    Now we know that even experienced campers can be surprised and suffer from fickle Mother Nature. Even so, he had the experience and equipment to make the best of it. This is why Luke harps on ensuring your gear is waterproof and you know how to use it. Thanks, Luke!

This man can get hurt badly or robbed and it will be because he wants us to be safe on the GREAT OUT DOORS!!!! U ARE F--KIN KIDDING ME? NOW that is the most dumbest thing that I EVER HEARD!!!

      Absolutely agree, Mother Nature can be unpredictable! It's crucial to be prepared with reliable gear like the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. Its waterproof design and massive capacity make it a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Stay safe and enjoy your camping adventures!

I love the scenery, the weather, the setups, the food, the little bits of knowledge he shares with us. The unexpected things that sometimes happen. Great Channel. Can't get enough of it 👍

    I love watching your videos of rain, wind, lightning, adverse conditions, while I am toasty warm in bed with a cup of tea. I often ask myself while watching, "who in their right mind would choose to sleep outdoors in such conditions?" Not me! Glad it's you and not me. I can enjoy vicariously through your trips. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep the tea brewing.

    I'm not knocking Luke. I am experienced too also. Been surviving since I was 5 or 6 and have done it for years and years. I am 57 years old and suffered a defeat last week in the bad weather we had in Mississippi. The weather won and I suffered, as my motto was "always camp in a full enclosed tent, not tarps". Rolled me up like a damn burrito, Glad my hands were free as I grabbed my bowie knife and cut my way out of that mess. I walked soaked wet for 4 miles away from home. I arrived and went inside and showered and went to bed. I collected what was left 3 days ago.

  • @terrym1065
    @terrym1065 2 роки тому +2

    Hey Luke👍👍 Another test of your fortitude, not much you could do except endure. Tarps are great until the wind blows crazy sideways then their limitations show up quickly. Tarp and tent is my favorite way to camp but sometimes a person just needs more. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do with what ya got🤨 That's what I call a great meal and perfect for the situation, the stove not so much, I tossed all my stinky hazardous solid fuel stoves years ago, just too many better options available, YMMV. Too bad things went south and got wet but it could've been lots worse. Thanks for the work making this episode and bringing us along, made me appreciate my cabin, wood stove and hot cocoa...well done. Enjoy!

    I always enjoy watching these, rain, hail, snow or shine, you always film a great adventure. That LED string you used looked so neat. That sure was some storm, getting soaked isn't much fun but a "bad" day in the outdoors beats a "good" day at work... I wonder if that alcohol hand cleaning gel would work as well or better than that "fire gel" for less than half the price?

    SE Texas here. We always prepare for straight line winds and sideways driving rain when camping. It’s par for the course. Free standing tarps with a trekking pole or branch doesn’t cut it down here. Check your weather before heading out and know where the wind directions are coming from and how strong they are predicted to be. If over 30-40 mph, seek other shelter other than a tent or tarp.

    In the Aussie army we used to cook cans of beans and sausages by denting them with a whack to your boot heel. Pop them on the stove or fire and when the dent pops out, remove and open. Worked a treat and you ate out of the can (wear a glove or use your bush hat, of course) leaving nothing to wash up. Pay attention as if you miss the dent popping out it wasn't long before the can went off like a little hand grenade.

    I think you had a fantastic time, it may have been bad but when you're ready and prepared you do what we call in the army: ranger up. It means no matter what is thrown at you you deal with it and over come it. You did just that. We call that ranger pride and you have it. That is why I watch you thats called ranger pride. To me you are ranger material if you'd have been in you'd have been looked for. Be proud of over coming and doing it in style. As for me you are range strong.

    Beautiful music and photography at the end. I appreciate your dedication to your craft. The amount of backtracking and camera setup you endure just to make *our* experience more immersive and cinematic is greatly appreciated. I'm sorry your adventure was as miserable as it was, but I'm glad you slept relatively warm. Thank you for your tireless efforts to bring us along on your adventures.
