Everyone please remember he has to make most of this climb three times. Once to set the camera once to make the climb then again to go back after the camera. Luke you are a maniac buddy!!!
I always think, "Man...he goes up to set up the camera, goes back to record, then goes back to grab it then goes back up..." Unreal...
.. If he was smart ,, he would do these with Susie ,, He could film her ahead,, then just catch up ..... besides she's ,,well Susie ..... then we all win ..... Luke included .. (although he already has) ....
Simply amazing, now if we could only get at least 1 other UA-camr to do anything close to that
It’s not that great of camera work!
@@markodell5466 what video are you watching Mr. Spielberg
Storm camping is the best camping. For those of us who are homebound right now due to physical issues, your adventures become our adventures. Thank you for taking me along!
Exactly 💯. I'm new to his channel and enjoy watching them at night , they help me to sleep .

Couldn’t agree with you more. 50 years ago you couldn’t keep me away from camping in a thunderstorm.
Nail on the head.
@@CryMeARiver63 o
When I went to pick up my Hilux Surf, Dan and Paul at Japanese Classics were surprised about how high quality your videos are.
I thought "Luke must be one humble dude if he didn't even mention his UA-cam".
You make your videos the way Les Stroud does -- walk up, set camera, walk away, walk back, fetch camera, walk away again, and again, and again...lol. All by yourself. It's impressive, and the finished product really shines for it.
5 years ago my autistic son and I became homeless. So we went "camping" for 3 months. These videos helped me through many nights. Gave me great ideas. Y'all were lifesavers and you didn't even know it. May God bless y'all.
God bless you
I sincerely hope you and your are doing well
Hoping you and your son are in a pretty "place"❤❤
Luke...I'm not a camper, but I so enjoy laying down at night and watching your videos. They are so relaxing and wholesome! Thanks!
That’s how I feel watching from the UK.
Yes! I want to see a Susie video! I love it when she goes camping! It's nice to see other women camping. And she is so informed and intelligent when she does her videos. Please ask her to make a video for your channel. yay!
Oklahoma here!! 60 yr old Oklahoma gal !!😊 I always enjoy your videos!! Thank you for sharing your time! Also please tell your daughter thank you for her service!! My husband is a 20 ur Army Vet who is still helping our military from All over !! I’m sure your quite proud of her!! Love how you tell about everything you use while camping!! Your always a joy and a blessing!! Keep on keepin on doing what makes your heart smile!! Love From Oklahoma!! Where the wind comes sweeping down the plains!!😊💞
The best camping trip is when you get set up before the storm hits, enjoy the storm, cook in between waves of the storm, and then the storm ends early enough that everything is dry when you break camp. It rarely happens, but it's so great when it does.
Luke your videos are the only YT videos I truly look forward to watching. Your attitude is such a breath of fresh air.
BRR. Like many others, I live my camping vicariously through you. I can practically feel the cold. Great vlog.
Always nice to see an outdoorsman/woman, who hikes out, sets up and spends time outside. So many channels show a guy or gal with some transiting shots, set up. a pan of the location, then the ENTIRE video is them inside the tent in a bag and cooking in the vestibule. Then they wake up, pack up and leave. Luke is actually outside in the weather and talking to us about gear, family, food and environment, which is appreciated. It's maddening to see a 20, 30 or 40 minute video of a dude spending 9 hours inside a hoop tent. Why camp if you refuse to be outdoors? Thank you TOGR for the adventures and the reviews.
Hi Luke all the way from South Africa. I really like watching your adventurers. My husband will joke whenever he hears me watching your videos and say are you camping again. It really feels like I am with you guys. Thank you. Alwaniese
Luke, I know you probably get these messages all the time, but I can’t go without saying I really appreciate your honesty!!! You are top notch, and I love watching your content-mostly when you are just talking and being real! You are very appreciated and needed!!!!!!!
Yep
His honesty is top Notch.
My go to channel when Purchasing Gear. His Reviews are Real.👍
@@MarkShelby2025
Just started watching Lukes channel...& i ❤ it...& i've never camped in my life maybe one day i'll try it 🤣🤣
Me too!!
I used to be a "super cold weather camping" kinda dude... "used to be", that's the key phrase there. The older I get, the colder I get. I just CANNOT HANDLE that cold weather like I used to when I was younger.
I've lost a lot of weight in recent years & gained some (extra serious) health problems, so I'm sure that has something to do with it as well. Man I really miss the cold stuff thou. No bugs out, not as many ppl out, not as many predators out, no sweating. Just pushing myself to the limit of survival. A whole lotta fun, but my body just can't cut it anymore. Gotta play it like I'm smart or somethin & be careful these days 😂
Great video & an awesome little spot, thanks for sharing it 👍
good warm and the storms at night like almost every single night
I was nodding my head when you talked about going uphill versus down my knees agree with you.
Helikon-Tex is about all I wear. Pants and jackets of all varieties. Love their stuff.
I’m not sure what is about your videos but whenever I watch I start out just watching. About halfway through, I’m putting on a sweatshirt and socks. Next thing I know, I’m under at least one blanket and by the end I’m looking for a hat and that is all from my recliner. Guess that means they are incredibly realistic. Thanks for the adventure. Keep on keeping on.
😂😂
I wanted you to know that, because of channels like yours...... not like there are any channels like yours. It has gotten me to get out and explore, not only my area, but new places to hike and camp out. You have taught me a lot about the outdoors. Safety being one of the main things. So I wanted to thank you for all your amazing content. Looking forward to what 2023 brings.
Much respect Luke.
nothing better than naming the 4wd drive Ol Betsy. Betsy never lets ya down.
I don't camp, but find Luke's video's fascinating. Thanks Luke for all you do.
You can camp and not even leave home. You don't need a fire pit. Make or buy a stick stove or butane stove. There cheap. A cheap tarp and if there is mosquitoes? A mosquito net. The cushions from a couch work better than any camp mat. I could go on but i think you understand that the imagination is a good tool. Plus collecting the stuff to go camping is the best part. A seance of accomplishment. What dose one get from camping? Because your roughing it. Because not one thing is at your finger tips. Because you have to work at it to make it work. All of that. Makes home seem so much better. The hot shower. The microwave. The oven. The heat or the air conditioning. When you get home and unpack. Nothing will bother you. Not even the kids fighting . Thats what makes camping so worth it. Then there is the pictures or memory of what you did experience that makes it worth it. I recommend all to camp even if its at the park. Less stress as well when you get back home. Even if its your back yard that you camp in.
@@aaronzierke9920 Thank you. I needed to hear that. I watch Luke's video's all the time and just love it. I camped as a kid, and loved the rain hitting the tent.
I have much respect for you. Thank you sir for all that you do. I think we have a similar mindset. God bless you and your family

You make all of this look so easy. The best thing is your positive attitude. The bad weather better hide when it sees you coming. Stay safe young man and we look forward to your future adventures!!
Thank you Luke for taking us along on your adventures. You represent what many of us recognize as strength and honor. I see now that those words are deep in your soul.
From someone who has not gone camping , But wants too. I have learn so much from you. My husband is handicap. We do plan on camping sometime, but not without him watching some of these vlogs. Because after he has healed from His back surgery we will go out for several days. Fun city. Thank you a lot!!
My husband and I watch you all the time. We love you Luke and thank you or your service .
I started watching your videos a few weeks ago.. they are great..watched a few from 5 years ago and discovered we are almost neighbors.. Blountville Tn near Bristol motor speedway..keep up the great work...
I am not an outdoors man ill be the first to admit, but there is something extremely relaxing about these videos. Seems like a real nice guy as well!
Very good! Love the patter of the rain on the tent. Semper Fi!
Luke, Put a drop of super glue on the knots of your pulls. That will solve the problem of coming undone. Love your channel.
Great presentation of the information 😀🎈. Thanks again for sharing this with me 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍. Hello from Indiana USA and this 62 year old lady ❤❤❤❤.
I always seem to enjoy your "shout outs".
Warm Regards from Reno Nevada.
My favorite part of Cours is always hearing the rain on the tent. love that sound
Tks for all you do Luke....keep on keeping on...100^...we appreciate your hard work ..your a good guy and ramp it up bro..haha on to the next adventure bro!!! 😎 Strength & Honor my American cousin....🇨🇦
I absolutely love watching these videos in rain, sleet, and snowstorms and how they are handled. Love your unbiased reviews of the equipment as well.
I always find your cold weather camping very interesting, mostly because I live in a very hot and humid environment in Australia's Northern Territory! Our seasons are opposite to yours which means your winter is our summer......but we don't have summer in the Northern Territory....we have Build Up and then Wet Season. It is basically too hot and humid to camp at this time of year....like,really hot and humid....if it is not raining, it will be around 35c with close to 90% humidity! Very hard to sleep!
"FIND A WAY".... Absolutely perfect ending. Great video and if you come back out on the SOBX, give us a yell!
Previous Cruiser owner. Called mine LAND CRUSHER. ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS A BUNCH. WISH I WASN’T almost 71 as I so enjoyed four wheeling and camping when in late teens and early twenty’s. Keep up the great videos. Be careful. Be safe.
I LIKE THIS TENT.... 💥💥
Love your sense of humor!!!
69 years old and I HATE going down stairs but have no issue at all going up those same stairs, so I sympathize, Luke.
A good tip for these zipper pulls.
Use a piece of shrink wrap tube to secure them. Will stay in place for years.
I don't know how much post editing you do on your videos but the colors (the soil, the leaves) during the morning rain are so nice.
Great video, thanks 👍
Ever think about camping up here in new England?? Lots of great places to visit and breathtaking views!! 😀
Excellent Storm Camping Adventure
Your review of the Carinthia Defence 4 sleeping bag is the reason I purchased thd bag for my stepson for Christmas. I wanted to get a great sleeping bag and thanks to you, I did. Thank you for all you do!
Storm camping in your living room is fun. 😂
you make such a good point it’s not always fun but something about the fulfillment that’s keeps you thriving and that’s what life is about, not living but thriving
My resolution is to grow closer to God and leave my past behind me and not drag it along with me. I want to get out and start camping and enjoying nature. Your videos give me inspiration! Keep ‘em coming brother!! Happy new year and God bless!!
Okami is wolf in Japanese. That name fits perfect to that vehicle. 👌
I would LOVE to go camping with a woodburning stove tent IN THE SNOW, but I live in TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
So lucky to be able to do what most of use can only dream of, thanks for letting us enjoy
Good stuff Luke, ty for posting.
The corded pulls came undone on our military tents as well. They always came off our sleeping bags. They really were really useless. Most the time we replaced them with 550 cord. Most everything we had came from the lowest bidder anyways lol
The inside of that tent looks amazing. You are correct I am also surprised more tent companies don't copy the same lite fighters cold weather kit concept.
Just came back from Big Bend National Park. Was a great trip one in which tested my 2016 Toyota 4 Runner which did great on the back roads. It is beautiful rugged country mountains up to around 8,000 ft.. This time of year is cooler without the wet that happens during the spring months. Summer is hot 110 or better at times. Trees are non extant but the wild life and the lack of light makes the night time outstanding for star gazing. We did not do primitive camping, not my Wife's cup of tea but I would in a second. Just know you have to make reservations to camp and I can bet your new Toyota would be perfect for the off road trails. As well there are hiking trails too numerous to count. The best of both worlds of primitive camping.
On another note, watch just about everything you put out. Looks like a lot of work doing all that by yourself. Thanks for the reviews.
Thank you for another great video
Bustelos is my absolutely favorite. I make a coffee with 3 packets each morning.
I really appreciate these videos. I miss the outdoors and tent camping. Unfortunately my bad back and legs prevent me from being out there any longer. I am definitely living vicariously through your videos though. Keep up the excellent content!
Yes!! A trip with Susie, please and thank you. Another fabulous video, Luke. Thanks, for all you do.
Strength and honor that was today's lesson everyday's lesson thanks Luke see you on the road
You hardly ever build a fire anymore. That’s the best thing of camping.
I love to watch you out camping. Me and my husband are getting to old to go. We love watching you and your wife when she goes with you. Take care and God bless you and your family.
You need to call the Land Cruiser ...
"The Mistress".
So you can cake the mistress out for the night or the weekends for some fun...
I camp in my backyard with my little dog...lol
really enjoy your channel keep it up Luke
Hi Luke I’m finally come back to watch it I’ve been pretty busy but I’m back now I will and I love to listen to your voice and watch you cook and just to rain I hope your families doing well your friend Valerie Durr❤
Freezing rain storm! I can’t watch this until afternoon coffee time!
Luck, you got great talent of filming short films. It is always a pleasure to watch those small stories. All the best to you!
I have been watching some Korean and Japanese's campers and they have luxury tents that sleep many people with beds. They have some great car camping stuff that would fit your Japanese car great.
Luke please take care of your body. Please start seeing an orthopedic doctor about your knees. The earlier you star receiving treatment the for your knees the longer you will be able to enjoy your passion for the outdoors.
Love your videos and keep on trekking
But can you afford that in the US?
I can and Luke probably can also.
Hey Luke👍👍 No need to worry about critters coming around, they know when to hunker down😉 Liking that tent but at 6'5" I'm afraid it's too small, bummer as it looks decent. Knowing what the weather was supposed to do, I'd have brought two stoves(different types), 2 is 1 and 1 is none mantra... Like watching you continuously put yourself through hell on these windy, rainy adventures. Gotta give you credit for having the fortitude to keep on getting out there. Thanks for the hard work and bringing me along. Enjoy!
Funny you should mention the hard work of recording your adventures. People probably don’t realize every time you walk by, to or away from your camera you have to off camera retrieve it! Steep climb? Yeah a specially when you do parts of it twice😂 Great videos keep up the great work!
I'm an experienced camper, but for the people who are new to camping, you might want to explain to them how to use the bathroom in the woods camping where there is not one available. Like digging a hole near something to put your back against.
I always just take a lighter to the cordage knots on my steaks or tent zippers to help mend them together. keeps that knot from coming lose!🤘🏻 hope you had great holidays! As always keep up the great work! You're videos are some of mine and my fiancé favorites to watch! 😎😁🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hi Luke, I have been watching and enjoying Yours and Suzie's Adventures. I think you should name your new ride. The Ghost Rider! Keep doing Good camp out and Adventures. Happy New Year. "2023"
Mochi is a rice-sweet treat and perfect for your Land Cruiser name. Recouping from surgery, your adventure feels healing to me. May your adventures continue to be exciting and healing in 2023!
I love this guy and his videos. He will live forever! I am 71 and stopped camping many years ago but I love watching what he does. So much fun
I always enjoy these adventures, I'd love to see another adventure from Susie too. 👍
You probably been asked already but have you thought about taking them knots and burning the ends together ?
Love these stormy weather camp videos. ⛺️👍🏼
Outstanding episode. I really like your explanations of why you choose one camp layout over another, one piece of gear over another, etc. The peace and quiet of your campsite was great too. Thanks for the great video!
My wife and I always went camping in January or February. We always had the campground to ourselves and if the lakes were froze over the sounds at night ate unbelievably other worldly
Happy new year from the UK. Love your videos and look forward to you and Suzie being back out together. Just wanted to say I can definitely tell you have been working out, you have put on some bulk x
Yes I purchased this complete system off your recommendation !! Works great no problems👍👍.
Well done Sir
I appreciate how straightforward you are, especially when it comes to reviews. You don't play!
Being from South Florida I can camp anywhere down there and be ok.
Born and raised in the Florida environment one is instilled with a healthy respect for what to expect from nature.
But being new to the mountains and its environments it is natural to want to explore during all the seasons.
I would love to camp and trail here in north Carolina with my kids.
Since I first came here 2 years ago you were the one that I came across on you tube and you are the only one I can trust to listen to.
I respect all your information and teachings. So therefore I will wait patiently and learn all I can before venturing outdoors.
So for now kinda looks like it's gonna be a pup tent next to the mobile home and a direct line to the front door in case the wrong type of wild beast gets too close. 😂
Have a great new year and keep on teaching us the great things you do.
Thanks for the strength and honor.
Happy New Year to all. Wet weather IS camping weather. Thanks for bringing us along.
The best part is watching the rain fall in the forest and the sound of raindrops falling on the tent, great video 💚
Id like to see you take one of your buddies on one of those adventures
Luke I am glad there is always a video of yours to watch.
Our Christmas was very, very cold were -5 with wind chill - 50 so we stay indoors. Hope you have a great Christmas, love from western NEW YORK ❤️
Great video luke! nice to see you again
for the land cruiser you should name it the black pearl is really suits it like the cheap in pirates of the Caribbean old but powerful and beautiful 👌
Hi Luke, you just can beat the sound of rain pounding the flysheet. Thanks for sharing atb Taff 🤠👊
I love the Land Cruiser - I'd figure out the stove and sink and keep those original and in working order. I know you will keep them on hand in case you sell it one day - but I would make use of them now.
I like to watch these videos while eating dinner. So when you say cheers. I'm saying it back. LOL. 😁
Hi from Northern Ontario, Canada. Don't usually comment, but those zipper ties you mentioned. I'd retie them and use Fabric glue or Clear nail polish.😀. But believe me, I am no Camper. My idea of Camping is a Motel😂😂
😂😂✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
Luke; I hate to tell you this but you are crazy, nuts, daft and a few other things. Having said that, I love going on your adventures with you. Keep doing what you are doing as I have been a fan for a long time.
Having lived in eastern Tennessee I know what the weather is like in western NC. So just curious as to which county you're in. Stay safe out there.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY Luke thank you for sharing your adventures
I just turned 42. I also have a crooked back and was Army for 12 years so my back and knees are shot out pretty well. I don't mind up or downhill as much unless the uphill is SUPER steep. I also have mostly been using surplus gear, but lighten the load as much as I can. ALICE pack weighed in at 25lbs without my 1 gallon of water before my last trip. I also wear LBV which weighs about 10-15lbs.
I love hiking and camping. Been doing it all my life. I am looking at getting my weight down. My gear's weight also...
