🌧️ Truck Camping in HEAVY RAIN - Remote Overnight Adventure

[@thenorthend]

It's obvious that you are very proud of your daughter, as you should be. My grandson graduates from Navy nuke school today! My daughter is in South Carolina for the graduation, and they fly home Saturday or Sunday, and he will be with us for a week for Christmas and New Years. Good video!

[@blakefullen9785]

One of the biggest privileges I have had is to recommend your channel to a friend and his wife who camp. I told them that you were the most honest review of equipment and gear I know. I explained that I have used your recommended rationed to buy more than a few pieces of equipment and never, never have I been disappointed by your recommendation’s. Thanks Luke for what you do for the community!!!!!

[@renabarnett2238]

You brought the string light back!! Bout dang time Luke! Love that light!!

[@English.Andy1]

Steve Wallis would be proud of all the Hunkering.

[@midlifetravelers6151]

@English.Andy1 How is Steve Wallis these days? I lost touch since Crazy Neighbor passed.

[@shariselove]

​@@midlifetravelers6151 Steve puts out videos on occasion these days...but he's still adventuring 😊

[@emeryz10]

I’ve noticed he’s been a saying that a lot lately

[@time.4004]

Ex Navy here. Kudos to your daughter. Hope you have an awesome visit, Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@2.65tvs2]

Have a great time with your daughter. Thank you for her service!

[@EvelynC-z1e]

Hi Luke. I enjoy watching your channel! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@YCHuen-ed4sk]

wow, the campsite you chose is beautiful, love it.

[@frankveronese1290]

Merry Christmas to you and family! Thank your daughter for her service and keeping us safe!

[@johnschuster1770]

Merry Christmas, Luke, to you, Susie, and your kids. Have a great holiday.

[@kurtjensen7264]

Hope you have a wonderful visit with your daughter Luke. Daughters are very special. I have a daughter myself. And she means the world to me.

[@joannconfer1144]

You both enjoy time with your family…. Gotta love them…. They’re great…..

[@alexanderweaver7066]

It is so awesome to hear Maddie can spend Xmas with you. The military can be very challenging on relationships. I went through two marriages during my 23 years in the service.

[@highdesertforester]

Had my boys at 42 and 62. They keep me young. Wouldn't change it for the world.

[@Vann-p3c]

Every video I watch makes me one step closer to try truck camping.

[@barnesfamily1128]

Seeing the fog in the morning looked so BEAUTIFUL. You find some great spots to camp.❤

[@dawnturnboo6428]

Enjoy the time with your daughter. I'm so glad she gets to come home 💯💯💯🩵🩵🩵 Merry Christmas 🌲🌲🌲

[@nealmacdonald8191]

LUKE you should get together with the ACTUAL Hunker Down man himself Steve Wallis and do a camp collaboration.

[@MsRotorwings]

True. Steve missed the opportunity, he was a stones throw away in Georgia over the summer.

[@KathrynMiner]

That is so cool that your daughter’s coming in. I bet you are so excited that I don’t think you’ll be able to sleep tonight.. my kids are in their late 50s they live in the same area that I do and I see them a lot and every time that I’m going to see them I get excited and happy so I can imagine how you feel. On top of everything you made sure that you came out to do a video for all of us., your friends. That just goes to show everyone what a top-notch guy you are and trust me there aren’t many around.. I appreciate you and Susie. I love your videos and I appreciate all the work that you put into making the video so that we enjoy them have fun with your daughter and the rest of your family and friends and have a great holiday.❤❤❤❤. there is a heart for you., Susie, your daughter and son

[@kathleenshoup2394]

Luke send a Merry Christmas to all and you than you for your videos

[@carolcruz602]

Thanks Luke for another great adventure! Hope all is well with you and the family. Happy holidays!!! Cheers!!!❤😊

[@dennisshorter]

I think a fire log would be a must for every trip. I love common sense camping as we did when we were kids. Grew up out in the country and looked forward to camping and relaxing from work around the home. Thanks and God bless.

[@bradleyjayproductions]

I slept for 3 months in my SUV on my mountain property, you get used to being cramped as it was mostly for sleeping and getting out like you mentioned. I like that little heater would make a difference to be able to warm up without running car. Slept better with foldable cot sized memory foam pad than air mattress though. Was just as good as my tempurpedic bed but mobile and you don't have to waste time inflating/deflating.

[@dyannejohnson6184]

The sunshine is so bright…where I live we’ve been over cast for weeks…

[@peggyschmidt7715]

Hi Luke,thanks for sharing this video, I just want to say thank you to your daughter for her service in these most difficult times, and want to Wish You and your Family a Merry Christmas and a Very Blessed and Happy New Year! Take care and stay safe 🙏 ❤️ 👍

[@jonhbaker1511]

🎉❤ I' will make sure the pack is secure and safe until you ..are back to the PAC and our den ouhoooooooooo"😮 have a wonderful holiday , merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family .

[@sharonfelton20]

God bless your daughter. Thank her for her service. I am an AF mom! Love your content

[@robvandertogt7592]

Hey Luke or should I say "piece of meat"...... ;) I hope you've put that tow strap in the 4Runner in the meantime. It might not have worked in this situation but usually it does and a great security blanket to have when you're in the middle of nowhere.

[@SM-db6ft]

I wish you and your family a great Christmas! I want to add that It was interesting to learn you are a twin! I often wondered why some people like isolation so much. I read that sometimes twins often feel the need for space or isolation. Makes sense. Thank you for your videos, insights and sharing your life with us.

[@HaamoeLee]

So beautiful these dawn photos

[@deweyabbott5310]

i would have some roof rack lights on that 4 runner that way you could light up 360 around it

[@OutNaturing]

when you see hunkering down and automatically think Steve Wallis

[@mobiltec]

I have the shirt.

[@tracyl1368]

Needs a step 2 😂

[@NoTrail]

Who's Steve Wallis?

[@time.4004]

​@@NoTrailKZbinr who does alot of stealth camping.

[@philcarrillo4458]

Dream collab

[@janetpugliesi3203]

You are too funny 🤣 Luke!! Love your stories!! Bet your wife got a kick out of the story😂.. she seems like she has a great sense of humor! Stay safe and Merry Christmas 🎁 to you and your family!

[@patriciaegan7244]

Happy Holidays to you and your family!

[@GeneaSun61]

Hmm 7o'clock in the afternoon? To me thats evening hours. In the town I live in theres nothing to do no matter what time it is. Personally I prefer that! Im a genealogist so I can do that at any time day or night! Id take peace n quiet over shootings or loud noises. I enjoy your adventures, especially the ones where you stop by and say hi to the ponies on the mountain!

[@erichetherington602]

Merry Christmas everyone.

[@steveb1776]

When you are “road cruising” on forest/state land do you keep a chainsaw on board? In the Northwest US I never go out without a chainsaw-just curious😊

[@MarkSide_]

The guy in the ditch got their numbers! 😂

[@MsRotorwings]

😂😂 Right. Now if those women played all helpless they’d have gotten his number. Whether it would’ve been his actual phone number or not…we’ll never know.

[@beardedstoryteller1654]

Hey Luke, I was just wondering. Are you aware of how many times you say (cheers) in each video? In my opinion, you have the word (cheers) completely mastered my friend. Keep on keeping on. And cheers!

[@tinasilkov]

Merry Christmas Everyone and Happy New Year

[@jaxcoop1511]

More coffee. Oh yeah!!! Luke loves him some coffee

[@BlueNoseBigNelly]

Hi Luke, change of pace....seriously love the music your picking recently for your vids. Keep up the nice tunage, its simply great 👍

[@christopherosullivan3208]

Just wanted to wish you and your's a wonderful Christmas and New Years

[@timhuffman5311]

Hi Luke, I'm Sure your daughter will talk with you about security. It's tough when your children achieve great things as the old adage goes, Loose lips sink ships. Good video.

[@williamcap2236]

Wow a ton of Steve Wallis comments ! Who else thinks it's time for a step 2

[@johnellis7596]

New Video!! Thanks Luke.

[@LorieBurk-m8u]

[@annieratcliff5740]

Hey Luke I enjoyed the video but I missed the rain. Have you ever considered keeping a real fork and spoon in your gear? Please say hello and give sweet Susie and your kids a hug for me. Thank you for all the PHONOMINAL adventures of you and sweet Susie.❤🌹 Ms Ann

[@earlshaner4441]

MERRY CHRISTMAS Luke and Susan and your family

[@diannsanford2436]

I look forward to your videos. Susie needs to come camping with us soon. Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. Please thank your daughter for her service to our country.

[@richard_n]

I agree you have to try to help someone, even if the odds are against you, because sometimes you get lucky.

[@nancywebb4389]

Thank you for sharing a time with us enjoy time with your daughter and family Merry Christmas

[@mchappycamper7645]

Hi Luke, my son is around your age, in the Navy. He doesn’t talk to me anymore. His wife told me he’s Chief now. I was a rough dad, now he’s a bad azz dad with 3 daughters.

[@ninabenson2827]

Merry Christmas to you and your whole family. I hope you all really enjoy the holidays. 😊

[@craighoeme4845]

Good evening brother. I hope you had a nice visit with your daughter and family.

[@aerisuite]

I like that transition at 28:10

[@gr81shere]

I had my first child at 43yrs old. You are correct. I am wiser, better focused, more patient, and those are the advantages. The downside is endurance. I still have great health compared to my peers, but I still get tired quicker than I did in my twenties. Consequently, I would suggest to any young to get married and have kids early. With the help of God you’ll be OK, just be correctable. Have a great time with your family and Merry Christmas!

[@Simple_But_Expensive]

Back in the day, I put a similar truck in a ditch in a similar situation in Nevada. Fortunately, they still had real jacks back then. I blocked the rear wheels, jacked up the front, then pushed the truck off the jack. Repeat twice, and I was back on the road. You can’t do that now, since plastic bumpers don’t support a bumper jack. You might be able to do it with a scissor jack, but it would take a lot more work.

[@tinaferrier5637]

Have a lovely Christmas with your family 😊

[@Matt-zp8ng]

Would definitely love more focus on the rain! I love watching your videos for the rain adventures, but only get a few seconds of rain. Love what you do, Luke!

[@tracyl1368]

Had my only child at 38 after 8 stillbirths.....some of us don't get to choose when we have kids unfortunately but a blessing non the less.

[@rosebarbaric]

You’re taking off and putting on that jacket more than a menopausal woman having hot flashes🤣🤣. Just kidding, love your videos.

[@bbayerit]

Post-hurricane flats - after the winds blow and roofs have taken a beating, roofing nails find a way to the road near you. It's a fact of life in Florida.

[@RumMonkeyable]

As much as we love the "full monty" gear camping adventures, the bare essentials ones are so much fun, too. One can have fun on a limited budget and minimal set-up/tear-down times. Thanks, Luke, for another great video. Hope you had a wonderful time with your daughter and son (your grown kids). Happy Holidays to you and Susie! P.S. Flattery and attention from the SUVs full of ladies was to be enjoyed. Does the ole ego good!

[@garycase1790]

Great American Video Freedom I live in Hendersonville North Carolina not real far from you God Bless

[@laurabryannan]

I had my first and only at 41. I would have been a terrible mother in my teens and 20s. Hubby and I are still healthy enough to keep up with him now that he's 25, and we were a LOT more sane while we raised him.

[@camouflage962]

merry x-mas, Luke

[@carolmashtare3656]

Many thanks for another great video! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@markdattilo1209]

Tell your daughter, Semper Fi, she'll know what it means. May you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@mikecronin8825]

God bless your daughter. My parents were Navy in WW II, I did a 23 year career and another 21 years repairing submarines at Portsmouth Naval shipyard, in Kittery, ME. My son has been working there for 22 years. JFK once said "anyone asked in the 20th century what they did can answer with a great deal of pride and satisfaction, I served in the United States Navy." I believe that holds true today. You have great reason to be proud of her.

[@toy4runnerpiney]

Great choice wearing Alvada socks. 80% merino wool :)

[@brucedeleon9103]

Good to see your Daughter, I have three. I have Twin girls Jackqulyn and Jennifer. Have a Merry X -mass.

[@wolfcynn]

want tons of numbers ... do long tours on a harley and look like you've been living on your bike (long rides w/camping are my thing)

[@aubsnet769]

Nice! 💪🔥🙌 your truck camping and old shed are my fav’s!

[@nadinelowry2967]

Hi ❤ your videos and your voice 💯 I never heard you speak before 😮

[@tempusfire1157]

Merry Christmas.

[@sherry8894]

Awesome adventure Luke. I love hearing your stories 💜 I bet those women were having a girls night out and had fun flirting with you 😜 You mentioning the coffee has got me wanting some now and I'm going to do just that! Thanks! Sending you much love from Ohio.❤️

[@annettemalaski1967]

Hi Luke! As a veteran I have to please ask you not to mention your daughter's job title. Please be proud of her service and just mention that she is in the Navy! Do not put a target on her back from spies and the like!

[@frankmisaege3520]

I'm retired AF...if there's anything to be concerned about WRT a job title it should come from Luke's daughter.

[@D2C3R5]

Nonsense.

[@jeffcarnegie6967]

No harm no foul. The spies already have their wish list made out.

[@annettemalaski1967]

If all the service people and thier families felt like " No harm, no foul" in WW II, there would no need for the phrase " Loose lips sink ships!" It might be a bit more sophisticated today, but it still holds true!

[@wyrwulf69]

Why worry about spies when one was just elected to president?😂

[@Heidi_USC]

Look around South Mountain in upper Rutherford County. Might have some places around there with less storm damage.

[@-MagicScorpion]

head nodding at 29:07

[@jaxcoop1511]

😂

[@mobiltec]

The nails and screws come from people burning old construction wood with nails and screws in it.

[@NoTrail]

What? Not surrounded? What good is a campout if you're not surrounded?

[@rcatlow49]

It would be a good idea not to mention your daughter's occupation or what she's involved with. Secret means secret for a very good reason.

[@patriciaegan7244]

I have a question, realizing the road isn’t driven on often, but what if someone was driving in the opposite direction? How do you pass each other?

[@brendabaker-uw1hd]

Merry Christmas to you and your family Luke. Luke, have you ever encountered a bear on your adventure? 😂

[@Studmn]

Interesting tidbit. Luke said he was driving for hours and hours. So is he almost home? Or? His gas tank shows about an 1/8th of a tank left. This is his normal. Seen alot. Weird? And he hasn't found a camping spot yet 😅

[@slowmotion4435]

my brother was a Spooke! He was taken hostage once I am happy to say he is retired now

[@carollazarr3004]

If it's gonna rain for next few days, take me home please.😅

[@mixmediaproductions]

You could go to Shinning Rock

[@qball3509]

I missed my channel brother! Hope all are well and are good.

[@williammenchen7562]

A lot of the nails probably come from pallets!

[@IATG-tl3jf]

What are the chances we can get a mother daughter camping trip?

[@thomasharhen2168]

Were was the heavyvrain?????? Come to Boston!!!

[@emanuelhenson1411]

Maybe in one of your trips you could get your kids to go camping with you

You should get a winch for your benifit and to help others if you need to.

[@darrellhall6622]

Enjoy your time with your daughter. It is good to have her home for the holiday. As for her job, she is just another person protecting the country. Don't know if she is enlisted or commissioned officer. Just be proud of her. Read a fictional book about a young lady who was in N.I. too. She is following in her father's footsteps. He was an CIA analyst who became the POTUS. (Tom Clancy)

[@davereboot70now74]

You really cracked me up today! You were complaining about your meal and way to much mashed potatoes. Immediately after saying that you said, “And speaking about my daughter”. 😂 I know you didn’t intend to compare her to mashed potatoes but the timing was just too good! You might want to give her a heads up before some her shipmates catch it & dub her with a new nickname!

[@NOFx420x]

Nails and screws come all with many burning pallets. Personally I hate finding where people literally dump heaped piles of trash the gas and effort doesn't make sense likely cheaper just going to the dump

[@craigdavis5144]

Odd. On my phone, the audio is in English. When I stream to my roku on my TV, it's in a bunch of different languages. When I click the settings wheel, it will not let me choose English.

[@MariaWelsh-lu6fg]

Luke please tell Susie not to leave you for the wolves just yet Lol . Giving out the digits to other women ( which we all know you did not ) wouldn't be a smart idea. Also I know miss Susie is probably way busy at home but we miss her man ! When she comes back it's gonna be on like Donkey Kong ! Lol. Take care and Cheers ! ☕️👍

[@kennethvalerio1294]

Plenty of firewood

[@Vidzeleo]

was Luke used to be in the military?
