[@whiteclouddakota1451]

The scariest part about this is that you are a Back Country Road in a Truck and you have a quarter tank of gas! 😂😂😂😂 phenomenal video

[@azclaimjumper]

Good catch.

[@whiteclouddakota1451]

@@azclaimjumper Luke drives out to the BOONDOCKS and all I could think was: I hope he has gas in a Gas Tank

[@ernieschatz3783]

Which tells me this wasn't as random as presented. It's a place he obviously is familiar with, and he knew that open area wasn't very far in. Nothing was tentative about the way he drove into the place.

[@markg117]

My thoughts exactly!!!! Quarter tank????

[@HippieHoller]

Plot twist, gas station is 1/4 mile away.

[@browsman2328]

Luke has the unique talent of making the mundane seem interesting. I mean what’s so exciting about watching a person sleep in the back of his truck in the rain, but somehow I feel compelled to watch it.

[@johngalt6929]

It's not compelling, it's just plain lazy content from someone who wants to be an "Outdoor Gear Reviewer". Nothing "outdorsey" about sitting in a truck all day and all night.

[@josephrowland2935]

Still better than plan lazy comments. @@johngalt6929

[@XenoZero82]

not lazy, just relaxing and having fun. Luke is amazing in all of his content, he's allowed to have a fun day to. please be more respectful@@johngalt6929

[@browsman2328]

I thought that comment was a little harsh, I like Luke’s combination of gear reviews and trips and think he has a charismatic personality even in the back of a truck.

[@johngalt6929]

@@ModernGentleman - Been with this channel for 10 years. Luke walks to and from his truck, boils water and sits in a chair. Has he ever hiked the PCT or the AT? He doesn't even grill over an open fire. Does he hunt, fish, canoe, or bushcraft? He doesn't even have a well or an outhouse on his property. Who drives an hour just to crap in the woods? Luke has missed all kinds of oportunities in ten years and stays in his own little bubble.

[@georgesouthwick7000]

Nothing better for a good nights sleep than the sound of rain.

[@RustyRed17]

I’ve been going through a really rough time over the last year, and it’s relaxing content like this that brings me even just a short period of calmness. Thank you for always delivering amazing content, Luke!

[@pvesely299]

Watching this video of you snug in the back of your truck eating and drinking a hot beverage is so relaxing to me. It seems so tranquil. The rain, the heater.

[@rbaileyrb]

Thanks Drifter for all the great adventures. Wishing you all the best for the future!

[@SeaOfLuv]

I love how you place your cameras to what I would be looking at. Made me feel I took the trip! So thankful for these videos when I can’t be out there enjoying nature and weather of all sorts.

[@Blue.Crawler]

Thanks for taking us along for your last camp with Drifter.

[@azclaimjumper]

KEEP THE TUNDRA - you know what you have, it has bulbs, not LED's for headlights/tail lights. Seems to me you're thinking about "change" for the sake of change. Your 2011 Tundra, an oldie, but a goodie. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

[@BigV96220]

I agree👍

[@davegoodridge8352]

Thanks! Good stuff Man

[@irenebush3773]

Thanks!

[@Covrt1S]

I love that sake as well... and here is why its cloudy... Nigori Sake is not filtered, and the sake lees (sediment) are not completely removed during pressing. This results in a cloudy appearance and a thicker, creamier texture. Some producers may add back some of the sake lees to the final product to enhance the flavour and texture.

[@ernieschatz3783]

I figured somebody would explain. Nigori sake, not sakee, not saki but pronounced Sakeh is one of my favorites. Especially when heated in Winter.

[@axtel3468]

@@ernieschatz3783 I guess im not the only one that kinda got annoyed by how he was saying it, takes two seconds to google how to pronounce something lol.

[@francisagosh2175]

I am 75 years old. I grew up in Syracuse, New York, and I did a lot of backpacking in the Adirondack mountains years of it. The only two occasions I ever had with bears was because I had a lack of a fire going like you said today it’s not that important but up there it was thank heavens I was armed one was pretty aggressive and I just fired over Ted. I’m at Jo both of them off sometimes you need a fire just for protection.

[@susanrobin894]

[@rickmiller7547]

I appreciate your high quality content. Videography is awesome! Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@joycedellinger2528]

If I was you, I would get another Toyota truck. They are reliable vehicles. I'm a first-time Toyota owner, a 2011 Venza that I've had almost a year and she's handled great even in snow. Can't wait to go car camping in her this summer with my cousins. I call her Goldie because of the color.

[@lyman135]

Toyotas aren't that reliable anymore. With modern emissions systems and too many electronic gizmos no car brands are as reliable as they used to be. The old Tundra like this one were, but not the new ones.

[@SoloHiker1]

​@lyman135 wrong.

[@lyman135]

@@SoloHiker1 im right. You're a solo hiker because you are always wrong and no one wants to hike with you.

I have a Primus brand two burner propane stove my dad purchased for camping in 1971!! I used it for camping over the years with my kids & emergencies when the power went out.. my two burner Primus propane stove still going strong! It pays to buy good equipment

[@Veer1958]

New to the channel. Your description of hanging out in the truck listening to the rain with no need to leave your shelter and feeling secure was an experience I had had just once in my life on a trip. Haven’t had the opportunity to capture that since. That moment I think about to help Me fall asleep.

[@JakeLuttrell-w9j]

Ive always wanted to comment but I just never felt it would matter but right now hearing you talk about that sound of the rain, I just wanted to say I found your videos due to me wanting that sound and I subscribed after the first video. Life long fan here, I bring up my youtube every night to see if one of my 10 people have uploaded and your the first that started it. My life gets sad but I still know I can lay down and relax to your voice or your other channel even. I listen to thunderstorms every night to relax and sleep but I always start with your videos to get me there :)

[@Hector-vx5yc]

Hi Luke, just want to say thank you for sharing. You do an awesome job with your channel. Great editing!, I might add!!

Thank you for the heads up on the Fire Maple gear, I had been eyeing one of their screw on gas lanterns. I will continue shopping for something with better quality, cheers Luke!

Luke in 2025 "I miss that truck, it was the most reliable ride I ever owned"

[@traviswilliams6101]

Yeah I definitely wouldn’t get rid of that rig even if I bought a new one. But then again, I’m holding onto old trucks that don’t run anymore for that reason hahaha

What kind of truck is it? I hear it’s v8

[@BlueWolf0224]

​@@TheReaper42069 Toyota Tundra, yep a V8 and a crazy reliable one at that

Agreed That is the one to keep. Take off the plates and insurance and put it away for later use. Don't sell or trade it in.

[@jerk_store]

Just over a 100k miles...heck man, he's just beginning to break in that Toyota. If it is working for you, I wouldn't trade it in for anything.

[@domcorleone66]

An interesting point regarding fires, Luke. I view a fire as a book without pages. Something very relaxing about the fire. I do agree that they tend to be a bit of work.

[@peterpiper487]

I enjoy your videos inside the truck as much as the ones outside, especially when it's raining and windy.

[@1cleblanc]

I recommend keeping fuel tank full when camping. But a hardsided truck bed to camp in is an excellent idea. Especially for someone like myself whose body is broke. Drive to a nice location. Hunker down in the back. Enjoy!

[@papajeff5486]

Luke, maybe you’ll consider going out with only your favorite gear, no testing, just enjoying and telling us why this is your favorite. Then you could, as you usually do, list that gear. It would be a good thing for me and maybe others. Oh, I love stoves too. I have about 18 and have forced myself to STOP. I also like sunglasses and can’t tolerate scratches so, I’ve have gone through way too many to count. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to build my trust…from East Tennessee.

[@toddschroll5833]

Luke… I bought a brand new 2011 Tundra with the Rock Warrior package, just like yours but white. I sold it to a coworker of mine at the time and trust me I regretted doing it. What an awesome truck it was… still miss it. It’s hard to beat a Tundra.

[@jltaviation]

I so enjoy your truck camps, seems like setting up outside is so much work but I certainly enjoy watching every video you have thanks 1 million and be safe

[@dmorehouse774]

I would hold onto that Tundra until the wheels fall off.

[@cookieberkheiser7227]

This video impressed me greatly, and I can't put my finger on exactly why. But I can say that when you spoke of choosing your battles it brought back memories of my mom, who totally believed it to be true. And you are both right.

Susie and Luke, thankyou for sharing all your adventures of camping and reviews of outdoor gear! I'll be retiring to western North Carolina in the next few years.

[@520Soul]

that sake is made from a special rice. the creamy stuff is the rice itself. it is filter, that's why it's only 12%. I have try the orginal sake without filter, it has a strong kick for every shot. I'm glad you enjoy it and i do enjoy your video to. have fun and be safe.

[@Paul-rc1pk]

outdoor zen! Nothing better.....:-)

[@davidwebb1832]

First, I noticed that the fuel gage said about a quarter tank....I like better than a half tank and better yet, fill up before heading off road. Second, just because something is old doesn't mean you should discard it. I drive and overland in a vehicle that's 49 years old and I love it.

Great video Luke, I remember the Turtle and all those vehicles you've in the past years, I think my favorite was the 4-Runner, I had a black limited 4-Runner that looked just like the one you had and loved that thing and my other favorite one is the truck you have now. I currently drive a Tacoma and love it.

[@efromhb]

107k is nothing for a Toyota truck. I've got a Tacoma with 170k and other than the crappy core support the truck has no issues. It has taken me all over the southwest US since 2009. Great memories. Night time in the deserts are peaceful (when there is no wind) beyond words. Complete silence. It can be strange at first but you really get into your own head in the best of ways. Safe travels. Keep that Tundra! It has amber console illumination which is great for night vision.

[@Addy-ft4ps]

Always enjoyable. Great instrumentals as well closing off the video. Be well.

[@rustysmittyful]

As long as you guys are collecting I'm sure we all wanna see the pick ups!

[@National757]

Funny how we get so attached to a vehicle. But, we always get excited about something new! My Yukon Denali was stolen last December. Loved that thing. Only 60,000 miles. Brand new tires. Never recovered. Still have 2 vehicles. My wifes 2 door coupe Mercedes, and an H1 Hummer. Neither very practical. For very opposite reasons. Been dragging my heals on something new. Looking at P/U trucks. Leaning towards a Toyota. Just having a hard time swallowing the price of new vehicles these days. Look forward to seeing your new ride! As usual, great video. Thanks for continuing to share. Jim Gillespie Reno, NV

I simply couldn't let my tundra go.. we've gone 300k and counting miles together and been through a lot, and she's always brought me home or back to my camp.. she's definitely going to be with me till the end of my days.
