Winter Storm Assault - Snow Camping in the Remote Mountains Alone

[@patchoulimommy420]

2023 i relapsed .. But as of today im 25 days opiate free!! Your videos help me so much an one day i wanna travel in an RV of some sort and camp all over America..

[@johnbuterbaughsr.933]

Congrats !! Lose your old friends and habits and you'll be successful. Best of luck 🙏✌️

[@lindahope981]

I wanna say I'm so proud of you My 17 yr old son died from an accidental H. OD. May you always be protected and blessed by our God Almighty 😊

[@JudyMcCullar]

I enjoy your show. I'm 78 yr old and can't get out much. Your show is one I look forward to. Keep putting out videos

[@eon7125]

Dearest Luke...I always look forward to you’re adventures..thank you soo much..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

For me, I am grateful to be up and running. This time last year the tumor in my head quietly upgraded itself from a decade old grade 2;to an honest to goodness grade 3. But I’m still here, fighting the good fight.🤙

[@dougpringle8938]

The ice and snow on the trees makes a beautiful scene. But the wind wouldn't be so nice. Another great adventure

[@briantheminer]

The morning snow scenes were fantastic, thanks for taking us along Yes equipment costs are way beyond a lot of us, nice to see it tested though

[@Cookerab]

Frozen rain / ice is so beautiful. Id never get camp set up because of all of the photography...

[@reinenruud390]

I’m going on a 3 day hike with friends tomorrow. Will also have freezing temperatures. This vid got me in the mood! 🔥

[@SorenOutDoors]

I love when you put this calm music in the start of your video it adds alot to the whole vibe.

[@suemoenius5619]

Enjoying this so much ! I love these adventures. For one thing I've spent the last year recovering from brain surgery. Surgery full of good news and for a grandma whodjust retired, I love much about my new life---except my sense of balance, which is returning so slow. Love to see you moving so freely. Thing that is great is seeing new gear, too. I'm temporarily "camping" out in my recliner. Fireplace in case of New England ice storm.. basically I prepare a checklist as if I'm camping out each week, which gives me some self-sufficiency. And I'm getting better. My goal is to camp out for at least 1 night this summer. The icing on the top of everything is the beauty of the nature videography you share. Thank you so much!

[@Diana-andre2018]

Good evening Luke, you were just speaking about your mess up of 2023. I had a good one myself! Just started running along the sea front where I live, must have run about half a kilometre, when I caught my trainers on the cobbles and went flying. Managed to break my right shoulder, plus a few minor injuries, out of action for nearly 4 months, had to cancel a couple of road races, not able to work, and all my own fault 😔 and kept beating myself up about it. Best wishes to you and your family for 2024.

[@deekelley891]

Diana, you are just human -please don’t feel bad when a true accident happens. Instead think of how long you’ve gone without one! What a blessing! We all trip, stumble, get knocked off balance by a pet, etc. sorry your accident was so impactful, but glad you ultimately healed and can look forward to new adventures.

[@workingfolk]

I feel your pain. Literally, though it is my ankle. I'm beating myself up too, for going outside wearing sneakers with no tread in the winder.

[@Diana-andre2018]

@@deekelley891 I thank you for your very kind words, very much appreciated 😊

[@Diana-andre2018]

@@workingfolkthank you for your reply and I hope you recover soon, I’ve heard broken ankles are extremely painful, 🥺

[@Steven-js8yk]

Luke has so much experience downrange and he has truly tested and vetted all of his gear to the point he can easily survive conditions that would be the end of most of us. Luke is a 110% percenter. I wish he was training our light Infantry.

[@lindawoods6841]

Hello Luke,, you always set up the best camps and camping spots.. the snow is awesome and thank you so much for sharing...

[@Queltonn]

Hi! I'am kelly joining your fabulous channel from here, the canary islands.I never went camping but watching you I am thinking about doing it. Keep at it cause I will be watching all your adventures!!!!😊

[@SgtFluffytheoriginal]

Some of the most favorite part of these are the mixing of the Coffees. I always expect some special reaction to them mixing.

[@sassylady2001]

Such beautiful photography. I love the beauty of the white snow on the black trees - such a contrast. Such detail - it's amazing. Thank you for doing such a great job for us to enjoy.

[@Jimmynitro76]

Thanks Luke for the wonderful videos on both channels, they have been very beneficial for my healing process from my recent surgery on Monday. As silly as it sounds your videos really do help me to relax and just chill while I'm recovering.

[@louiselaird540]

Hope your surgery went well

[@suzisaintjames]

Luke, I didn't know you had another channel. You should tell people and list it in the description. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@browsman2328]

So glad that Luke tests out all the hiking gadgets because I am a hiking gadget freak, although I don’t backpack anymore, just day hikes. Hang in there Luke and keep testing.

[@karenjohnson3832]

? Why do you put your tent so far from the tarp wind break? Really enjoy your videos. Have you seen the three second tent? Wonder how long it really takes looks nice & easy.

[@erichartwell1899]

@@karenjohnson3832 was wondering that myself. i get the whole dnt cook where you sleep and dnt store your food there either if your in bear country. but why wouldnt he park it closer for a wind break. i get sometimes the terrain isnt perfect and you just cant. i would try to put the opening on one side of the tarp and inward so the rain or snow stays out.

[@vempriex]

@@erichartwell1899 : Ditto!

[@freezinweasle1]

Hoar frost on the way in was pretty. We have all had those whoops or more precise, Oh Crap moments. Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe and God bless.

The trusty Stanley Cookset!!! Legendary

[@adamlake8361]

The woods look so beautiful with ice all over!

[@markthomas2436]

I like that tent, and I like that company. It IS made well, and it IS the right color.

[@whbjr2528]

I like that that backpack opens all the way up

[@futuresonex]

Been there, done that with my truck, but a quality aftermarket bumper with a Warn winch & a couple of auxiliary lights would add to both the value and the utility of the Tundra. You never know when a good winch can really save the day, and it looks good too!

[@janetpugliesi3203]

Luke.. love how you say 20 is breezy 😂😊😅. In my book that is darn right ❄️🥶!!The scenery today with the light snow ❄️ on the trees is so pretty..

[@mudsslinger]

Glade to see the Stanley 2 cup cook set get some love , one of my most favorite pieces of kit .

[@kulsaul]

Happy New year Luke and everyone else. I need to catch up to more reviews. I've slipped and missed quite a bit. I know Luke get many texts ect. I know he won't read my texts. But for those that do? I love his trips. I don't think I will ever do this. I don't drive. I have no gear or money to do this. I have serious health issues from having prostate cancer for a second time. But watching Luke is all I need. So exciting watching him or Susie. I just turned 60 Jan 4th and hopefully get a camping trip in the near future. When Luke has breakfast, lunch or dinner he makes me hungry with those meals. I'm a chef I can make these things. But also when Luke has his coffee I need to brew up my decaffeinated coffee for myself and join him 😃☕  Not too long ago I purchased their cap "Strength and Honor" I love his Moto....I think that's what it's called? Well another episode watched I'll check out previous videos I skipped or missed. Strength and Honor everyone and of course our great friend Luke & Susie ❤❤❤❤❤

[@bartcutler5195]

I noticed your water bottle.Thanks to a gear review you did, I know have my own Hardside Nalgene bottle system. I have the insulated sleeve as well. No more bladders that can get gross. Thank you!

[@er5406]

I figured out another suggestion for those TEMU heating pads. Cut the toe out of a pair of socks. Pull one of the socks over your water bottle, then pull the other sock over the first sock and slide the heaters in at the bottom. Voila….an emergency water bottle defrost and you can still use the heaters for other purposes.

[@judylovick4231]

Very good idea

[@RGVPatriot-360POV-nz1yk]

Hi everyone!! I rarely post, but couldn’t help it this time. I’m by no means any type of backpacker or camper albeit would luv to be. My only skill with anything similar was my enlistment in US Army. So, here’s my thought regarding some comments about a frozen water bottle. As long as it didn’t burst you can still melt the ice inside it by suspending it over the heat above the fire. As close to BUT without burning or melting the water bottle. But as someone suggested, melting snow and placing the the water bottle in boiling snow water is prob the easiest. Luke, love your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing. Sorry about your truck but there are worse things that can happen. (I was in a motorcycle accident years ago. Had a nice touring bike BUT was overloaded and had to come to a really quick stop. Got down to slow enough speed but lost traction & lost control of the bike. Totaled it. Result: wife fractured a wrist, knee. I fractured a thumb and a toe. No one else hurt thank God. No one to blame but myself. Hard lesson learned. ) Be safe everyone God Bless.

[@Mike89138]

Always appreciate the videos. The thumbnail on this one reminded me of Fiddler on the Roof. "If I were a rich man..🎶🎶.".

[@galbraith2]

You’ve always had a good eye for camera angles and transitions. I’m not sure if you’re studying or just getting better, but I have noticed that the production skills on this video is top notch. Kudos my friend.

Love your video. Wishing for some eastern snow. I know you're enjoying that scenery and weather, look sooooo peaceful.

[@MBFavazza]

Enjoy your videos. I can't imagine myself intentionally camping in the snow, but then you're doing it for me. 😂 stay safe and stay warm. BTW, just an fyi, its pronounced "bolo-nays". 😊

[@ママチャリ原付キャンパー薄荷]

I liked your camping.🏕️ I enjoy camping in Japan, too.🇯🇵 Your video gave me a hint! I appreciate splendid camping.☺️

[@richarddaugherty8583]

Thanks, Luke, for sharing that trip! A little perspective for you: if that's the worst mistake you've made this year, you're doing well! I'm 67, and one thing I've learned is to fund an emergency savings account. My financial guy wanted me to have $20K in it before retiring. I was able to do better than that. Now when stuff breaks it's not nearly as stressful as when I was younger and didn't have that. It was always, great, where am I going to get the money for this? Now, I've replaced a range (due to an oven fire which was quickly extinguished), multiple washing machines, a dryer, etc. Then you replenish the fund over time. It really makes dealing with life's little surprises a lot easier! Love your videos! I find them very educational.

[@MichaelMartin-rw5fi]

Excellent video! I bought the Stanley pot n cup at Walmart for 10 bucks 10 years ago and it's still my "go-to" coffee maker

Lol...I'm 48 and only been in one accident that was my fault. I was having a really bad day. Know what you mean. I try to be a perfectionist especially at driving. That's the one thing I'm good at. The videos you post just keep getting better.

Absolutely love the snow! And of course cold goes along with it. Thanks for taking us along love your solo hikes!

[@brendabinczewski7624]

Very relaxing video. Everyone has one of those days. I usually know mine when I keep dropping stuff. As soon as I get up I’m dropping something than I know how my day will be. My husband will say well that makes three times you dropped something. I just laugh because I know it’s going to get better.

[@The_Don_TV]

Nice camping trip and good talk. Beautiful snowy landscape in the morning 😎

[@srpeters]

Liked seeing the Stanley kit and BCB being used. My go to kit., but of course I like old school too. I use the Firedragon tabs. I located some dirt cheap. They do put out some good heat.

[@Stevej2013]

Love it Luke. If I had snow near me I would do the same. That place looks great for sleeping in a hammock.

[@JanStewart590]

Hi Luke, you always remind me of the simple things in life to enjoy like the sound of the rain, thunder storm, wildlife sounds and even the perfect snowflake. The best things in life are free we just need to reminds ourselves where to look. This area you're in is beautiful with the snow trying to land and stay and very cold, but you always have the right supplies with you to handle it. What's the worst environment / area and climate you've ever camped in whether it be cold or hot weather? Moreover, what's the best cold or hot?

[@vivianchase-williams8508]

I enjoy watching these videos. I was never a camping camper. My body was built for comfort. I’ll just stay in the RV. What about an old-fashioned hot water bottle? You could just recycle the water back-and-forth. Heat it use the bottle then reheat the water again.

[@jameslashley3970]

Luke, in the south, it's Breakfast, dinner and supper. Enjoy your videos .

[@debbiecampbell554]

I appreciate your observation of the snowflake, they are beautiful!

[@gud2go50]

Make sure you leave your water bottle upside down so it freezes from the bottom up. I learned this the hard way in Greenland with an unsympathetic Dutch major who did not share his water with me at the time! He said, you will know better next time, Vheels (my nickname)! Lol, now!

Happy New Year to you and yours. Thank you for all you have done and going to do. Love your videos. Blessings

[@workingfolk]

My old farmhouse property adjoins a state park and a trail head is a few hundred feet from my front porch. Right before Christmas, I went out to the mailbox and when I was there, thought I'd just take a quick check to see how muddy the trail was since I planned a Christmas day hike. Took just a step or two on the trail wearing sneakers with no tread, slipped on a bit of frost, twisted my foot and broke my fibula right at the ankle joint. Otherwise it was a great year!

[@azclaimjumper]

I chose the Hilleberg Enan for my 5-Star Shelter out in the boonies rather than the Akto, for the same reasons you mentioned. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

[@jimbo92107]

Luke, I just tried something for the first time: making Taster's Nasty with cold water. I was shocked by how good it tasted. My guess is that the volatile compounds that usually evaporate when you make it hot remain in the brew when it's cold, adding flavor. You might try this while camping in warm weather, or try using just warm water when the temperature is lower. Cheers, buddy!

[@cwwcww7465]

Luke, If you haven't fixed your bumper yet.... Check out the Toyota specific ARB bumbers .... You can also color match those to your factory color as well... And they absolutely do not lower the value of a pickup. Especially a tundra like yours.... Winch capable as well... Just a thought....

[@angelusway]

My biggest messup, like you, involved my 2008 Toyota Tacoma Offroad(my baby). On 101 just inside LA, towing my Scamp 13’. To avoid merging cars who don’t merge but speed up. I reacted badly and scuffled with a car in the other lane. My fault but thank thr Good Lord no one was hurt. Off to the repair it goes. Stay safe out there Great video🤙

Hi Luke. If ever you're out in the pick-up, and you set up rent near by, if you have an tyre rim (steel if possible) drop a few pieces of wood in the middle and have a cracking fire 🔥 it's a great fire pit.

[@johngalt6929]

It's another "adventure" where we once again watch someone make instant coffee and then pour hot water into a bag. Good thing the "storm" turned out to be only a dusting of snow and the wind didn't devastate acres and acres of forest.

[@deekelley891]

You didn’t have to watch it-we chose to. I enjoyed it very much-because I like Luke, backpacking, camping, gear and snow. Just because it’s not a hurricane doesn’t mean it’s not a storm-just ask the Weather Channel.

Think I’ll watch this in bed tonight. I love these types of videos. Especially in the cold weather. I’ve never actually been camping in any shape or form and I actually would love to do it. I know lots are put off by the cold but that kinda appeals to me. Getting inside sleeping bag and getting warm, while it’s pissing down outside of tent, is soothing for me.

Get out there. With the right gear it can be fun.

I camped in that storm, unplanned and unexpected until it was too late. Snow changed to freezing rain few times, and it sucked. Fun as hell, but with a family, it was a struggle. I'm still drying my gear out.
