Luke thank you for making my last days
Better
I have always loved nature
Thank you for being a good husband and the
Greatest father
Your personality and interesting voice is entertaining
I am a born again Christian
Great success with your
Channel❤
Your last days?
Hello, I am from Korea.^^ The forest is so dense that the air will be clear. If I spend a night alone in nature, I think I can relieve the stress of city life. I enjoyed watching my friend's video. 👍 👍 👍
Where is Korea?? I've never heard of it, it sounds beautiful
00000000000000000000000000⁰p000000000000000000000000
I would watch these videos just to watch coffee! Love it that much. That is the whole reason I camp is to have coffee in the mountains
My first big tarp was a canvass army tarp from Vietnam. I loved it, but it took some friends to help set up. I used to put it over my el cheapo tent, which I shared with my big dog.
Then I set my cook fire up at the other side of the site ( wilderness) and ran a zip line down the middle, for my big dog.
It was deluxe. I was there for two weeks, and the locals came to check on me.
They showed me around, and we found a an eagle nest, with chicks. They invited me to Snowbird, a huge privilege.
Just as we got everything set up, came a heckofa storm, and Doggo wasn't scared, at all.
It was s beautiful trip.
Thank you for the memory.
Black bears, bobcats, so on and so forth, NO BIG DEAL 😂
I live in South Korea and our biggest problem would be ticks and mosquitoes.
Love your videos and occasional small talks about nature, family and life.
Thank you for sharing your adventure.
Looking forward on your next one.
Contained/controlled fire is so beautiful to watch, plus it's tranquilizing, as well.
Nothing like the sounds of rain hitting a tarp
Currently in my back yard in a hammock and tarp set up waiting for the storm here in Tennessee. Best time to watch your channel 👌
Rain teased us all weekend long in mid tenn
@@raptordc5 i know!!! I'm in east tn, the few hours we had was very enjoyable!
you should have filmed you watching this so we could watch you from under a tarp, under your tarp watching this channel under his tarp. 😂
On the west coast I see those insulators often, they held telegraph lines that went up to the fire lookouts. It's always fun to find one, is like a piece of history!
Aha! Thanks for this information. Being female, I'm ate up with curiosity. LOL!
Yes insulator for telephone line.
We used to find them when I was a kid camping and hiking. Sometimes we could sell them for a dollar.
I thought it was a insulator I used to see them in the mountains when I went riding
Where I am in Northwest Arkansas it's get..yes...all of the above! Super hot, super cold, super comfortable, super wet, super dry, super windy, super still, blue skies, clouds, tornadoes, earthquakes, et cetera.
I have the volume full blast just to hear the back ground noise . Such as the birds ,crickets , rain etc. I watch and listen to your show while I am welding at work , and it's so relaxing . Thanks buddy!!!
Now that's camping. That is how I step up my Wal-Mart tent, which is only good to keep bugs out and guaranteed to leak. A nice tarp and a cheap tent. Live like Kings during a rain storm, cook, eat, and just sit around enjoying being out there in the woods. With not a worry at all regarding the rain or getting wet. Dont trust those more expensive tents. plus when it is raining hard, no rain gets in when getting in or out of the tent. Love my tarps. Great video's enjoy them.. Stay dry and take care.
Luke are you kidding brother.dont sell yourself short you have great ideas and your skill of teaching others is impeckable.never think any of your ideas are wrong you my friend do a Great Job at this.
As a kid, I was always scared of T-storms. Now, I love them. My, to date, worst storm camping trip was a group hike on Mt. St. Helens. You could see the lighting bolt move across the sky, THRU the tent wall and fly!!! Rain was like an open faucet, a straight downpour. Tent leaked quite badly after a couple hours of the storm, so i moved to the big canvas tent, some of the group were in. Great trip. Great storm. Great mountain to hike!
We love the way you say "Cheers" with your British accent, Mate!
This probably the closest I will ever get to bushcraft camping! Watching your videos are awesome! Thanks for letting me tag along!
My favorite part of camping is the fire. Or a fireplace.
.something very relaxing about snuggling close to a fire. With my thoughts. Even better if I can fall asleep listening to rain.....
Love that set up! That is one heck of a tarp, WHEW. I always use a tarp with my tent. Used to set up big tarps, truck camping, with my family. Used a rock to toss tarp cords up higher. Could park the truck under one edge. The tarp covered our picnic table and two tents. As you know it rains a lot in the Smokies. We enjoyed a great time in the mountains, rain or shine. So glad to see your set up. Thanks for sharing. Kentucky
We can refer to Luke as the Tarp Master !!👍✌️
There is something soothing about the shelter of a huge tarp on a rainy night. In the damp humid environment it’s nice to have the ventilation of the open sides with the precipitation protection. I did something similar one day with my North Face Windy Pass tent in the boundary waters of Wisconsin when we had an expected hot sunny day. I propped a reflective side of a polyurethane tarp over our inner tent to create some shade were we could not find any. Hours later, we used the same tarp as a third layer to keep us warm during a cold downpour. Tarps are a great addition to four season tents! Loved the video!
Hello. Typo in the title of the video. Thanks for all your inspiring videos
I live about 650 ft. Above sea level. Its been nice in North Alabama. Used AC very little this year. The woods keep us about 6 degrees cooler than my Husband's Sister which lives 3 miles away. Love the weather hate ticks and chiggers. I love camping in my backyard. I am a lucky lady.
Denmark is always windy. I wouldn't pith a tarp that big in Denmark. Always colliding storms fronts from the southwest. Never silent outdoors.
Love your channel, your reviews and work.
Backpack glamping I love it look at all the stuff you brought , the ultralight guys are wet and cold soaking food and your in a Hilton 🤣
Hi Luke my friend you are so very much appreciated 😊 Katie
Definitely a tarp master
The tarp and inner tent is a great summer setup if you can find a spot with some air movement. I learned to Siege camp in the Army with SF. Spent a bunch of time in Norway, Alaska, and Ft Drum, NY. Was in the Blizzard of 77 when it snowed 75" in 2 days at -35. Elementary school collapsed, and we shoveled it out. No students, as all the roads were closed. I hate camping in hot humid weather, but they don't really care what you like. 90% of the time they sent us in winter. I love winter camping. You are a very good example for the camping community. I'm 73 now and getting back into going out this fall winter. It's amazing how things change, yet they really are the same. Ultralight is relative. My Team SGT would always say we are going to be walking around with 300 pounds of light weight s%^t. The person from the lab would always say it only weighs 8 Oz. We would say "Great that will barely be noticed in the anchor tied to our back. Love your attitude and grateful for your suggestions. Tarps are really the common connection to my past and now. I really need a break from all the politics. Thanks.
Right behind you that spot on the sun looks good for a sit to camp.
The most wonderful camping experience I've had was in the North Cascades in Washington. It was a campground, but that was fine. I had a great tent that was tall enough to stand up in. I had an inflatable mattress, with bedsheets, pillows and a quilt from home. I know that it's a bad idea to bring food inside a tent, but I was only going to be there one night, so I took a chance and brought my cooler of drinks and a bag of snacks inside. I was expecting a storm and I luckily grilled my steak, cleaned up the site and packed the car just as the rain started. Then I went into the tent.
What made it so great was that the rain came down hard. It rained for hours. I was dry, warm, snug and happy inside with my books, my sodas, and my snacks, while the rain tried in vain to reach me. Water poured off the walls, and I could hear it flowing under the floor. I fell asleep sometime near midnight and the rain never relented. I slept great.
night
I love camping one day I hope I can do it again 🙏🏽 💓 ❤️
I'd love to live in NC and have a patch of land I could go hide away in. Kudos to you for living it.
I am in Texas and we have already had 100 degrees days. Funny thing about this state is there can be a partly sunny day and you will suddenly have some intense rain like we did this morning. I am so used to it. Enjoy, Luke. Another great video!
I was there for 20 years. I don’t miss that
Super comfortable weather not hot or cold just right
I've been using that setup for years. I love it.
That's a huuuuuge tarp! Looks a bit like glamping.
Thank you, great episode! We are two peas in a pod. I always have an enormous tarp set up when I camp in my van. I put it up between trees and use a very long nylon rope to attach if trees are far apart. I put half higher than the van and half to drop like a wall. The van can be totally under cover if it's raining. I bring chairs, a table, and a tiny kitchen, all collapsible, all under cover. I can catch rain water for washing up; if water is scarce, it can be filtered for drinking. I love camping in the rain! 🦋
Strength & compromise , very needed. Along with respect & responsibility. Your choices are your own. Obviously many things are out of your control. How you deal with them, however, is not. Use logic , not feelings , hard work = great rewards. Ty looks amazing.
You know it’s going to be good when Luke calls it a Thinderstorm.
Missouri here. Literally every season and type of weather possible, sometimes all in a few days. We get the brutal cold and miserable heat, floods and droughts, snow, tornadoes (on rare occasion in same day), thunder snows, hail, I even remember a dust storm when I was a kid. I live outside Nevada MO, right by KS border. Storm chasing and fishing my long time favorites. Love sitting under a tarp or in my hammock during a storm.
I always crack up when you make your coffee. That stuff has to pack a wallop. :-)

Long time fan (under another name). One thing I've always wondered about with you, rain and tarps. Groundwater is always a luxury. Where I live, ...ya, ...NO ! When ever 'we' go 'out', we ALWAYS carry a 'tarp, piece of poly, garbage bag (BPA free), something to hang in the rain to collect water ! I know it's a "show", not an encyclopedia and all possible incidentals can't, in a lifetime be covered. I wonder if maybe, one day, the subject might be covered... for everyone else's' edification. 'call it a public service announcement.
'Your friendly "professional Camper" in the Semi (hint, hint lol) God bless, Take care ... you and y'all. L.H.
The porcelain ring on the trees are, in my area rings to support wiring to link up fire control towers with other remote locations. Also logging operations used that technology back in the day
Outstanding camping love the rain! awesome tarp and tent!
Another great video. I always use a tarp as it has so many advantages , the biggest advantage is that you can carry on working underneath it and it affords daytime shelter unlike a tent. Tents are small and confined, just for sleeping in at night.
I often use an inner and a tarp. You have cover, no bugs, and a lot more livable space under the tarp. It's my preferred set up.
Yes storms are fun!
Always enjoy your videos. Thank u. They make me relax.
We have been hanging a plow point tarp over our tent for years. Glad you were able up just discover it 😉😉
Glad I found this channel. Enjoy your videos.
Hi there, I watch your videos quite frequently. I live on what I call "the flat lands", Long Island, NY. Spent my summers in the Adirondack mountains as a kid. Absolutely going to start doing exactly what you do. God bless and thank you for the education you provide.
I love that tarp
I just love your videos!! I’m new to your page!!! But now can’t stop watching your videos!! I love the outdoors, learning new things!!!
At my grandmother's farm she had 5 gallon buckets full of those ceramic insulators. They would set up temporary electric fences to move the cattle around. They would graze down the wooded areas to the point they would look like a well groomed park. Any plants they wouldn't eat would get trimmed away or sprayed with Roundup. Some spots were more permanent, and would have barbwire fencing. The trees would eventually grow around it.
Lower West Texas panhandle, it's HOT,DRY,WINDY!!
I have kept all of the old tent parts that are still good. During this storm I was at the beach. I recently purchased the 10x13 aquaquest. I dug out the old 8x8 tent poles from a trashed tent. Putting the tarp up with the loops on the underside did the trick for us. Run the poles through them, spike them in the sand, and the new age wigwam was perfect. No trees for the creative setup. 🤣.
Adapt may be a better word than compromise. Always good info. Huge tarp.
Also agree with you about everywhere in the backcountry is busy now. Since the scamdemic , It's the busiest I've ever seen it.
Tying off to roots where the soil is too loose is a great 'hack.' TAKING A SON to college reminded me of my 'day' long ago: My eventual wife and her mother were unpacking her stuff about three cars down from where my Aunt and Uncle were helping me unload. Her mother had 'turned her out well,' with the most effective hairstyle and an 'upmarket' wardrobe that had been custom made at home. We were in the same group in Freshman orientation and we started dating. Neither of us sought relationships with anyone else and soon enough, married, we had two fine sons...and two useful college degrees! I am an AGED supporter of your channel now. My wife is lightly paralyzed, and I am a caregiver rather than an ardent suitor or Lifetime Lothario.
I did same set up when we lost our rain cover works so much better here in Florida because you get much better airflow and shades larger area around the tent.
I love your craftsmanship. Yourdugouts are the best Ive seen. Thankor all the ideas that I will put into mine. Keep up the good work. You are very clever
I live in Minnesota. I hate summer here I hate the oppressive hot humid heat. It feels like weight all pushing on u and the sweating is awful ...stickiness! I love, and love the winter and I hold my breath from May till it reaches September and then hope abounds again!!!
I am from Michigan it is everything all the time. we have a saying if you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes. one day its in the 80s the next day it could be in the 40s.
Absolutely love your videos Luke, you inspire many to get out and enjoy the beauty and peace nature brings.
Great video camping with Steve and ab camping sits up like this
..cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
The parachute threw me off... I'm mean tarp. That's huge!
All I got to say is I really love that tarp it is so big and covers a lot of ground you could put up to three tents ⛺️ under it enjoyed this video a lot thanks for sharing
I bought a 12x14 tarp to do the same kind of large living area for an extended stay that would allow me day activities throughout a rainy spell for me and my cat. I would stay in a hammock and she in a single man tent that all I have to do is throw on the ground. I would not need the fly for the hammock, though I might bring the fly to set up a shower.
It's rainy here. A thunderstorm went through at sundown. It cooled us down from a low 90°F to I guess a low 80°. It will get cool here tonight around 75°F. We are watching for a tropical storm headed straight for us that may begin to be felt tomorrow evening. We re looking at 8 to 12 inches of rain before it passes through! Glad I am not hunkered down under a tarp then!
Well Luke, it's been in the upper nineties for weeks with winds and dust, then this past week the temps dropped into the sixties and we got some rain after a drought of like 170 days with no moisture. Now the temps a creeping back up, going to be a hot dry summer again and the forest are burning away here in NM. Of course the big fire in North central NM was caused by the forest service, a controlled burn that got out of hand. NM is home of Smokey the Bear, US Forest Service mascot, Lincoln National Forest, Southern NM, Capitan area. Nice set up and video as always, thanks for the work bro. Enjoy!
What a great way to manage a lot of fear- respect instead of fear. Maybe we could go a little further and say that nothing is completely to be feared like a thief who gives to the poor when no one else will.
Your channel is fun to watch thank you!
Heck of a tarp job!! Take care.
Up on the West Coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Wind and rain are our biggest factors, no trees so using a tarp with a tent and walking poles is a great shelter option plus midges (small mosquitos) are a major irritant so bug net tent is essential. We are so far north here at this time of year it doesn't get dark. I really enjoy your work Luke, strength and honour buddy. 🏝️🏴🇬🇧
Gotta love those "Thinderstorms"
I live in Alaska. Have used similar tarp and tent setups for over 30 years of camping! Ain't nothing better. I could literally live that way and be happy.
Great overnight camping video. Live in Columbus, Ga and 3-days this week will be over 100 degrees and it’s always very high humidity. Hotties months are May, June, July, August, September. After then Months gets around high to mid 80 degrees (F). Every 6 to 10 years there is a very, very light dusting of wet snow. Our cold Month is February and it my only get down 25 degrees maybe 1 or 2 days. Cold weather is 30 degrees (f) or higher. I wish my highs were 70 or 80 degrees. Great video again. I do miss your longer story times at dinner time when your camping. like you did in your older videos. Like the two inter wolves, your twin brother, and things like that.
The insulator is the type used for a short wave radio antenna.
That is OBAT" wowzers
Thankyou
Here in Portland, OR we average just over 40 inches per year. Rainy season starts in the fall, October usually, and lasts till July 5th (a running joke here). We get spring hail & sometimes winter snow. Occasional thunderstorms, which I love. Very lush & green.
Our country is usually🌞 hot, dry, ☔wet and rainy... Nowadays, its quite hot around 30-32°c during day time, and 27-28°c at night.. The weather is also unpredictable here.. Warm greeting from Malaysia.. 🇲🇾
I enjoy camping in the fall.
I am so grateful for this channel. I really believe I could set up camp in an emergency. Thanks Luke!
Hello Indiana.
Love your videos. Inspires me to get out and camp. Thank you!
A spot to camp
Luke my father always said if the coffee won't float a horse shoe it's not good coffee. Lol.
I've been setting up my tent under tarps since the early 1990's. I keep my firewood and fire under the tarp. Nothing quite like being warm and dry while sitting next to a campfire with a hot cup of coffee and enjoying a downpour in the forest. Since the tent never gets wet, I can get away with cheap low-quality tents at the same time. The only difference is that I always use poly-tarps.
No one asked
@@ac1dburn698 No one asked? I don't understand.
Your statement about compromise and strength is so true!! Glad your son is enjoying college and cute girls in his dorm, been there with our son LOL:) So impressed with your clear ,concise explanations of the gear you use in certain conditions. I always learn something new. Lovely video, verdant with mist and rain. Cheers.
Panama, 4K elevation , part of 12k volcano, 200” rain (April- Nov), 60-75, camp backyard grandson. No poison ivy, yea. Did I mention critters. Appreciate your channel, miss Susie.
You're awesome my friend😄😄.
Tony from AB Camping does this type of camping in his videos too...love it enjoying this video
Great overnighter! I love those setups that start as an idea, but work out so well you suddenly wish you had food and a clear schedule for a week 😉. This one would be a total trigger for me.
That tarp has it's own Zip code it is huge....
Nooooo not thinderstorms! Great watch thanks again. Cheers 🍻
Thank you so much for sharing.
Luke, you have a LOT of rain where you live! I used to live in the convergent zone on the West side of the Cascades and got tired of the rain so I moved to a rain shadow desert on the Eastern side of the Cascades in Plain, WA. I love it here except for the fire danger which we now have to deal with every year.
That looked like an awesome set up in an even more awesome environment. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us
When I was a kid growing up in Iowa, it used to storm for hours, now it storms for a few minutes, then it quits and moves on. Bummer!
( I like the Dr. Frankenstein thunderstorms )
Hi, Luke; I LIKE your vids; I vicariously camp through “experiencing” them. (lol: on me!)z😅😉. BE CAREFUL; TAKE CARE…& keep producing these well in hought vids…! 😃😃👍🏼👣
This is actually a breath of fresh air. So many videos of a tarp not even big enough to cover a person in a storm. Thank you. I also love the idea using a tent inner with a tarp. Doing this should give other tent inners a more comfortable hot weather camping. Stay active and safe.
...God bless you Sir! ...nice video....
Thanks!
Thank you very much for the Support Glen, more adventures to come!
S&H
