I like companionship. The feeling of teamwork, pushing each other and at the end of the day trading stories over a campfire cooking a meal is priceless!

I understand what you mean by being in your element . There is nothing any better than being by yourself in the middle of no where just relaxing and enjoying the peace. This is the best medicine anyone can ever have. Great job glad i found your videos. Oh and i have so much respect for you by no tossing your garbage on the ground. wish everyone else would do that also.

Being that I am disabled and still go out into the woods I always go with someone. I am mobile enough but have some issues after extended lenghts sometimes. While I would prefer to be alone that is no longer an option but I still get out there! Bring it on!

Luke, these bad weather adventures are my absolute favorite! The real review of the gear and, showing how real life on an adventure can be. This is invaluable! Thank you sir!

I’m an almost 80yo retired USN Chief and am envious of you doing these adventures. Sure wish I was able to pursue these as you do. Good on you.

I'm in the Scottish Highlands on the Isle of Skye for a few days of wild camping in the mountains, expecting some rough weather myself! Setting off tomorrow morning and this is perfect viewing for this evening! I have been saving some of your other videos for the tent! 🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I am far too old to be doing anything alone anymore. My children want me to get the security alert button in case I fall down and can't get back up, 😂. I was raised in the Jackson hole valley area and 50 years ago there was nothing better than taking off for the weekend and being alone in the element. 50 years ago we didn't have all the equipment that you kids have today mostly we had a couple of fish hooks, a good knife 🗡️ and a means to start fire. Beyond that anything that we used we made. When I was a kid and we told our parents we were going to the park we didn't mean the city park we meant Yellowstone. And they knew they wouldn't see us for a week or two. I am so blessed to have been raised in the wilderness. Thank you for these videos young man it brings a bit of nostalgia back to an old lady you're a blessing, keep on keeping on!

Solo camping is sublime. I absolutely love it. Spending a weekend alone in the forest, with nothing but the sounds of nature is my ideal. I couldn't stand to narrate to a camera like you are. Even the sound of my own voice is an intrusion

I love to walk alone to Luke. There is nothing better than getting dropped off somewhere on a map, and get picked up 5-7 days later, 40 km away. LOVE IT! Take care mate. Love your channel

You have the best A-roll and B-roll of any other backpacking, camping, and gear channel on UKposts. The "camera man" is the best. I don't know how "he" keeps up with you.

A plow point is quicker, but...here comes FURNITURE. LOL, gotta love Luke and his gadgets.

The dedication to film in this weather, just WOW! The trees look beautiful! 💛🌲💛🌲💛🌲💛

My son and I got caught in a serious thunderstorm in the mountains. Had lighting strike scary close twice and I'm still not sure how we weren't hurt. It influences my choices every single day since!

I am usually alone with my dog. One has to be prepared to any weather while hiking. Sometimes it is very challenging like a few years ago in the mountains. It was blowing hard and raining at an angle and it was 6 C. It was getting dark and I was looking for a level site for the tent. There was two inch thick water flow everywhere running down the mountain slopes and it was extremely difficult to find a level spot. Finally I found one of a size of the tent. I dried the dog who was exhausted and wet and then we prepared for the night. Water was flowing around the tent all the time and the wind was hard, continuously. That was fun.

Its nice to listen to you while the rain is rushing and the music (min. 18:50) is wonderful. Thank you for your work.

A hot drink and /or a hot meal is such a morale booster in cold wet conditions.

The sound of the rain is awesome. ❤️

Hello Luke, thank you for the tag along. That's my kind of weather, my friend. All the best to you, Susie and family. Stay healthy. 🤗

Lone wolf for me. I have roamed the woods by myself since I was eight. I am old now, so back then there were not so many human predators around.

I always enjoy my coffee with you. I am sitting in my big chair but somehow, it's like I'm there with you. Thank you. Tell the beautiful Suan that People everywhere Love you guys. Peace & Be safe... The old guy.

Hi Luke.I could not agree with you more.I find that going out into the wilderness alone gives me the space to breathe both metaphorically and literally.When i go to these places i find that stress and worry has to give way to the natural beauty of the surroundings .When i poke my head out of my tent in the morning , there is no concrete in sight anywhere and it fills me with joy.

I'm a Lone Wolf accompanied by my trusty dog. Sadly dogs only bless us with relatively few years. They have been Buttsy, Bubbles, Midnite, Pokey, Muttly and presently Sammy the Wonder Dog! In the woods virtually everyday. Camped, Backpacked etc my almost my entire adult life, I'm 73 now. At age 62 two words changed everything "Luxury Hotels" that are Dog Friendly of course. Long scenic hikes and now back to the campfire on the patio for some appetizers and a few cocktails,

Your videos are amazing. The time & energy you put into them is mind-blowing! Love them!

I love it... it's rainy, it's windy, it's cold. It's perferct.

I love being by myself. It's nice to be in a peaceful and quiet environment, and if you're by yourself it's pure relaxation.

I never feel alone outdoors...in forests or fields...Love Mother Nature and trust Her to take care of me...and of course, I do my best to do my part!

Luke my friend, I would LOVE to have a cozy, primitive cabin up there. Truly God’s country. All the best to you, your dear wife, and your family!

"And now it's coffee time!" Nothing better could be said by Luke.

Just loved the hiking trip and the rain, I was so jealous when you were all confrontable under the tarp having a coffee & food, being out in the rain is my element as well

I enjoy camping with my son in law, but I do a lot on my own too. Great scenery. Since I'm a farmer, I like looking at old farms too

Hey Luke beautiful area hope y'all are doing well much love your way be safe have a wonderful day

I ALWAYS developed a. COFFEE craving watching YOUR vids...& I enjoy it SO MUCH...!!! THIS vid was GREAT...THANKS...! 😷👣👍

I love love being alone in the rain and the forest and I love to under a tarp tent and feel the peace and quiet and close to nature 😌

I've enjoyed this video as much as I have any movie. Wonderfully well done Luke. So good too see you in such joy with your surroundings. A joy I share on my own adventures. Take care buddy, and thank you.

I can completely identify with your enthusiasm for being out amidst a great storm. I completely get it, and what a grand time you've had brother Luke. Thanks for another adventure!

Brother, keep cranking out these videos! You've inspired me to get out more, and more importantly, to camp out and get off the grid. Thank you

My favorite videos of you are all while camping in the rain or snow storm, I imaging my self there, I fall a sleep right before the video end almost all the time.

I love being in the woods, I love going alone and going with people.

Love the rain, as long as I'm dressed for it and not soaking wet. Great video Luke.

I love seeing you get out in nature in any weather conditions. I sure do love all the adventures you go on. Thanks for making these videos for us all to see and have a wonderful evening my friend.

Your channel has been very eye opening!!! Me and my boyfriend love camping together with our dog Rae and every time it is a learning experience. Rain camping is something else🙌🏻 We love your channel and learn so much can’t wait to watch more!

Another great video, I love the foul weather videos, especially when you camp,Thanks.

Ohhh...love the weather. Perfect for camping in.

Drinking coffee with u right now Luke👍👍

You make it so I’m there too. One of your best vids to date. Thank you Luke.

Wow! Great weather Luke ;) The art of enjoying nature, no matter how the weather is. I am a lone wolf for sure. I like to do things my way and be free to decide when, what, how I want to do things. I like loneliness, facing the unknown, overcoming my fears, because I have some, but I don't give it too much importance. I like the fact that I have to surpass myself every time. Having to rely only on my current knowledge and skills. For every time i'm in the woods, I see it as an additional experience which makes me even better each time and more confident. So yes, alone all the way!

great spirit n attitude...keep on hiking all over..everywhere///an keep puting out words of encouragement to all those ''wanta be's'

Sound on this was phenomenal. Wearing good quality headphones, that thunder felt like it was inside my skull.

Going out for two night alone with my dog this weekend in the adirondack mountains...alone is my favorite.

Last winter was my first actual rain storm outting. Went out jeeping with friends that day. None of them wanted to camp out, wussies lol. A really good storm was forecast to hit about 10 pm. Found a couple trees for my hammock and tarp. By 2 am rain and wind was kicking hard! Luckily I set up a ground tarp because flood stream was flowing under me. Such a great time!! I plan on doing more this winter. Thanks for all the great videos!

I was a solo adventurer for years, but recently I’ve been sharing them with my gf.

The music was stellar! Not a spoken word, but it seemed to draw emotions from the depths of your soul. Great work as always Luke. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

In weather like this, I rehydrate my hot meals inside my jacket. Warms my core while waiting to eat!

Luke... I really enjoy your channel as it brings back lots of memories of my younger days. I used to camp in Pisgah every other month mostly off of Yellow Gap (1206). I'd say about 85% of the time I endured bad weather. I camped with a group of friends but I usually went out 1 or 2 days ahead of the group by myself. Keep up the good work.

I enjoy backpacking with my friends, but 85% of my trips are solo or with my dog. I simply love being out alone. I can set my own pace and change my route without debate. I also love wondering about the people that came before me to the places that I hike. I think about how their lives must have been. The lived there, loved there, raised families and most probably died there. I always respect that.

Comfort not mandatory. A real outdoors guy.

Perfect solitude mixed with raw wind and rain. Great if you have the right gear

"Let me tell you...it's rainy, it's cold, it's windy...it's perfect." LOL. You're so weird Luke. You are absolutely right that 50° with wind and rain are the perfect recipe for hypothermia. In Alaska where I live, more people get hypothermia during those type of conditions than in deep winter.

Coffee, sound of rain and thunder....all good!👌🏼

When the rain slows, and the fog moves in, that's my favorite time. Great video brother!

I don't like thunderstorms but the rain and the wind was pretty cool. Glad the tarp kept you protected during it. Really enjoyed watching this one just like the others. Stay safe!

Totally agree, love the escape. Crazy busy in my life so nice to escape from it all now and then

Your videos are so excellent, you do make me smile with your comments and love of wild weather, brilliant :-) :-) :-)

That was a nice little solo adventure in the rain for some coffee and scouting mission of course to see what troubles you can get yourself into Excellent video and take care

Love this video !! My favorite way to go camping... backpacking in the rain :)

I agree, I love the stormy weather treks.

That US Navy camo Gortex is a life saver in these conditions. I have an official US Navy one much like yours. Love it.

Luke you are amazing!!! I loved the adventure. Thank you so much for sharing.

The pitter patter of rain, love it! Great vid once again Luke! :) Its nice how contagious your enjoyment of bad weather is, makes me wanna go out, rain or shine every time.

Looks like our kind of weather you got there Luke. I bet hunkering under the tarp and having your coffee and lunch felt like the best thing ever, in out of the rain as we say!. I am a lone she-wolf, I love going out during the day, hike around, explore new places, hunker down and cook something. I find overnights a bit more frightening but have enjoyed a few recently. I always enjoy your hikes and gear reviews. For the winter coming you might like to look at Ben and Lois Orford’s website, they make the nicest, hand knitted wool beanie hats. Keeps me cosy every time. Looked like a really nice place you found.

I am so jealous of him.beautiful place

Your trusty Toyota truck should be made into a special Adventure Pack !

A very therapeutic video especially the music at 18:50 and rain dropping on various surface types. People with submariner profile definitely feel very alive and not 'alone'. The 'honour' word and your statements are inspirational book stuff that deserve afterthoughts to those looking for soul searching.

I like also the cold,windy and raining weather,and also exploring some wild forest❤️⛰🏕

Yes I m a lone wolf, for sure. Really enjoying the nature to the fullest. No talking, waiting or slow walks because of others. Of course we also go as a family/friendsgroup out in to the forrest for geocaching, but then you know you have to adapt to others. The fields and forrest a beautiful, Luke. Stay safe & healthy. Here at the moment 8-10-20 more and more sick people by Corona in our town. 2020 is a different year that we will remember by Covid-19. S&H, greeting from Hengelo, Holland

Really enjoy your videos. This last year was rough personally, and your videos helped me get through. Thank you.

Another excellent adventure Luke. Congrats

Folks this channel is amazing

I always travel and camp out solo. I prefer to be alone and never fear of being alone. How about sending some of your rain to western pa we need it.

I love being out in the worst weather! Especially alone! Camping with people, even a spouse or family, never gave me any opportunities to do what I want, when I want. Sure, some things are just plain easier with a group, like setting up a tarp in a t-storm, but I think the challenge makes the trip better. I'm a 55 year old widow, living alone and camping alone and loving it. And fear? No way! It's safer out there! Awesome video! It's storming all weekend and you got me all amped to go!

Thank you for taking us along.

Man that scenery was beautiful. The rain made it so much better.

Many years ago I was with 3 other people on a wilderness camping trip - minimum 5 hours paddling a canoe after leaving our vehicles. It rained the entire way. Around 11pm we slogged up a wet portage and managed to set up 1, 2-3 person rated tent for the four of us, all soaking wet and exhausted from the constant rain, and ate granola bars for dinner. Every 6 hours for 4 days, gale force winds and thunderstorms pounded us. Anyway, on the first full day, we set up a proper campsite nearby but couldn't start a fire because everything was soaked. It was then that a half dozen extra tarps and a lot of line came in handy for a three sided kitchen tent with a partial flap for the camp stove. During the day, it was large enough to keep dry food stores inside it as well. We'd planned on fresh food for the first 3 days, but that stayed tied up from a high tree branch unless we needed it in case a bear wandered into the camp. Our camp was on a small peninsula with (except for the storms) a constant mild breeze keeping the insects away, and backed onto thick forest. Near the water, shallow Canadian Shield rock made a nice place to wash up, and just across a narrows in the lake was a perfect place to eventually get enough semi-dry wood for a real cooking campfire. Days 5-6-7 were nice and sunny and though it was challenging, we all made it back safely, though I did break a paddle on one portage. I'll never forget the trip in. Thick mist hung about 3 feet above the water in the rain, and we needed our headlamps to spot deadfall and other hazards.

Great video. Thank you. Coffee always tastes best made outdoors.

Great video. Best one yet. Strength and honour.

Rain, cold temps....perfect for hyping out.

Giving off some serious Les Stroud vibes to me. Great video!

Keep up on the great videos. Love it! Also love your 2 wolf adventures too. Looking forward to the next one. Tim m.

Dude a simple car camp would have been perfect in these conditions!! ‘Luke’ yeah but where’s the adventure in that? 🤘🏼 😎😁

Lone wolf trips are the best experiences but I still enjoy camping with others and trying to teach them what I've learned from experience lol

"Great episode, I tell you what," Boomhauer said.

Whhhooooh!! New Name...'THUNDERWOLF'!!!! LOL!! Awesome camp hike share Luke!!?? 🌩🌬⚡☔🐶😉🤗-Mindi Big Hello and Hugs to Susie too!! Be Well you kids!😊

Yes I love being out by myself.. when you are by yourself, you don’t to worry about others time table..

This is the first video I’ve watched of yours that made me say “this man is crazy!” .... lol. Great video and kudos to you for being out in that weather, and especially for filming it. Couldn’t have been easy in any sense. Enjoyed this one very much, keep up the good work

I prefer camping and backpacking alone, or with just my dog, and usually do about 15 trips a year solo. Have spent about 20 days this summer in the Daniel Boone National Forest so far. One of my best memories was backpacking alone in pouring rain and dense fog at Red River Gorge, KY, and I honestly had no idea fog could actually get that dense. It wasn't risky, as it was a familiar and well marked trail but still felt like a true adventure. Once I was became comfortable setting up and tearing down a tent in heavy foggy rain at night, it was game on! One thing I've learned the wet way is to not use stakes when tarping in the rain, if possible, as they can start popping out at bad times.

I love it ! , Rain and a forest of leaf trees , not like the all pine dry forests in Colorado where fires are destroying entire forests in 2020. I wish I could do that hike in the rain or no rain in that forest type but I am too old now with health issues , though at least I can watch these nice videos. Thank you for sharing this video very nice.

Reminds me of camping days back in Zambabwe. Lightening struck a tree about thirty foot from my camp. The sap in the tree boiled instantly and blew off all the bark. Scared the crap out of me.

I enjoy learning from your experiences. But what I enjoy most is the forever present positive attitude you portray, no matter the situation or the weather conditions. Keep up the good work.

I'm a lone wolf. I really enjoy hiking and camping solo. Not that I don't enjoy getting out with others, but it's a different experience going solo. And rainy day hikes are the best because the foul weather scares all of the fair-weather types and keeps them off the trail (making for more solitude).

Luke, another welcomed vid for us to escape from the drudgery of the week. The vids always setup the mind and spirit for the weekend. As soon as I can get my balance back and walking again without face planting in the forest I'll be walking in the rain again myself. There is something refreshing about hiking in the rain or snow. Peace and health to you my friend.
