As a female who camps alone I cannot stress enough to follow your gut instinct when out in the wild. Always be prepared for anything & be willing to leave your camp for awhile if needed. Have multiple forms of protection on your person. I also take extra gear to look like more people are with me. But following your gut is your best defense imho. I've avoided a few campgrounds due to a bad gut feeling. I've left a few in a hurry as well.

That didn’t even sound like a human laugh. I thought I was hearing a dog or coyote kind of noise. 🤣

I always bring one of my dogs with me when I head out to the woods. Dogs can smell intruders from far away and alert you. Plus it's always nice to have a companion 🤘

Thank you for sharing, Luke. I grew up in a world surrounded by that stuff so when I got older and realized how unstable and dangerous those people can be, it definitely started to curdle my blood. The unpredictable nature of junkies is why they're so dangerous. Stay vigilant.

That sounds like a coyote “yipping “. They make some wild sounds when excited . We hear them almost every night .

When I was a young man, I was hard wired for action. I'll sleep when I'm dead was a common saying of mine. When I got older I learned to stop and smell the roses. Both ways are extremely rewarding, best advice... Do what you feel. Good video. Thank you

I just can’t understand how any woman (and most men) feel safe camping alone. Y’all are way braver than me.

In case anyone hasn't let you know, that was an iridescent cloud, it happens when the clouds droplets / ice crystals diffract light in that sort of rainbowy / multicolored way. The version you're seeing here is likely the start of a pileus cloud, often found above tall t-storms or mountaintops (usually the mountain ones are lenticular clouds though). Sorry if this is old news, I know this video is old and there's 5k comments, but I didn't feel like sifting through all of them LOL

I lived in an area that was terrible with drug related crime. It changed my point of view drastically and made me much more cautious and hyper aware of my surroundings no matter where I am. It’s sad that there isn’t really anywhere that isn’t tainted by the reality of it

I encountered someone while I was at the Badlands, SD who was likely mentally ill, possibly dangerous and he was armed (I was not)... too long to tell the story in writing, but I managed to talk my way out of what could have been a horrible situation. This was September 2003 on a solo trip... miles from anyone or anywhere. To this day I am certain this guy was capable of some pretty dark things... and I was fortunate to keep calm and collected. I now carry any time I am out in the wild...

This guy has a really positive, optimistic attitude. guessing his parents played a role in that. Not everyone is so lucky.

That "laughing" that you heard is the sound that a dog will make when they are in distress. I have heard this with female dogs and their puppies a lot.

My husband and I were married in 1985. Together we have done a lot of backpacking and truck bed camping in off-road remote areas of the USA, since 1984 and especially through the rest of the 80s and 90s. My husband was always packed and was prepared with a weapon to use if necessary. Why? Well we definitely wouldn't need it for the animals - they're afraid of people. They have the fear of man in them. My husband always said, "It's 'man' who is the 'most dangerous creature' out there, because they're unpredictable." You never know what man will do, so we'd always take along a weapon to protect ourselves with. Sad but absolute truth. Check out how many people have been murdered through the many decades while camping... by 'man'. Animals are predictable, but man is not predictable. Stay wise and safe. Thanks for the enjoyable trip. Beautiful country!

I've heard about 10,000 coyotes in my lifetime over hundreds of nights spent in the woods, and that sure sounded like one.

My partner and I were on the back roads of Montana. We stopped the car in the middle of nowhere and got out to enjoy the scenery. We were just chilling when out of nowhere another car pulled up almost beside us. The windows were tinted, no one got out and they just sat there. We only took a few minutes to decide that this was weird, we got back in our car and left. I don't know if they had bad intentions or not but my gut said something wasn't right and that was good enough for me.

Bizarre Encounter ?!?!...... Protect yourself from the laughing woman?!? Dude you watch too much TV....my word...other people live in this world....yes.

I used to go tent camping with my buddies at one of the busier camping areas in Alaska. More than once we had what we called “camp raiders”. Guys who just show up and want to hang out. We were usually a group of 4 or 5 men with guns, so we were usually hospitable toward the visitors (even though, I never really liked it). Usually they just wanted to warm by our fire and talk about camping. Once we had a guy ride in on a dirt bike. The guy pulled out a bag and asked if we wanted to smoke some weed. We didn’t smoke weed so we declined, but one of my friend’s 14 year old sisters was with us so we told him not to even get it out. He didn’t like that, but he obliged. Then one of my buddies was standing next to the lake and this dude walked down next to my friend and pulled out a .22 pistol and started shooting in the water. My heart jumped and I started looking intently at my friend’s jacket looking for dark spots to appear trying to see if he was being shot. I had my hand on my .45 auto. My friend did not get shot so I didn’t draw on the guy, but we immediately told him he had to leave our camp. We told him it was because of his reckless behavior with the pistol. He left without any further issues and he never knew that 2 of us had pistols ready to go on him (plus 2 others with shotguns in the tents). Yeah, sadly, camping can be dangerous in certain areas.

These days I carry a .380 S&W Body Guard semi-auto. It's light, dependable and "gets the job done." As and former Boy Scout, we were taught to "BE PREPARED." Good Idea!

I'm envious of your adventures. I spent 16 years working with the Forest Service with 90% of that time patrolling either the Lincoln Woods Wilderness Area or patrolling the AT both in VT & NH. I also did about 4-5 years more of volunteer work in both doing trail maintenance and trail and camp ground construction as well . Part of that time was spent going all over the US doing wild land firefighting as well . That was an absolutely fantastic job , and believe it or not I actually got paid for doing it !!! I've never had a better job or one I enjoyed more. The law enforcement part I didn't enjoy all that much as there were some tense situations that arose from time to time like busting meth labs and removing squatters from the National Forest . We weren't authorized to carry but being a former military combat vet my forest supervisor kinda turned a blind eye to that sense he knew what threats we may run into on the trail, 2 or 4 legged and neither were uncommon . Bear and Moose and meth labs were the biggest issues though. I'd normally be out on the trail for 2 weeks at a time doing trail and shelter maintenance, building trails , doing wildlife and forest improvement projects and what ever else needed doing. It wasn't uncommon to be pulled off the trail though , to do high angle rescues , search and rescues or causality recoveries as that was a big part of the job too. I was a certified for high angle rescue, was a SOLO First Responder and was close to being a fully certified EMT as well as being on Fire/ rescue in my town for > 37 years , with tons of other related certifications . There is allot of climbing areas here in NH & VT both and incidents were common and there was only a half dozen of us in all of VT & NH that were certified for that job so 2-3 rescues or searches a month were quite common and much much more during the peak hiking and climbing seasons, Winter or Summer. Lots of folks got themselves into situations they weren't necessarily ready for and when the weather went South on some of these razor back ridges above timber line and in back country/ wilderness areas we got lots and lots of time in doing rescues or recoveries . Mount Washington was " No Joke" when it came to rescues, with >100 mph winds and well below 0 degree f wind chills being common, even in Summer. Some of those above timber line , razor back ridge rescues in those conditions were just a bit sketchy to say the least and could be quite a challenge ! I'm an old coot and disabled now from some of my rescue adventures and am no longer able to carry a pack or hike long distances and even going 2-300 yards at a time now can be a challenge at best, but I still have all my memories after years and years spent in the forest and I don't regret one moment of it, other than being all bunged up so I can't hike anymore. That part sucks to be honest . But don't feel bad for me, in my day I've had the opportunity to do 2 end to end hikes on the AT, did the Long Trail several times, the PCT, the Continental Divide Trails and have done every 4k ft and above peak in the US and most all the major trails in Alaska plus a couple others in Canada and even a couple in South America as well , so I've defiantly had my fun. I was know as "Talks With Animals " on the trail with a turtle symbol being my mark . I've been told many rabid hiker aquatnences that some of my shelter tags and the 2 petro-gliffs I've carved on rock faces along the AT are still present on some of these trails and in shelters where I've been at, so look for them in your travels they could pop up most anyplace in the US and Canada . I still get a taste of the good life after retiring though sense I bought a nice large piece of property just below the highest peak in the area here in VT and my homestead is in the middle of the forest right next to 2 incredible brooks running through my land that are filled with Brook Trout with tons of other wildlife all around me . There's nothing but State , Federal and timber company land surrounding me and there's only 4 neighbors on this entire section of road and nothing after that for 6 miles, and that road section is closed 5 months out of the year for snow or mud. This new homestead is like I've never left the forest and I couldn't be happier. Life is good here at the High Mountain Homestead ! Enjoy your travels as I have, you won't regret it.

The only camping I want to do is is at a Marriott, Hilton Inn or Hampton Inn! Seriously though, I enjoy watching these camping channels, and it's the best way of camping I'm ever going to do. Thank you for sharing your wild life adventure with us!

We were in the bottom of a canyon miles to even get down there. At night I woke up feeling like someone was outside the car, looking at us. Jyst a feeling. My boyfriend sensed it too but we thought we were just spooked. Went back to sleep. Morning we were approached by a skinny wirey looking guy who asked for a ride. He looked very scary and my boyfriend ran him off. No matter where remote you are there could be someone around. Remember thst.

I'm currently 12 days post surgery, had a bi- lateral total knee replacement and it is about to drive me CRAZY being so stationary, binge watching you channel has really helped, THANKS Luke!!!!

Love your videos and watching you/yall on your camping journeys! It is always great content-led with great advice on what and how you do it! A true UKposts elite IMO with no BS entertainment just excellent family fun and always superb quality! Thanks for all you do for the dreamers/EVERYONE!

In all the years of camping that Ive done it has never occurred to me that I could make toast with a frying pan. What a super tip.

When deep in the woods on a solo adventure I always bring the dog. His "spidey sense" detects any real threats long before I do. Plus I always had a sidearm. Lots of people disappear in the wilderness and are never seen or heard from again.

When I was in the military I had to be go go go and loved it, but after my injuries and time to heal the best I can Ive learned to enjoy sitting down and watching the world hustle and bustle by

Hey my friend, i really love ur outlook on life. U have an open but cautious mind, and the fact that u can talk about ur family to us and that u stayed sober through the ordeals of ur family is amzing and super respectable. I admire that u are ur own person and not negatively influenced by others. U are a cool guy and u seem like a really good person. Thanks for ur videos.

Man that really sounded more like an extremely excited dog. Grew up using dogs to hunt and almost always they done that exact noise when they where excited and knew we was about to turn them out of the dog box. Mix between bark/whimper and heavy panting.

To me that sounded like a excited dog that was ready to get out Into the woods

I heard coyotes too. Never even crossed my mind it was a person laughing. Sounded exactly like the coyotes out here where I live.

That rainbow at the top of that cumulonimbus storm cloud is most likely an iridescent pileus cloud, also called a scarf cloud or cap cloud. Pileus clouds are small, horizontal, lenticular clouds that can appear above fast growing cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds. If the pileus cloud is high enough to be made of ice crystals, the sunlight angle is just right, and the viewer’s angle is just right, then the sunlight can be refracted by the ice crystals to make the rainbow iridescence you saw. The pileus clouds aren’t necessarily rare but the iridescence is. So congrats! You got to see something rare and beautiful. 😊

The "Laugh" sounds like a wolf pup, coyote, or dog. The person driving by on the public access to where you are located probably had a dog in the back of their truck that was anxious to get out and run round. I've heard my dogs make that same cry many times.

Beautiful video. I'm so sorry about the effects of drug abuse on your family. My little brother was drug addicted for quite a long time. I prayed for years for him. He's now off drugs except for weed, he got married and is living a much better life. We're closer now too. God bless!

Having suffered a stroke about 3 yrs. ago , I know just what you mean about feeling " not right " when you are idle. I used to be an avid outdoorsman, but the stroke has left me with little interest in anything Iused to do, mainly due to the loss of the use of my left arm and hand. Left leg affected to a lesser extent. Iwould urge everyone to take good care of your vasculer system.

I’ve been hiking remotely and heard someone deep in the bush screaming and crying, it was absolutely terrifying. It turned out someone was having a mental meltdown and they went into the wilderness to scream it out for therapy…..btw this sounds like an over exited or panicked dog yelping, many huskies make that sound.

That whining laughing sound was a neurotic dog traveling with a human. As a dog groomer, I’ve heard that same sound from German shepherds whining/yelping nonstop for hours in the drying and holding cage.

Awesome photography ! The rainbow you saw in the cloud is called a sundog :-) . I worked 39 years as a nurse working 12 hour shifts. I became disabled a year ago after respiratory failure and two blood clots in my left lung. I'm perfectly fine with my slower, laid back pace.More time to spend with our grandson whom we adopted due to the drug use of his birth parents. We see first hand what drugs can do. They chose drugs over a precious child . No more dashing to respond to a code or chasing after the doctors. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

You discovered the ever versatile "weed" bag. That odd laughing sounded like coyote chatter to me. And yes, it is vary common to hear out in the wild.

In England we dont use the separate names for like jam, jelly, preserves, we just lump it all under Jam, and when it comes to jelly we just use that name for the wobbly stuff you have at kids parties :)

Your story telling is excellent, great editing and those cloud shots were just amazing. All the best from Aus

Most people go, “aw, it’s going to rain, forget camping,” you, “ah, it’s going to rain, let’s go camping!”

That was laughing? Literally thought it was doglike or coyote like yips lol

Since I retired six months ago I can now find time to SIT AND READ A BOOK!!!! YAAA!!

Loved that rainbow-in-the-clouds experience you shared with us. You are among the very best of men. I tried to order a pomoly tent and it was sold out! I'm happy to have found you on youtube! I'm beginning to get why your audience members gift you cool stuff.

I agree that the ‘night sound’ was coyotes. Experienced 3-5 coyotes passing thru a small primitive site at night & their calls among themselves was like maniacal laughter. It was close, loud, & sustained. They went among the tents doing this for about 10 minutes. I heard another camper exclaim “holy sh*t!” which was my thought as well. It was like this pack was on a drunken ramble having a great time.

As an outdoorsman, your most important virtue is awareness. Never be so focused on what you're doing that you don't notice your surroundings at all times. Predators of all kinds take advantage of your forward facing vision. Your eyes should be constantly panning, constantly surveying your surroundings. This is how people get ambushed and mysteriously disappear. Enjoying yourself in a dangerous area just because it's beautiful is any easy way to never be seen again. Always protect number one .

That weather Rainbow/Clouds thing is called a sun dog, I love those. Usually means weather changing.

Mabey the Coyotes are not Sober..lol😅..On The Real...I'm 19 weeks Living Sober 💪 tomorrow..The World is a Beautiful place when you have God, Sobriety and Family ❣️..Love the camping Videos...I'm a Prepper for Life...Great gear and skills shown brother!💪🏔️🇺🇲

Sitting and watching and hearing a tstorm roll in is my absolute favorite thing in the world....especially while camping. Perfect day if you ask me.

For that exact reason, I was thankful my friend was always 'carrying' whenever we camped in remote places like that.

Love your channel Luke! You have such great production quality on your videos. Keep up the good work!

Love camping out of doors. Used to car camp and hike the Sierras in California. Thanks for the reminder and sharing your good time.

The cloud phenomenon is known as a sundog, that cloud has a hail core, it’s just light reflection and is essentially a rainbow.

When the daughter travels to see you, and brings both the BF, and his parents. It's really serious.

I've been watching a lot of your video's up till now and most probally will see a lot more. What i like very much how you also talk on topics about life in general and especially drugs. I have a son who wasted his life that way. and it is very difficult to see him going down hill every day. Keep on going with your advices and ofcourse your reviews.

I'd put lots of butter in the pan to stop the sandwich burning. We Kiwis love our butter on bread - or with anything. You could also use olive oil. We also butter both sides of the bread so the sandwich will be nice and moist, inside and out.

That's not a human laughing, my friends dog makes the exact same sound whenever there's a thunderstorm close by or going on.

I'm proud of my daughter she's been clean for 11 years.

I work at a vet clinic. From what I heard, it sounded like a dog so excited to get out of the truck it was "monkey" whining. It is bizarre sounding, but I hear it often as a groomer.

First time found this video; love everything about it, the colour of the car to your personality! Everything seems extremely deep yet motivating! 100 percent will watch all your videos. Respect and admiration from 15000 km away! Stay happy and healthy, bless you brother!

This is actually one of my favorite of your video’s ( other than the laughing wacko) because it’s something I could do myself. I’m not physically able to make long hikes but I COULD do a truck camp like this and now I’m going to try one, Thanks for having something for everyone!

My dog lifted his head up and ears went back as soon as that weird laughter started!

Thank you for sharing your personal business. Believe it or not sharing can help so many people. Note that I have never tried any drug nor do I drink alcohol but I have family that does or did. GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER, STAY TRUE TO YOU.

Just found this channel and it’s bloody awesome. Can’t wait for more. Best wishes Jonathan 🇬🇧

Forgot just how beautiful the photography is! I too can't believe how in tune I am with stepping into Autumn! Glad you and family are in tune with same! Love to everyone❤️

I’m so blessed and thankful that no one in my family or anyone around me have ever had drug or alcohol issues. Prayers for your family.

A short and sweet adventure. God's perfect creation, your spot in the woods was gorgeous. That rainbow cloud was awesome!!! I could tell you're spirit was troubled over that young woman being out there under the influence. All we can do is send out a fervent prayer for her healing and safety.

This is some of the most beautiful camping nature photography I’ve seen - Interspersed with interesting gear reviews , cooking tips, solo hobbies and meditations on drugs and paths taken and not taken. I’m going to watch a few more. Good stuff

Thank you to your daughter for her service to keep us safe 💕💕💕

I love it...Daughter shows-up w/ her BF and his parents...Yeah I'm goin' camping

I used to backpack/camp unarmed and never gave it a second thought. That was decades ago. The world has changed. I don't even drive to town for gas without my carry. While I've never had an incident with a person while in the wilderness, there may come a day. It's foolish not to plan for it. I love your videos and point of view. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, our son got out of prison twelve years ago. He has been off the drugs every since. He will drink a beer but that is all. So far so good. Stay safe!

Jelly is made from fruit juice, which is usually extracted from cooked, crushed fruit. ... Next up we have jam, which is made from chopped or pureed fruit (rather than fruit juice) cooked down with sugar.

Surely, that's a coyote or two (as others have said). Wait 'til you hear a large group of them out there. It's an eerie sound. I've also heard wolf packs when I'm out that sound almost like crying kids if they're not full-on howling. Keep up the gear reviews. I've been enjoying them!

Sounded like a dog anxious to get out and move. Enjoy your content, thanks for the honesty.

GOD bless your daughter and keep her safe. Thank her for her service. She has an awesome Dad. Don (Ocala, Fl).

I've watched your vids, since you started out - and the quality of your videos and cinematography now is just beyond outstanding! Well done, Luke!

It was an excited doggie -- probably wanted to get out of the vehicle for a walk. Mine used to go nuts like that whenever I'd get near the beach. Sounded just like a weird human laugh.

I just smoke weed but I have done drugs half my life and it’s messed my body up I wish I’d never have came across drugs but I am thankful that the drugs did not take my life I love your videos they help me out a lot so thank you and other in the comments so thank you all for everything I love you all more then u will ever know

The reason the “lady” wouldn’t stop laughing even when the guy told her to shut up is beCause it was a dog😂😅😂

Your cinematography has REALLY increased since you first started. That cloud sequence in the middle of this video was absolutely gorgeous! Makes this one of my fav vids of yours.

At first hearing the woman laughing, I actually thought it was a coyote and was waiting for the rest of the pack to start yelping. Then when you said it was a woman laughing I was like what?!

I do a lot of SUV camping and use a big tarp too to give me that flexibility to shield me from sun and the rain - one side of the tarp is sun resistant- gives me extra space to camp cook too even if it’s raining. It’s a pretty sweet set up that I use when I work at festivals too. My bed is a combination of sleep pads with a topper with a sleeping bag and travel blankets for chillier nights. I blackout my windows to give me privacy and use mesh fabric made for doors and the back section of the suv to keep out flies, mosquitoes, midgies and sand flies. For toilet- a sturdy bucket with biodegradable bags and cat litter and for a shower use biodegradable wet wipes or a solar shower for when I’m really needing it if there’s no river near by. Always carry plenty of water, extra jerry can of fuel, and jump leads with battery if the SUV battery is flat.

I really like your positive attitude. And when Suzies around, she's great too.

Thank you for taking me on your camping adventure! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

"Its best to not to even start it" - Too True. I'm sorry for your families losses. Its a true tragedy.

Thank you for this video. At about 10:10, I have learned to accept myself wherever I am, however I am. If idleness is imposed on me, I have many subjects I can contemplate, and many memories I can recall. Sometimes, enforced idleness can be a blessing, especially if it brings me face-to-face with a serious issue in my life, causes me to discover a way to approach a great opportunity, or allows me to recognize a major blessing. I do not believe in the "Everything happens for a reason" nonsense, but when Life hands me lemons, I try to make lemonade.

I've watched maybe a dozen camping channels in last month or 2and yours is by far the most interesting.

I've gone hiking/camping exactly zero times this summer. These videos allow me to enjoy the experience while I'm working from home. Crossing fingers that I'll get outside this fall.

I suggest a front and rear dash camera for the Tundra, never know when trouble will confront you!

Injuries are just daunting, I cant stand not moving around I'm 53 and move all day long. God bless you dear.

I love your videos. I trust your advice and honest reviews. I also appreciate you encouraging people to stay away from illegal drugs

The sideways rainbow is what is known as a sundog - light refracting through ice crystals contained within clouds.

This was awesome, thank you for sharing; please tell your daughter, "from one veteran to another, thank you for your service!"

I love clouds! I use to lay in the grass and find different things in the clouds when I was a kid. Still love to do that at the age of 75! I really appreciate what you do in the wild and your videos are incredible. ❤️ from Minnesota

Luke...as someone who hitchhiked alone thru 49 States over a number of years, I can honestly say You're right. Her "laughter" reminded Me of the stories about the Manson family. One thing I never did was go out drunk or high. Never. Either I went on the road straight and sober or not at all. Yeah, Those Country areas can get really scary. (W. Virginia comes to mind) The vibe that radiated off your video today felt bad. Somehow the thunder and her weird laugh and even seeing You drinking felt wrong. (I gotta say it, Luke) I didn't really dig the mix. It's just MHO, but it probably saved My life more than once. Substance abuse sucks. You can't control the storms but You CAN control the other variables. Thank You for the video that I finally saw today.

The sound of tires on a gravel road is the most relaxing and satisfying sound. Like rain on a tin roof.

Whoa! That was weird. I thought it was a coyote at first. You do have to be ready. As a former police officer, I’ve seen a lot of that crap. Very beautiful sunset! Love sleeping in the rain. Good video.

I watch all the different UKposts videos of different people who camp out. And of all of them. Your the very best in learning and the most interesting.
