TheOutdoorGearReview Love The Video Have A Great Weekend Also 🙏🏾💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥😊😊🎄🎅🏽☃️
Quick question for you Luke if you ever happen to come across this comment. How would you use, or alter... a standard 3 piece survival shovel to excel at shoveling snow if you had the time to purchase or gather parts or materials in advance of your trip... any ideas? I haven't seen any foldable snow shovel attachment accessories that are interchangeable for those things unfortunately but I would love to try something to make it work... thanks bud.

Was in the Army for 24 years and tested allot of gear, but never saw that tent. Do you have a specific description of the tent?
I was in the US Army and worked in the Army for 33 years before I retired 29.5 years ago. And I have to laugh every time I hear military quality or military surplus. Every time I hear that I think of the flashlights they furnished us for night duty. They were green plastic 90 degree lights. We used to joke that you turned on the flashlight and struck a match to make sure it was on. That was almost not a joke.
I also love camping in the snow. The quiet and serenity is excellent.
Hi Luke, great video! Please tell your daughter, and to anyone reading this, that is in the military or has love ones in the military. My hats is off to you, you have my respect.
Luke I wish the best for your daughter. Hats off to her!
Thank you for sharing those facts about the suicide rates in the military. I feel so much empathy for the brave men and women that sacrifice so much for our freedom. Your daughter is a hero.
Another great video! Tell your daughter... thank you for her service! Without her and the rest of the military, past and present, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
I appreciate your unconditionally happy attitude... your content is relaxing and cheerful. You are the Bob Ross of the outdoors
Best part of winter camping- no bugs.
On the subject of your Daughter... I agree. It does take a SPECIAL kind of person to prevail with the military. Then to shoulder and carry all that it means. Honor above all. I for one am very proud of your daughter. It's a very good feeling to know that there are great people like this.
Be safe.
Dang dude, when did you have a kid when you were like 9 or 10? You're a youngster yourself. You must have done a great job raising her. Hats off to you.
He has a son, too.
I ENJOY YOUR ENTERTAINING, REVIEWS & FREQUENCY; IS 43° CHILI IN CT NOW BUT WATCHING SOMEONE LIVING IT I THANK YEHOVAH FOR YOUR ENERGY, I FEEL GOOD UNDER MY BLANKET; THE REASONS ARE YOUR OWN AS ARE MINE THANKS!!! REGARDLESS, YOUR DOING IT IS AWESOME; MESSAGE LOUD & CLEAR, TRUST NO ONE, PREPARE FOR WORST THAN WORST & SMILE RIGHT BACK AT ADVENTURE WHILE LICKING A WELL DESERVED STRIPE OF AN ADVENTURE, IF NOTHING ELSE YOU HAVE A STORY TO REMEMBER OVER COFFEE IN YOUR OWN COMPANY BEFORE A WELL DESERVED REST!!!
Always enjoy your videos. Being 69, my winter camping days are now spent in a teardrop for sleeping. But being outdoors in a beautiful winter setting is the best for me, sitting under a winter sky with a fire is such a connection with nature. Keep the great vids coming!
It's refreshing to see someone bring entertainment to these type videos . I really enjoy your clips . And you leave very little dead spots where you don't speak . I absolutely hate those videos where the person don't talk ,just film . Great Job Sir .
U should do a winter storm in ur shack again.
We camped when I was a child. The 2 families had 4 man tents, cots, camp cook stove, battery tv for the weather forecast only, and even a camping toilet. The parents cooked breakfast on the stove but all other meals were done on the fire and were usually what we caught that day fishing. We spent many a Christmas vacation at that campsite. Winter is the absolute best time to camp no matter how you camp.
The thing I noticed about the military - my husband was in the Army 23 years - is the opportunities they give people. Opportunities that in large part they'd never get in a civilian job. The Army took a hay-seed N. C. country boy and molded him into a soldier, then a man and then gave him opportunities he never dreamed were possible. From a recruit out of high school all the way through college degrees and retiring as a Major (O-4). From pickin' cotton as a summer job to designing computer programs - the Army was good to us. Blessings to your daughter and much success. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Thanks for the respect for military community. I’m at 15 years enlisted and you’re right, it’s a difficult job, it takes a certain type of person, and there’s just a lot to serving. Anyone can do it, and it’s incredibly rewarding, but they have to be willing to adapt to the stress, hard work, culture, and tradition.
Great video. Thank you for acknowledging the military and the tough job they do. I served in the USAF (Security Police) from 1978-1998. Went in right out of high school at the age of 17. Scared to death, but excited. Keep up the great videos and reviews.
I was an USAF SP '79-'99, glad I kept my camo gortex jacket, still use it today.
Luke is our cool outdoorsy uncle that asks us to go with him to the woods.
Good job Luke. Thank you and Suesan for supporting your Daughter.
Yes !! It’s perhaps my favorite TH-cam channel that I am subscribed too. He reviews MRE’s from Every Country in the world especially U.S MRE’s. 🙂 the Chanel is called - Steve 1989
My favorite part of camping is the sound of nothing but wind howling through the trees. Other than that, staring into the fire at night. Everything tastes better by a campfire.
I don't know why I'm so comically entertained by watching Luke fly into a wild chopping montage right in the middle of the video. It just makes me chuckle every time I watch this one.
Thank you Maddie (sp) for your service! 🇺🇸💪👍
Glad you added the Tabasco sauce , Thanks for the military surplus and the thanks to the Veterans and send your daughter our love.
Tp’ing a tree just before an ice storm is friggin epic!!!!!!!!
Used army surplus for outdoors, can't beat the deals. Had a canvis jungle hammick( bear burrito 6lbs) , best 6 lbs I ever carried hiking, camping. Comfortable, used for a vision quest , cut the screening out and used to, take a knapp in 35 deg winter hiking ,comfortably out of the wind for years. Will need to restring with parachute card, 500 lb rope (40 ft), cost more than the hammock.
Used a slip knot, then put hoop from tail , into main hoop , tightened main hoop down, 1 pull knot that can hold 300 lb. Handy knot works with hammocks , won't slip.
Am xmilitary , used surplus cuz, it's the only thing that worked and lasted, Had a m59 field jacket for snow storm walking when a kid, tough stuff. Had a store nearby .The mole gear finally adressed the shoulder strap issue.
May your daughter be youthful and safe, hope she visted for xmass. Still use the life skills learned in the military, don't panic just get it done, then" if you have to" take it up in the parking lot after the job is done. And it ain't cold, till the car battery freezes. A blizzard just reminds you how far the chow hall really is, why you don't wear cowboy boots in snow !!!!, 10' of snow will braek your fall from a 2nd floor window. And finally you won't get a cold for 6yrs after the military pea soup they shot in your arm. And where's my thermal mug.
Thank you, for reminding us all how quiet the woods really are.
6 yrs active duty in the USN. It's a grind. Family support eases the pain. Keep up the good work !
Thanks for serving!
I recently left a job, got hurt and to old, where I serviced military aircraft. I was always so impressed by those 18, 19 year old kids getting those E3 and E6’s, KC-135s ready. I wished more people could see them, as opposed to the people on the news. The main reason there are so many suicides in the military is fear of losing their security clearance if they find ask for help. It’s sad
Four years Marine Corps, with 22 months in Vietnam. I’ve done the military equipment for real. My hats off to your daughter.
I think you have the movie/book mix the right way around. To watch a story on a screen is like watching a lake. To read a story is like swimming through the lake.
Living vicariously through military grade gear.
hey and luke by the way ,ive watched ur vids 4 years and i can garante u your daughter is watchin her daddies vids,ur agood dad and im sure ur her hero,
Sure was a great tent and I was most impressed with the three tarp system you set up to enable you to sit by your fire and enjoy yourself. I share your enthusiasm for sitting by a fire, under a tarp system that you put together yourself and enjoying the adventure. Stay strong Luke. You’re a cool guy.
When I was young we could put up tent in front yard and sleep in it friends could come from out of state and stay all summer in RV in yard now days you cannot have a kiddie pool or extra cars in yard without neighbors calling police Thank you for bringing us on your adventure God Bless you
Steve 1989 is an mre channel
Second that. Best stuff.
I vote for a crossover episode! Steve is in FL and Luke is in NC. A Georgia outdoor adventure is in order!
@@foxcm2000 works for me
Gundog does a good MRE channel
let's get this out on a tray
After 20 years in the Air Force, I can tell you that Military Service is like a giant magnifying glass to personal problems. If you join as a stable, normal person the occasional difficulties we all face in life can look huge. However, if you bring emotional, mental, or physical problems into the service, they will look like Mountains. Fortunately the majority of jobs in the service are no different than their civilian counterparts you just have to do them away from home and sometimes away from family and friends.
Love sitting around the fire and shooting the BS. Best parts of all these type videos.
When I was younger I traveled around the US on a motorcycle all I could..It taught me a lot about quality camping gear..In WI and in the Winter when we couldn't tour we would go to state parks that were open and winter camp in snow and the cold..We had good tents and great gear..Even at 0 degrees we were snug as bugs in a rug..I remember the cops would come around and check on us..Actually they were very thoughtful!!..Camping in challenging conditions is either something you enjoy or you don't..I get it either way!!
Luke im living vicariously thru u cuz of kiddie havoc but i LOVE SNOW. And my fav camping adventure ever was in the harshest winter conditions. Hearing you say that its your fav makes me feel less crazy cuz everyone’s always bashing winter 🤙
I spent 20 years in the Navy and seen how it takes a toll on people. There are on average 22 veterans taking their own lives a day. make sure her and her friends talk to someone anyone if it gets hard being away from you guys. Thank her for her service for me and my family!!!
I really like these videos where you go out for an overnight. Very well filmed. I own that USMC shell now. Wear it everyday when I go for my daily hike in the woods. It's awesome.
I was also in the Navy in weapon systems missiles. I can tell u that it is a mental game when you first go into boot camp, but if you can follow orders and pay attention you will get through it and you won't be the same person you were when u went in. Remember these rules that are drilled into you during boot camp are designed to keep you and the person next to you safe. When you hit the fleet, the way you do ur job will effect someone else if you are not paying attention. That's why it is so important to learn to follow orders during boot.
Back in High School (I'm 37) after Christmas, 2 of my buddies and I collected about 25 old Christmas trees and stuck them in my friend's front yard. There was about a foot of snow on the ground so all the trees were standing. His house looked like a tree farm. The next summer the same friends and I collected all sorts of household furniture and set it all up in his yard. We had a treadmill, an old PC, a couch, and other stuff. Good innocent fun. LOL
Due to health issues I no longer can hike to camp.when my boys were younger we did alot and fished many streams. Thank you for videos I truly enjoy them.
That is so exciting knowing you like snow storms and camp in them!!!
My favorite breakfast meal is one biscuit, sausage gravy, and scrambled eggs on top. YUM!!!
Young and crazy. We've all been there, Luke. We go through life's phases and learn as we go along. I have some idea of what Madison does having been the "doc" on radar sites, having military buddies who worked in top secret positions. Their jobs are extremely high stress and burn outs happened. The intelligence quota of these guys can be off the charts. Now, fast forward to April 2020 and the Covid-19 crisis. Thanks to You Tubers like you as we experience social distancing and quarantining we can almost enjoy the experience living vicariously through your adventures. This episode is one of my favorites in that it involves military surplus gear. Probably 95% of my gear is military oriented having served 23 years in the United States Air Force as an Independent Duty Medical Technician with several air rescue missions under my belt. As you ingested the contents of the MRE packages, I couldn't help recalling my experiences with them and previous K or C rations, whatever they were called. Although it was sustenance it was deplorable..my apologies to those who loved them. It got to the point I maintained a food kit in my deployment bag made up of food products I enjoyed. I like that you think outside the box and improvise. e.g. your makeshift shelter with the three tarps. While out on deployments there were many occasions that improvising made our mission more enjoyable. Keep up the great work and your camera skills are absolutely amazing, both visual and audio.
Car key on a carabiner. Genius.
You guys take care, during these crazy times. All the best, from England.
I’m 17 livin here in Indiana and this inspired me to get out there and do some real camping. I commonly go out in the woods, taking my Jeep renegade and camping with a tent right by the car, only going out when the conditions are perfect, and with many friends but this video showed me how much I’m missing with my “glamping” and so I bit the bullet and got myself a blue ridge camping hammock and a backpack and I’m gonna go trek the Hoosier national forest. I hope to have half as much fun as you have, and if I do, I consider that a success. Thanks for the inspiration
hey luke,god bless ur daughter and we hope shes safe,i have a daughter that is fightin 2 get into med school,she wants to work in the er,she respects what maddy is doing and we pray 4 her ,i feel like we r friends cause we have watched maddy go thru this with u ,maybe we r startin a new generation u and i with r daughters ,thanks 4 sharin the trip friend
Learn to spell.
I serviced in the navy back in January 1974 V/V veteran.
Dennis Cheslock Army for me, thank you for your service.🇺🇸✌️
@@redsorgum and thank you for your service Dennis
Exhaust sounds awesome! Enjoyed the trip!
I love it when you go out in storns. 👍👍👍.
tell your daughter thank you for her service and that we as Americans want to thank all who serve us. we know it takes more then most people can do.
Coolest tent ever.
Nice I really liked it.
But then coyotes! I'll replay it tonight for sleeping background.
Cool tent.
I spent 23 years serving our great country. But when I was picking a branch i choose the USAF. We stayed mostly in hotels.
However this is cool. May have to try.
When stationed in Idaho several of my friends and I would camp. Winter is my favorite too.
Hi Luke. I served in the South African Navy in 1990..... what a blast...... these days under the new goverment it is a discrace..... keep up the nice vids..... regards Philip ....... South Africa
i'm doing ok.!getting ready for bed,and getting ready to go to dialysis treatment tomorrow.!
Hey Luke love snow camping it's quite peaceful hope you are well much love your way be safe have a wonderful weekend
Hello Luke, wonderful video even if the weatherman gave the wrong forecast, thank you for sharing. Have a awesome weekend, take care and God bless you and your Family always. 🎄🇺🇸🔥☕️🎄☃👼🏻👼🏻
My breakfast doesn't change much typically coffee and oatmeal. Great video as always.
And no bugs! Cold is your friend as long as you layer up!
Always outstanding footage for a one man show!
Thank you for sharing. I have two sons in the Marines. :)
And the smell of fresh INSTANT coffee........Now that s really nice.
Excellent. I enjoy the Military Surplus adventures, thoroughly. ^^
Oatmeal is good for you 😊 always!! As always awesome tent and sleeping arrangements!! Nice to see you again!!
Yes sir... She's correct..not all coffee is coffee..lol ⛺💨👍 thanks for great videos
The ol Tundra sounding good Luke 💪🏻👌🏻
My blessings to your daughter!!
Build you a fire pit and line the bottom with stone and fill the gaps with smaller pebbles. I found the stone radiates more heat for keeping fires going and for warmth, but also much easier to restart a fire in the morning as there is a small area that remains glowing hot, just add tender.
I love these trips you take us on! Can’t wait for a good amount of snow!
Good Morning Luke (from a South African living in Switzerland) ..
Great Posting .. thanks ☝😊.
Having also served (yeaaaars back 😊), I also have a fondness for Mil Surplus / Equipment. The genuine stuff will just not let one down.
Yep .. my Swiss '84 Canteen and Cup (a fairly recent purchase .. 10 years or do) and S.A. Mil Water Bottle with matching SS 'Fire Bucket' aka Canteen Cup (personal issue from the 1970's)l continue to 'do their duty' to this day 👍. I still have and use, my original issue folding Esbit Stove (1968) .. not with the EsbitTabs though (I have these as backup). 'Sicherheitsbrennpaste' (Gel Fuel) is far more common here (and much cheaper) .. available in any Supermarket (DiningTable Top 'Raclette' and Fondu Evenings are a Swiss National Sport with the Gel Fuel as heat source .. so, no problemo 😊). Burn Containers for the Gel Fuel consists of a set (3) of Glass Jar Metal Screw Tops in different sizes. Each packs into the other and together with the Esbit Stove (and Tablets therein), fits nicely into a Mil Issue Webbing Compass Pouch .. done deal 😊.
My apologies for the 'Useless Information' Ramble 😪 .. but .. 'getting outdoors' does not have to cost an arm and a leg. There is plenty affordable good quality gear on the market that can be used to get one 'out there' .. not mentioning the 'stuff' at home. With some minor mods, SS Tea and Coffee containers make for excellent Cook Pots. Just a bit of lateral thinking and basic hand tools .. lots more raw material to be sourced / 'requisitioned' (at risk sometimes 😉) and converted to Outdoor Gear.
Enough .. once again Luke, thanks from an 'Old F*rt' for bringing back some good memories and until next time ..
Take care .. Tommy
Thanks a lot for your videos, they are like a vacation from this insane world for me!!!
Thanks for sharing. The clean cut look is very professional.
Excellent adventure Luke. Love those distant shots of your campfire. Very creative. It’s a great feeling to be snug and warm with the wind howling outside. You captured that experience. Congrats on having so fun on your very own LWM.
Doing some catchup on past videos. Looks like a fun trip. Stay safe and God bless
Love your overnight videos...keep going man good job!!!!!
Thank you for her service ❤️💗!
Luke Thank you for filming these adventures.
Luke👍👍 Chill out man...oh, never mind, you already did.... Great vid. Enjoy!
Man, you put out great videos. So much time to do but greatly appreciated!
I just found your channel a couple of days ago I have tried to watch as much as I can I love going camping and I like making bacon, eggs and biscuit for breakfast on my camping trip
Have a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year. 🎄🎄🎄
just for thought. construct a wind break, stuff openings with ground material. the wind usually changes directions in the night (not in your weather forcast) will need two at angle for fire pit.
New game...Every time Luke says coffee take a drink! Cheers🍻
another game every time Luke yawns, yawn back and take a drink
Fattmattamus 75 😂😂
Luke as I have served in the Military both of those MRE's are great choices, the one you dont want is the freeze dried pork patty, if you ever come across it run just run for your life lol the are truly hanous.
Love these overnight adventures in bad weather conditions. Cool gear, be Interesting to see you go through the layering system from base layers to shell layers (mill surplus)
Huh, I'd honestly never heard of "forking" a house before. Nice. Now toilet papering, egging, and flour bombing I have some experience with.
Oh and if you guys love pb&j sandwiches, you *need* to make and try the grilled version. Exactly the same as you would a grilled cheese sandwich just replace the cheese with peanut butter and jelly. Life changing.. 😁
👍👌✌
Man that TundraNator truck sounds sweet. Great video and your idea of Military Grade Tasters Nasty coffee got my attention. Lol
As for pranks, l once had a coworker that always did crazy things to my truck. We worked with a food service company and he always backed his car into a parking space. One Friday after all the ladies had left l went into the ladies room and got a full box of tampons. Opened them and dipped each one in red food coloring. Tied them under his rear bumper. Monday came and he walks up and said he would never touch my truck again. He went to Church that Sunday and walks out with his parents to find a multitude of elderly ladies at his car. Told me he about got beat to death with Bible's. Lmbo
Yes about time I been waiting for a full length overnighter
I'm so glad you are back and the snow love your videos happy holidays to you and your family stay safe and be bless
I really like the ECWCS Level 7..looks like you were very warm and comfortable wearing it.
I'm still learning about camping in the outdoors and i've been doing it since I was 12. The new technology they're coming out with compared to what I had years ago, is just astounding. I usually bring Packaged Hot Dogs/Burgers something kinda easy. I have this cool Tri-pod that sits over the camp fire, it's basically a hanging grill (Cheap one from Walmart nothing exciting) I have a Sleeping bag from years ago, still doing me justice, rated for 13F (I know there are better, this works for me though)
I have got to say, the best thing I could have ever picked up was a Life Straw. Saved my ass on many hikes when I forgot my Water Bottle.
The past couple years, i've been trying Hammocking out, trying different area's in the Adirondacks. Sometimes near the Finger Lakes. I really enjoy setting my Hammocks up over Dangerous looking spots, mainly for protection and the beauty.
Have you looked into the Spyder Hammocks? Would be amazing to see a review on one of those.
I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s.. was a teenager in the mid to late 1970s and we got into a lot of stuff but no serious trouble just a lot of fun.. everything from skitching on the back of bumpers during the winter time to get from one end of town to another.. to zip lining off a cliff.. to buzzing around town on our mini bikes being chased by the cops... Luckily my friends and I never got into serious trouble.. remember back then we had access to m80s and quarter sticks.. in various other aerial fireworks... And when we were out of fireworks we made our own out of household items. 😂..
Heading for the A.T. for a week and this is gonna be good to watch beforehand ! Settling in now, 3,2,1 go
I like your videos. I did 4 years peacetime service in the 1990s USMC. That was the LAST time I ate an MRE. MRE stands for Meal not Ready to Exit. Don't miss them, lol! At MCRD San Diego my senior drill instructor told us "Trust me you will get tired of these" Only in a dire emergency will I eat one again :)
My go to tarp shelter is the plow point with the back to the wind. And I use the firebox stove for my fire pit.
