Cold weather camping is the best. No mosquitoes , ticks or yellow flies. No snakes. Nature is yours for the most part. Having a fire to keep warm instead of sweating around. Makes it feel more like survival than camping.

Around here, the pine trees are the opposite of protection in winds. Shallow root system,..fragile species = lots of widow makers. In some local parks, they shut down for that reason. You can tell by how things look in a forest. Some trees actually drop branches in large numbers on purpose as a defense mechanism against competition from other vegetation below. It'll look like a war zone underneath, lol. Just throwing that out for those interested in such things. Another good one here. I'm sure you inspire a lot of folks to head outdoors. Cheers. 👍

@saragruber1019 4 місяці тому

This was my first thought as well. Trees here don't make good shelters. We just got some trees removed from near our house because they were dropping large limbs on the house and caused damage to the roof. I would not want that near a tent.

I don't remember seeing that kettle before he reviewed it, and he said he tested it for a couple months. My guess would be that the last couple camping videos were shot before the review, and there will likely be a few more with that kettle. He probably keeps a backlog of camping videos in case life doesn't allow him to get out in the forest for a while A review would be relatively simple to shoot and edit. A video like this would take a ton of time, which of course isn't always going to be available.

I dislike those channels that unbox an item, maybe used once, give a review about how amazing the item is (including a discount code) and then you never ever have a follow-up on how the product really performs over time.

@lpeyt9ml24.7 4 місяці тому

General camping advice is to have your camp kitchen at least 200 ft from your tent and to never eat inside your tent. Bears have an excellent sense of smell so just in case they or any other animal smells your food they won't be drawn to your tent but instead to the camp kitchen. It's a safety measure.

Hi Luke yet another good post, it was interesting to see you using that Ridge monkey kettle which you slated a few weeks back, the one you wouldn't recommend to anyone, you know the one with the small filler! you had no trouble pouring your water in through that small hole from your bottle. then that small spout! looks like you had a very controlled pour there! you had no trouble with water level as you poured enough water in for 2 cups, the other thing was you said about was the water spilling out as you poured, no sign of it there and you had filled the kettle up. the only other thing you said was about the lid slipping inside the kettle, yes i will give you that, if you don't use that free space! with mine i put my packs of coffee, powdered milk, sugar, and packets of hot chocolate, the lid doesn't fall in then and you utilised that free space. so maybe as it is not an American product it is not as bad as you made out?

I have been a hunter for 20 years and I love the outdoors. I’ve only went camping a few times. I’ve always wanted to get into it. More Seriously just never did): over the years but of the hunting I’ve been caught in serious weather. Some cases lightning or 70 to 80mph winds in the woods where trees could come down at any moment I’ve been in tornado warnings to snowstorms all in the same day or on separate occasions I’ve been in tropical storms or low level hurricanes. In the outdoors when I lived in Florida I have experienced a lot of what nature has to offer But I’ve never got to experience the camping aspect a few times And I’ve always been quite interested in what you do. I watch a lot of camping people. But you are by far my favorite. And I truly mean that. Watch a lot of UKposts channels. And I can’t sell out my friends/ co UKpostsrs. But your videos are the perfect before bed. Always have been. And I’m writing this as I’m about to go to sleep lol 😂 Keep it going man be proud of what you do (: Proud subscriber of the channel for at least 3 or maybe 4 years

Love your trips, Luke. The camera angles are spectacular. It is just like I am there. Thank you so much for sharing. I started watching about three years ago for gear reviews. I have learned a lot from you for my tool-bag 👊. Keep it up, brother!!!

Weather, with wind changing directions, is bringing in some precipitation, have seen it in multiple countries around the globe. Luke, I’ve watched you grow in knowledge, understanding and wisdom over the years. I’m so pleased to have had your videos and commentary that have made it possible. Well done, Man. From East Tennessee

I have a love for camping especially with a good rain storm. Don't camp now , but I feel like I'm camping when I watch your videos

@ericyoung1243 4 місяці тому

Thanks Luke. The bird in the tree above your camp reminded me of a hike on Roan Mtn. I was coming back from elk park towards Roan Valley through the balsams ,and suddenly the trees were full of dozens possibly hundreds of tiny gray owls bobbing back and forth making a sawing sound. I think they were Saw Whet owls migrating.

I really enjoy your videos, Luke. You always offer beautiful scenery, good conversation, and informative tips. On a different note, that is a great jacket you're sporting!

Love your winter / bad weather camping trips. I have seen a few of your camping adventures where there was a lot of snow and a storm, One was when Susie was with you in an orange or red colored tent. thoroughly enjoyed this . The sleet looked pretty in the forest, here in Ontario we still have not received snow or sleet just rain... Thanks Luke for all you do.

Luke, I enjoy living vicariously through your videos. The ASMR sounds make me wish I was there every time. Thank you and I agree about the wind. I do miss the "cheers" when drinking the first coffee. I'll have to look back and see what I missed but I miss that.

I really enjoy these videos you put out. Particularly these winter camp outs where I see weather that I’ll never see where I live in South Florida. Sleet, I’ve never seen that 22° just infrequently. But I’m really impressed by your camera work because you do a lot of Repositioning of cameras to give us views that most other videographers don’t bother to do. A lot of work Very professional. I hope you keep at this keep at this a long time. And I appreciate your Daughter service to the nation and for the people .

Yes I love getting up with snow on the ground and smaking the tent to clear snow. It's fun winter camping. And making that first pot of coffee in morning.

@MericanAdventures Місяць тому

First thing, you and Robby totally looked like Florida Man when ya had ya's shirts off!😂😅 LOL. Second, I hope this race you and Cleet are having starts something new. Maybe next year at the offroad games you guys have wrecker drags (street and dirt) and you guys can get Cleet to come out next year. Looking fwd to the videos of the build.

I like simple stuff, this show is very simple. Solid, mature host, reliable information and in-depth reviews, no baloney and the camping adventures are top-notch. I love the mountains, so anything I say about the great locations would be biased. Bit o' snow here today, too... but no new mountains to speak of, just yet. Haha, not in the Missouri Ozarks anyway. Good show, I always enjoy the hour long videos best.
