Your a good person with a good and blessed soul who loves the outdoors and loves sharing that with the world, and we thank you for that. Stay safe and blessed Luke.
Hi Luke, my name is Wolfgang and I´m German. I found your videos by chance and I love them very much. I know what it means, to be in such weather conditions, the above video reminds me of a trekking tour I made in Nepal, near the Mt. Everest area in 1992. We had to climb a mountain, which was still in our way... it was the Lamjura, 4,008 m high, and we had to stay overnight in a normal tent (no heater, no stove) short below the summit at an altitude of 3,700 m. We slept in a snowfield, with temperatures of minus 15° Celsius. That was lousy cold, too! But as we reached the summit the next day, we were lucky, no clouds, clear blue skies and in front of us the whole few on the high Himalayan mountains. Fantastic! All efforts have been worthy for that few! So, move on, I´m looking forward for your next videos. Best regards from good old Germany, yours Wolfgang :-)))))
I really loved this one. That winter scenery is so incredibly beautiful, enhanced by the sound of the high winds. I hope that knee injury is temporary.
Awesome video. I imagine that everything you went through with your back has given you some skills for dealing with pain. If my knee hurt that bad, I would have called in sick and stayed at the shelter...
I just saw this and it's awesome. I was 17 years old when I joined the U.S. Army, went up through the ranks, graduated from college (Army paid 75% of my tuition), joined Officers Candidate School, and retired after 22 years as an officer at 38 years old! I was young enough and continued to work for the Department of Veterans Affairs after military retirement. In 5 years, I will have 21 years and hence, my second pension! By that time, God willing. I will have 5 passive income for retirement. What started out as an adventure at 17 became an excellent choice for a good future 2d retirement indeed. Good luck to your daughter. I'm sure she will love it!
I mentioned in another thread I NEVER snow hike, but one time, during august, we were so high up on a trail that there will still huge patches of snow/ice trails on the north side of the mountain as the trail would traverse back and forth. I never experienced snow blindness before, but when the sun hits the expanse of snow it’s truly blinding! Thank god I had sunglasses with me.
It was smart to put your boots in your sleeping bag. Way back in college I went winter camping on cross country skies. The boots were soaked with sweat and my feet had sores on them where the boot rubbed them. In the morning, I had to use all of my weight to force my foot into the frozen boot. When my foot finally slid into position, all of the sore spots made contact all at once. Nice and painful. Ah, the good days of youth. :)
I watched this the day it was posted nearly 8 years ago and i find myself coming back almost every year since. Thanks Luke for the awesome content. It feels as though we are all there with you. What a great adventure, and a true and trusted source of information. Long live the Outdoor Gear Review.
You really toughed it out. This reminds me of the deadliness of Mt. Washington in NH. Traveling in whiteout conditions on any mountain is tough. Your videos are excellent learning tools. Thanks!!
OThank you for the videos really enjoying them ,I'm to old now but camping in the snow in Scotland is something I will look back on fondly,it makes you want to weep for your lost youth,god bless and keep safe .
Those conditions would be too much for me,but great to see how it should be done.Thanks for sharing Luke,and your daughter is awesome for joining the military;good luck to her.
Thanks Luke for the upload. Was really looking forward to this one. I'll have to say this video is your BEST ONE to date. Getting right stuck into the wild, right up in the Snowy Mountains, all that freezing cold wind - at one with Nature. Really makes you appreciate the Beauty that is on offer for us all - all over the World. 💪💪💪
Thanks again, for the hard work I know it takes to make these videos Luke. I really enjoy seeing them as I can't get into the woods as much as I used to. Watching your adventures is a way of me at least getting the feel of being outdoors again. I hope it turns out that your knee is ok, you need to get it checked out though. I have been walking on a broken hip for 18 years, it started with pain in my lower back. When your body sends you a message like that, it shouldn't go unchecked. Best wishes to you and your family and thanks again.
Hey Luke, it's always fun to watch your videos. I do not understand everything you say, but the pictures speak for themselves. Greetings from Northern Germany. Bernd
3:24 Thank you for putting the temperature in Celsius and measurements in Metric for everyone. I work in both Imperial and Metric but always try to display figures in both so that is really appreciated!
@@Tsamokie Bogus? The entire world is metric except for America representing 4% of the population. Why is it so universal? Because it's a superior and easier system.
Awesome trip Luke!!! Looked like heaven. I've got a real penchant for that weather. Find a high good spot, nail down my Hilleberg Tarra, mat & sleeping bag out and enjoy. Hope the knees on the mend. Sounds like some ligament and or cartilage problems. Both my knees are shot from to many years carrying heavy packs and sounds exactly the same as yours. Have to say I like your unique choices re entertainment when out in the wilderness and alone. Silverbullet on video, psycho killers on pod cast.....a bit of a crazy pattern developing 😉😉😉 Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into taking us along with you. Setting up shots, walking off to then return for the camera etc, huge amounts of editing...I'm sure I speak for most when I say you always go above and beyond for us, your audience. I for one truly appreciate and value what you give us. Thanking you sir. Am sooo envious. Get well, stay strong. Easily one of your best videos to date. Take care mate. Big tip of the hat to you. Huge congrats to your daughter. You've got a great bunch of kids, a wonderful family. Hope everyone's well. Till the next time. Strength and honour my brother on the other side of the pond. All the best Dean. Wales, UK.
Hay bro. I wore out my cartage between my knees also. Doctors were no help. I made cartilage rich soup as a daily drink, upped my vitamin c a huge amount and just took it easy. It realy worked!
I have to say this video was one of my favorites of yours, great stuff, thanks so much for sharing. And for something that might frequently go unappreciated, great work on the audio. You're always so clear, but for that to be the case on this windy trip really shows you know what you're doing. [Hope you can recover quickly! Those darn joints heal so slowly.]
Been there done that Feb. 1999 and yes it's a treasure. Same conditions as you. By the way that shelter was designed to be slept in the loft. Less wind and well you know snow. Nice video brought back some memories. Yes it was solo. Peace
I would love to see u make a video of u tracing back ur ancestors to the Civil War and find the place that he had passed away at and read the plaque, I would find that very interesting
Awesome adventure...wish I had been with you...pushing one year later hope and pray your knee recovered w/o surgery...keep `'um coming...you have me glued to youtube!
That was one of your best! To have an aching knee in the freeze like that and to keep filming, you really worked to get a great video and succeeded 100%. You are courageous. Well done.
Joining the service is a fine decision. Even if you don't make it a career, at term of service will pay off in many ways. Your young lady will be exposed to character building experiences second to none. Gratz.
Having backpacked in the Mt. Roger National Recreation Area for 20 years and having hiked almost all the trails in the Mt. Rogers High Country, here are a few comments. The trail that you started on at Elk Garden is the Virginia Highlands Horse Trail rather than the Grayson Highlands Horse Trail. Also the intersection with the AT was at Deep Gap at minute 13:15 in the video. A 200 foot connector trail to the AT was directly behind you as you were facing the old sign. By missing this connector trail you had to bushwack up to the AT later. Finally Mt. Rogers, the highest point in Virginia is only 5,729 feet and based on Trails Illustrated Map #318, Mt. Rogers High Country, the highest point of your hike at Thomas Knob Shelter was about 5,400 feet.
I learned to put my clothes in my sleeping bag during cold nights to keep them warm! I simply lay them out inside the bag and put a blanket on top to sleep on. Learned this ~ 35 years ago while camping in 20 degree F on fishing trips.
Luke I've enjoyed your channel for almost a year now. Can't remember how long I've been a subscriber, but I wish I knew you back seven years ago when I was not an invalid. I have Congestive Heart Failure, 2 titanium knees, total reversal shoulder replacement and a while ago I had my femur top sheer off requiring a new hip. I have asthma, and COPD. Life is fun now, watching you and Suzanne do the things I did with my 2 brothers growing up on the Wisconsin/Upper Michigan state line. We considered a blizzard to be our call to arms (each with pack sized shovels). We used to tunnel in snow banks that were 6'-8' tall. If the snow was drifted high enough and wouldn't allow egress out the front door (the back door was never used), we would be allowed to jump out the 2nd story windows. Snow was so deep it felt like landing on a bed of foam rubber. When I moved to the Aspen, Colorado area I spent pieces of 2 years living in a tent. I favored the 5-7 man tent as I lived there.(Not a "Hot Tent") My warmth was the fireplace with reflectors and fine log furniture. (the kind you can leave out in the elements for the next person.) Built some snow caves and warmed them with candles. All that is gone now. But.....I get to live it through you, and Matt, and Steve. When I see him go "Bushwacking " and light his campfire with a blowtorch (that's C.W.S.) and the man of my old stomping grounds That's Matt and his two dogs(kids). But it's mostly you Luke, who I live thru now. You love blizzards and winter like I did. I live in my bed via your channel into the "WILDS OF MY BEDROOM" ! I even find myself pricing out the gear you use (as if I'm actually going to use it)
I’m a maintenance TL in East Tennessee that produces aircraft parts and sometimes I have time to kill and love watching your videos. It may sound silly but I just put myself in your place and try to journey along with you. I don’t have much time to go on trips like this much but when I do I really helps to unwind. I joined the Army in 98 when I graduated and then in 01 OIF went off and was down range 18 months. Wish your daughter the best in her military career!
Just finished watching the adventure Luke, now that was an amazing trip. I've done some like that and I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my craziness. Lol I hope the knee injury doesn't turn out to be anything serious bud. Take care.
They are calling for 24 degrees tonight and I’m sitting in my lazy boy watching this on t.v. It’s making me cold just watching.Hope your knee is better.Thank you for all the videos.
This reminds me it would be advantageous to bring a small spray bottle of magnesium oil for aches and pains on mountain trekking adventures!! Nice gear, love these trips!
Oh Yah. Enjoyed being with you on your hike. I lived in Minneota for 31 years and did a fair amount of hiking but no overnight stuff. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Luke buddy-I want to first and foremost preface that I know for a certainty that you my friend know way more than me when it comes to the outdoors. But knowing to even but a small degree the dire conditions that possibly awaited you such as the possible high winds and freezing temps/snow, I'm somewhat baffled you forgot you to throw in some ski goggles to protect your eyes. I live in similar terrain and would never leave home without them. Live and learn I guess:) I really enjoyed this video Luke and appreciate what you are willing to do and the sacrifices you make--very few would do this and this brotha sets you apart from many other UA-camrs. You definitely walk the walk and I know I speak in behalf of your almost 90K followers. I have learned so much from you--thanks my friend. I sincerely hope your lower extremity is ok. Keep us posted buddy. -Shane
Love you.. Love you...love you....thank you for NOT editing out the difficult bits...that's how we all LEARN... I would camp with a man like you ( knowledgeable but always learning) over the " I am PERFECT do as I say & let me you critique you" guy ANYDAY...Thanks for the adventure!!!!!
Good point. I was thinking that goggles would trap the moisture released by the eyes and that MAY cause fogging and icing inside the goggles. Thanks for the reply. Next year maybe Luke can test both options and let us know.
Around 18 years ago I moved over to my first mtn stove that uses the blended fuel canisters.. I never sold my white gas stove as I still have them.. Couple canisters of fuel in my pack and the stove folds down and goes in my cup.. Works great every time.. As it stands now I own 4 of those blended fuel stoves.. Cold weather performance is not bad either.. I place a insulated pad on the ground under the tank. Couple days of testing boiling water using my fastest , highest output white gas stoves to compare them to the blended fuel models.. I'm impressed..
Your a good person with a good and blessed soul who loves the outdoors and loves sharing that with the world, and we thank you for that. Stay safe and blessed Luke.

Interesting story Wolfgang, thanks for taking the time to share.
I love that you go out in extreme weather instead of just when it's nice. Great adventure!
Luke's the Best! Bless him. He is so refreshing & has a pure Soul ♡ Love his adventures!
True I'd like to be a real friend with him.
I really loved this one. That winter scenery is so incredibly beautiful, enhanced by the sound of the high winds. I hope that knee injury is temporary.
Luke hope you are recovering from your knee Injury. Thank you for making this video for us despite your injury.
Awesome video. I imagine that everything you went through with your back has given you some skills for dealing with pain. If my knee hurt that bad, I would have called in sick and stayed at the shelter...
I’d rather watch you than Netflix! Get more pleasure and enjoyment in your real adventures. Thank you! From “0ld Lady” who never got to camp.
For real, turned off the Big Bang theory to watch this god-sent channel
I so agree with this ! Real drama found Here and other YT places, my first place

My wife made me go shopping half way through, but finished it when I got back. Great video Luke!
@TheCrimsonChip : not whipped, respectful
@TheCrimsonChip : , did your wife’s boyfriend tell you to post that?
A true survival story
I started carrying a pair of ski goggles when I hike and expect a big storm. They really help a bunch.
Was thinking the same. Huge help in a driving snow or when snow blowing during a blizzard.
I mentioned in another thread I NEVER snow hike, but one time, during august, we were so high up on a trail that there will still huge patches of snow/ice trails on the north side of the mountain as the trail would traverse back and forth. I never experienced snow blindness before, but when the sun hits the expanse of snow it’s truly blinding! Thank god I had sunglasses with me.
I thank you Luke for a great cold Winter adventure. Take care of that knee.

I love how you showed the aftermath of you your trip first to build suspense and curiosity.
Luke thanks for the great content. Great shots with a bum knee and still putting out a good vid. Thanks man
Binge watching your adventures for a little peace. Thank you sir.
I really enjoy your talking as you go!!
Thank you so so much. Im disabled and i would never see this on my own. Thanks again.
Those conditions would be too much for me,but great to see how it should be done.Thanks for sharing Luke,and your daughter is awesome for joining the military;good luck to her.
That wind was the "icing" on the hike! I didn't hear any complaints about cold fingers. Those mittens/gloves are awesome!
Great video buddy. I love that area and with snow its really beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Congrats and good luck to your daughter !!

I would never do what you just did, solo.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching and commenting. - Luke
why do you say that?
@@GruntProofcause he gives him respect i believe
Made me shiver, luckily it's 75' outside so I wasn't cold for long. Always wanted to hike in the snow, thanks for doing it for me.
Wow Luke,
I've been a viewer for about 3 years now and this is hands down my favourite video you have made
Keep up the amazing work Luke!
-Ashley
Hiked most of that section Thursday, No snow but lots of rain, Love that section
I've been looking forward 2 this Luke. Thanks!
I would love to see u make a video of u tracing back ur ancestors to the Civil War and find the place that he had passed away at and read the plaque, I would find that very interesting
You have mad video production skills. The style keeps my attention more than other channels.
We appreciate your work in these videos, more so because of all the camera placements and retracing your steps, not to mention editing.
Thanks Luke for sharing your adventure . I'm sure it's difficult to film in those conditions. Hope the knee is better
Great adventure there Luke!Glad ya' got your wish for some snow an don't forget the wind!Thanks for a chilly overnight brother! ZZ.
Awesome video adventure Luke! Thank you once again!!!
Awesome adventure...wish I had been with you...pushing one year later hope and pray your knee recovered w/o surgery...keep `'um coming...you have me glued to youtube!
Great stuff! Hope your leg is better. Need to put an Ace bandage in your IFAK. Good luck to Maddie. Loved the stories of your relatives.
The leg is just now beginning to heal up. Thanks Legalize. - Luke
Anyone enjoying watching this adventure in 2024?
Hi Luke great vids love watching the storms good informative reviews keep up the good work cheers
Sure did enjoyed this video!!! Yes look forward to many more. We live in Va near the Appalachian trail. You are a brave soul.
Another great overnight adventure.......Oh, yeah!!!
I've been looking all over youtube for videos like this, camping while enduring bad weather and storms with just essentials. Awesome content!!
Wooooohooo. Get yourself a cup of coffee ladies and gents and enjoy

Lately I've been nothing but binge watching your videos. Thanks for sharing 👍
Great video Luke. I wish we had weather like that in my part of the UK. We don't very often get snow like that here
And through the pain, still you expended your energy into setting up shots for the enjoyment of your viewers like me.
Outstanding! Chromecasted it to the "big" TV and made it a movie night
with the family. Six thumbs up from your friends in Western Maine!

Looks like a pair of goggles would have been a good idea. Awesome video!
Surplus military eye protection would have been a game changer here.
He started out with snazzy sunglasses...
A cheep pair of safety glasses
What's nice about goggles is that they seal around your face and keep everything out.
Good point. I was thinking that goggles would trap the moisture released by the eyes and that MAY cause fogging and icing inside the goggles.
Thanks for the reply. Next year maybe Luke can test both options and let us know.
Great Video Luke, Hope your knee is okay I was going to bed and saw you had posted your video, couldn't wait had to watch.
This video is awsome. It was neat watching the snow coming closer and closer and closer. Wow then it was there. Thanks for that buddy.
Around 18 years ago I moved over to my first mtn stove that uses the blended fuel canisters.. I never sold my white gas stove as I still have them.. Couple canisters of fuel in my pack and the stove folds down and goes in my cup.. Works great every time.. As it stands now I own 4 of those blended fuel stoves.. Cold weather performance is not bad either.. I place a insulated pad on the ground under the tank. Couple days of testing boiling water using my fastest , highest output white gas stoves to compare them to the blended fuel models.. I'm impressed..
This is going to be an Epic Video.
You Sir, are the Coolest.
That was AWESOME wish I were there 💪👌👍👍
That was exciting. You must do a review on those gloves. Great job Luke.
Mike

A person could get in a lot of trouble when the weather is like that.
Not when you've achieved badass level.
Hope you have a good hat in your backpack.
