Who’s still watching in 2021? One of my fav channels. We love you Luke!
Me
Still a subscriber since this video
Me 😎😂🇬🇧💖👍
Watching this in 2022
Still watching in 2022 here.
4 years later and I'm still watching this over and over. Absolutely brilliant content as always!
And comparing it to his vids now.. radically different. He looks young even now, but he looked like a baby back then 😂
You may just be one of the most likable human beings I've come across on UA-cam.
What's remarkable about this, is that Luke looks like a kid here and all grown up now. Not many men can add the muscle Luke has added in his forties. Those camp meals are doing him good! 🤜🏾
I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman with the 3rd Marine Division in Vietnam way back in 1969. I remember laying under my shelter half on the top of a mountain near the DMZ listening to Neil Armstrong on a little transistor radio as he stepped onto the surface of the moon. My next duty station was at the Marine Corps Air Station at Kaneohe, Hawaii. While there, a TV crew from the old Hawaii 5-O series came to our base to request some military "extras" for a scene being filmed at the airport in Honolulu. I volunteered and got to spend a day watching how the crew made the scene happen that I was in. I'm 67 years old now but I can go to Hulu any time I want and watch that old episode that I was in as a 25 year old kid. Hey, thanks for the video!
William Burr, Devil Doc! My dad was a Corpsman in Vietnam '68-'69 with the C-Bees.

God Bless and thank you for your service.
The moon landing was faked!!!!!!
Thank You for your service!
Right on.
I went thru basic training in the US Army in the early 60's. The drill sergeants never touched us, but they got right in our faces and shouted. It was very intimidating (and effective) because they were all super in-shape and you knew you wouldn't do well at all in a physical conflict with them. The only pain they inflicted was through the pushups and laps you would have to do if/when you goofed up.
That was a great fire you had! Thanks for the video.
Hooah! Not much had changed because in 1999 when I joined they’re still in your face so close I could smell his wife’s chapstick from his breath!! Lol!! But soon I graduated that mean DS was my brother in arms! Once 9/11 happened and OEF & OIF was kicked off and was deployed down range I really appreciated the DS’s being hard on us!!
I've really been inspired by this amazingly detailed and highly enjoyable video. Such a friendly and pleasant experience. Living here in England we get all kinds of weather throughout the year that can come at very short notice. I'm 37 and have only ever camped during Summer, never winter. I've just promised myself next snowfall, i'm going camping. Thank you Luke for this awesome video.
Your a good man, thanks for the veteran shout out.
If I had a nickle for every time I have watched this video the past 4yrs.. Well I would have about Ehh $5 or so!! Great channel!!
how do i get this guys attitude man hes the definition of optimistic which is important in survival and military situations also great video
One of my favorites. I like the equipment reviews. I like the sharp commentary on style and what makes sense. Great attitude. I guess it's a blessing; not everyone is happy for some reason. But, I disagree about the mag fire starter. The cord is plenty long. Use shorter strokes. It's not like swinging at a baseball.
He was the same in elementary and high school. Nice guy.
Just choose to
You don't need his. You've got what it takes. Go for launch.
Watched the entire show, What I liked most was your great attitude and enthusiasm. I rarely watch a video this long. Great Job!
Stev Daws Thank you very much Stev.Nice to meet you.

Interesting to hear about your grandfather and his experiences of WW2... my two grandfathers had very different experiences during the war, my fathers father joined the British Army in April 1939, he was a member of the 8th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry and fought the Germans in France in 1940 at Arras and then was evacuated at Dunkirk... he left the Durham Light Infantry to join a new unit called the Commando's in 1941, in 1943 was sent to the East to fight the Japanese, on the way his ship was attacked by Italian aircraft and then the entire flotilla was re-routed to fight the French on Madagascar, eventually he did get to India and fought the Japanese right thoughout Burma as part of 5 Commando... so he fought against (or at least was shot at) by every country Britain took on in WW2... my other grandfather was 12 in 1940, living in Tartu, Estonia. The Russians came to the town rounding up "volunteers" and whilst my grandfather was out hunting they tried to get his father and eldest brother to join the army, they refused, were put against a wall and shot dead. My grandfather and the few remaining young men of the town fled westwards. He joined the German army and worked as a translator (his mother was a teacher and taught various languages, including Russian and German), but he was sent to France in 1944 to be a translator where thousands of Russian prisoners worked on Hitlers Atlantic Wall defences against an Allied invasion. When the Allies landed he surrendered to the first American he saw, who shot him after taking his fathers watch and money. The American must have thought he'd killed him because he left him for dead but another American came along and they got a medic to look after him, eventually he was sent to England to get better and after a short time in a prisoner of war camp decided to stay in England.
Two Plus Two, That was some amazing history, so many people were dragged into uncontrollable circumstances. Thank you for sharing
The first American CJ Hobby Fly
Fellow Estonian?
If your grandfather came to India and fought the Japanese in Burma, I believe he must have been in the battle of Kohima my native land in Nagaland, India
@@odiofoz5694 he was in 5 Commando... I believe they were in reserve during the Kohima Battle so he didnt take part in that action. He fought in the Arakan, mostly raiding Japanese held ports and villages along the coast.
Quick tip, put the MRE meal in the bag first then add water, It will keep you from burning your finger if the thermal reaction is too quick also you can shake the meal/bag to make sure the water hits the whole heating pad and lastly put the meal in backwards into the box gives it better seal, It may blow up the box so keep an eye on it, Semper Fi Good video TY
3River Blades&Survival Thank you brother.
Be well and take care of yourself.
- Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview I really enjoyed your video it was very educational and fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
Spoken like a man who remembers vividly burning his finger on an MRE after fighting the battle of 43 easting
Also, take your knife and open the MRE bag LENGTHWISE, instead of where the bag has its tear points-makes it much easier to eat, instead of getting food and shit all over your fingers, when you try to get the last 1/3 of the food out of the bag.
*A USGI seat belt cutter
escue hook makes a great MRE opener.
*If you come across a "Gregory" Lage Ruck, or better yet, the whole pack system (Lage Pack, Assault Pack, Butt Pack, and the 4 MOLLE pockets to add to either Lg or Assault packs, and the series of stuff sacks as well...great system.)Pick it up....I loved it. It came in Woodland or 3 color desert camo. or, very rare, black.
*Whee did you pick up the tent in this video? In US Army SOF, we were issued a different individual tent than this, however, I like this better, and would like to get one, tho, anything with "US Navy SEAL" attached to,or in the product name, the price-for some stupid reason-becomes very inflated. Still, I would like to see if I could afford one, or trade one of my US Army SOF tents for one of these.
*Do you carry a IFAK/First Aid kit with you? If not, you should really think about getting and carrying one for emergencies that may arise on the trail.
john king I doubt it he read the directions on the MRE
I want whatever you're on, dude. You are the happiest person I've ever seen who appears completely sober.
I just found your channel and love this video. Thank you for taking us housebound types out camping with you. I miss camping and living outdoors.
Ok concerning the tent. The 2 man tents we (USMC Infantry) used before were covered with a fly, and the poles ran under. When we would get out often in a rush in Afghanistan. When water or snow was puddled up on top it would soak us, our weapons, and gear. Which in -30 degrees would make for a very terrible excursion. We were in the Hindu Kush and Tora Bora mountains back in 04. To add some extra insulation plus some concealment (several green or tan tents sticking out like a turd in the snow is the enemy's best dream) so we shoveled snow up the sides to make a wind barrier. After the contractors got word of how bad those tents royally sucked, they changed the design. The exterior poles catches rain and diverts it off to the side of the tent. Unlike the old 2-person where all the rainwater fell off around the tent making puddles underneath even if we dug diversion lines around. And when it snows...the roof is covered and all the extra falls off the sides for better insulation and serves as concealment. I hope that helps clear things up. Great video!

Semper Fi Brother.
Thank you, sir, for your service. What our military men/women go through for us, makes me shake my head. How could ANYONE put down our military and what they go through?.
Been watching lots of your videos brother and really enjoy them! Thanks for all the great tips and information you share. Really enjoy the overnight videos, I'm disabled and not able to go out and do them but enjoy the experience through your videos.
Tim Pollock Hey there Tim,
thank you so much for your kind words.
It means a lot my friend.
I'll keep making them for you.
Take care of yourself and be well.
- Luke
Tim Pollock I quite enjoyed the video so thank you and to the people who complain about your so called broken english you sounded fine to me
Great video! I love being in the woods when it's snowing, it's almost magical. There's a very nice silence while it's snowing for some reason, I love it. Thank you for taking the time to share. Be well & stay safe.
***** What a great point to make Tactical Defender. It really is almost magical when the snow is falling in the woods.
All the best my friend.
- Luke
is back yard camping not the wood, you can see 52:42 there a house in the back ground to his right, i dont think he mean for other people to see that, plus you can tell all those wood block are cuted nicely the chance are that his back yard camping
he said in the beginning tht he was camping behind his parents house. he gives an explanation to why he is doing so.
TacticalDefender, The snow muffles all the sound very nicely, with all its air pockets. Where I grew up we had an elevated train route. One of the passenger trains was named, The Phoebe Snow, and it was pulled by a big Diesel engine. It didn't make too much noise because it didn't go screaming through the city areas, but when we'd have a nice, heavy snow and it was at night time, when everyone was home, The Phoebe Snow would come along and there was just a low growl because of the sound-damping of the snow. I loved it. We had old-time street lights-gas- and I still think about how beautiful it was at night, with the golden glow of the lights, with the snow falling and absolute quiet. Snow on the trees. I felt like I was inside of a Christmas card. You're right--It is magical.
I’m 80 and disabled and I do so enjoy your programmes:strength and honour
Strength and Honour!
I was a SEER Instructor for the Air Force and it brings back a lot of memories watching the videos you do. Keep up the good work.
I was Security Forces and CATM. Watching you guys, as well as the other INDOCs, lug those packs EVERYWHERE around Medina and Lackland. I know PJs earned the blue ascots, did yall get those as well? Cheers to you for making SERE Instructor!
I didn't read all the comments so this might have been covered, but your tent seems to be missing the rain fly. Those seams would hold liquid water also.
Liquid water???
I like seeing the house in the background. That's where I would of slep. Lol
This is a great video, great speaker and good insight. Look forward to watching your other videos.
Darren Charron Thank you Darren.
Be well my friend.
- Luke
Not only do your videos flow smoothly, but are also chocked full of very useful and informative tips and information. I thoroughly enjoy your easy going, positive attitude, and your love for the outdoors is refreshing and very apparent. Thank you for doing what you do and please keep up the outstanding videos rolling out!
The amount of times he says I'll tell you what😂😂 love it
thanks Luke for showing every one this video it was great. makes me wish I was young again. keep up the good work!
This is a great introduction to a winter gear review. Loved it.
This is my favorite gear got mine for free, kinda I like how you present this video and improvise when you find something useful grab it and use it.
Hey Luke, 'food for thought", next time you eat an MRE, try cutting it long ways. it makes a nice little bowl out of the entree packet. Great video bro, Keep-em-comin!
Wouldnt it get colder faster though? Other than that its a great idea
@@spikeswallow4010 not really.
I'm newer to the channel and I'm enjoying this old video. I can see how much you have developed your site to the powerhouse it currently is. Very enjoyable and interesting. By the way, my Grandfather who served in the US Navy during both World War 1 and 2, had experienced two peacetime different vessels get shipwrecked within a 20 year span while he served as part of the enlisted crew. Imagine!
we have never met but I love your vid man, I was a Royal Marine, and I love the field too. thanks Man
I think your content is great ! God Bless ! Big MILITARY RESPECT !
Your enthusiasm is contagious. You always have a great time and clearly love the outdoors. Thanks, Amigo
The one thing I do like about the tent is how well it blends in with the environment. The light brown really blends in with it's surroundings.
The satisfying crack of snapping old dry wood 😂
The MRE you chose is actually an 8 on the scale. You have to eat some of the more nasty ones first. Then the spaghetti is actually pretty good.
LOL the EGG MRE will make the one he has a 15
Hahaha the "Omelette w/Ham" was LOATHED!!!! I had a few in 97 during Basic.....Chicken ala King and Scalloped Potatoes were a close 2'd in the nasty department....then...the No1......4 Fingers of Death....gross...
The apple cinnamon oatmeal is gruel. Had two pouches one morning for breakfast. Felt sick as a dog.
pesto chicken was horrible
Jay Miner chicken la shit more like it haha- i hated that mre while in osut.
Hi Luke love watching these military gear vids. Have you thought of doing a all British military gear camp and review?? Would be good to see that. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 cheers
Josh
Wow I really enjoyed this review and video as a whole! I am new to camping and currently gathering the right gear for winter expeditions, so it is really nice to see such an in-depth guide as yours! And I just love your enthusiasm about just about everything you get your hands on, its great to watch someone who is truly enjoying what they do! :D I almost didn't believe I'd ever find someone who loves snow the same way as I do :) Man I'd be stoked to get out in conditions like this! Unfortunately I live in Denmark where winter consists mostly of rain, and without mountains, so I need to travel around in europe to get similar conditions, but that won't stop me from hunting that snow. It's like an addiction.. just worse ;) But yeah, great video and best of luck with future tours like this!
Daniel Kemnitz Haha Brother we must be kindred spirits because I love snow! Bring it on! I've been waiting all summer and it's right around the corner now.
I appreciate your kind words my friend and I wish you all the best on your search!
- Luke
Loving the military surplus theme. For me the most interesting videos. That said, sat here in the UK liking all your vids. Keep doing what you're doing it's top draw.
Top drawer isnt it? Where they keep the better quality/more useful items.
I plan to teach my grands to build a simple shelter this spring. I am taking notes. Great viewing!
Don't throw away the spoon! They last forever! I've been using one for over 5 years!
Really good...
"Once a year go someplace you’ve never been before.”
Reminds me of a story about a man and his wife discussing their anniversary. The man asked his wife, “where would you like to go for our anniversary? She said, “take me somewhere I have never been before”. His reply......”how about the kitchen”?....lol
Back in the 80s I was going thru Army Basic and during a run I was starting to lag behind. Not saying I was hit but I felt a boot kick my ass. I soon picked up the pace for fear what could be next. Looking back whoever did that was giving me the "boost" I needed to carry on lol.....
Jim the difference couldn't cache me to kick me in the ass .
Grown up with the army so going through OSUT was a joke. All their tuff guy screaming routine lol . I new it was all bullshit and once you were done it was a cake walk at the unit level don't fuck up too bad get 300's at pt . Till you get a sham shield best rank in the army all down hill after that then its all gravy .You really got to be a tool to screw up in the army or have fubar family issues but that's usually because your a tool there too.
Several years back when I was still very healthy in great shape as you are Luke, I remember I used to love sleeping out in tent in the snow,.. Just listening it come down and hit the tent. Sleeping getting all that cool fresh air. Becoming part of the woods, closer to nature etc,, I used to get as happy as you do.. So I definitely can relate Luke. Happy for you my friend... Stay Healthy Stay Safe, God Bless, Amen...
You my friend are a Madman love you videos brother, I am a lot older now and have never been winter camping but watching you has actually made me want to do it
That polypropylene bag is an awesome find! I just ordered a couple of them for gathering firewood on the trail. Great video!
Great video, you contagiously made me yawn at 48:49 ! Can't wait to see more !
Bon courage !
This was my favorite overnight adventure!!
My brothers, friends and I experienced exactly this back in the early 80's while camping. We went to bed Saturday night with clear skies above and woke up Sunday morning with 8-10 inches of snow on the ground. We had no clue a storm was coming in, either. It's one of the best camping trips I've been on, and we still talk about it to this day. Thanks for reliving those memories for me.
Wow, finally someone who isn't an armchair extreme weather camper actually in the field, amazing! Hats off to you, sir. Great vid!
Thx for sharing Unable to go out due to an arm infection. It’s hard living in the mountains and just looking out the window. Hope all is great. Cheers
Get well soon Rocky!
- Luke
It needs to be winter! This will be my first full winter in the mountains of NC. :)
Love your vids, mate. Keep up the great work. (Work??? What am I saying? You're clearly having a blast.)
Thanks for the video, enjoyed your review on the pack, bought one myself yesterday and impressed with all the room.
My dad was in the US Navy SEA BEES during WWll and spent his time in the pacific with the marines. They would land and take the beaches and move inland and then he and the other SEA B's would follow and start constructing what ever needed built. He was a meat cutter cook and helped feed all the other sailors in his unit as well as marines and pilots who might happen to show up. The first thing he would do was set up the generators and then start making ice. During these stages, island kids would be curious and follow him and other sailors around as they had never seen anything like it. He enjoyed seeing their expressions when he would put ice in their hands. He fed them ice cream with the same results. That was his best memories of the war.
MREs... Meals Refusing to Exit
Parker Smithson, never had a problem with them
@@jamesluck2969 for me it's meals ready to exit. Lol
@@deanhallockify Makes Runny Excrement
$200.00 for a pair of pants???
yeah thats not happening
you'r right lol
yheaaa... i agree it s expensive but the fjallraveen pants are awsome and indestructible got mine as a chrismast present two year ago and it is the only pants i wear in the wood !
There's like a million pairs of old surplus german/swedish military wool pants. They cost anywhere around 35-50 bucks on eBay depending on your size. They are very sturdy, they are thick, they are warm, and they absolutely will not fail you. Amazing value for the money I would check it out
They are nothing compared to Fjällräven pants.
I know right? who's this guy working for ;)
Sure wasn't expecting a story about a Nazi grandfather getting run over, I have to say.
Unresolved grandpa issues me thinks..😆😆😆
8 years ago. And I’m just watching this. I would have thought this was a month or 2 ago. Awesome videos man.
Love this video. Starting out in a beautiful dry camp and ending in a beautiful snow storm. I just wish you could have stayed another day.
I honestly am not sure if you are ex military? You mentioned not being comfortable in camo? Either way, I respect the heck out of you for doing a military surplus load out. Few of these items I carried myself. Thank you for this. 👍
No he is not ex-military - his daughter is in the Navy now.
I enjoyed your video on military items. If you could in the future could you add links or access to your load out list of items.
Forget the military surplus, I need to get me one of those burlap sacks.
You want burlap sacks for kindling? The large dog food bags are great for that cause they are made of woven plastic. They are free, indestructable, lightweight, and nothing sticks to them.
Somebody missed the joke...😢
My wife & I built a beautiful home in New Hampshire.. All kinds of wildlife all around us. Out by the pool we had a fire pit, we had a fire going 24/7 365 days a year, unless we left the home w no one there. In the winter we had the fire cranking sitting out by it w a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, plus we had a big hot tub we kept going all winter long right next to it on the deck,, We'd walk from kitchen out sliding doors 3 steps in the deep snow and fall into the hot tub. NOTHING beats the feeling sitting in a blizzard, snow pouring down on top of you when you're neck deep in hot tub.. OMG we had it made.. Thankyou Lord for great memories...
Still watching it after 7 years before sleeping, your videos are calming luke.
add about 60-70 pounds to that and thats the weight a average soldier carries awesome video by the way
cheers

GIOVANNA VITACCHI ?
Zachery Syganiec full battle rattle was just over 80 lbs for me most trips. I'm glad these days I don't have to carry a 249 for camping, those damn pork chops are heavy!
70 pounds? Whoopty-doo...I'm obese so I carry around an extra 150 pounds 24/7. Strap on 150 pounds and come walk a couple of miles with me and I'll humiliate you.
Yar Yar Yar...
Watched this twice now - great stuff!
The intro could be just a tad longer
+Not Required That's what everyone says. :D - Luke
Talk less...show more. cut intro down
+Not Required LMAO!
+Lesa Hatley agreed
R L but not by much
great spirits, good hearted dude, easy to tell you are a believer as well without you even saying it. Love it. Thanks for the great videos - would be great to hang with you out there and learn from you.
As a vet in the Marine Corps, during your Uncles time, yep he was right, I myself had it happen twice, once for forgetting my sixth general order, during a series commander inspection! I knew it, but during that inspection, I just forgot it. Even today it's the one I remember. "To receive, obey, and pass on the orders" and so on! This was at Parris Island! They break you down then build you back up!
Military surplus? I have a medium Alice pack with frame. . . carried 38 lbs. . . 5 days and 4 nights, hiking 24 miles with no trails. . . comfortable, reliable/durable, and roomy pack. . . . even inexpensive on Amazon
I have a large for my survival kit and a medium for my school backpack, I get a lot of comments on my "Big heavy backpack" but I just tell them I have a bigger one at home XD
Daniel Dinnell there are 2 sizes large and a small!! The frames on them suck!! Before you start talking shit! I'm a recently retired staff sargent with 25 years in service!! Army that is!! MRE ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE ALICE PACK!!
lol alice sucked haha that bullshit that replaced it was garbage im sorry that in 25 years nobody showed you how to wear an alice then.
And your point is?
No one deserves that kind of death. That is horrible for someone to die that way I am sorry. No matter what you have done even if it were so bad you have to forgive them and pray for them.
So if you tortured raped and killed 10000 kids, but it's okay still don't deserve it
That dude was captured, probably by the Russians. If he was murdering kids or raping during the war, the Russians would have killed him on the spot.
I've worked at Ameriqual making the MRE's here in my hometown of Evansville.
...and? No story, no info about their products?!?
Thanks for the inspiration! I plan to do the same this winter
Back in the day, when I used to camp bushcraft style, that was my biggest worry: what if a tree falls on me, pinning me down. I had nightmarish visions of having to cut my leg off and crawl back to civilization for help. Great video, sir!
Hey brother. Love the videos. Would you be able to do a gear review on the Eberlestock G4 operator? You do some of the best reviews and I'm not finding a lot reviews on then G4 operator
I'm always fascinated in people's choices in equipment selection. not the ones that don't actually use their gear, but folks like us that spend time in in the woods / backcountry. which is why I'm curious as to why you would choose to have a large serrated blade on your side in that environment. outside of very specific
applications/job types, I just see it turning a 5 or so in blade into a 3 or so inch one with no gain in benefit due to actual woodland type uses. I do happen to carry a small leatherman that has its own separate, serrated blade...but it's a companion tool and not my main blade. just curious is all. thanks for the video!
Damn I live in Blacksburg I didn’t expect to hear that in the opening
I'm diggin' the opening music selection here in the beginning Luke! It's neat to see an episode from long ago. You are a great host then as you are now. This is another fun episode to watch no matter the year. Also appreciate the info you share with us!
I learned over the years, coat hood go inside of coat, then pull up enough to cover back of neck (this will be the outside of hood) & when you need the full hood, just pull more or all. I also learned," always keep a small amount of kinder & wood in tent for any start ups you need. **Nice video **
Why do you say Swiss fire starter? don´t you mean Swedish? because they are not the same country. ;)
That intro tho! 2 minutes and 40 some seconds?!?! wteff dude?!
+69adrummer Hahaha I've learned a thing or two since then. This was one of my first videos and it's still one of the most popular. Thank you everyone for the support and feedback. - Luke
hey man! haha wasn't busting balls by any stretch!! good info and reviews!! take care
+69adrummer dude, that's great music....i'm more concerned about him introducing moist bacteria filled air into an insulated air mat...if it's down that's even worse....great video, hun. I have an eberlestock j51 Warhammer in dry earth coloration. best damned color that isn't camo. they make great packs!
@@TheOutdoorGearReview Love the intro and music!
Hello Luke, Talk about "Flash-Backs" this is the first time in 45 years that I've seen a Rubber Bitch, which by the way is great for Water Survival too, and transporting your Combat equipment across water ways. We didn't have sleeping bags just poncho liners but you would be surprised just how warm they will keep you. There were No MRE's either, we had C-Rats you had to open with a 'John Wayne' or P-38, Some times your K-bar. If you were not a Leatherneck I get the feeling you paid close attention to a MARINE, and YES D.I.'s did beat the snot out of you, in fact I stood at Attention while they (two of them) took turns punching me in the stomach where you don't bruise, Made me a better Man. The theory is if your going to break do it in Boot Camp not Combat where you can cost 200 of your Brothers their Lives. I will always Love & Respect the Corps and Damn Proud of it's elite Brotherhood. Tell your Uncle that Sgt. Hammer said SEMPER FI.
That's why I love to watch him and his wife. They are both optimistic and very upbeat. He sure enjoys life. They both do.
Grew up with a military family. My dad was Navy and spent most of my youth camping. We made our own food packs. Used heavy cooking foil and zip lock bags. He taught me how to build a fire in a dump down rain. Used pinecone with lots of sap and pine needles. Love cooking outdoors! Have not done and over nighters for a while. I used a pie iron a lot. You can cook a lot in one of those. Smaller & lighter weight the a frying pan. Love you videos. I live in Ohio so we see snow every year.
Did anyone else see that northeastern shallow stream fly catcher on the tree? a very rare Bird ,look at it in the tree right behind him , yeahhh that tree ya see it ? 20:23 into the film
intresting, vid im ex mil British. just a few obervations, A) if your telling us about a bit of kit, please put the info or a link to the kit below the vid.
the ridges Are ment to catch snow, so if in op it covers the tent, also keeps some warmth in like a artic hole would.
may be next time try some of our british rations, when i was in we used compo rations 1 24 hour packs or 1 10 man pack.
we also had artic rations for Norway etc. now we have dehydrated like your mre but with boil in the bag, as we use heximine cookers or crusader for cooking on.
lol i tried your guys " food " in iraq being diplomatic here but i was good after one time. Ours sucked 2 not saying they were good eather .Let's just say i spent a pretty penny on Mountain house for a year. But on the plus side i got a large bergen rucksack from one your guys and love that thing almost as much as my alice pack.
Ever heard of English? Try to use it properly.
Your British kit makes me jealous. Aussies don't have it bad either!
Crimson--Ever heard of kindness, or being decent? Doesn't look like it.
@@mawmawvee keep your preaching to yourself.
Has anyone ever told you that you look like neil patrick harris with a beard??
+Mark Mowers Sounds a bit like him aswell.
I don't care how old this video is... It's my favorite! Can't tell you how many times I've watched it.
My kids and I only use military surplus sleep system when we go outdoors!
Thank you for your videos.
Thanks for the vids Luke love watching theese vids in theese messed up times hope you and your family are all well sir
Thats a fantastic pack. Is it water resistant? Water proof? That was a genius fire technique, I gotta try that.
love the video except that Gerber. I'll never buy another Gerber anything. two fixed blades in a row broke/messed up within the first day of backpacking/bushcraft. then I finally decided to get a Gerber saw even though I knew I shouldn't. it bent the first night. never again. (then again, if you've used that knife enough to mod it, you know your gear, that knife might be a good fit for you)but still, cool video!
+Paleo James Thank you for sharing your thoughts Paleo! For the most part, I am not a fan of Gerber myself either. Which knives broke for you? - Luke
+TheOutdoorGearReview two of the bear grylls (what did I even expect? I only got a second because it was 50 bucks,and walmart replaced it) and another fixed blade before that. I do believe the one you have though is alot better quality though, isn't it?
You might not see this, but what's the name of the tent you used in this video? It looks great for my kind of camping. Also keep up the good work, love your videos!
Thank you very much. :D
That is the Mountain Hardwear Hunker 1.
Have a good one.

+TheOutdoorGearReview I used to use a rubber b**** in the Marine Corps. I think we called it that because it was more of a sleeping partner.
TheOutdoorGearReview Hey Luke thanks for doing this type of reviews and i love the Les Stroud style of camera work so we can see all the surrounding terrain and nature as you walk and talk.
Thanks for sharing this video with us.
From one Virginia son to another I wanted to thank you for sharing. I am very familiar with the areas I have been able to determine the actual locations via your descriptions. SWVa is absolutely glorious and a true outdoorsman's paradise!
Well done and thanks again! Looking forward to catching up with all your reviews as I just discovered your channel...
that snow trapped on the roof could help insulation factor
Try using a big trash bag to blow up the mattress pad!
Sounds like your Step-Grandfather was captured by the Russians. That would explain the aversion to red, and the torture. One of my close relatives spoke fluent German and he was assigned as an interrogator for G2. They didn't torture. Your SG also, more than likely, had severe PTSD. This anxiety disorder presents with fear of abandonment, and distrust in everyone and everything. It also leads to an exaggerated sense of control of all of those around them-nothing red at the table. This might also explain the anger and surly personality. Read about it, and see if your SG didn't act like he might have had. Most all of the vets that came back from WW2 had it and it was never treated.

Another possibility.
+zak the zebra doubt it, like, at all.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this, but a lot of people can't understand that child abuse always leaves ptsd behind. Find someone to talk to about it. Dig the old emotions up and puke 'em out.
Maybe he just likes blue.lol
