I'm a 61 year old granny, and I so enjoy watching your videos. Back in the day, I used to love to camp and ride atv's. Thank you so much for bringing to me the wildlife and camping fun to my computer screen. I do stay at home as I am disabled, but feel like I'm out in the wilderness again. Who knows, with the way the world is now, I may need to use these skills I have learned from you. Much love over the miles dear.
I find them relaxing to watch although I don’t camp and my idea of camping is a nice hotel 😂 I especially like extreme ones, deep snow, -30c but I hate the noise and feeling of walking on snow, so it’s kind of a cringe, relax relationship 😂 I make and teach jewellery making too 😁👋🏻
Back in the day I was the horse wrangler at a summer camp. One of the other counselors and I had a "one match fire" competition going. We were fairly evenly matched. The rules were simple. No artificial kindling, it had to be from the ground or trees. Half the kids were on his team and the other half on mine. One day he managed to start a fire from one that had just been put out and he found a coal. The next day it rained during the trail ride. The kids were delighted and when we stopped to cook lunch they all scattered into the forest to gather as much dry wood as they could. And we did it! We lit a fire with one match and wet wood IN THE RAIN! That was deemed more difficult than lighting it from a coal so we won LOL
I remember in my younger days in the 60s when I quit the Boy Scouts and started camping on my own. The whole family pitched in and bought me camping gear for Christmas. And I headed into the forest all by myself. It was one of the greatest adventures of my life. And the serenity was unreal. So I never really learned how to make a fire by rubbing sticks together. I did learn to appreciate a good tent. And a sterno stove. And camping in the heavy rain was divine.
So fun going on a hike or camp with you. You are that rare friend who is much more talented and accomplished, yet would never feel or act superior. Just a great person who teaches without lecturing and looks you in the eye without judgment.
Prayers for the Carolinas for the re-emergence of Ian. Nasty nasty storm. Fortunately most of my friends are in The Villages in Central FL where we recently lived. That area was pretty good unlike the SW Coast around Sanibel and Ft. Meyers and Naples. Ugh. Terrible. I know you all are prepared. Thanks for these fine videos of your adventures and your product reviews!
I’m north of the the villages just out side hog valley. We are just getting power back out here in the woods. The storm was bad but this cool weather is perfect
We always call it Alabama white sauce. We stayed with friends in Muscle Shoals, went to a huge buffet, and there was white sauce there. Our buddy told us "Oh yeah, that's Alabama white sauce. You guys really have to try some." Ok. He said they usually use it on BBQ/grilled chicken. They use it like regular BBQ sauce, but really wait until close to done before basting, so it doesn't scorch. Or, like you did with the pulled pork, add it on the plate. It was surprisingly good, esp. on the grilled chicken. Another one we had trouble wrapping our heads around until we tried it was "chocolate gravy." Over biscuits, just like you would sausage gravy, only a chocolate sauce. Very different, and nearly put us in a sugar coma.... 🤪
We also have that type of BBQ sauce here in Slovenia, EU. We prepare it at home mostly. It is made out of Thomy mayonnaise, litlle bit of vinegar made out of Grapes, Mustard,Wurtz sauce, a bit of sugar,Freshly grinded garlic and plenty of Black or White pepper and some parsley.
Hey we all make a mistake, you are so awesome, I look so forward to your videos, sometimes I go back an watch your older ones I just enjoy thems. God bless you an your love ones. ❤️ waiting for the next video
Not knocking what you did. You started a fire. You got warmth. You had a delicious meal. Mission completed! I guess there are a thousand different ways to start a fire. I've never been to the Carolinas. Believe me, it's on the bucket list. I'm from Arizona. I'm not much of a desert camper. I hit the mountains like you. I guess if I have wet dry wood,( yeah, I know), I'd start batoning, like you, but one of the more promising dryer sections, I would have kept batoning into kindling. I can't explain it, but something about a freshly split surface catches a flame easily. As I said earlier in my rambling, not knocking what you did. Just a different approach. Keep ,making videos and I'll keep watching Sir.
Kudos to the subscriber that sent you the Silky Gomboy which I recognized right away because I have a similar one. Mine is the same 240 medium teeth, however mine has plastic handles & the blade is straight instead of curved & 9.5" long. It cuts easier than any saw I've ever used & only on the pull stroke, not the push & pull strokes. I had to check your "Description" to learn what/how to get those fire starters. As a Boy Scout, we learned to make what we called "Fuzz" sticks for fire starter when wood was otherwise wet. There is always dry wood around in the wettest of conditions, you just have to know how to get to it, you did an excellent job harvesting the dry wood. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.
Nothing happens by accident ...maybe that tarp will come into better use in the future, or passing it along will be perfect for someone else. Thank you for sharing your time with us. It really is delightful and inspiring to see your travels and sharing of skills. You've enlightened me to different brands that I hadn't ever even heard of, so thank you.
As a kid, my Uncle Bill would send us kids into the woods to gather tinder and kindling. His stock admonishment was always, "Guys, if it don't snap, it's crap" and we got to cuss a little and he got a stock of dry tender! LOL
I actually love the fact it comes with a case so many times i have had similar saws that dont come with cases and they partially open or whatever and get snagged on stuff in my pack. At least it comes with one that isnt a separate expense at least for awhile.
I've tried to make do without the plastic case, but each time I changed my mind & stuck with the plastic case because I had my doubts about my alternative engineering.
Great video Luke, made me go look up that bbq sauce… apparently Alabama style white bbq sauce is made from mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. I’ll have to find some to try it.
I love the rain since a little girl im 67 and still like thanks because its like a teraphy for me and i enjoyed every second may God keep you safe 24/7
I'm stationed in Japan and of course Silky is used widely here. One of the locals that works with us on base explained that the cases are clear so the police and park rangers can see what it is. They want to make sure it's not some massive knife. Of course I was curious when I bought one, I figured it was some weird Japanese marketing thing. The blade rules are pretty strict here. Nothing larger than 3 inches can be carried on you, if you do have something larger, it has to be for a legit reason, like camping or work. Oh and lesson learned, I never dump a sauce on anything without tasting it first hahaha. I made that mistake once because of the packaging and it smelled nice. Turned out to be some kind of sour sauce. I was stuck eating that foulness or go hungry.
Assuming you are in the military, thank you for your service! From my heart 💜. My dad was a Navy man, WWII. Very smart clear case! Thanks for the explanation. Frances
Thanks for another adventure. I really enjoyed the music you chose for this video 🎶🎵. I would love to see a video of just the rain. Something relaxing with some of the beautiful scenery and the sound of rain. Something to fall asleep by. Just a thought 🤔.
I don't know why it's so satisfying watching someone set up camp and process firewood. But it is! Also, I have that little silpoly Osprey day pack. It's great! Super light and easy to toss in. Then you have an extra carrying capacity - and its mushroom season finally!
I watched a young lady from Korea and she set up a tent in the rain. She thought it was small, but she got a cot, a table, a cooking place and still had room for at least one more bed. I thought it was funny she thought it was small. Another shelter she put up was with her vehicle and it was huge and covered most of the van with a big outdoor area and windows of an acrylic material.
My family and I were introduced to Alabama White Sauce last year and we get it all the time now. Some places make their own. It's really good on smoked turkey and pretty much everything else. If you have Jim & Nick's they have their own. Keep up the fantastic videos brother!
I was out doing some stealth camping a while back and had a similar situation with the fire...except I thought I was going to pass out with all the blowing down a straw to keep it going, lol. Nothing better than the weather and the woods and a tarp.
An interesting observation... when the sun goes away the first becomes quiet. This has been noted when there is an eclipse also. I Can't believe... you got that fire started! 🔥 Perceverence 👍
The new iPhone GPS tech is a cool start, however the iPhone is NOT robust enough to tackle the outdoors. I’ve had iPhones shut down when snowshoeing because it’s too cold. I’ve had iPhones shut down when I’m trekking in the hot desert. iPhones shatter far to easily when dropped. I use a Garmin 66i with inReach, and it is a very robust tool that withstands the elements as well as clumsy people that drop things in the cold. 😬 I’ll stick with the 66i until they make a smart phone that can withstand the abuse of a rockslide in a hurricane. Love the content Luke!
I really liked your video because when things don’t work out good you seam to find solutions. If everything went right it would be real and I like that your videos are real. And thanks agin for your great videos.
Wow that was great! Its October tomorrow and its been raining all day nonstop since July 5th (South Central Alaska). Backpacking fills my entire non work life and I really appreciate all the great tips and knowledge in your videos. Thanks a bunch!
If Your son ever runs into trouble have him remember these words, Roll Tide . Thanks for the adventures. I always seem to miss the names of the pieces of gear or clothing and of course they are the ones that don't get called out in the gear and clothing lists anyway Thanks again.
Hey Luke great video can’t wait till I can get back out and do some hiking and camping these videos giving me inspiration to get healthy and get back out I am down 70lbs and I completed my first 5k walk just thank u
I've got that exact stove. Had it since about 2017. Cooked many different meals and coffee on it. My granddaughter even uses it to roast marshmallows and smores. Ita held up great. Still like new. Even the little storage bag has held up.
Just as you were setting up I was thinking why does he never use a ridge line then you say let me tell you why I don’t use a ridge-line. Boom! ATB Luke nice video.
The white sauce is from Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur Alabama. Big Bob developed it years ago and he's done passed on my favorite barbecue sauce is a thin vinegar based sauce that's pretty hot that they've had for years they sell newer sauces but not the vinegar so I've learned how to make it on my own
Luke the next time you go Hot Tent camping if you can...at bed time put 2 lumps of Coal about the size of a cantaloupe. Put them in the Stove and you will stay warm all night not having to get up to stoke the fire and you will have coals to start your fire with wood. Works for me. Thank you Jake McClellan Oregon Boy

@@kurtjensen7264 sounds wonderful! I love camping in rain!
Good Story! Thx
@@Steve-qt9ce thank you
4:32 great tip. Almost common sense, but I would have never thought of it LOL Thank you I learned something today. 🙂
So fun going on a hike or camp with you. You are that rare friend who is much more talented and accomplished, yet would never feel or act superior. Just a great person who teaches without lecturing and looks you in the eye without judgment.
That has got to be one of the nicest forest in the Eastern US. Absolutely amazing.
Silence in the woods...like snow is coming...
Love all your videos
I can't get enough of these rain and tarp adventures! We've only had how many this year? Keep 'em coming!
Agree!!
I lost count at all of them!
Hey Luke, sending you some more rain from Florida and hurricane Ian. Enjoy!
I love your comments Luke on your food tent everything I really enjoy watching a Videos

You have made a very very stressful and upsetting day a lot better. Thanks Luke. And a 24mm tarp? Comedy gold!
🇨🇦do you look at the weather and choose rain for camping? Maybe sun camping is not challenging enough? Love watching from my dry house😀
Another fantastic video. Inspiring.
Thanks for bringing us along Luke!
❤️🤘😎
Lovely smoked water for dinner again !
I enjoy your videos.
White ,, looked good
Thank you Luke for sharing,, enjoyed it all..
Love the music!
Roll tide. Alabama white sauce is the sheet. Even us Yankees in Michigan love it!
Love your folding hand saw.. got to get one... throw it in my Bug out Bag 🎒
Nothing happens by accident ...maybe that tarp will come into better use in the future, or passing it along will be perfect for someone else. Thank you for sharing your time with us. It really is delightful and inspiring to see your travels and sharing of skills. You've enlightened me to different brands that I hadn't ever even heard of, so thank you.

Brave heart highly intelligent Luke!
I always toss that clear case that comes with a silky. But as for the saw itself, nothing beats a silky.
Love, love, love the music. Found it and it’s now in my rotation. Keep up the great work!
Luke I love how you really teach as people are not near for help and I think you are only one who teaches
I love camo tarps and more of them in larger sizes please.
I actually love the fact it comes with a case so many times i have had similar saws that dont come with cases and they partially open or whatever and get snagged on stuff in my pack. At least it comes with one that isnt a separate expense at least for awhile.
I've tried to make do without the plastic case, but each time I changed my mind & stuck with the plastic case because I had my doubts about my alternative engineering.
I love my silky. Makes me feel like a Klingon warrior.
Strength and honor my friend. Stay always safe!
Good hike and camp very relaxing thanks.
Thank you luk for good dinner you made Care full ther as always enjoy your vlog from the Philippines thanks
Great video Luke, made me go look up that bbq sauce… apparently Alabama style white bbq sauce is made from mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. I’ll have to find some to try it.
Lovely green terrain 🙂
Awesome
Totally appreciate watching you process word in order to make a fire. That said. I really appreciate my sterno‘s collapsible stove even more lol
I really really wish you would start your own brand of camping gear, yes fair price good quality,we trust you
And I'm sorry I don't have money or gift for you
Sounds like you bought a pond liner. Have a great day!
Greetings from Australia
Thanks for the cappuccino shout out Luke, you're tha man. Love your content 👍
I personally love the cases Silky uses with their saws.
Thank You Luke & Susan, another awesome journey LOVE and GOD Bless You 💜💙⚘⚘ Aloha Always Sister Chrissy Honolulu Hi
Greetings from Miami. I'm here for the rainy adventure. Be safe out there Luke.
I love the rain since a little girl im 67 and still like thanks because its like a teraphy for me and i enjoyed every second may God keep you safe 24/7
My pocket bellows is one of my primary fire tools. I keep them all over. Getting wet wood going without them is substantially harder.
Pray for Florida

Really liked the filming style in the episode Luke. Thank you for all you do brother!
I enjoy you so much I could watch you having a tea party in a children's tent in the living room...lol. !!!
I can go out into the forest even if it storms from now on? GREAT news . Thanks
Another great video Luke

Watch the tightening screw set on that.Alot of folks will have their saw blade come off when they need it in a pinch and also lose the screw.

Ah yes.. the sound of rain on a tarpaulin.. I instantly know that I'm watching a TOGR video!
Luke, that saw cuts better than my chainsaw with a new blade! Great video, I always wish I were there with you
Your videos are always stunning. So beautiful and you so generously share your knowledge. It’s extremely wet here in Florida
Thanks for sharing more great tips.
BTW great choice of end music!
Well done, my friend! You have James Bond skill & knowledge, but you seem to also have Q to give you James Bond gadgets too! Fun to watch!

As Hurricane Ian hits the Carolinas, you and your family stay safe, Luke.
I love these videos, and I love reading all the rain loving comments. I thought I was the only one!

I've not seen any you tubers add a few lumps of coal to a fire, for overnight warmth.
@@azclaimjumper me either. But than again we don't see everything. Thanks for the comment.
I want to see the tarp 😂❤
Congratulations on 500,000!!!
Haha what up brother! A most excellent video
Great video, Luke. Strength and honor.
The Silky Gomboy works great.
