Dude, you're one of most positive guys i've ever seen ) even when you're on your own you are always cheered and all like "WOW! AWESOME TREES! GREAT SQUIRREL!", so i suppose when you are in some company you become it's soul naturally ) Keep the good pace and be always happy - with greetings from Ukraine )
Анатолий Бакиновский Hey hey brother, thank you for the kind words.
It's great to meet like minded people like yourself.
Be good my friend and enjoy the adventure.
- Luke
You've insipired me so much with your positive attitiude
As a side note I just really wanted to say thank you for all the time and effort you put into sharing and making these videos, it's fantastic entertainment and great mental "outdoor" time during 80 plus hour work weeks. Thankfully though I am off this week and I am doing 2 over night trips.
Thanks again, a new friend. Rian
Loving the adventure so far....had to say as you were giving a tour of the tent after setup you said " here it is my friends"...'my 3 yr old daughter immediately asked where your friends were?! Lol I told her you were talking about the people watching the video, like us I said. She pauses to process and comes back with " well that's so nice 🙂" with a big smile! Lol
Be well
Craig
Hahaha That is really funny. Your story has made my day.
- Luke
+TheOutdoorGearReview that's always good to hear.
Fantastic video I was looking forward to you putting this up and I definitely was not disappointed. Thanks for all the hard work you do put something like this together.
Thank you so much Primal.
I appreciate you joining me for this adventure.
- Luke
Some of my favorite words to hear on TH-cam are TOGR saying "There is a winter storm coming in tonight."
About the showing his food. He never stops talking of his food over and over coffee and food what's up whit that like body.try to eat nicely buddy okaypeace
BEST VIDEO YOU ARE ON POINT WITH THE FOOD TALK I KNOW THIS IS AN OLD VIDEO BUT GOING BACK AND LISTENING TO YOUR TALKS IS AWSOME HAVE A GREAT DAY.
hey! Luke l was born and raised in the back woods of Kentucky. I'm 55 years old now and still love walking through my 102 acres of land. keep up the good work!!
THANK YOU!!!!.....For promoting SAFE FIRE PITS. Many don't realize HOW FAST a fire can take over, within Seconds....& a Good Time Goes VERY BAD!!!!!
Damascus is my old stomping ground. I love it up there. Living in the low country now makes me miss the mountains. Great video!
Outstanding hike. AT, one of my favorite spot.!!!! Thank you Luke!
Luke, awesome video. Very interesting dialogue and narration. One of my favorites.
Love your videos! Thanks for all the knowledge that you bring in your videos and I do appreciate that and I will take that with me when I go camping the very first time and thank you for teaching me some of the Bushcrafting ways!
Sweet video Luke appreciate all your hard work on producing your videos they just keep getting better with every new one you do!
Another awesome adventure Luke. I'm the same at the start of a trip when I'm struggling until the pack mule mentality kicks in. Good to hear about you and your bro being outside a lot as kids. It no doubt gave you a lot more than video games ever could. Take Care
Thanks Bob.
Take care and be well my friend.
- Luke
This has to be one of my favorite trips "we" have ever been on
I really like your answer to "do you like living in America." Well worded.
Hey Luke just beautiful love nature especially winter time so gorgeous have a wonderful weekend
When I worked I would go to Eagle Creek Park ( the biggest city park in the state) It is like a state park. It gave me such peace to walk thru the woods. I called it my theory. I am very ill , but when I feel ok walking in the woods makes me feel better than medicine. Nature is so healing.
Good video, as always. Your neighbor should know the first step in starting a fire is make preparations for putting it out. Easier done at home then out in the boonies. Glad to see how cautious you are about starting a large fire.
Hey Luke! Fantastic video, been hanging out for this one since the intro. Really enjoyed question time, very informative and great advice. The change in scenery after the snow was superb, you are so lucky to be able to enjoy nature in all it's glory like that. I can feel for you and your wife regarding her mother and her illness, I sat with my mother for three weeks as she ended her struggle with cancer, and it's really tough, the hardest thing I have ever done. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you, strength to you, hoping all goes well and she is with you for a long time yet. Take care and can't wait for the next adventure! Keep 'em coming!
Hey there David,
thank you so much for taking the time to write. It really means a lot my friend. I am very sorry to hear about your mother and my thoughts go out to you and yours.
Brother be well and take care. On to the next adventure.
- Luke
never seen snow in my life and you're just casually camping in it, i must admit i'm a little envious. thanks for another great video man
I think the Smokies burned in 2016 in November or December. It was very very dry. My mother had just passed so I was home feeling sad and this huge wind arose in the valley and it hit Gatlinburg TN pretty hard as it drove eastward. Glad you're having fun. I wish I could go back in time, and just appreciate the wonderful things that have passed in my life that I took for granted. Enjoy each day. Love each day. Feel productive each day and you'll feel like you are living. TY for the video it was very nice.
Great job Luke! Even years later, it is a good trip to watch.
Excellent answer to the "US" question, brother. That's why I swore to defend our beautiful home to the death
I appreciate what you do and the hard work that goes into doing it!
Luke, I really enjoy your videos! I'm always with you in spirit on your trips! I'm 58 and in 'not so good' health but was a avid camper when I was your age...Please make more videos soon...I watch what's on here over and over! I hope to meet you one day! Murfreesboro, Tn ain't that far from you! LOL...Keep on keepin' on, Brother in spirit''''
Robbie
Brother the pleasure would be all mine. As you said, TN isn't all that far.
Be well my friend and take care.
- Luke
I have hiked the AT in sections over time and have come across some pretty interesting things. IMO they should all be left alone right where they are. They all tell a story and are interesting to all who see them. I hope you and Susie continue to bless us with interesting, informative and adventurous videos. Thank you both so much. Hike on...
Thank you for doing this. Can't wait for the fall/winter weather so I can try this out. Any advice for first timers other than to carry light?
I've had deja vu since I was a kid, typically in dreams. I'll usually have a very strong recollection of the specific sights and sounds of the situation, while having a vague recollection of being half asleep and dreaming it...
Exactly ! It's the same for me except for the dreams. For me it always when I'm awake. Since young teen years.
Love these Overnight adventures! Started doing some on my own channel, inspired by your videos! But im going to be doing overnight bicycle adventures.
great video Luke thanks so much, looking forward to all of your upcoming videos. Seemed like a great camp site, I would love it if i had a forest so close to my house. Take care man.
I enjoy you very much Luke I enjoy watching you you make me laugh and enjoy having experience from you and camping I learn stuff from you all the time thank you for alert take take your time and do all these camping trips thankyou Luke valerie durr from South Carolina
Love the music you use - fits perfectly with whatever you are doing at the time.
You know the favorite things about being out in the woods. Seeing animals the deer foxs , birds, squirrels, bear. The peace and quiet, hearing the leaves crunching wondering what's coming. The sun coming up, and going down. The big moons. Its like a big movie happening right in front of you.
Another great video. Thanks for all the hard work in putting these together.
I don't know if you've done this, but last December I went camping with my dad,uncle,brother,and little cousin, we did our camping without a tent, we built our own shelter, but, I find that if you have a good clear space close to your fire pit, if the wind is just right on a cold night, it will send the warmth of the fire into your tent and it's pretty cozy :)
I really enjoyed this trip. The mountain was really steep. Almost got out of breath getting a second cup of coffee. Like the call ins. Added a lot to the trip.
Great trek beautiful scenery. That scene as you came out of the tent reminded me of one Christmas as kids when it snowed, wonderful. The tent looked great glad the snow didn't cause you problems with it. Appreciate your time and effort. The thing with answering Facebook question that's a good idea keep it up. Thanks.
Thank you greatly Opal.
That was a lot of fun and I can't wait for the next trip out.
- Luke
i love how polite and positive you are. dont change my friend
Luke a problem with having hobbies is having too many! Don’t know which one to do, what a terrible problem, right?Taking a bike trip is a great idea, lots of fun! Always enjoy your videos!!
Very positive person dude. People can learn a lot from you.
love the video, i love to go in the winter as well.
Man, I remember in 1984-1985 at White Sands Base, during desert training in the winter with 3 feet of snow. We lost have of the company due to frostbite... 80 soldiers.
but love your winter ViDZ!!!
First, thank you for your service. Second, were you 10th Mountain?
Your overnight adventure videos are awesome ! Ive learn alot from your videos .. keep it up Luke :)
Thank you so much Afiq.
Take care and be well.
- Luke
I think I like the snow as much as the rain. It was fun, thanks
I thought i would miss story time, but the Q&A round was as good as many short stories.. ;) i enjoy your videos keep em coming and stay safe.. Cheers...
I must say that you made that look so darned EASY! It must be nice to be superman. LOL
Creative editing I'm sure. Bet he works his butt off to bring everything together.
Richard Jones I'm just gettin' too old. EVERYTHING looks easy when someone else does it now.
Another fantastic adventure, Luke. Thanks for sharing. The best thing about packs that are built like the Fjallravens, even though they are on the heavy side, is just like you said, they are bulletproof. I carry my full size Frost River Isle Royal on just about every outing, which weighs in at the 7lb mark as well. I'm more than happy to carry that weight, though, because I know that pack is not going to fail me. These heavy materials will just about last forever. Also, nothing like a good can of beans in the outdoors! Cheers ~ Wm
Ha! Now I know how you can make so many videos, there are two of you! ;-) Great video my friend, Cheers Marc
You are a good Dad. It is the 1 on 1's that mean the most.
Biking is a very good idea! :))
I've been doing that for decades and it's still an adventure everytime i go out.
:))
With me it's the other way around, i'd like to hike more with a backpack. ;))
thank you for all the hard work you put in to make these wonderful adventures
Thank you so much for noticing my friend.
Be well and take care.
- Luke
I truly enjoy your vidos .hope to see you and your family camping soon.
Your overnight adventure videos always make me want to go rough it in the woods lol but being 17 as i am and with no car kinda puts a damper on things lol but still love all your videos.
Hi Lone Wolf...great video...!....This dude from tropics finally get to enjoy some snow....thanks for taking me along...:) Happy Outdoors.
Luke I agree 100% on the processed foods, my grand parents ate good old fashion country cooking, you know all those things they say we shouldn't eat, and lived into there 90's. I have in recent years started going to local farmers for my fruits and veggies. I rarely drink a soda but if I do I will get a throwback Pepsi with real sugar not that fake stuff. Great video as usual. I am starting this spring making my kids go camping and leaving the electronics at home, going back to the way I grew up, always outside.
Luke, great video enjoyed it a lot u are so down to earth nice seeing people like yourself that's far and few today take care bud can't wait to see your next adventure god bless my friend, Alvin
Told you before that every time I get a new tent the first thing I do is to set it up in my yard and then spray it down with silicone waterproofing spray, paying close attention to the seams. That stuff can turn a mediocre tent into a great one. I also use it on hats and gloves. And I experience Vu Ja De, the feeling that I have never seen anything before. Keeps me curious.
My brother spent 22 years in the Navy, as a meteorologist. 15 additional years with the National Weather Service.
His statement on weather was “50% science and 50% guess.”
Love the 80's style intro... 😄
Hey man your childhood was awesome! I also had the same type of childhood and Im proud of it! Also your video seemed uninteresting in the beginning, but as it progressed, it became more and more interesting! Keep up the good work! -Jamshed
Jamshed Holmuradov Thank you Jamshed!Take care of yourself.

Bergamint early grey tea or orange tea, I will mix green tea inside a tea but not plain, jasmine is too strong. Coffee is made to pair with steam cream or other base which is likely soy now - not healthy. Better coffee is the tea bag kind or your own blend in a teaball. The energy coffees mixing with water work but I’m not happy with them. I actually find coffee oil upsetting in extreme cold, and found over all, I drink bergamont earl grey and then mix it with fruit tea or antique tea blends. White tea is pretty cool as well and easy for those who like milk and can’t have it to drink without anything but maybe a touch of sweetener, lemon or orange zest. You can make tea at home from your garden, and drying zest from your fruit and particular flowers but need a book so you don’t poison yourself. I select tea at any grocery with organic section. It’s beautiful, smells good and has other functions such as bath soaks.
HaHa. I didn’t yawn. But you always get me yawning when you wake up 😅😂🤣😜💖🙏🇬🇧
Your da man...Great adventure thanks for bringing us along. And I cant wait to get back to the woods...
Thank you Michael!
How much longer until you can get out my friend?
- Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview Doing a 3 miler this weekend in the Smokys and cant wait...Praying for your Mother in Law and family. Tough deal..
Mike

- Luke
I love ur overnights therw awesome I do alot of camping and bushcrafting
Awesome video man. You have a real eye for capturing the moments and feel of each trip.
Thank you so much Solace.
Be good my friend.
- Luke
Hello there Luke, its me Mohammed. Awesome trip you have here. Loved it as always. Its a great thing you added the Q&A to this trip, should do it in the upcoming videos. Anyways i really laughed myself out during your double woodpecker moments, hahas! All in all, loved that you are indirectly my hiking mentor as you are a very humble individual. Looking ahead for more exciting trips and will always keep your mother-in-law in my thoughts and prayers too. Take care and be well my friend. - Mohammed :)
Thank you so much Mohammed.
I appreciate your feedback and input brother.
Be well and take care.
- Luke
I went on an overnighter a couple of weeks ago, and when I got to the campsite, I found an abandoned tent. It was pretty creepy. It was raining quite a bit out, and the rainfly was half off, and the door to the tent was wide open, and there was a pool of water inside. There was also a soaked sleeping bag laying inside. It was eerie, to say the least. No telling how long it had been out there, but it didn't look more than a couple weeks old. I guess you could say that was the first time I've ever found gear out in the woods as well. Excellent video!
Great video Luke as always! If you are looking for new adventures I'd like to suggest rock climbing, It's awesome! You would be like a spider on the wall!
Great video again Luke! I wouldn't be concerned about the life of your husky, I had one who unfortunately passed a 4 or so years ago but she lived to be 16! I hope your dogs live happy long lives like mine did!
Thank you MNOutdoors!
Here's to Happy Dogs. :)
- Luke
i love to watch you building your shelters
I love your videos man! What makes a great video is a guy with a great and happy personality.
Thank you Enzo.
I appreciate you watching and for commenting.
- Luke
Love This Wow Two States Meet In Camping How Cool Is This❤😊
Just recently happened across your channel Luke. Great work and I know just how much extra hiking you'll be doing to film your trips when you're alone especially. Its appreciated. Would love to hear some of your campfire stories about any weird encounters you've had whilst out on the trails. Following with interest buddy. Neil from Yorkshire, UK.
Another Great Video Luke, That climb out of Damascus is a hard one for sure,
No doubt my friend.
Be well and take care.
- Luke
Loved it! Great music selection and editing! As always, looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much my friend.
On to the next adventure!
- Luke
Thank you as always. Looks like it was peaceful..
Thank you for joining me Richard.
- Luke
My pack is for everything not just for camping but also a INCH pack, I have everything I need to walk into the woods and stay for life if needed...
Ol' Luke, rockin' the gear that we want to see! Good job, man.
I'm so jealous of all the trips you're able to take. Great Video as usual.
I am very lucky man. That's for sure.
Be well Nick.
- Luke
If you plan on doing a bicycle tour and have questions let me know. I've done many tours down the coast of California. I can tell you what worked for me that may help save money and time.
Thank you so much Wingman. I may have some questions for you brother.
I appreciate that greatly.
- Luke
Luke, great work once again! I live in AZ and it is really nice to imagine winter backpacking! I am in running shorts and tanks tops already :( ...easy on the load which is nice but maybe someday I will expierence some cold weather camping. Sssshhh don't tell I have never been in snow. :p
No need to get defensive Luke! Your a great guy and one thing you dont need is to feel bad for me! Thats for certain...I feel bad for you if you are out there and some individual wants to put harm on you and you have a way to protect yourself and your family and have your head in the sand the way of the world today my friend! So dont feel bad for me Luke just be smart man! Keep it real bud!
Your childhood sounds just like mine. Outside, in the woods from sunup to sundown. We had paintball guns and dirt bikes... which made it slightly more fun, but the same general idea. :)
I'm really glad that you left those shoes hanging in the tree! Here in Southwest Michigan shoes hanging in a tree denotes that a gang claims that area as being their turf. If you were to remove those shoes you would be challenging their claim, which could end up very bad for you and your family! DO NOT take a chance, these gangs are very close knit and very powerful! My wife and I were home care nurses and told never to enter a block that had shoes hanging from a tree or power lines. And if we did have to go, to do it in nursing white uniforms so everyone knew who we were!
Yet again Another Great video my friend. Keep em coming!
Be safe Luke ok. Love u and family too. Katie
Wonderful video man, thanks for taking the time to make. One thing, you need your own TV show. Watching you videos is so much better than whats on TV!!
Hey thanks David.
I greatly appreciate that my friend.
- Luke
I've had some guy giving me the creeps who followed me onto the beginning of a trail without carrying any gear. I was hiking out of a town and somehow it felt like he followed me with his car. He had this really weird vibe over him like on drugs or something. I set up a tarp, pretending to stay at a campsite and he went ahead on the trail. As soon as he was out of sight I double backed, went off trail to set up shelter somewhere else and covered it with sticks and leaf litter.
Good choice! Glad you were smart and stayed safe!
Cracks me up when he says I’m gonna put on my toboggan. Because then I think he’s going to put a sled on his head because that’s what a toboggan is.
Hey mi friend.....I enjoy your videos. I am an outdoors kind of person, and I really like the adventure. I am a Cuban from Miami, and also I will like to give you a big Like the way your think about your country. Nice answer!..You make me feel proud too!...I like to use the USA military equipment. Real good quality!....
Superb video, as always, I'm leaving TN for a job transfer to Green Bay WI. Not too much elevation to hike in, but, a very post glacier area with the 1100 mile "ice age trail" lots of erratics and rock formations, gonna be something new.
Thanks as always for your videos!
My friend I can't wait to see some pictures of your new surroundings. Sounds awesome to me.
Take care brother.
- Luke
Looks like a great trip, Luke. Enjoyed it!
Thank you my friend.
- Luke
That was me with the "fix your fear of spiders" comment! Lol I could seriously help you out with that in a very easy going non scary way. :)
Oh yeah.....gah I just don't know. haha
Errrrrrrrrrrr
-Luke
What a beautiful trail!
Someday I'll be on the AT thanks to you!
All the best,
You will absolutely love it my friend.
There is nothing else like it.
- Luke
Great video (as always Luke) thanks for sharing
Thank you very much.
- Luke
Wish I could walk this trail. I did walk a mile of it in 2003. I may get to walk a few feet/yards of it in September, when my daughter and I take a road trip.
Excellent as always. But that video equipment has to load you down a little. Your tripod looks substantial. And that ain't no GoPro! So how much of a weight hit do you take on the video gear?
