Thanks Luke for taking with you. This Weekend ,my wife comes with me for the first time for an overnighter. I hope,that is not her last time😅 Greetings from Germany
Great overnighter, Luke! I experienced that "flight or fight" years ago on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona and it involved facing a mountain lion. It was in a spring mode above me maybe 50 yards on a rocky ledge. It could cover that distance in just leaps. I yelled for my buddies to hurry and help me and as they ran back to me the animal turned and fled. I had to burn my underwear in the camp fire that night. Luke, I love your military surplus overnighters as 90% of my gear is from my military career and from local surplus stores. I appreciate the ruggedness and the longevity of the gear.
Hi Luke, Got to hand it to you, absolutely beautiful scenery and cinematography once again! You really have a talent for making these videos. Thank you sharing it & being our video guide! Looking forward to the next one too!
The scenery was absolutely beautiful. I always enjoy hearing your stories. What a way to wake up in the middle of the night. Wish I could’ve seen the dear’s reaction, as you probably scared him too? Thanks again Luke.
I camped back in the woods next to the parking lot where you parked. I also went to the top of the hill, past the FAA communications center you past and found a secluded camping spot. There was a stand of spruce, a stack of fire wood and a box of wood shavings. You should have went up the mountain another 500 yards. I camped there 18, 19, 20, 21 August and caught the eclipse. Great videos. Keep on hiking and camping.
Love that little camping stove very convenient and portable Those packages of camping food are so good i love the stroganoff one had that when i hiked and camped at the Shenandoah mountains
Not a cell tower, it's a repeater. It receives and relays a signal (usually data or phone) to another tower with identical antennas. They use these in place of laying fiber or copper over rough terrain. To reach your cell phone, it would need a cell transceiver which would have the tall narrow antennas you usually see on cell towers.
TheOutdoorGearReview.. Ya definitely a repeater.. I've helped work on many of those.. But I would think it's a repeater for that FAA sub station you found.. And like the other guy said.. They link a bunch of these together and shoot it back the whatever airport.. Anyways. Great video.. Definitely going to be checking out that cook set.. Probably be good for my fishing adventures lol.
TheOutdoorGearReview I hope you read this luke but your video's are amazing everytime I watch you, it makes my day I would just like to say thank you and keep up the good work
There is also an amateur radio 70cm repeater there. Operating on 443Mhz. Nice height to give a lot of coverage. Likely co-located with those microwave links.
29:47 I camped at Bowman Lake campground in Glacier National Park one summer. At night near my tent I could hear a deer pull, chew and swallow grass just inches away. It was such a soothing sound that it made me go right back to sleep.
Hey thanks for another great military gear adventure, those towers are microwave repeaters for aircraft the ones for mobiles are different looking tall and skinny. Thanks for sharing Luke
Man this was a cool trip!! I loved the sunset and sunrise! Very nice view!! Thank you for sharing! Another thing I was curious about is your alcohol stove set up?? Where did you get it, and how much did it cost?? Along with the brand of the stove and alcohol fuel you used??? If you could let me know I'd very much appreciate it!!! Looks like an efficient lightweight system!! Also the mess kit that worked so well to form fit the stove. Which I'm sure if a very efficient way to get every last bit of heat that stove produces!! Thanks for bringing us along on another awesome adventure!!! I very much enjoy your camping trips, and gear reviews! I'm an outdoor enthusiast and enjoy all things outdoors!!! Including camping, hunting, hiking, fishing, exploring, and many other things like snowboarding and cross country skiing! Your TH-cam channel, plus Corporals Corner. Are my two favorite TH-cam channels that go camping, and do gear reviews!! Although Corporals Corner does alot of bushcraft, survival skills, building shelters, and always a camping meal made over the fire. If you haven't checked out his channel yet. You definitely should!! He really knows his stuff when it comes to building shelters, and surviving with minimal gear! Alot like you, but most of the time he builds his own shelter and almost never stays at an actual campsite. He has an Amazon influencer page, that has alot of great gear. That he's already tested on camping trips. So whatever he puts his name behind is always good gear! Do you have an Amazon influencer page??? If so please respond and let me know the name I can use to access it!! Hope to hear back from you soon! Thanks again! Take care and stay safe!! Definitely do your best to not get the Corona virus! God bless you and God bless America!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for this one. Trangia is made in Sweden and here in Finland we use them a lot. The military kettle or cup is an old Finnish army style system developed in the 1930's and still in use in the army and also hikers use it. That was our secret weapon during the II WW including the big 200 L soup kettle with wheels. Still used.
Thanks for taking us along for the adventure! Front packs are awesome kit. I use a Ribz front pack ,large size - and find it indispensable. Amazing, what you can cram into it! For hard use, it looks like your Hill People Chest Rig would be more rugged than a Ribz. I have had no issues with my Ribz, but the front zipper is critical for holding the pack together. If that zipper breaks, you'd have to figure out a field expedient repair - just to keep going. It appears that a Hill People Chest Rig is less likely to break, and if broken - could be kept quite useable, with just some quickly added cordage.
Great video Luke. Gotta love it when mother nature scares you out of a dead sleep. Was out camping and was startled by a raccoon looking for scraps of food. Two years ago I had my wife awaken me cause she heard a bobcat scream in the night. Told her to go back to bed as there was a fire still going and I had my trusty rifle next to me.
I will :) I would definitely stay away from those high frequency towers or even camp near them. for 3 reasons, lighting magnets, radiation, and you might get in trouble. amazing that the gates were open and no one around unless they were in the building.
Another great video! A great location my family camped in the park and took a day trip to Whitetop mountain the weekend before the eclipse, Mt Rodgers recreation is super nice! first time there but will be back again. keep those great videos coming !!!
Luke, man, this is one outstanding video, truly inspirational. Your attitude towards everything is great, have fun in the “great outdoors” brotha, keep up the great work. Have a good one man
Alright so this is like the third or fourth video I have seen from this guy and I am having a great time. He seems like a positive guy who loves what he does. Definitely hyped for future videos. #SoDope
Watching this as I am sitting at my campsite with my daughter. Its almost 9PM CST here in Louisiana. Hurricane Harvey should start dumping crazy amounts of rain in about 12 hours. I really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!
I have watched many of ur videos awesome work and u have finally got me able to yawn ..so now u know u got someone in GA to yawn with u ...great vids and can't wait for more ...dustin
Now this is one of your better ones, lol... I never forget camping at Red Barn Campground along Sugar Creek and being woken up by a LOUD noise (like someone slamming a branch against a tree!) and coming out my tent with my 40 Cal and my mag light! Nothing, LOL..
Thanks again luke! I found the review on the olight head lamp and tomorrow I and heading out on a mission to find one . It's a must have for the Pinelands of NJ
A detailed paper map of the area would have answered all your questions regarding the roads. Maybe even the larger trails. That and a compass should be part of a standard pack.
I really enjoyed watching wish I could be there thanks for taking us along with you keep up with your great videos wish you all the very best my friend
Hi Luke, Thanks for this latest military surplus overnight adventure video. I was wondering if you would consider making a separate video about all the bear precautions you recommend for camping including how you set up your bear bag. Keep a fire going at night etc.? Thanks again!
I use to buy shine from the grandfather of the guy who took it legit. It's now sold as "Smokey Mountain Moon Shine." Only stuff I've ever drank that didn't get me sick, or give me a hangover.
The towers you asked about near the end of your video looks like microwave towers. They are used by the telephon companies to transport high-speed data circuits. Not used as much today as they were a few decades ago due to the use of satellites. Keep up with the good work, I can't get enough of it.
I've had one of those wake you up moments on the trail myself. Not sure what it was though. My guess is it was a deer moving through the bushes near me. It had me in fight mode as well. Took me about an hour to get back to sleep. Lol. I love that kind of stuff.
Thank you for the videos Luke. Your excitement and positive attitude are really enjoyable. You spoke of Colorado. Have you ever heard of the Missouri Breaks in Montana? If not check it out sometime..Thanks again Luke
Hi Luke! Awesome, great video. You always make video so much fun.!!. We made it all the way to South Dakota. Unexpected awesome and a beautiful State.! I think I saw a video where you went to Harpers Ferry. That's a place is nice.
Love it when you do Buzzards Rock. I'm still mad it was rain and fog when I was there. After 25 years I need to go back. Luke, if I ever get back there is a short hike available to get me there.(edited) Never mind just used the google and found it. Thanks brother
So cool to see you got to one of the Radio HAM repeater towers, I bought almost 1000 worth of HAM equipment about 2 years ago, got my license and call sign and have never used any yet, lol, how stupid ! although the license is good for 10 years, I got a really cool radio which I started to learn how to use and gave up because it is so much to learn about it, lol, tried to make contact once calling up announcing my call sign but got nothing, lol, so oh well, one more of those unnecessary expenses! The place that sold me the equipment went out of business and there are no more places in town that supports Radio enthusiasts, or just one really small place that gather a bunch of old timers who have been doing it their whole life..maybe one day I would go back to it...my radio I got is an icon D-51
hay Luke that is not a cellphone tower it is most likely for public safety police fire etc i climb radio towers for work i can't believe thay just left that gate to the faa site open like that was crazy keep up the cool Adventure videos
First rule of military surplus hiking. Before ascending a high mountain, put on your reserve parachute. Wait a minute! You licked a what? Anyway only you would bring a military grade laser on an outing and accidentally melt your shelter.
for anyone else wondering: "The sun dog is a member of the family of halos, caused by the refraction of sunlight by ice crystals in the atmosphere. Sun dogs typically appear as a pair of subtly colored patches of light, around 22° to the left and right of the Sun, and at the same altitude above the horizon as the Sun"
Thanks Luke for taking with you.
This Weekend ,my wife comes with me for the first time for an overnighter.
I hope,that is not her last time😅

I'd love to see you in Alaska Luke, I really like the rugged beauty of that part of America and a great place to test kit and mental fortitude.
'Right is right' - philosophy that makes you go in circles. :D
Haha Very good point! - Luke
Thanks for the adventure Luke, great views and sunrise.
Hi Luke! My wife and I watched the video in Colorado you made with Susan and we enjoyed so much. Thank you much for shearing!!!
love the camouflage on the tarp, it made me laugh, thank also great videos
Never a dull moment right Luke.Great video.Thank You.

great Luke:) beer in hand and just started watching:)
I hope that you enjoy it brother. Drink a beer for me too! - Luke
I will :) I would definitely stay away from those high frequency towers or even camp near them. for 3 reasons, lighting magnets, radiation, and you might get in trouble. amazing that the gates were open and no one around unless they were in the building.
Fun trip. I'd like to see the repair video for the mesh. Have a good one!

I was amazed by the taste of the biscuits and gravy. Consistency was different, it is a dehydrated meal after all, but the flavor was great.
Alright so this is like the third or fourth video I have seen from this guy and I am having a great time. He seems like a positive guy who loves what he does. Definitely hyped for future videos. #SoDope
Love your work bro, mad respect, I love being outside... keep it up brother...
What a great vid! Beautiful out there. Learned a lot & enjoyed it.
Way to roll with the punches Luke. We just moved to Virginia, and will need to explore this area. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.
I love Virginia and have explored a good bit of over the years. Enjoy!

Thank you Luke
love your honesty
Amazing video beautiful country mountains 😊
Just found your channel and subbed. I’m super impressed and think this was a fantastic hike! Really enjoyed it! Thx!!
A detailed paper map of the area would have answered all your questions regarding the roads. Maybe even the larger trails. That and a compass should be part of a standard pack.
Loved the Dukes of Hazzard reference.
Such a great video Luke.
I really enjoyed watching wish I could be there thanks for taking us along with you keep up with your great videos wish you all the very best my friend
Hi Luke, Thanks for this latest military surplus overnight adventure video. I was wondering if you would consider making a separate video about all the bear precautions you recommend for camping including how you set up your bear bag. Keep a fire going at night etc.? Thanks again!
Went to White Top years ago. Brings back memories. Mason jars then, too.
Hi Luke, what a great scenic video...and my I say funny too! Very interesting story time,Wow!! Take care until the next time. 👀👍☕️🌞🦌
Great video! Usually with sun dogs you get rain the next day.
I live in Ohio and it is a long drive but the area around Mt. Rogers is one of my favorite places to hike. I enjoyed the video.
Great job on this one!
Great video Luke your an inspiration. Paul UK.
Enjoyed this one from end to end! Thanks Luke! ZZ.
I use to buy shine from the grandfather of the guy who took it legit. It's now sold as "Smokey Mountain Moon Shine." Only stuff I've ever drank that didn't get me sick, or give me a hangover.
Fantastic camp site choice!
Hi Luke! Nice adventure!!
A smoky fire will help keep the bugs away. Like your videos.. Keep it up, mate.
U gotta love the USMC sleeping bag hoorrraaahhh
Love these military camp outs!
The towers you asked about near the end of your video looks like microwave towers. They are used by the telephon companies to transport high-speed data circuits. Not used as much today as they were a few decades ago due to the use of satellites. Keep up with the good work, I can't get enough of it.
Enjoying your video's. Biscuits and gravy is a staple when I go out, enjoy! ;-)
Thanks Luke! Great video. That's a sweet pack. Review coming up? I may get it.
I've had one of those wake you up moments on the trail myself. Not sure what it was though. My guess is it was a deer moving through the bushes near me. It had me in fight mode as well. Took me about an hour to get back to sleep. Lol. I love that kind of stuff.
Liked for the biscuits and gravy

Thanks George! I've got a Bushcraft Adventure coming up real soon! - Luke
Always enjoy the stories. Another amazing video Luke.you rock. :)

Enjoyed the Pink Floyd-ish music in the first half...
Thought that pack was cool till I looked up the price!!!!!
Awesome info!!
Hey Luke! Great video. If I lived in that area I would totally hit that place up.
Hi Luke! Awesome, great video. You always make video so much fun.!!. We made it all the way to South Dakota. Unexpected awesome and a beautiful State.! I think I saw a video where you went to Harpers Ferry. That's a place is nice.
Thank you very much Bear Track Woods!

Wish I could find wraparound sunglasses that fit over/around my prescription glasses.
Holly! TOGR overnighter, my night just got better. Luke you need to beard up again buddy
haha I agree! No more bets! - Luke
good one Luke
You should go out west to the Uinta Mountains via Henry's Fork Trail Head.
hay Luke that is not a cellphone tower it is most likely for public safety police fire etc i climb radio towers for work i can't believe thay just left that gate to the faa site open like that was crazy keep up the cool Adventure videos
First rule of military surplus hiking. Before ascending a high mountain, put on your reserve parachute. Wait a minute! You licked a what? Anyway only you would bring a military grade laser on an outing and accidentally melt your shelter.
You need to drive up to Pine Mountain and Grayson Highlands to see the wild ponies.
My son and I backpacked Grayson Highlands to Damascus; it's an Overnight Adventure.

I recently built a PVS 14 night vision device for horsing around in the night, it seems it would be perfect for you and your applications.
