38:18 Thanks for putting our LiteFighter 1 tent and Cold Weather Kit to the TOGR winter test. Thank you for doing all that you do for the outdoor community. We very much appreciate you! Also, nice tip on how to thaw out a frozen thermos. :D
Got a LiteFighter 1 tent off eBay and can't wait to use it after watching Luke's awesome reviews. Anxiously awaiting restock of the windbreaker kit. Cheers!
Good stuff. . . . I'd recommnd keeping essentials like your boots, inside of the tent. If you had an emergency, it's good to have everything that is essential right next to you. Ex's: a tent collapse due to a blown-down branch, heavy wind and snow (maybe not with your tent, but still possible in the right conditions); an intruder; a sudden, personal medical emergency; varmits chewing or even dragging off a boot; etc. . . . With everything right there next to you, you can A) keep it warmer and certainly drier, B) fully protect it, and C) quickly (and quietly) don your essential gear if/when needed.
I was in the military myself 42 year's ago! Army My husband is doing his 30 year's right now He will be finished by the end of this year. I can't wait to see him
There's always a great, honest feel to your videos. Some people enjoy nature only through you and lovely Suzie. Keep it up, my man. Cheers from Canada.
Beautiful place! Reminded me of when I worked as a City Letter Carrier for the USPS in Northern Illinois. Watching and listening to Luke talk about how you would be in a world of hurt if you were not as prepared as he was in that weather. Then I would think about all the days and years I carried mail in weather just like that and worse for six to seven hours at a time. You couldn't sort letters and flats with heavy gloves on and big coats. If you did wear heavy coats, you would sweat, (if you could build up anybody heat at all. If you sweat, you will only suffer even more. I couldn't cover my fingers and often couldn't feel my toes, ears, nose, and often my entire face. All the while, I had to carry as much as 65lbs from point to point, sometimes on ice, deep snow, heavy winds, and all the while trying not to fall. Remember to thank your letter carrier for their service. It will mean the world to them that someone cares. It shouldn't matter, but you might even get better mail service because of it.
Please don't apologize for the wind noise. That noise is music to my soul. A real comfort and a sound to fall asleep to. It takes me back 70+ years to my childhood in Northern Wisconsin and listening to the wind in the eaves as we would fall asleep. Thankyou. More snow and wind shots. Take peek at the Norwegian Xplorer and his shots of blizzards. Thanks again Luke.
Ex British soldier here ! I can whole Hartley recommend the old “basha” I left in 2003 and still have mine ,used it plenty of times as a roof over my shell scrape ,an extra shelter ,wind block in camp , I’ve used it to collect and haul massive logs ,and it’s always in the boot /trunk of my car as a protective liner when transporting big heavy loads of fire wood to protect my car It just won’t die ! ,it’s practically bomb proof and dirt cheap
The only way I enjoy winter is through you, Luke! 😁 I can see that you love it, but you save lives by doing what you love to do, you and Susie. You teach what HAS to be done to safely hike in ALL the conditions, but particularly in winter weather. Thank you for all you do! Stay safe, happy travels, be blessed.🙂
I love watching these videos. When I was 25 I got into the whole survival thing and it all started with a knife, lol. I would go outside everyday and practice fire making in the wind, rain, snow, ect. I would pitch a tent in my backyard or a tarp and my son would join me for the day and even the occasional night. Yeah, yard camping isn't the same as going into the bush, but I'm glad I did, I messed up a lot and some days I either froze or got soaked. I had to learn so why not start in the back yard. I progressed to going to a recreational park where I started building primitive shelters (with permission from the county parks department) and started to camp in my bushcraft/primitive shelters. I got so obsessed with it that I went out on every day off I had and I loved it. As of the past couple years my camping went from all the time to a few times a month and then a few times a year. My job had me working 6-7 days a week and 12 hours a day. Money was good but on my time off it was to recoup, spend time with my family and catch up on chores and other stuff. Last two years I have only camped twice, for deer camp but at least it was a week straight. Been wanting to go out so bad as I have a new job that offers much more time off and here I got slammed with covid. COVID caused some major issues as I have some major inflammation in my lower back causing a pinched nerve, my sciatica. I can barely get comfortable as my right leg just feels like it's on fire. Hard to sit, hard to walk, hard to do anything and going #2 in the bathroom, well it's a painful nightmare to say the least. Been home just trying to slowly stretch and recover. I must say, Luke, you're positive attitude really resonates with me and I can actually find some enjoyment throughout my day of pain. I appreciate it more than you know my friend. The work involved and the video quality is amazing. Watching this channel is giving me inspiration to try harder and to push myself harder to a fast and healthy recovery. My whole family will sit around the table at dinner and watch your videos with me, we all enjoy them. Strength and Honor my friend.
Hey Luke, I just wanted to say that you inspired me to start backpacking when I was about 14, I’m 19 now and am so glad I found your channel way back then or else I may have never started backpacking. Thanks man!
@Silver Dynasty bless you, I hope you’re able to get some help. I’m never alone because I have Jesus and I pray that you find him too because he’ll help you.. Prayers for you and your family x
Hey Luke, another great video. On behalf of all us Canadians, thanks for throwing up the temperature and wind conversion graphics. It really keeps us tied in to the story and we're not missing anything by trying to do the math in our head. This one looked like a lot of fun. Can't wait till the next one. Cheers!
On one hand, you're so awesome for going through the trouble to film these adventures for us... on the other I really use yours as motivations to get out and do things myself... I have no mountainous terrain around me, so i couldn't compete with your scenery, But i'm glued to every video of your overnighters.
😂 funny, but I think it’s maybe a Burmese word adopted by the Chindits fighting the Japanese during WWII. One of my local pubs is called “The Chindits” obviously set up by an ex- South Staffordshire Regiment soldier after the war. Chindit….also. Burmese word.
@@MurrayKerrPhotography It's actually an Indian word and used by the British Army since the days of the Indian Raj. Also still in use, by the older soldiers is the word dhobi, for clothes washing. Leads to dhobi dust, washing powder :-)
The sound is something else - cold, windy...you are so amazing to go out in that! It is so beautiful, so white with the contrasting grey and black of the trees, I've been waiting for your first winter storm video of this year, Jan 2021. So much better than all the nasty news on every TV channel. This is wonderful. Thank you.
Hello from Australia! I’m a long time viewer. I have a suggestion for your coffee situation. I recommend that you pour the instant coffee powder into cold water( a small amount- like a drop only) prior to pouring boiling hot water into it. This action somehow avoids the coffee going more bitter than it should. Try it out in your next adventure, I promise you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for the great vids you put out.
You remind me of myself when I was your age. I loved winter camping no amount of cold would keep me at home. Love your videos and look forward to many more.
Luke is the best..I have watched hundreds of hours of his adventure..He reminds me when i was a kid and my adventures in the woods sleeping and making forts. Eating from the land, and a lot of hotdogs and potatoes...So cool..
This has to be the dumbest part of the whole video! You're in a forest with dead limbs all around you and you can't find firewood? And you have no axe, no saw and no knife large enough? Is this a joke or what? This is when I quit watching.
Oh man. That cold was going through My bones just watching you. You gotta have a real passion for being out there like that. Major props to you Luke 👍🙏🏽
Brilliant Luke.... the tent worked well, the snow loading on the trees looked incredible....your a master at creating videos... thanks for excellent production...
Luke, This was one of the best introductions to a video that I have seen on youtube. You set the entire tone of the video in the first 30 seconds. Outstanding job sir!! Thank you for sharing!!
Hey Luke, this is by far probably my favorite video of yours to date! Love the camo gear. Your videos have helped me to last longer and survive better in inclement weather and harsh conditions especially in the winter, as I am security (not saying for who or where I am, or anything) in Canada, and often I find myself outside with no shelter, or heat or anything overnight alone. I've learned to improvise shelters and utilitize thermal gear and packs. Thank you for all you do!
Luke your a legend, love you/family and your channel. My son and I watch all your videos and I’ve even bought some gear that you reviewed (the good stuff) strength and honour my friend 🇬🇧
Thanks Luke. I just ordered the Winter kit for my Lightfighter tent. Also ordered the ground sheet. I have two lightfighter 1 tents Coyote tan and OCP. Can’t wait to try it this winter. Thanks
You look so nice and bundled up, ready to go on an adventure. I love your videos. Keep them coming. I feel like I'm right there with you. Thank- you so much for inviting me along with you.
I'm originally from northern New York State. I lived 4 years in the Hendersonville NC area. I was surprised how cold it gets there. Nothing like the great Lakes region and definately nowhere close to the amount of snow but certainly cold enough to kill a man in a few hours.
Great adventure Luke! This one had an awesome vibe to it and you can tell it was damn cold! You're a true mountain man. Thanks for another great escape for those of us stuck in the city.
Luke iam a 63 year old grandmother not that fit but aways love camping out still do,I love your channel wish I could do what you do you always give me great idea's thank you sweety keep safe x ❤
This looked like a great trip. I know what you mean, sometimes not fun to just be confined to the tent. The non-windy days in winter really are a blessing. Nice video!! -Steve
Huge props on the production quality, especially audio. You should wild track that beautiful atmospheric sound. People listen to that kinda sound in the millions each night. ASMR forest night, etc. Many are short loops but you could record overnight!
The Basha is an amazing bit of kit, durable, windproof and waterproof. I recommend using elastic bungee cords (need about 5 or 6) as they are invaluable for pitching quickly in an A-Frame or any other configuration you need to suit). Thanks for posting, stay safe and all the best, Nick
This is probably my favorite of all your Winter storm videos, it did look like torture to produce (you looked frozen) but I loved it, thank you for making these videos. The howling winds, the light surrounded in grey fog, I enjoyed this video a lot.
Thank you so much Luke! I am too old to hike anymore but still car camp. Live in Southern Arizona so not much of a winter here. Coldest for me was 19. Used a collapsible wood stove you reviewed and recommended It worked great as a little personal campfire. Much peace and happiness to you and Sussie!
Hi bud love your videos , I'm a real life hobo in the UK and use military surplus gear all year round all though not as cold here but definitely wet and cold enough to kill ya and my setup does quite well thank god for the U.S military modular sleep system
Finally! A no bs survival Channel that speaks plain English that I understand. Moreover, tells so much truth in bushcraft, even going as far as admitting when he's edited something.
@@PiscatorLager because you are so organised and so very knowledgeable regarding the realities of survival in extreme conditions and lastly physically fit. I would feel more than safe camping with you as a guide. I love your humour too. Thankyou
Brother your channel is outstanding, am teaching my grandson about the outdoors and all it has to offer. I am former military and retired 38 year law enforcement. My health seems to be going south so I intend to use your channel as a training tool for my grandson. Thanks for your support of our military. You have a brother in NC!
they still have to meet the specifications, and they aren't always the lowest bidder. It's value, not cost that wins contracts. Very big difference between the two. . The military is a pretty tough customer. I used to work for one of the largest military contractors (we supplied weapons and defense systems) and let me tell you that they are stringent about their quality control. The things the military would reject it for were mindbogling sometimes.
@@mikel9567 I think it depends on what they are procuring. They get some pretty extensive procurement processes (1000 page RFP) going for software, computerized weapons systems and the like. Day to day materials are kind of a different story (it's hugely variable - unit to unit, org to org, country to country). That said... its just an old saying from Nam (I think) and things were a lot different then.

Ex British soldier here ! I can whole Hartley recommend the old “basha”
I left in 2003 and still have mine ,used it plenty of times as a roof over my shell scrape ,an extra shelter ,wind block in camp , I’ve used it to collect and haul massive logs ,and it’s always in the boot /trunk of my car as a protective liner when transporting big heavy loads of fire wood to protect my car
It just won’t die ! ,it’s practically bomb proof and dirt cheap
I like to find one in British cars but I'm not sure if you can find them in the United States or not
Great for a casevac as well as a roof. Left in 16, nothing changed with them!
Those who thumbed down don't realize how hard this is. I'm not talking about the editing. You rock man!
Now that’s an adventure braving the weather. Howling winds are perfect for the lone wolf.

You got the best attitude. "This place is paradise" and then you show us your view of gray, cold skies. LMAF.
Luke, get yourself a Silky saw! That big log would have been enough for a whole night if you had a silky saw and made a Siberian log fire.
I am sure he has one, he just does not bring it very often. LOL. But I agree, in these conditions, it is better to have one with you, just in case.
@@dropshot1967 Also having a good knife and silky saw is better and much lighter than an axe, also much less energy needed...

Brother your channel is outstanding, am teaching my grandson about the outdoors and all it has to offer. I am former military and retired 38 year law enforcement. My health seems to be going south so I intend to use your channel as a training tool for my grandson. Thanks for your support of our military. You have a brother in NC!
Much apreciante when you put the Celcius indication on your video, nice touch. Hugs from Brazil
W.D. …………….it helps with the conversion factor for us also, up north of you !!!
I absolutely love these types of videos. It takes me home for a moment.
The outfit is fricking awesome man! Haha, really cool stuff!
Watching this brought back good memories from over 40 years ago.
Great tent review and an awesome adventure in the freezing conditions. 👍❤
The capture of the incredible ambient sounds
That tent was legit one of my favorite pieces of gear issued in the seabees. I truly miss it. Got me the strap/cram sleeping bag, though!
Absolutely love winter camping!!! Do it right, no problem. You got it!!
One of your best episodes! Good cinematography. Feel like you really captured the essence in the moment of the elements in that moment
I bet your wife was glad when you rolled back up into the yard, home, safe and sound.
When it comes to military gear this quote always comes to mind: "Never forget that your rifle is made by the lowest bidder."
they still have to meet the specifications, and they aren't always the lowest bidder. It's value, not cost that wins contracts. Very big difference between the two. . The military is a pretty tough customer. I used to work for one of the largest military contractors (we supplied weapons and defense systems) and let me tell you that they are stringent about their quality control. The things the military would reject it for were mindbogling sometimes.
@@mikel9567 I think it depends on what they are procuring. They get some pretty extensive procurement processes (1000 page RFP) going for software, computerized weapons systems and the like. Day to day materials are kind of a different story (it's hugely variable - unit to unit, org to org, country to country). That said... its just an old saying from Nam (I think) and things were a lot different then.
I like the fact that at least you are talking to us, not like the other guys that are just in silence.
YESSSSS... that’s it brother !!!
Thanks for being so brave and for taking us with you. Many greetings from the cold European hemisphere...❄️
