I lost my 17 year old cat last July. He loved to camp. I have new kitten, I hope he learns to enjoy it too. God Bless our Fur~Babies. 💞 Sleeping in a tent in steady rain is so relaxing. ✌❤🤘
A suggestion for rain pouring off of a tarp or a tent when there is debris on the ground. Pull the debris towards the tarp to create a pile. Make sure its pulled back behind where the rain is puddling. It will act as a splash guard. Which helps keep gear under the tarp dry.
Our dogs never truly leave us they are with us in our hearts and minds forever the world just wouldn't be right without dogs we can learn a lot from them
So there is actually a cool way to make a water proof torch in the wild. You grab some long grass and start tying it all together. You kinda weave it all together. Then you tie all that weaved gras onto a stick and then you find a sap tree and get some of that sap and put it all over your grass. The sap will light even in the rain on the wet grass. And youll have yourself a nice waterproof torch.
Luke, this is one of the reasons why I love watching your videos. Not only are you willing to get out when the weather gets interesting, but you get excited about it. You have inspired me to get out whenever time allows and when the weather takes a turn. I live in Nebraska, so that normally means getting out and making a shelter and fire when it gets cold. I still need to work with really raining situations. Great job!
love your channel and videos. my wife and i were touched by your comments about your dog. it’s the same words we use when explaining our relationship with our maltese. He is my 7x24 best buddy and a life force that makes the whole family happy when he is around.
Luke, hugs for the loss of your best mate....After many years of "camping" in the Australian Army I swore I would never sleep under a tarp ..or Hootchie as we call it, I spent a fortune on tents and have moved back to using a 3x3 Tarp and a Macpac Bush Cocoon....small and light set up.
For some reason, the YT algorithm hasn't suggested your videos for some time. I've been looking at a few pieces of gear for summer hiking (not much needed in Florida). The videos out there left a lot to be desired, both in the quality of production and quality of info. The algorithm fortunately recommended this video, reminding me just how high quality your content is. Thanks for the time and energy spent on creation/production, and my condolences about your dog.
Ahh just what I needed. A calming camping adventure. In chaotic times like these you really gotta appreciate the little things. So sorry about your dog. rip dear friend. It's never easy - lost my cat 3 years ago and I was just so heartbroken.
Luke, I lost my cat of almost 16 years a couple weeks ago, we adopted him as an adult cat, from a local shelter, like your sweet dog, our Buster was very loved and so missed, when our pets leave us, it very hard! Blessings to you and your family, thank you for the awesome videos, the camping you do is something I can not do, so I really appreciate your adventures, I love it when your Suzy is with you!
@@JamesWilson-gw2ij he was talking about losing his beloved dog, and I related how we lost our very loved cat, what’s wrong with you, why are you so hateful? Did you even watch the video, because your stupid is showing, you seem extraordinarily nasty! Sheesh
So sorry for the loss of your dog. I know exactly how that feels. I absolutely love your channel. I am a weather spotter/ chaser For the national weather service here in Wisconsin so your weather videos are my absolute favorites and you do a lot of them. I think you are by far the best channel out there for this type of thing. You are so extremely knowledgeable, I learn something from every video. Thank you!!
I watch all your videos I find Of coarse the heavy storms are the best for Me You have so much Knowledge and you share with your audience freely I love your family stories We camped with our Children when we were Young I am alone now and you Help me with your wonderful stories The sound of your voice Is so pleasing to listen to You are a Mark Twain story teller It is important to me to Hear about how your Children turned out Their respect for you And mom I live in Tennessee A great state of beauty Strength and Honor
I've never thought of myself as suggestible, but I'm noticing something when I watch your videos. You make coffee? I'll make a cup of tea. You check the weather? I check my local weather! You hear thunder? I pause and listen to my window sounds! It's cracking me up! I also look for rain drops on my windows in down pours. LOL. You pull the viewer into your experience.
Loved the tarp demonstration! The Ionosphere tent is interesting too I can’t wait for my first order of Stowaway Gourmet meals to arrive and finally try them. I haven’t had any luck obtaining Real Turmat meals. If you hear of a good deal/site, do pass it on. The life-long memories with your pets are priceless to recall. I challenge you to spend one hour trying to recall all your favorite moments from past pets. You won’t regret it. Fun video Luke!
Hey Luke I'm watching this video it's 11:44 pm and enjoying every minute of lightning thunder rain 🌧️ . Thank you 🙏🏽 I binge watch you and sweet Susie videos. Love the sound of rain. Let it rain let it rain ☔. Ms. Ann❤
Great timing I’m in upstate ny ,leave tomorrow for a extended weekend in the woods to escape the craziness that’s going on in the world right now.the only thing I’ll miss is my 4 month old puppy but just ordered him a backpack,a rainy day in nature.I’ll take it!! Thanks
Never camped with a tent until after having kids to watch over, always used a tarp. It is nice to see others enjoy it as much as we did. It was such a habit that even after we started using tent, we still had to string up tarp over the tarp. That really helped intercept hot sun, pine cones (the big heavy ones) and falling sticks in the wind. You bring back wonderful memories of many years ago. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Yet another great video! My wife and I do a lot of local camping at family campgrounds and we have learned a ton from you so thank you. We're so sorry for your loss. My family sends yours love and thoughts in this difficult time. Cherish the memories and hold them close,... they are never truly gone. Strength and Honor
Then you should understand that camping in an area with large trees and knowing there will be strong storms is idiotic, he will get you killed, thank you.being in a forest is little protection and unreliable.
I truly appreciated your use of a tent inside of the tarp. I, for one, miss the days of your reviews without the bushcraft focus. Thank you very much for this video.
Honestly, I think is my favorite video you’ve put up. Who needs a tent when you have a kickass tarp. Oh, the sky getting green? Usually precedes tornados.
One thing I've loved about your channel from day1 is how you use different gear to enhance gear that may not be the greatest at times. I have cheap tents that normally I wouldn't think of using in a storm, but from you, I've taken note of how you use tarps to block the majority of rain or snow off your main tent. I've also noted various methods you've used to make a 3 season tent usable in winter as well.....Strength and Honor my friend,
A couple years ago I was hammock camping in Upstate South Carolina. It had been raining off and on for a month. The ground was completely saturated and there were large puddles of water all around. A storm came in in the middle of the night. The wind picked up. And to my terror whole trees began to topple over. I'll never forget that night.
Brought back so many memories of My 23 Years in Remote Area Search in South Australia and of so many wonderful nights spent camping with colleagues. Also memories of the people rescued and unfortunately of the bodies recovered.
LOVED my guy too....he was 16.5 yrs old...he arrived as a 6 week old puppy that someone threw away....i held him in my arms when he drew his last breath...LOVED HIM and in my mind we shall never be apart...till my last breath....so long my friend....
had my new 15x15 AquaQuest tarp out for the last week testing it here in The Rockies with heavy wind and snow, absolutely bullet proof, love tarp and tent camping!
Nice one Luke👍👍 Aqua Quest tarps are the bomb, have several and serve me well. Good set up when all said and done, wind and rain no problem. Ideal pitching the tent under the tarp, plenty of room for the biggie bivy.. Stormy weather is fun when you can stay dry and out of the wind, otherwise not so much. Great video and well filmed of course, good job, thanks. Enjoy!
I respect you guys who do these kind of videos commitment and grit. Not only is it educational from a if crap hits the fan and we have to absolutely survive standpoint but just the strength and care and attention to detail and not to mention the environmental suffering you guys put yourselves through to present this sort of stuff to us is amazing
Love the versatility of that tarp (and the fact that you know how to use it). It's one thing to go out in similar weather in a Hilleberg or Exped or whatever, but doing it in a tarp is a whole 'nother thing. Always enjoyable to watch, thanks for putting out consistently high quality stuff!
awesome again luke braver than me camping in a storm . i love rain n snow but petrified of storms . would love to see susie out camping again miss seeing her 😎
You produce such wonderful quality videos. Great storm and great advice. Loved the story about your dog. Small dogs have tons of personality, a lot of dog in a small space, they are concentratedL:) Hope you and your family will have more happy memories when thinking of her than sadness. She had a wonderful, long life. Cheers.
I agree completely that we should take along a little extra when there will be adverse weather and even non-threatening weather. As a camper of 30 years, I've found this to be useful. I just purchased a -35 deg sleeping bag. That's one thing I've been needing. With the world the way it is now, we need to be prepared. If power goes out at home, I'll have the warm sleeping bag, an alcohol burning cookstove, a butane cookstove and a tent which can be used to keep warm indoors when power is out. Also have a cot with thicker type mattress & many other useful camping items. Hopefully, I'll only need these things for camping, but nevertheless. Enjoyed your video. Your tarp really did the job.
I have the 15 x 15 foot AquaTarp. Fantastic tarp, well thought out, with more than enough tie-offs, grommets and such. Heavier duty than the Roadhouse tarp, but not what I would consider backpacking equipment. For me, a tarp makes more sense than a tent.
Another great video! I love the sound of rain be it tenting or at home. When you talked about your mini schnauzer it brought back memories of our MS, Daisy. We were best friends! She was not a fan of camping either. She would find her way back into the van sleeping in a tent was not her thing she never complained. We talk of getting another Schnauzer but she cannot be replaced ! ☹️
Cool video bud keep em coming. Hope the family's doing great. Really like the tarp used in the video too. Stay safe and be well. Strength and Honor... sorry for the loss of your dog brother it can be a painful time. There's another out there who needs your love. Don't take to long finding it.
Always enjoyed your channel. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. Wife and I and family send our love. We watch you as a family in the summer months because we are winter campers. God bless you sir. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🐺🐺🐺
Stay safe Luke. I hope you and your family are doing well. When I watch these it reminds me of my younger days. Thank you for showing people how nice it could be with camping and testing out different types of gear. God bless you
Great video as always Luke. I always make myself a coffee before pressing play, because i know i'll be craving a coffee for some odd reason, not sure why lol. I always set up my camp in case of storms, so i don't have to worry about pop up storms in the summer. I also use rainfall runoff from my tarp as extra drinking water. Dollar store shower curtains work great as tarps too :)
Dogs are friends who are very loyal and members of our family. I remember my dad's dog who pass away but he had full life and is still remembered and now they have two new dogs they are new members of the family who bring so much more to our lives
What a brilliant way to position the tarp! I always wonder why more people don’t put them closer to the ground during bad weather. The towel idea was awesome. You have given me some ideas when I camp this summer! Green can mean a tornado could pop up.
As you were walking in I was thinking what a wonderful location to do a winter hot tent camping episode that would make maybe next winter! With all the available standing small stick wood and fallen dead wood, there would be minimal effort to build quite the supply with just a folding saw like a Silky and a camp axe for any splitting necessary! I love the location and this video Luke!!
Great video I'm in Eastern Kentucky and I enjoy watching that video that you just made camping in the rain that's pretty nice actually thanks for sharing my name is Randy Johnson looking forward to more videos.
I love your artistic video touch, the amount of transitions in your videos is mind blowing. I could only imagine how many more steps you add to get to a hiking spot with all those different camera angles set up.
@@ChristelVinot how to stay in killer shape, start a hiking gear review channel. I hate it when I think I dropped something and got to double back, he's basically doing it on purpose. It was easy to subscribe to him just for his dedication alone to be helpful
@@Bushmen918 This video is definitely good stuff. I do a lot of kayaking and record my trips. Sometimes I gotta do the same... I'll record a neat shot but need to do it over again or get another angle so I gotta paddle back up the river current to get to that spot lol. The joys of being alone and filming in nature hehe.
Well done Luke!! Uv made a great shelter for urself & as im new 2 ur channel a BIG THANK-YOU 2 u for giving all the viewers including myself a REAL taste of camping & thee outdoors!! Just great👍 ((l think I'm getting the camping bug already!!)) 🤣🤣🌧🌧⚡️⚡️⛈️⛈️🌩🌩🤣🤣
I love this channel. It´s amazing how you use bad weather in your advantage and end up with a beautiful video, testing stuff in the most demanding situations. Greetings from Ecuador.
I'm a new viewer on your channel & i love it. I have always loved camping. My pop made sure me & my 4 brothers knew what we were doing. He taught us so much! If theres fishing included i love it even more! Thanks for sharing in your journey 😊
My dog is a chihuahua mixed with jack russell terrier (I think?); he absolutely loves camping, he loves the outdoors, us being outdoors and taking him for tons of walks. He’s getting up in years, he’s now 12 and I am worried about him passing in the next few years. Thanks for stressing having the 10 essentials with you!!
Camped in a storm like this on a mountain top in Alabama a little over a month ago with tornado warnings all around us. First time being in a bad storm tent camping and with a new nemo aurora tent. Tent did amazing and we didn't get wet. I wish we would've had a tarp setup like this to cook under because we pretty much just had to get in the tent or vehicle to get out of it. My dad, brothers, and I all really have enjoyed your videos over the years.
I lost my 17 year old cat last July.
He loved to camp.
I have new kitten, I hope he learns to enjoy it too.
God Bless our Fur~Babies. 💞
Sleeping in a tent in steady rain is so relaxing.
✌❤🤘
I completely understand.
Our pets are our little gifts from God...

Great idea!!!
This guy isn’t there for all that, he bought a backpack off Amazon with a coupl bs gadgets and a lawn chair lol

@@garypayne785 what is he suppose to bring? Lmao, you sound bitter af
Our dogs never truly leave us they are with us in our hearts and minds forever the world just wouldn't be right without dogs we can learn a lot from them
Out of all the campers, bushcrafters, and survivalist, YOU are the very BEST, strength and honor, and I know in my heart you could win Alone
I love falling asleep to the sound of the rain. So soothing. Thank you for taking us along.

You could hold a Rock Concert under there. Well done Luke.
A whole troop of Boyscouts and all their gear would fit in there. LOL
🔥🤘👹👍🔥
"well OH YEAH!!!"
People who come up with these ideas for camping are geniuses I love these products

The sound of that rain on the tarp is therapy out in the elements cosy

Nice camping video. Love camping in the rain hearing thunder off in the distance so peaceful. Love your videos. ✌️
Luke, I am so sorry for your loss of your dog. The Rainbow ridge is a blessings that pokes like a thorn. Prayers for your family"s loss.
Thank You Luke. All this teaching will surely help me when I'm out there camping. LOVE and GOD BLESS You Susie and Your Family 💜💙🤗

Love being in a good storm!!👍
I love listening to the storm when camping. I usually fall asleep 😃
epic tarp, real nice set up nasty storm , and what a pretty area to set the tarp up and camp.thanks for taking us along
I love storms like you do...
Awesome video Luke! I just love every video you do that involves rain events.
Another superb video with wise guidance. Great storytelling.
And great adventure. Your set up was great, open and dry and perfect for one or two people. I've got a 10x10 Aquaquest tarp and I really like it.
Camping in the rain and storms. My absolute favorite

Cheers from Canada Luke. I can't get enough of your videos. Great job.
As you were walking in I was thinking what a wonderful location to do a winter hot tent camping episode that would make maybe next winter! With all the available standing small stick wood and fallen dead wood, there would be minimal effort to build quite the supply with just a folding saw like a Silky and a camp axe for any splitting necessary! I love the location and this video Luke!!
Great video I'm in Eastern Kentucky and I enjoy watching that video that you just made camping in the rain that's pretty nice actually thanks for sharing my name is Randy Johnson looking forward to more videos.
I love your artistic video touch, the amount of transitions in your videos is mind blowing. I could only imagine how many more steps you add to get to a hiking spot with all those different camera angles set up.
lol ikr I thought to myself, whenever he's seen walking away from the camera we know he's about to have to run back to go get it haha
@@ChristelVinot how to stay in killer shape, start a hiking gear review channel. I hate it when I think I dropped something and got to double back, he's basically doing it on purpose. It was easy to subscribe to him just for his dedication alone to be helpful
@@Bushmen918 This video is definitely good stuff. I do a lot of kayaking and record my trips. Sometimes I gotta do the same... I'll record a neat shot but need to do it over again or get another angle so I gotta paddle back up the river current to get to that spot lol. The joys of being alone and filming in nature hehe.
@@ChristelVinot subscription earned , nice channel you have.
@@Bushmen918 oh thanks!

Awesome tarp,That thing is huge lol,But I don’t blame you,Love being in the woods under a tarp when it’s raining outside 👍
I love this channel. It´s amazing how you use bad weather in your advantage and end up with a beautiful video, testing stuff in the most demanding situations. Greetings from Ecuador.
I'm a new viewer on your channel & i love it. I have always loved camping. My pop made sure me & my 4 brothers knew what we were doing. He taught us so much! If theres fishing included i love it even more! Thanks for sharing in your journey 😊
You are looking good, great to see you on the web again.
I love what you do but why is it that hiking out after a pretty good rain storm everything on the trail is dry ?? Strength and honesty !!
My dog is a chihuahua mixed with jack russell terrier (I think?); he absolutely loves camping, he loves the outdoors, us being outdoors and taking him for tons of walks. He’s getting up in years, he’s now 12 and I am worried about him passing in the next few years. Thanks for stressing having the 10 essentials with you!!
I really like these camping videos. They are oddly relaxing.
Camped in a storm like this on a mountain top in Alabama a little over a month ago with tornado warnings all around us. First time being in a bad storm tent camping and with a new nemo aurora tent. Tent did amazing and we didn't get wet. I wish we would've had a tarp setup like this to cook under because we pretty much just had to get in the tent or vehicle to get out of it. My dad, brothers, and I all really have enjoyed your videos over the years.
glorious tarp! makes me wanna build a fort!
