I would love to hear from you all, comment down below and share where you are from; it doesn't have to be specific; state, country, etc. I would love to know where you all are watching from.
Again, thank you for joining me for this adventure. On to the next.
Merry Christmas!

You should do like a patreon overnight adventure with somebody that would be cool!

Pay real good attention to the first tree he cut. It was locust. Very unique smell and color. And one of the best BTU producing wood around this area. I know a lot of people go for fatwood for starting fires. The Locust has a very high oil content and is just as good. There's a lot of small trees and branches along the whole length of the Parkway in always take a bag with me to pick up the small branches always have a stash of wood for starting fires in my truck. The only drawback if you do get a splinter get it out as fast as possible it hurts worse than getting an ash splinter

Merry Christmas to you and your family!
TheOutdoorGearReview merry Christmas. Why not have a 2nd tarp with a high pitch over top your tent?
Anyone else still loving this in 2023? Thanks so much for sharing all this with us Luke!
I tend to like these older ones more than the new ones. More stories and less pure gear talk😅

1979 in the chicago area, had a tent that survived through it, don't make them like they use too.
I use to camp with friends from when I was 14-18, No lights, 1 4-man tent for 6 and cans of Chief boy for food! AWW The good old days!
I can tell how much you miss your bro. The time back when you are young seemed to stand still and when you reminisce about it now you realize how fast it actually passed. I hope you and your brother can get together again and camp in a snow storm like the old days. Thanks for bringing back some memories for me and sharing the tranquility of nature.
Well written. That gave me pain and should be in a book. I'd write that down seriously.
So love you sharing your experiences, Luke. I'm a retired science/environmental ed professor and I regularly had my students out on real world field trips doing authentic research on water quality, birds, forests, etc. Your comments about your childhood trips to the woods resonate with me as my parents too turned me loose. we lived in the country in IN so we didn't have the beautiful mountains but I had fun in our woods and every fall I camped out by the creek in a shelter I made from autumn cornstalks. Had my campfire and was "armed" with my Daisy bb gun. Those were the days. My friends on the farm and I would also make shelters out in the field with hay bales from the loft. Close to home but inside the shelter you felt like you were a million miles away living the life of Daniel Boone. I'm 71 now with a knee replacement so my long hikes are less frequent but I travel in my camper trailer all over the country and settle for day hikes to fly fish and like you, have a good cuppa joe in the woods. I've spent quite a bit of time in western NC and SW VA so I really identify with the turf you regularly visit. Beautiful part of the country. Anyway, thanks for all you do. Even though I've spent a life outdoors I learn something from almost every one of your videos I watch. Keep up the good work and keep having fun.
The enthusiastic attitude you posses, realistic advise and can do demonstrations are awesome. You also do it with simple, affordable gear. This is very uplifting to me. My brother and I lived outdoors when growing up and somehow survived. Those were different times and I feel sorrow for young people today who are not exposed to life away from technology and indoor boredom.
Please stop

Thank you for taking us with you on your adventure, appreciated that immensely. God bless and take care.
I’m 13 and last year I got a PC and phone. My parents are the same as yours. I sleep out in my field all the time building dens tarp shelters it’s just so great
Be careful with the Fappmatic.
I'll tell you what I grew up with parents and grandparents that instilled in me that enjoying the outdoors and camping outside was worth it no matter how you could make it happen. Less gear sometimes made me appreciate it more, but as I've been able to afford more I always just encourage people to be safe but use what you got.
Nature is fantastic and beautiful enjoy it and respect it peace ✌️ out keep exploring pal
T800, you're about 16 yrs old now. Are you still loving the outdoors and getting out as much as you can?
You can bring your friends and get them into it also.
@@MegaSusanc he might never see these comments again
I love you’re attitude in these vids, it’s so uplifting
I have some gear from almost 40 years ago when I was a cadet commander in Civil Air Patrol. And it STILL WORKS.
Your enthusiasm is very encouraging in this mixed up world. Great video for soothing the soul. Keep them coming.
Release the movie. 🥴
Wowww ....6.30 am and pitch dark 🤔... I would really love to stay in such a place . 💕💕💕
Your videos got me more excited & more prepper minded with camping, hiking or backpacking. It really is something else. I would love to camp again with my husband soon. It really refreshes my soul
I love your stories about your brother. I remember cold weather camping in Northern Illinois with my Boy Scout troop when I was young. Amazing how confidence building it is; I learned lessons I will never forget. I love it. Thank you for sharing!
I can just watch this good content all night. Theres lots to learn, and see done right in front of you. Awesome work!
Watching this in early 2024. I’ve spent almost the whole Christmas ‘23 holiday (which is quite lengthy in the UK) watching/catching up on your videos; they’ve become a bit of an obsession. I observe a) how much younger you look in this one and b) the focus on bushcraft is more evident in this older vid. Luke, you’re such a nice bloke.
I'm not even going to lie, at first I thought your video style was a little cheesy when I first watched but after I kept on watching I grew to love your style and overall attitude! Keep up the great work man, you're really teaching others life essentials
Finally. Merry Christmas Luke. Merry Christmas to all watching this video.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!!
nice
It's May, 2020 while I'm looking at this happy video...very enjoyable.
I hear you around your thoughts about your mom letting you out in the woods back in the day. I started solo backpacking when I was 14, going out in every season for 1-3 weeks at a time. There aren't many moms who'd drop their kids off at the edge of a wilderness, and sweetly and honestly say "Have a good time!" I am so very thankful that I had a mom who did. Of course, I never told her about the bears, the lightning storms, the rattlesnakes or the freezing nights. But that's just being polite. :)
I love your enthusiasm! Also your appreciation of your great childhood. I'm a little older but grew up the same way. Always outdoors. My area wasn't quite as rural but we had a lot of woods and open land nearby. From age 10 on, NEVER left home without knife and matches. Lots of daytime adventures and also camping. Camping in the warm weather, we just laid sleeping bags on the ground without a tent. Nothing like watching the campfire light reflect off the leaves on the trees as you fall asleep.
You really brought back the feelings of being outside and free.
Happy New Year. You need a little wood stove. God bless you. A great video. 😄
One thing I've noticed with your campsite arrangements, is why don't you ever have the secondary tarp overlap with the tent, you have it separated and this time the door of the tent is facing away from the tarp. My thoughts are so that you would have a seamless entry into the tent without having to get wet at all. If possible I would have had a larger tarp cover both the tent and the secondary one. as an added layer of protection. When we used to camp, we damn near had a circus tent covering everything, including the 3 room tent and the cooking sitting area. Maybe we're more hardcore than most regular campers.
I was thinking the same thing, if It would be an issue to have it seamless I sure wish someone would give me that concept because maybe I haven’t been doing it right lol but with the dogs camping I would think that getting their feet at least a little bit dryer under the tarp before they get on the 10th would be a good idea
An absolutely terrific adventures experience .I love to watch it.
Beautiful!
Beautiful Adventure! I dream to do something like this..
I'm late watching this one, but one of my favorites. All I could think of on the hike out - "Man, it's a lot of work to hike ahead, set up the camera to get a shot without footprints, hike back, hike forward, back to get the camera. In knee deep snow!" If I had the power, I'd make you an honorary Canadian.
Maybe he used a drone?
Thank you. I haven't seen a snowy forest in over 20 yrs. It's still as beautiful as I've remembered. ❤
Always love the look of fresh snow and the sound when walking through it.
Memories are what keeps us going brother., at 8 yrs old, I was gone all day in the mountains of Norway, exploring. Still to this day ,never winter camped, at least not for 3 days or more .always wanted too, couldn't ever find a crazy friend to do it with. Love the video brother! Rock! And stay safe.
Amazing scenery, thanks for sharing your escapade with us👍
Smokey and the Bandit! I love that movie! My brothers and I can quote Sheriff Buford T. Justice all day!
As someone who grew up in north Pa winter camping is something i have always wanted to do
My first viewing of one of your videos. Wonderful job! You are so watchable, and make a clear, upbeat, informative and creative project. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Your childhood has made you the Man you are now. You LIVED for sure! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Best wishes from England.
Hi from New Zealand,
I was raised on a dairy farm one of the boundary fences border a forest. Yea had no fancy outdoor gear just a Tarp and woolen blankets. Sometimes went camping with just the clothes we had on. Use to built tree huts, underground dig-outs setup camp in hay barns. Use to spotlight at night with air guns shoot mice, rabbits, and possums. When your young and full of energy your resilient and bulletproof to weather life is fun. I can go on and on about my childhood upbringing.
I loved winter more than summer. Over NZ is an ozone hole and our summers are deadly dangerous. A lot of Kiwi's suffer from melanoma cancer as a result.
Thank you for bringing back memoirs of my childhood, enjoy viewing your winter camping clips👍
What a great video. Loved it!
Dude thanks for sharing these, things like this reignite my sense of adventure. I grew up with a very similar childhood experience, so I have a lot of nostalgia for this stuff as well.
I don't know why your videos are re-appearing in my feed 1 year late, but I certainly don't mind it! Haven't had a good winter camp in a while, and this brought back some memories.
I see a lot of people suggesting doing extra stuff like having another tarp/cover above the tent etc, and I agree with a lot of it. If I had to only use the gear that you brought, then I would try to link the entrance of the tent with the tarp, so they extend their coverage in a single dry spot.
Another creative way to deal with the snow buildup on a tarp like that, is to not secure it into the ground or trees themselves, but rather suspend it from trees with floating anchors to weigh it down (use rocks or branches as weights). With no snow buildup, the branches will weigh enough to extend the tarp fully and provide nice coverage - but the more snow builds up, the more the tarp weighs and pulls on the branches. With enough snow buildup, the tarp will cave in on its own and dump most of the snow, which then resets the weight and allows the branches to pull down and stretch out the tarp yet again. I think this is a fun way to build a maintenance-free tarp setup, but it does require a bit of fiddling to get the weight anchors right, and probably a few trial and error sessions. The key is to get the weight just high enough that the tarp can be stretched out fully with no snow buildup on it, and from then on the tarp will take care of the snow buildup itself :)
I am from South Carolina, we roamed the woods around our home also, mama pretty much turned us lose! I love watching the things God made ,others say" Nature", I taught little ones in church and one of our Bible thoughts was""Think of the wonders of God". I am a 80 yr old woman that misses the outdoors, family to enjoy it with.
100% on the freedom we had as kids. I feel bad for my boys as they will not understand the freedoms we had. I remember my best friend and I at the creek getting crawdads from sun up to sun down. I've been binge watching your videos and I want to thank you for bringing us along.
I though I was the only one that looked forward to snow storms!
Its way past Christmas time, but still enjoying this video. Wonderful, wonderful story teller you are. I would imagine your parents are very proud of the excellent job they did in raising you. I know I would certainly be. Good luck with all your endeavors and hope to see many more of your adventures!
Recently found you and your channel. After watch a dozen or so or your videos I have to say that I really respect what you are doing. You have a great theme, tempo and message to us all that watch.
me too...! 👍☺️👍
just found your channel, what a brilliant intro vid!
subbed
Watching from Connecticut. There is really nothing like spending a good amount of time in the woods alone.
Great narration and personality! I felt like I was right there. Brings back lots of my own camping memories. Keep up the outstanding work.
I watch this one allot. I miss the mountains and the snow. I've learned quite a bit and love the scenery and if I watch it at night, I sleep very well. Thanks so much for this video(oh,&all the rest!)!
How FUN!! You were right; this was an awesome idea👍 Thanks for sharing your experience. Absolutely beautiful
I’m a bit new to ur channel Nov 2022, but viewing ur past videos and this one is so great. Love ur childhood stories. I grew up the same. Today I rarely see kids outside building forts and dragging every found junk contraption home. I grew up w/my 6 siblings camping all across the U.S., super great memories. I was the oldest. Fabulous times. Kids today truly are missing out on such free feeling healthy fun. Great video, thanks for sharing ur life.
I don't camp, but I love your videos and your up-beat attitude. Merry Christmas and may you and yours have a blessed New Year. Stay safe.
I would have brought with me on the camping trip, more food,coffee,small radio and a few joints to enjoy after the work is done.
Luke will make inspire you to camp and guyot your line tight. Just you wait.
One of my most favorite video's.
Thank's for sharing a great winter adventure .
"I can't talk, my mouth is frozen" lololol! 🤣 Great video man, keep them coming! ❄️🏞️🔥☕
This was an awesome camp! Thanks so much for sharing your stories and showing us your camp!
As someone who's lived outdoors for 12.5 yrs in northwestern Montana I can tell you.that if you get a big enough rainfly tarp with multiple attachment points it's smart to throw a tarp over tents like that using paracord for a ridgeline then 2 carabiner with pressic knots off the carbiners to tension out the rainfly tarp and create a A Frame over the tent so snow and rain are shed off with the pitch. Another pointer is a backcountry avalanche shovel, MSR makes a good one and it's lite weight.
Times are different, my parents would load us up on horses and we were just raised to know what was around. We always had 2 dogs with us and they were our eyes and ears at night. We always had a large caliber rifle and a pistol. Those times were priceless with my little brother. He passed 10 yrs ago. So I take my son out into the backcountry and teach him what my father taught me. It's a skillset that allows you to survive in nature and do it with a cool head. I absolutely love winter camping and I'm not discrediting that's alot of snow but a blizzard here at 8300 ft.dumps between 4 to 6 ft. It puts life into perspective when you can see the Northern Lights and just living life. Cheers mate
Anyone else watching this with me in 2024...? Time flies...
Yes & boy does he look so young😂
Excellent video bro. I love your energy and passion. Thanks for sharing, I learned a lot
Great video! I always learn something about the outdoors when I watch your videos.
It was a real pleasure going on your adventure with you. You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing your journey
loved the "old" days... go out, have fun, be back by dark. at 55 I greatly miss those days
Would love to camp like that, awesome to watch thanks for taking us with you. Great attitude. Unfortunately Switzerland is way too crowded and public camping prohibited. Enjoy your freedom!
It's about time for another snow Adventure! (with a different tent)
Luke this is the 4th time i watched this video! Pretty AWESOME brother thank you!
Yup. nice name
Honestly I love watching your videos. Most people would think it was the worst day in their lives to be having to walk in 2 feet of snow. It's refreshing to see that you welcome it and don't see it as a struggle. I love the outlook on life. Keep on doing great work Luke!
I love ur videos!! You make us feel like we are right there with u!! So beautiful!!
Thank you so much for going out in this storm and sharing it with us!! I pray that we'll have similar storms this winter!!!!!
Loving your channel. And watching from England.
Still one of my favorite videos!!!
I've just started upon your videos. I'm loving them especially when you talk about your memories with your brother. I'm 66 now and have so many of those memories with my two brothers. I'm the oldest daughter. We were always in the woods and building forts, camping. We couldn't imagine not being there. You have taken me back to such fond memories, thank you. Kids today have no idea what they are missing. God Bless and stay safe.
Love your videos watch them all the time very educational keep up the good work
Very cook video. I like how you talk about your memories with your brother. I would like to experience what you did with my brothers
Love your vibes man. Thanks 🙏🏾
You should go get your brother and go camping together before it's too late
That same thought crossed my mind too.
I don't like being cold or out in the snow, but I really love watching your snow camping videos...Thanks for the great posts and bringing us on your adventures! :-)
I live in North Carolina and remember this storm going through. Where I lived at the time, we got 18 inches. Still remains the 2nd largest snow storm I've ever gone through.
Great location, you were lucky to be able to experience all that fun as a kid. Wish we had snow like this here, would love to camp in it. That was one heck of a snow storm, but it looked like loads of fun too. I liked your shovel.

Growing up in Northern Vermont back in the 70's and early 80's we used either alpine ski's or a specific type of snow shoes That the native Americans made which wasn't bad for breaking trail in the woods. They were round and very lite but very good at distributing your weight to keep you on top of the deep stuff. The modern snow shoes have their place especially if you traverse glaciers. I find it interesting the different types that the native Americans made across the country. Made for some interesting research.
Just watched this amazing episode !!! Grate job and looked like it was a ton of fun !!!! Funny how I'm living in my ice shack on 2 feet of ice and ur in a tent with 2 feet of snow !!!!!! Thanks for a great time !!!!!
I would love to go camping in the snow. I love snow and Christmas.
Look like a fun trip and some great camping tips. Thanks, Mike
I am sure I'm not the first to mention this, but maybe an overnighter with your brother using the stuff you scrounged as a kid. The fun/misery index should be off the charts
That would be really cool and i am sure they would have fun.
Anyone watching on Christmas merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you 2
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Lisa
merry Xmass greetings from a cold desert.
Merry Christmas from Germany to all of you ⛄️🍀🎄
Just watched your video for the firs time. Loved it. I love being in the outdoors dead smack in the middle of no where. I haven't done any winter time camping but can't wait to do it. Keep up the great videos
Water is my element,I love snow as much as you do!! Lived at the top of a mountain!! A Creek ran through the property always pure ,clean water!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one who carries an axe and a saw when I'm backpacking - especially in the winter.
Really enjoying this in the middle of June, sweating my boys off haha. Cheers Buddy!!
Awesome adventure Luke! Lots of work! Love it👍👍
Spotted
Looks like a great time, And you are correct in saying a different time different generation.. I Enjoy watching your videos good job..
love this video, probably watched 3-4 times
Great story and it’s obvious you had great parents . I loved and could see by the look on your face when talking about your brother how much you appreciated his company and the adventures you went on. I tell you what if the apocalypse comes I want to be with you! Thanks for sharing this. I am one who loves the snow and experiencing what nature has to offer
Love the look on your face throughout this video, you look like a kid Christmas morning lol great video funny how a snow storm can be fun into our adult years
Seasons greetings from Perth Western Australia, hope you and your family have a terrific 2019.🖖
Had a great time watching this ! I like your ''lazy fuel tabs'', sometimes convenience is very welcome. Good stuff !!
Wow!!! You finally got that big snowfall remember this and be careful what you wish for. I haven't seen that much snow since I was a little girl in Pennsylvania.
I’m am 67 year old woman and I remember being outside all the time hated having to go in at night.We lived next to our cousins and would sleep outside in yard with a blanket.We were so blessed weren’t we.Do kids nowadays even know about sleeping under the stars? I hope at least some of them do.What a great life.😊
This video just popped up, thought I’d give it a go
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great filming
Will have to do some catch up now
Thank you 🌈
Just found your videos, watched 3 so far and really enjoyed them. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories.
Loved your video, just came across your channel and subscribed. The woods were just beautiful, I love watching things like this. Have a safe and blessed year
Just an absolutely amazing adventure! I'm to the point in my life where I hate summer and prefer winter!
Can't get enough snow!!!!
Been working through your videos and they’re very relaxing for when I’m trying to fall asleep at night.
Best gear reviews out there! Thanks for the awesome content. Keep up the great work 😁👍
