    Hey there! As an ebike user, I stumbled upon this amazing UA-cam video titled "outdoor" and I must admit, I was blown away by the outstanding features of the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike showcased in the video. The fact that it can be charged indoors is revolutionary and gives me the freedom to explore the outdoors without worrying about running out of battery. The 750W motor and 80Nm torque seem impressive, promising a thrilling and powerful ride. Not to mention the puncture-resistant fat tires and IPX5 waterproof finish, ensuring a smooth journey in any weather. Count me in for the crowdfunding project!

    I love impromptu stops in the woods next to a stream that flows quietly. It is so peaceful and relaxing. I like that quick set up stool. I saw the movie I Am Legend and enjoyed most of it. The scene in which Will's character had to dispatch his infected dog broke my heart. Enjoyable video, Luke.

    Luke, it’s almost always a pleasure to be safe and warm, protected from the fury of cold rain and wind, sitting in a shelter, looking to the outside where the storm lashes out and beats down. I have stood out in the rain and snow storm, the only shelter being my clothing or the oil and wax on my skin. For three years my main shelter was what I was wearing. Rarely, I could duck into the command tent. My men could hide from the storms inside the 13 ton, cold, hard metal of their vehicles. I don’t like being cold, wet, tired and hungry. When I watch you I know that you’re out there because some of your viewers have expressed some positive reinforcement, “Oh, it’s so great when you’re camping in a storm.” Luke, I like you. I don’t like seeing you miserably experiencing setting up a tarp in the cold and wet, having a coffee just for us. Please be careful. Go home. Get out of the rain. Hold Susie, pet your dogs and enjoy the fireplace. From a buddy in Kentucky.

    This video was so relaxing that I almost fell asleep. It’s just beautiful to be out in the trees and the forest and the grass. I think I might take my two dogs and my screen tent and just go out for the day and instead of just camping will just come home but we can spend the day out. That’s a good idea.❤❤❤

    Long time viewer here 👍🏻. We are of the same opinion regarding The Omega Man friend. I Am Legend the book, The Last Man On Earth and I am Legend the film. The Chuck Heston version is the best of the bunch, followed by Vincent Price and then the Smith iteration. The book though is one of my all time favourites, very atmospheric, the paranoia, claustrophobia and fear leaps off the page. I can only recommend it too 👍🏻

    I'm retired LEO, and an Accident Reconstructionist, and I was taught how to strategically drive a car. Hands at 4 and 8 and shuffle steer. The other reasons for this steering wheel position is in a collision scenario, when the airbag deploys, the airbag won't destroy your forearms, which I've seen MANY times, and it will reduce fatigue when holding your arms high on the steering wheel. Maybe, mount your camera so you can drive with both hands. Try this, and let me know...

With his personality and just being the way he is...doing a bushcraft camp with only a certain amount of items for certain situations, or none at all. Ok maybe a ferro rod at the most! But to see this dude toughin it hard would really inspire me! Thanks for your content!

    I had a funny learning experience while backpacking this past week. I always carry two small Bic lighters with me in case one gives out. I was sitting on a log, using a stump for my table, I set up my msr stove, set my cup on top and filled it with water, cut on the stove and waited for it to start boiling. All of a sudden it exploded!! I thought my propane canister had exploded but no! I had only removed one lighter from inside my cup and didn't see the other one. It exploded when the water started boiling. Very scary! Fortunately it didn't damage my cup or me, however it did damage my msr stove. Live, learn, adventure anyway.😊
