🌧️ Truck Camping in HEAVY RAIN - Insanely Easy Camping - Overnight Adventure

[@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!!!!!

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

I literally have not bought any gear not Luke tested, in almost a decade.🤙

I'm so glad you're getting some time with your daughter over the holidays! Family is so important. Enjoy being with your family and don't worry about us. We'll all be here when you get back. You and Suzy have worked hard to raise kids with a conscience, and your morals and ethics are commendable. I see and hear it in every single video you put out. I hope your holidays are all you wished for, Luke, and that this Christmas will be one that is unforgettable in every good way.

Steve Wallis would be proud of all the Hunkering.

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

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

[@barnesfamily1128]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@Scorpio45Libra]

With them both being service members its a little different. But speaking from the perspective of a military spouse, its a very hard life. Which is why they say that being an Army wife is the toughest job. Merry Christmas to all of you, and Thank your daughter for her service for me.

[@time.4004]

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

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 🙏 ❤️ 👍

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!

[@carolcruz602]

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

You're right Luke, living in the mountains is definitely a different way of life..

Thanks for the video. I need to declutter my car before I go camping again! Enjoy your daughter and family!

[@MarkSide_]

The guy in the ditch got their numbers! 😂

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

[@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.

[@ArsenalFC-hp7xr]

Steve keeps it real and doesn't walk around like a bantam rooster.

[@EvelynC-z1e]

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

[@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😊

[@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!

Hey Luke. Thanks for putting the metric temps and speeds etc in the video. I really appreciate it. Wish more YTers would think of their non-US viewers. 👍

[@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.❤️

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@christopherosullivan3208]

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

[@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!

[@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.

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.

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.

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!

[@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!

Dude, that sounds like the start of a Penthouse forum letter.😁

[@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.

[@rosebarbaric]

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

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!

When winter hits, I put some genuine survival items in my car trunk, in case I have to set up camp on the other side of a guardrail if I get stuck in a pile up on a snowy highway up in the mountains. Maybe Luke will show us what he carries in his truck on long winter travels. In this video I would hope that he has a chainsaw for clearing downed trees and limbs on remote backwoods roads.

I got into camping after hurricane Ian and haven't looked back since. We went 2 weeks without any power or running water and both my 7 year old son and myself absolutely loved it which surprised me since he couldn't use any electronics. We try to go as much as possible and besides food, our dirt bikes the only other thing we take is my phone in case of emergencies.

[@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)

Did anyone else see the purple and white flower cross hanging from the tree at 47:06? Did someone recently die there on that road? It was near that washed out section of the road that had the orange plastic fencing around it.

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 😅
