Shortly after my Dad died, I started seeing a white hawk in the same rural spot at least once or twice a month. Every time I see it, I say Hi to my Dad.

We totally agree with the animal guides. A Cardinal represents my wife's grandma, an owl represents my nephew who sadly took his life at age 13. Animals play an important role in our life. They bring a sense of comfort to our life. Thank you so much for touching on this.

🤘🏼YESSS! dance montage!! 👍🏼

The dancing just made this video that much better! 🥰🥰🥰

My dad's favorite bird is the Blue Jay. He would be sure to photograph as many as he could on our photo/nature walks. When he passed away many years ago, I began to see a single Blue Jay show up at our house, keep in mind we never saw a Blue Jay the whole time we lived there. And ever since that day, I would see a single Blue Jay wherever I lived. I figured it was my dad coming down from the Heaven's to say hello. I shed a tear everytime I see the lone Blue Jay at my bird feeder and I always be sure to say hello to him.

You we’re already one of my favorite UKpostsr, and hearing you mention the Greatest President of all times, makes me love this channel even more!! ❤️🙏🇺🇸

What an awesome place. The trail passing thru the old barn was so neat. I love camping beside water that l can listen to...makes me sleep like a dead man. Lol Thanks for the video. TOGR totally rocks!!

Great to see real people doing real stuff. Strength and Honour.

The music ... the moves and the forest ..... what a rare combination. Unique on YT.

Luke & Susan are the Sonny & Cher of the wild chaparral. And the beat goes on.

The dancing at the end makes my day, huge fan of you guys. Thanks for what you do.

The day after my fathers funeral, a bald eagle circled over my brother and I for a long time while we took a walk along the beach. Ever since that day we have always thought it was our dad checking in on us. Every time we see them (bald eagles), it makes our day and always seems to come at a time when we could use advice from him or just miss him. Thanks for sharing, it’s nice to know others associate birds with lost loved ones…. Makes me feel not so weird haha great content!

I use Reserve America to make reservations for state park camping. As far as signs, my grandma used to say that if you find a feather it’s someone in heaven saying hello. Every time I go for a hike, camp out or just a walk in a park I ALWAYS find a feather ❤️

What a beautiful trail and camp spot! I wish I'd known about it when I lived in NC, it's stunning. Maybe someday I'll get back for a visit. You 2 are so goofy. I loved the dance bit 😂😄

I absolutely jealous. That was such an amazing trip. I laughed so hard at the barn dance off.. good stuff 😂

You Both are Amazing Beautiful couple making this adventure and every other a delight to watch. Love and light ❤️✨🙏

How cool that each campsite is a half mile apart. That is amazing! The part with all the trees planted single file and that they incorporated the barn into the trail is way cool.

I’ve always heard that cardinals are loved ones visiting you. I always see them fly across the road in front of me when I’m stressed or having a bad day, and it’s just kind of a sign. I also saw three cardinals fly in front of me while I was driving to the venue on my wedding day. Needless to say, I started crying because I felt like it was both of my grandparents and my great grandparents (that I was lucky to know) saying hi.

Thank you for your channel. I really enjoy when your wife comes along and I adore how proud of your children you are. When I heard how you talked, in another video, about both your son and daughter it warmed my soul. You are what the U.S. should be instead of all the bickering about difference and demeaning of anyone that isn't like oneself. Thank you for your channel and I wish there were more channels like yours. Thank you for sharing the personal stories of the Hawks and the Blue Jays!

I grew up in the Little Pisgah Mt area of NC. My Grandmother loved Cardinals and after she passed whenever I hike, camp or even just hanging around town I will see a Cardinal and go OK Grandma I will behave. Smiles. Love the Two Wolves Adventures too.

Another awesome TOGR adventure, thanks you two! Reforested areas, with their straight rows, really do look interesting, kinda military like. I think they stagger the planting now, for better erosion control. Looking forward to the next TOGR adventure!

And once again you provide an escape from the chaos in the world!!

There's definitely a difference between a vacation and a "family trip!"

I can imagine seeing you two at a rave in 1995! Love your energy!

This is not the only river that flows north. The Gasconade River in Missouri also flows from south to north. I have enjoyed your channel for a couple of years and now watching older videos back to the first ones. I love your videos.

New to your channel, got hooked on the winter camping really cool and interesting. Thank you.

This has become my absolute favorite channel! I gain so much knowledge watching your videos!

One of my favourite outdoor channel....

You Two are too CUTE. LOVE watching you both. By self or Together. Info is great.

God bless NC from.the Sandhills. Cheers

Both of you look quite good together. Suzie is very pretty too. I remember when Pacific Heights came out in 1989. What a real thriller. The camp sight scenery is marvelous, under that dark shade of green, where the grass lays! Take care and many more happy adventures to come. Long life to both of you. Thank you, for all that entertainment, among the wilderness. Johnny, Montréal, Canada! 👍😁🙏💖✔️

The New River area is a wonderful place. Glad you went back.

Describing your oatmeal as “busy” cracks me the hell up. Cheers.

Leave no Trace philosophy is what I will always abide by! 😉

My Mom loved Cardinals. after she passed away. when I go home to Arkansas to visit. there are a couple that show up and Sing much more that they usually do. My Mom was a Talker and a singer. My Mom called me every Tuesday and Thursday. so at my home in Texas, I seem to see more cardinals on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and one big loud singer. I Miss You Mom.

I have watched many of your videos and have noticed that you never seem to see any snakes or bears on your trips. I love your videos and I know you have a lot of hours of editing to bring these to us. Thank you. I am to old to go hiking by my self in the woods but thank you.

Our beloved pets are still with us in spirit .love your channel dudes

love u guys, i had a thrush following me around in the garden the day after my dad died, he loved sitting there and watching the birds feeding on the bird table, the evening he died the bird table fell over with a broken leg, have been seeing a thrush or that thrush for the last three years since he passed still following me ..

I really appreciate this hiking trip. Susan is the highlight. Wish she was my sister.

Phenomenal dance scene at the end!!👌🏻😃 so fun!

Ninjas dancing in a barn while it’s raining...... Epic

Wow another great adventure together. That’s what makes it so much fun. You must have a huge barn at home to store and dry out your equipment. You really are the best at displaying and using the equipment. Thank you.

A blue jay feather marks the spot, no coincidence, great trail, great camp, and another grrreat video!

That's funny u said that bout the blue jay and the dog, my dad passed away on Feb 15 of this yr😢😢 but he loved doves. Every time my mom and dad gave cards my dad would draw 2 doves and now when we go visit his grave we will say dad r u with us and out of no where the doves start talking to us. And we have sat outside at my mom's and out of no where the doves again. I truly think its my dad telling us or showing us signs. Thank u for sharing your experience. I literally just start watching u guy's bout 6 hrs ago and I can't put my phone down. U know when we were kids we never went on like vacations to Florida etc, we went camping and those are the best memories I have, I'm glad I've came across your channel cause now I'm hooked. 😊

So good to see you both out on an adventure, nice that you’re re-visiting early family trip. Enjoyed it, thanks👍

You guys make a great team. Loved the video and moves at the end

Love the little dance at the end!

Suzie...you do have great tastes in places you plan. Wow...the beauty of that hike and camp area!

Looks awesome there. Thanks for taking us along with you guys. Stay safe. ❤

Good job guys! Team power is the best!

Dragon fly for my son and butterfly for my mom , loved this video, and sharing an intimate kiss by the fire was so cute .

Slick dance moves. Y'all rock.

@14:50 - NEVER "at fault". You did your best to plan an adventure - key word "Adventure". You are a lucky man Luke! Impressive - no graffiti in that barn that I could see.

Such a well maintained trail. The state park staff are putting in some work for sure.

I am half way through and the feather is the coolest thing in context you gave earlier. Awesome!

Perfect time Luke thank you for always posting quality content more rain videos

The Trail. The Band. I like it.

Thanks for taking on your trip. Always a great time. Stay safe ya'll!!!

Hello Luke and Susan,,, we use to take the kids camping too,,, it was a chore but fun at the same time... always love your adventures, yes my oldest daughter passed 2 and half years ago,, A cardinal. I never saw one around here until after she passed,,3 days after her passing there was one that flew in and sat on my fence, And it stayed there for quite awhile. And it looked at me,, i was staring at it in amazement.. that was awesome. So now everytime i see one i think it is her..

The birds that is always with me or every where i go will see is the British Robin. The are always really close to me for as long as i can remember. Love the video, beautiful surroundings.

One of your best videos and camping adventures. Thanks for all of them!

I understand that a lot of people may not enjoy all the bureaucracy that comes with the State Parks, but I think this video just goes to show how important it is to keep supporting the parks. This park was gorgeous, and I hope more people start to realize how amazing these parks can be. Great video as always!

Love the sound of the rain on a tent it's so soothing puts me right 2 sleep!

Luke i like warm ☕ too 😉 and tysvm for taking me along with you on ur trip and yes I'm drinking ☕ with you guys 😉😁😊

Beautiful country, I love the love you share for each other and our country! Strength and Honor!

Love these two always.

Totally worth it to wait till the end to watch the movie credits so to speak. The barn dancing was by far the best part of this whole thing. You guys are a riot! I absolutely adore you guys. ❤️

Good afternoon Luke and Susan Coming from Cleveland Ohio

You two are just way too cute; love the dancing!!! Thank you so much for sharing your time with us.

Love your passion into camping. Been watching your videos for the past 3 months since I found it. Keep going.

Great video as always! My wife recently started joining me on my Backcountry adventures because of watching the two of you out there and lemme tell ya, it’s made it a billion times better!! We’re actually heading out to Algonquin provincial Park Ontario for thanksgiving week and we’re so stoked! So thank you, Susie, for inspiring her to take an interest in joining me outside!

When my father passed away I visited his grave a week after the burial and a wild peacock came up to me. I never knew peacocks could survive in this part of the US. Maryland.

That grass looks like it's glowing on the best back to barn

Thank you both for sharing your trip with us. It was exactly what I needed this morning.

Thank you Luke, I mean Susie for the amazing adventure!

That park is a plus for NC managing land and expanding the park system. So glad the land was kept from developers. On my list and glad you took us down to the river! Loved the left over buildings from when the land was in use. I don't see the need for secrecy when it is a State or National Park (any tax supported/public land). It is legal to visit and camp in and we are paying for it anyway. Glad you didn't get soaked on your way back.

My Grandmother loved Cardinals. We have been followed along trails by them and had one land on my husbands hand. They are in our back yard. At least 3 pairs. They sit on our fence and watch us in the backyard. I think it’s her.

Beautiful place for a adventure. Thank's for sharing....

Also agree... Leave No Trace!!!!

I enjoy your channel so much. The interaction between you both is enjoyable and relaxing to watch. You were talking about signs and I believe they are around us if only we disengage from the chaos that we call life and see them. You talked about the signs from nature by choosing the campsite with the Bluejay feather. I also believe that people can send signs and not know they are such as when you refer to Susie with a nickname that my father called my mother. They were well matched like the two of you and that is refreshing to see. Thank you for the hard work that you do for the channel I enjoy every video very much.

Beautifully done. Better than any tv show. Great scenery. You two are a perfect match. One thing I had to check on was rivers running north since I live next to one of the biggest which is the St. Johns river in Florida. I was surprised how many run north in the US. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

You two are so cute together. Love it.

Thanks for the great videos! My son (3) and I always whatch them before sleeping. He calls you „Wolfmann“ and likes you a lot. Best regards and one more thanks from Vienna, Austria!

6:47 into your guys latest adventure.. I just want to say that I appreciate what you've said so far in general about not trying to please everyone (that made me laugh and is the truth as well as) leaving things better than you found them. I saw some Sticks in the Woods already too !

There's a place here where I live just like the river you guy's are near. It doubles back so close that you can float a three hour section and hike ten minutes back over a trail and be right back in the campground! We usually just make the walk and fetch a truck and go back and get kayaks and go back to camp and eat and sometimes do it again the next day! What a cool spot!

The perfect forest for hammock camping.

Another great video and another win for Suzy

Ever hear of the Red River of the North? It's a 550 mile long river that starts near Wahpeton, ND and flows by Fargo, Grand Forks, and Winnipeg before draining into Lake Winnipeg. The Souris River starts south of Regina, SK, flows SE to Minot, ND then turns NE to drain into the Assinboine river in Manitoba. The river is 435 miles long. Both of these rivers are longer than the New River.

I live in a subdivision in a medium sized city and I am forever seeing hawks sitting on my fence, on my garage, flying in front of me when I return home from work in the morning. We have lots of squirrels and rabbits in the area as well, so that may explain the hawks, but my daughter says that, among Native Americans, hawks are strong medicine that help you see upcoming events ( good or bad ) so I have adapted them as my totem.LOL The facility that I've worked at for over 40 years now has an American Eagle that regularly sits in a tree overlooking the factory's fire pond. That location is less than 2 miles from my home. Way cool when we spot him.

Love new river state park...such a great place....just found your channel by accident ,like a week ago , been binge watching your videos....love them....Lucas looks just like his mother....stay safe ...peace....🙏

The wheelbarrow thing reminded me of a story. There was a guy working on a construction site and every day he would push a wheelbarrow filled with dirt out of the gate as he headed for his truck. The supervisor was sure the guy was hiding something under the dirt, so he made the guy dump the dirt. When he saw there was nothing hidden in the dirt, he would tell the guy to go ahead, confident the worker was not stealing anything. This went on for over two weeks until the supervisor finally realized the guy was stealing wheelbarrows.....lol

I really loved the place, imagine sitting at one of the barns waiting for backpackers to come along and be sitting there on a rocking chair with a banjo, omfg it would make a funny video.

Thanks for bringing us along guys, but Luke... I’m calling the cops - you’ve stolen my moves! 😂 🕺

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

Y’all are one of the cutest couples I have seen. Keep up the great content!! I am a firm believer in animals as spirit guides what an awesome thing to find in the feather!!!

I loved seeing this forest with perfectly aligned trees. Magnificent! And the contrast of colors in the morning, wow! Orange, green, dark brown. What a nice place! I was touched by your blue jay and hawk story. I like to think that somewhere our loved ones are there watching us in their own way

love the dancing part ..... definitely could tell the coffee was extra special

Love your channel. I'll be taking my first camping trip in YEARS this coming weekend. It's been planned kind of hastily so some of my gear isn't all that good but I'm so excited to get back out there. Found your channel while looking for quality gear and I've been hooked hardcore ever since.

I went to school at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth Of Wilson VA and the New River was only a few miles away. Love that river.

What a beautiful camping trip, I loved it. It's always exciting to not really know exactly where you going. Cheers you two 😊
