A tornado warning here in Alabama means a tornado has been sighted. A tornado watch means conditions are favorable to form a tornado.
About the same here in Texas. We have a high tornado risk here in the Dallas/Ft Worth area and whenever we get a warning, we know immediately what's going on.
Same in Tennessee 👍
Tornado warnings are issued if a tornado had been spotted in the field or the radar shows a tornado signature. Radar indicated tornados don’t always materialize into a real tornado.
Yes Larry you are right. I live in tornado alley. A warning means a funnel cloud has been spotted. A watch means conditions are favorable for a warning.
Exactly
Birmingham Native here.
No need to apologize for the light, definitely adds to the atmosphere.
I thought it added to the ambiance quite well
...😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
As a youngster I did a lot of camping with the scouts in the mid 70's until about '80. We never had a "general shelter" like a good tarp provides. Maybe they were too heavy back then. I would never go out today without a large, good tarp.
MEeee to, with an AquaQuest Safari tarp to be specific
I was a scoutmaster in the late 80's and early 90's. Equipment has come so far since then. You are right, tarps were heavy and not always fully waterproof in Western Washington back then. You could equate tarps back then with Harbor Freight tarps today. We always carried transparent plastic to throw over the tent. Never put up a tarp for general gathering since the plastic was too prone to ripping. This video brings back so many memories, Thank you, so much.
BTW, don't fret much over lighting. These new cameras all have High Dynamic Range and excellent low-light sensitivity. Instead of muddled darkness, we're seeing dramatic contrasts, all in good focus. Great stuff!
❤I love the rope lights. The ambiance is beautiful with the weather
Setting up a tarp is something that makes spending time in the outdoors a lot more fun. Could you make another video where you just go over setting up a tarp, picking a spot, etc?
When I saw the warnings I wondered if you were out camping. Glad you were able to stay safe!
I was too whew!!!!!!!
What’s joke
Wow! That was an exciting storm. Thank God the cabin was nearby for your safety. Awesome video. Thanks Luke
Luke I got caught in a bad storm while tarp and hammock camping and it was not fun. Enjoy your videos. Stay safe
Howd you get wet if you had protection?
Hey everyone, I just came across this new project called Freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike. I watched the video and I must say, the features and design of this e-bike are truly impressive! The fact that it can be charged indoors is a game-changer. The brushless 750W motor seems to provide incredible power while navigating different terrains, and the 80mm front suspension and puncture-resistant fat tires ensure a smooth ride in any condition. I also love the smart saddle detection+ feature, as it brings a new level of fitness and technology to cycling. Overall, this e-bike seems to offer a unique blend of versatility and sustainability. I'm definitely considering backing this crowdfunding project!
Kudos to you. I prefer my warm bed and a book but enjoy watching you endure Mother Nature by choice.
Great example of why you need a backup plan and alternate fuel sources and food options. It’s great that you have the “cabin” retreat.
I’m watching you during a tornado watch ahead of some major storms in my camper van in PA.
Thanks Luke for another relaxing and informative video.
If you are expecting that much rain, why don't you put your tent under the tarp too?? I mean I don't think any tent could withstand that much rain.
Mostly it's because he is weather testing the tent.
My cheap 50 euros décathlon tent could hold up that kind of weather fairly easily and that's just because the fly must be too close to the mesh in this case and the winds pushes it onto it
Ahh, rain....how refreshing. We haven't had a rain in 10+ weeks, come visit and bring some. Thanks for the cool weather trip, helps knowing there is some out there. Great wet weather camping, wish I had the opportunity. Enjoy you time outdoors, a sun blocking tarp is life saver here. Cheers!
I wish you would show more on how you set up your tarp shelters. I bought the anchors and 4 elephant poles and still struggle and setting up a tarp by myself. It has been a 2 hour struggle.
I camp with zero tree's around me.
You know what, I stumbled over your videos, I don't know how and I'm not even sure why the original video was even recommended to me as I hadn't watched or searched for anything related to what you do. That said I've watched a fair few now and I have to say that they're actually really enjoyable. I usually watch channel like these for a while and then I move on. If they've left an impression on me I'll randomly remember the channel and go back and see what they've been up to and binge through the video. However in this case I genuinely going to subscribe. I can see myself sticking around for a while. The rain certainly helps as I am a big lover of rain, if it could rain every other day without causing any issues at all I'd personally choose for it to do that. Anyway, I haven't camped for many many years but I enjoy the reviews, even if I'm never going to buy any of it. The videos are calm, informative and relaxing. Relaxing to the point that I had a video on last week and was watching it a bit before bed and as I was laying there I caught myself falling asleep half way through almost an hour video, don't worry, I picked it back up that next morning. Keep up the great videos and all the best to you.
Luke, This episode brought me back to my younger days when my buddy and I would camp in the woods. This was at a time when cell phones (and most of the gear you have) were not even thought of. Pack your stuff and head off into the woods and take it as it comes. Great times for sure. The rain hitting the tarp is like music to me. Very relaxing. Thank you sir!
Make the Coffee life is short.
Did you say Hunker down? I’m gonna tell Steve. 😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂.
Love this kind of camping
Thanks for tolerating the Nader warning. I love rainy weather. The sound of rain on a tarp is soothing.
We live basically in a forest. Lots of trees. Mostly a flat roof. The window is open. It's cool watching you and listening to the rain falling on the roof and through the leaves outside. I know what you mean about the canopy delaying rain reaching the ground.
I like the light. Lightning and thunder are scary for me.
Wow when you mentioned this video in the community post I never expected it to get this crazy. Rain is one thing but a tornado warning is something else!
Mr Luke, I must say you look your happiest in .the rain..lightning thunder. It scares me to death. Blessing to you and Susie. You are know your outdoor stuff. Be bless
These are the videos I love the most. Bring on the storm!!
This episode was so cosey...for me anyway😂...I don't mind if you talk or if you just enjoy the peace and the rain... I have you playing while I am sewing... thankyou for keeping me company❤
Another great adventure. 💨 Always interesting see what gear you use for each trip!
Thanks for enduring, Luke. Really glad you made the decision to go to the "cabin" and be dry for a few hours. If not, that tent would have been like a sinking boat! 😮
Unless you are doing a test review, in this weather I'd definitely be putting my tent under a tarp in this weather.. And for those who haven't tested their tents for waterproofing - then putting it under your tarp is even more important.
The tent should always be under the tarp completely, why would you trust a tent's waterproof rating 100 percent of the time. The tarp being over it as an additional fly is always there to protect you.
I’ve tested my Big Agnes Copper Spur in major storms. It’s good to know that your gear will withstand inclement weather.
As for the tarp being in a separate area, it allows you to sit and cook in dry conditions without having to be in the confines of a tent. Luke sets up his camp like this all the time. He’s always testing gear so it makes sense.
@@MsRotorwings Everything I've ever done as a camper screams at me that he's doing it wrong. If he's staying in the cabin and doing it on a storm test that's one thing but for his own personal trips I'd always have the tarp over the tent entrance to ensure that it's always dry and he doesn't have a ruined trip.
It’s for the views.
I think he doesn't want all that campfire smoke polluting his tents and sleeping bags. He also could have an alarm system that gives him more safety if tent and tarp shelters are separate.
Thanks for letting us know of your schedule of reviews on Sunday and Tuesday and then Thursday is the next adventure. I've been watching a few years and had no idea you have a schedule as to when reviews and adventures comes out. Great info - THANKS.
I would have put the tent underneath the tarp, especially if he hasn’t been tested in heavy wearing
That would defeat the entire point of testing the tents overall capabilities. Hell a Walmart tent would do well in storms if it has a tarp protecting it lol
Love it, brother. It's the balance of extremes (adventure and peaceful moments) that really make a trip standout (but that's just like my opinion, man).
I agree with your decision to stay in the cabin. It just seems like it would have been a very long and miserable night trying to sleep in a wet tent, and with a wet blanket. I love your show! And I love instant coffee too!
Yeah! I love the stormy videos!
I enjoyed hearing the rain on the tarp vs your talking.
Bro, I don't know if your hurting for money but 4 commercial breaks before you've reached 20 minutes in you're video! Are you and happy? WOW!
He doesn’t control the ads UA-cam does
I didn't have any commercials !
Well I love the ambiance ….very nice lights ….lifts the gloom of grey rain atmosphere
I am watching you at 5.36 in the morning ( couldn’t sleep) and made myself a cup of coffee too because of you 😅love your videos! And love to camp 🏕️ but now I am glad being warm in my bed at home
Hot coffee puts me to sleep, but iced cold coffee and tea keeps me awake and it sounds like you are getting the storm we got on Saturday.
You are a little crazy Luke. But I love watching your days camping. Stay safe and God, Bless you!!!!!
I LOVE the storms, but stay safe Luke!
I live on Petoskey St. in Gaylord, MI. I was home when the tornado went through last spring. Got my cats in the bathroom, and the next ten minutes were the scariest of my life. We were very lucky, not much damage to our home. No power for a couple days, but since we like to camp we had supplies for ourselves, and were able to help out our neighbor with a battery bank to keep her phone charged.
You have way more nerve than I. No way would I want to be stuck under a tree during an electrical strorm. I have had too many close calls. Crazy weather. Send some down to Louisiana...we need it bad. We used to get the classic severe stroms in the spring and summer but it has been pretty quite this year. Yea...that cabin looks so warm and comfortable. Good decision.
I must admit that I did find the juxtaposition of the storm warning close-up, followed by the shot of you standing forlornly beneath the tarp in the torrential rain storm, really very funny. Nice comedic touch.
The info and practices you put out here Luke can save lives...with your audience size it's very possible you have saved dozens. I think that's cool AF.
Great video as always! Something I have always loved about your channel is that you show your gear, AND how to use it. I love that you also include a gear list which is SUPER helpful for someone like me. The ambience, sounds, and views in your videos top it off even more too. Great footage, and top tier quality. You are my go to channel for camping, nature, etc. As a Wolf therian myself, it is very important to be out in nature and connect with it as much as I can. I have that inner Wolf too, and it's amazing that I can feel right at home in the wilderness with your videos. Thank you so much, and keep it up!
this would be a great opportunity for more rain test and wind test.
Thank goodness for the cabin!
When he said there's no way to combat the noise when i could hear him talking so clearly 😂😂😂😂
Wish you could send some of that rain to Texas! We’ve been in the 100’sF for the last month and hardly any rain!
I've been wishing the same thing for Reno, Nevada.
How about some rain for Louisiana. It's frustrating to see the storms all around us and they just go all around us without leaving us a drop.
Take a bit for California, please.x
I live in a mountainous area in NY. Twenty three + years ago NY had 51 tornadoes come through the state. My region the tornados traveled the mountain ridges. It leveled a 800 acers forest. Frigging kool to see the damage mother nature can throw around. Blessings to all.
It's nights like this that I'm happy you have the cabin as an emergency backup.
I love watching your videos because I can live vicariously through your adventures. (I haven't been able to camp at all this year, due to no PTO at the moment.) The sound of the rain on your tarp was almost mesmerizing. You make camping in the rain look like fun! I have had a few experiences camping in the rain, but a 1:30 a.m. tornado warning was NOT fun.
Ur videos is very nice and natural
That was probably your wettest adventure for alinv time. It was very atmospheric. i enjoyed it.
Years ago, a tornado went through our subdivision, but didn't touch down, thank God. It did take the tops of the trees out, on the street in back of us. I yanked both of our kids out of their beds and got them into the tub in our bathroom that was in the middle of the house, but who are they kidding--if a tornado had hit our house I wouldn't be sitting here typing this, our son and daughter wouldn't have lived to grow up and our grandchildren and great-grandchildren would never have been born. That is sobering to think about and I often thank God that He kept the tornado up in the air where it belonged. I felt cold all the way through and then was awed at the power of the storm and no one could stop it from happening. I did ask God to keep that thing up off of the ground. The roar of the tornado was just like I've always heard, that it sounded like a freight train and it did. Thankfully, we didn't get hit. No houses were damaged, just the tall trees on the street in back of ours.
I was sound asleep and the wind slammed against the wall where our bed headboard was. The next thing I knew was that I was standing straight up on our bed looking through the window. I knew the wind was hitting the house and coming from that direction, but I saw a couple of our lawn chairs get lifted up and blown away from the house and I didn't need to see any more than that and that was when I tore off the bed, yanked my kids out of their beds and get us all in the big bathroom into the tub. Then came that incredible roar.
Hi Luke, it's beautiful there amongst the trees, but the rain, thunder a no no for me ,sorry about your tent,good thing you were so near to you cabin ,great review stay safe
This is my favorite episode. I can’t believe he didn’t get to somewhere else. He’s very Brave.
One of the better heavy rain storms on your channel.
Hey Luke and Susie I hope that you both enjoyed your trip too Hawaii I hope that you didn't get any heat stroke it is great too see you back home enjoying the rain thunder storms.
Hey Luke,
Great video !
Thank you for the close up camera shots of you tying your tarp to the trees.
I asked for it and you delivered ! I greatly appreciate it !
Great sound too of the storm.
Love hearing the thunder come through so clearly on the video.
Good call on going to the trailer/camper. I would have done the same.
Great work as usual. 👍
hey Luke Linda here. love your videos for 2 yrs. now. u r the man when it comes to camping! also love your laugh Luke! u r a true professional and I like the way u carry yourself! from Philly, take care!
Can’t remember if already mentioned that you have amazing videography skills. That + your great story telling and adventure makes this one of my favourites.
Send some of that rain over here in Texas 😂
a truly fantastic heavy weather camp luke i for one was kept entertained!
Thanks Luke Great Adventure .❤all your Rain & camping videos help me Relax and go too sleep .plus i learn something new about camping which I've never done its interesting.
I just love how you enjoy the type 2 fun, embrace it. The enthousiasm is so nice to watch
Hey bud I’m a retired wounded veteran. I love your content you had to be in the military you do some of the things I teach my boys right off the bat. I love man keep on keeping on brother
Freeze dry meals are wonderful when a lot is going on. I especially. love them on the 1st night. Tired, want to look around, etc..
Thanks for sharing. I love these videos. The rain relaxes me. Hope all is well! Strength and Honor
Aloha Luke, hi Susie. Wow km.local born here in Honoljlu Hi never been up there in the mountain.on the Big Island looking at all that rain You must really appreciate it. After the hike on big island glad you and Susie made it back safe and the man. I enjoyed this video safe Journeys Aloha Always and GOD BLESS You Susie and family. 🥰⚘⚘⚘🙏
The cabin is a good choice
Great video! Looks like a fun trip. I have done a little tarp camping, mostly in the winter and always closer to the ground. It's interesting to seeing new techniques.
IIRC that swagman role is climashield, it really can't hold moisture and will dry from body heat in an hour or so. It will insulate fine when wet too.
Always a treat to watch you and your wife’s videos. Quality.
Now that's what I'm talking about let it rage . Enjoy yourself Luke I no I would be . Watch your top knot !!
I like camping in the rain but that was quite extreme! Stay safe
6 liters of water during your Hawaii hike, I'd been wondering & asked in the comments. Now I know, & you & Susie & the other hiker consumed all 6 liters. That's a lot of water to consume in a day. You & Susie will be a big part of the other hiker's memory for the rest of his life.
30:46 - that HOT meal, I'm sure, was devoured/inhaled.
37:34 - The CABIN - was an excellent idea from the get-go. A nice, comfy cozy bed to welcome your ole bod.
43:20 - I'd be munching on my pre-cooked bacon instead of a "breakfast cookie".
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
I have all Ozark trail tent and I love them. I’ve never had a problem with them leaking.
I love the video, i love the sound.
Love this adventure .Love the rain I live in Texas we have had no rain this summer well actually we had a raindrop last night lol.
Hi Luke. I really enjoyed this adventure. You are very calm in severe weather.
Another Great video as always!!!
Hi Luke, we just had winds and a major storm and we lost two huge trees. We lost another one that took out the electricity for a week. All of this happened a week apart. That storm brought straight line wind at 82 mph. Down came 4 trees. None of them caused any problems. Lucky. God was sitting right beside me while all of this was happening. It took 2 hours for this major storm to leave. It was wild. Still here and kicking crocks ( boots). To hot for my boots. Hope y’all had a beautiful vacation.
Hi Luke I sure hope you’re safe man and ❤love your videos ❤❤❤ please keep them coming. I’m from British Columbia and I always went into the bush to camp 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣it’s all memories with less gear then you ❤❤ I couldn’t do what you’re doing to save my own life 😂😂.
“Could pull the trees out of the ground”…..lol. Drama free zone!
Good thing you had your coffee for a late night hike!
I love your videos, and I love thunderstorms!
Hi Luke, many thanks for your weekly inspiring & therapeutic clips. May I ask why you set up your tent away from your tarp shelter? Cheers from Qld, Oz 🌞
Great adventure Luke, really enjoyed it!
Thank you!!
I have finally found a awesome channel that shows two passions of mine, weather and extreme camping, thank you Sir for sharing and thank you for your service 🇺🇸
Awesome adventure Luke!! Thanks so much for sharing it with us ❤
"There is so much water on this tarp the weight alone could pull the trees out of the ground " WHAT THE HECK are you smoking my friend? Haha
Luke I was just thinking when the video started out that you had a tent that was dry. I see that was not the case. I’m glad you had the trailer to hang out in. I remember you were going to try to make the shed a cabin.
A tornado would just laugh itself silly if it were going to hit the trailer/cabin.
Another sweet video dude. We are having another day of showers over in Damascus,VA.
Once again I enjoyed watching your video😃 When you have your coffee ☕you make me thirsty for one. A jumbo coffee ☕ Never tried any of those meals you have but look and tell so delicious 😋 I see these new heating devices? If but and bring one in my next camping trip. Haven't camped in years. But so far it's been all dry and sunny days in summer my camping trips. I still have a story to tell you. Very soon....take care ❤ love watching your video.....😃😃😃😃
A tarp can also be useful in very hot weather if you have to camp where there is no shade. It can help to slow down the rate the sun heats the tent in the morning & provide a spot with shade but open to any breeze, to rest in. It can also keep the sun off you while doing jobs.
Everest is still taller. Measure from the center of the earth to the peak. The peak is further from the center.
Luke, once again, Great content!!!! tornado warning your a brave guy!!! Stay safe brother
Hey Luke,
Just found your channel last night and had to subscribe.
I really like the ASMR aspect of the rain and setting up camp. When you do talk, you have a measured and calm voice and i find it actually helps my anxiety a bit.
Cheers to you and your family for a belated Merry Christmas 🎄
I see a lot of rain living in Ireland but that was some downpour 🌧🇮🇪
