when they amputated his leg. There are things that you shouldn’t fool around with in this world.

[@jasongoodrich1]

If they throw stuff at you, just leave calmly and don't even look back. If they are screaming it means they are upset. Usually when they start throwing little stones, you have one to three nights until they will really escalate things and probably get physical. Usually they just don't want you there and since your not hunting or fishing you probably ain't making them too angry. Merry Christmas Luke, peace be with you and your family.
