Bear Encounter! - Out on Foot - Overnight Adventure 

Once again these videos are worth every minute watched. Look forward for more.

Okay, First you passed a hiker who was kind of a zombie. Then hiked into spider webs, where no one has passed recently. Then heard a voice. Sounds a bit haunted. Thanks for sharing

I love your videos dude. I found your videos when I was 12 while home sick with the flu, but now I am 20 and have been a long time fan. I started to actually go camping recently (I don't usually go hiking but I will go drive my truck as far as I and then set up camp there) But you have been a huge inspiration to me and I wanted to say thanks.

I am a school teacher and I see first hand the problems drugs cause every day. Thanks for your message for young and old.

"luke warm, just my temperature." - very funny!

May he rest in peace and may the good Lord keep him and bless his Family .

An eastern box turtle 🐢....great animals and pets!

Luke, a couple of things. Bee Stings. Carry some of those Benadryl Strips along with your Epi-Pen. They help and work quickly. (I know from personal experience.) Food. Try carrying some Knorr Sides as well as Hard Sausage. Cook the sides and shave the Sausage into it. I eat this quite often while hiking and it works well. (You can add some freeze dried Veggies as well.) (Hey I'm German and old school.) My favorite cool weather jacket set up is a Bundeswehr Gore Tex Parka with a Fleece Jacket. It's waterproof as well as windproof and warm enough for Fall and early Winter. Sleeping Arrangements. I always carry a Wool Blanket to toss on top of my Sleeping Bag. It helps keep me warm at night and it is comfortable int he morning around the fire. It also doesn't weight that much. (Yes I carry an Air Mattress, as does my Wife. We allow that weight because of the comfort.) That shelter would be great during a Winter storm. I would love it. Cat

That was really great that you put out a alert for the missing person. You really care. Got to love a person like you Luke. All the best!!

Beautiful Turtle!!!! What many don't know is.. ..THE TURTLES SHELL...IS THEIR SKIN!!! THEY FEEL THRU THAT SHELL. .LIKE YOU FEEL THRU YOUR SKIN!!!!!

I made a choice back in high school do I want to fit in with my friends and do drugs and smoke weed or not and I choose to be high on life and adventure and am proud I made that decision. I have never taken drugs in my life. I don't even take aspirin. You miss out on everything when on drugs ! Great videos and really enjoy them. Thanks !

Gotta love those face-level spider webs; It's like winning the worst race in the world.

Nothing better than camping in the mountains

I think this was my favourite video of yours to date. It had everything. And I totally agree with you - when I’m out in the bush I’d much rather see no human beings. A great video mate and I really appreciate what you do.

I remember, back in the summer of 1978, I was only 10 years old. My older brother and i use to go out regularly on trail excursions, as part of our daily exercise, in the country forests, during our summer school vacations, in the northern Laurentian mountain regions, in Quebec. One day, my brother decided to make a cross-country skiing trail and as we started clearing the branches, on our path, we both stumbled into a huge bee hives nest. Hence! we both got literally stung by 40 bees, in one shot all at once, leaving us with about twenty sting marks each, all over our backs. Needless to say that we were both pretty well lucky, at the time. Otherwise, we might’ve been just dead, by now. Lol! Johnny, Montréal, Canada!

I'm out in that area. I'm actually training with a Search and Rescue team that specializes in and is very active in Yosemite.

Your mother will be so much better now. It takes time to heal.

Most pancake recipes call for, perhaps 2-3 tbsp. melted butter or oil mixed into the batter, with a spray of pam in the pan, that is all.

Luke I've got to say you really do an amazing job of capturing your adventures and sharing your experiences with everyone, truly inspiring, thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

God I love coming back to these older vids. The stories, the gear, by far my fav yt chan

so many of hiker are missing in Yosemite every year that it is the number 2 place of all the national parks in the US . the weird part is most are never found with no trace . in joy

True statement @10:12. What you do is important. I've enjoyed watching many of your videos and trying to catch up on some of the older ones. I'm 67yo and have done a fair amount of outdoor adventuring but I'm still learning. Thanks for letting me tag along on your adventures!

I agree RIP to the three backpackers. Luke thanks a lot for this Vid this was the best Vid I have seen in a long time. The quality the content everything I felt like I was there. Again great job and thanks

I appreciate the mention of those lost. We are all one outdoors family and any loss is a tragic one.

This is probably the clearest, most crisp video I have ever seen on youtube. Excellent.

Great hike. Thanks for taking us along.

Your hiking and overnight videos are just awesome i love the stories and you're really down to earth to notice the weird hikers and oddities the forest offers good shit sorry for the language lol.....

Thanks for the memories Luke - I come back again and again because i cannot hike with my job.I miss nature.

Much respect for your dedication to fallen backpackers. Love your videos man. Inspirational

Your a great dad buddy so you will be what every good dad will do for his kids… what ever needs to be done… its obvious you love them both and with honesty and care you set the record straight for both of them… i commend your actions

Very nice video, especially with the pancakes. :))) Thank you, Luke!

I think the guy who disappeared met the strange guy you crossed

Great trip Luke, it made me laugh when you said you had no cell phone signal and we heard two subsequent iPhone "dings". That's how it goes sometimes 😀📱

The bear was like : " - Human ! Human ! run run !! " Great hike Luke, :D

So funny, I love meeting oncoming folks on the trail for exactly the reason you mentioned. Spider webs. LOL

Luke, thank you for doing the reviews and letting us watch you and you family on these hiking trips. Me and my wife live in Maryville, Tn., and hike every minute we get a chance in the smokies and we love to watch y'all when we're not and seeing how much you love to be out in nature as we do! Great job and hope to maybe see you on a trail one day.

Another fantastic video. Thanks, Luke!

Luke Thank You for all the videos and time. That You take to talk and explain things as You go. Your videos really keep my mind on good things. I wanted to wish Your Mom a very speedy recovery and to You a very big Thank You for eveything You do.

That was a lot of fun. Thanks

There was a missing hikers remains found here in Yukon Territory Kluane National Park earlier this summer in July, very sad to hear about. When im out backpacking an camping, i love watching wilderness survival movies, like The Grey, my favorite movie, or i watch old TOGR adventure videos :) I'm glad The Yukon is too cold for snakes to live, one less thing to worry about lol, there still wolves, lynx, and bears. -Jake

I most agree with you this trip looks so awesome! At night it going to be freezing, but I think you're pretty cover. Thank you Luke for such of nice hike. I Hope your mom gets well soon!!!

respect to u my friend you are a good man and a good dad, atb. Shaun

Thats big surgery 🙏 my mother had same few years ago . Strength and honor

RIP to the 3 Backpackers...

Awesome adventure, like the sign said it's "THE BOMB". Loads of beautiful country. kind'a wondering went through the bears mind...LOL. Prayers out to your mom and your family. Thanks for sharing Luke. atb Opal

I had a little laugh, when you yelled at the bear... He growled back at you as if he was back talking you... He said.. "Kiss my black furry butt" lol

Ty Luke I had fun and I know I won't be able to see the path , but I feel like I saw it myself ty again.

I Just saw this again, and it made me wanna watch unforgiven.... So i did. :-) Sadly Clint gave up his Westerns after it.

Luke in 2015: Times are getting so much tougher... 2020s: Here, hold my beer...

That stranger on the trail was probably stoned lol.

I'm with you, I can't stand spiders! But snakes don't bother me! : )

I got new's for you Luke and susan. I only listen to you too.. When camping ..

Wasps, ghosts, and bears; oh my! Zero reception in the woods is what I prefer. Nice trip Luke.

Great adventure Luke ! Thanks for sharing William

Wonderful, Luke. Just wonderful!

My daughter saw a tortoise in the road about a year ago and she yelled “STOP!” I stopped and got out to move the lil guy. He turned out to be a three legged she amputee and has lived with us for over a year. We call her tri-pod and she drinks water from a dog dish. When we rescued her from the road and noticed her missing leg and seemingly recent amputation we took her to the vet who told us she wouldn’t make it in the wild. We couldn’t leave her there with the doomsday doc so we adopted the lil three legged gal who is now part of the family. She’s happy and everyone just loves her. Have fun out there and watch the weirdos, docs included!

Great vid to watch after long day at work and fighting traffic to get home. thanks for taking me along, it's just what i needed...keep up the awesome work...

Hugs to your mom and Susan!!

awesome adventure bud. That bear was wicked

Heh! That bear had something to say too :)

I want to extend my deepest appreciation to you for the advice you gave to the youngsters about being careful dealing with drugs, unfortunately your cousin ruined his life and I feel really bad for him, hopefully he can straightened his life soon... For me being a Scout Leader I highly recommend all the youngsters from my group watch all your videos... Be careful on the woods, especially with bears and snakes, may God and the Holy Spirit always be with you... Strength and honor to you!!!... :)

Terrapin? Looks like the Box turtles we used to catch all the time. Love the videos!!

beautiful country Luke:) thanks for posting and I laughed my ass off when you told story about grandpa's pancakes:):) made my day! I like your attitude Luke. Keep up your positive and great outlook on life:) strength and honor my friend:) be well.

Awesome vid! I miss hiking. Thanks for sharing this. Made me feel alive again!

Strength and honor back to you, good sir! I've said it before but will say again that I love your videos...your positive vibe is awesome, and you always seem to have a great time.

I I feel your & your brother's pain, I was an alcoholic first, starting at age 13 & then sniffed paint thinners, smoked a bit of weed all the while my alcoholism was getting worse & worse, I was getting in trouble a lot, first at school, then with jobs, police of course, I am from the UK & after getting fired from a few jobs in a row for alcohol related naughtiness I thought I would move to the US & ended up in Key West where for the next few years I became addicted to cocaine & my alcoholism was way out of control but thanks to NA & AA I am now almost 16 years clean & sober, so there is still a chance for your brother, thanks for your great videos Like, keep on doing what you're doing.

Awesome video Luke, great adventure, looked like you had a great time. Lots of talked interesting topics you talked about. Hope your mom gets back to good health. Strength and Honor brother.

Great video - not until it ended did I realise it was almost an hour long... always great to see people enjoying getting out and soaking in the wilderness.

Another great video my friend!! I've shared this channel with so many and even have people in scout troop watching them. You are truly a inspiration. Hike On My Friend!!

Sorry to hear about your cousin. Hope he finds his way. Hopefully he can learn to find solace and peace in nature too.

Nice Adventure always fun to watch your vids, Thanks

Awesome vid as usual Luke and great advice for the younger generation who might think drugs are cool, a healthy outdoor lifestyle is cool, walking through the wood, mountains, beaches etc is cool. The only thing I see wild camping in the Lake district is sheep, sheep and more sheep. Keep up the good work bro, Strength and Honour.

Hands down Your videos are simply awesome! Always educational and entertaining

I go hiking by myself and I take my hatchet and a full tang knife on my belt all the time, you have to make some type mark trail, construction tape works great and a sharpie. Awesome show thank you.

Great hike Luke! From an Firefighter/Ambulance Jockey, I would get my doc to prescribe an EPI-pen to put in the first aid kit, and a small 2 oz. bottle of Benadryl. Could save your life in the backcountry, anaphylactic shock happens fast and then you're screwed. It gets worse with every sting til one day it locks down your repertory system....bad times!love the videos,Brett

If you had stickers or some gear like that you could leave it in the Cabin Log book as well and that would be a cool surprise for the next guest.

Thank you for posting this. Good job! Compliments!

I watch every video you make one day I watched all 12 hours in a row

Some people dont want to be found. "...I took a drive and I never went back"

Terrific adventure Luke. That bear was impressive, the speed in which it came down the tree was jaw dropping. Very cool that you take the time for the positive message, I'm sorry about your cousin, it seems that we all have somebody like that in our lives. Thanks for bringing us along man. -Jacko

Amazing, as usual. My son and I really enjoyed this.

Hello Luke, love all your videos I try to remember hit like on all of them. That being said why would anyone go outa of the way to dislike your videos. It blows my mind! WOW!

Another great vid Luke, thanks for posting!

It's a very good thing Luke films all his hikes etc. Sasquatch can mimic human voices better than we can. Too many Hikers disappearing, & 3 hikers found passed.... ?? Keep your camera rolling, it's the reason they don't get too close. Stay safe Luke. [ Carry a small bible, any problems whip it out}

I have enjoyed walking along with you 😊 I love ❤️ it!! Kudos my friend

it's 10.24.19 my wife and I just got back from Yosemite, we went there for 30th wedding university for 5 days. we stayed at the Ahwahnee Hotel beautiful hotel looks like it's made of all wood from that area, BUT it's made of all cement that is made of wood. my went hiking one way every day and I went another way. she went the way of all the trails to all of the of sites, and I went off the beaten trails . you and Susie need to come out here and hike some day but try to do it when all the kit are back in school. it's so much more nicer.in joy

About the voice you heard. I have heard that Crows can imitate sounds that they heard.

I wanna see u and Suzie cook a real meal while camping... On camp fire 🔥 love ur videos

hi i started watching your video andi was a nurse and a single motjer unfortunately i suffered sudden stroke im recovering now really difficy;t one day and it changes your life anyway one night came across your video with one of my good eye cuz of stroke and i got hook you sir and your wife make my nights livable english is not my first language sorry for the grammar just want to let you know really appreciarw your sgows please dont stop especially sorms blizzaed snakes bears love it thank you so much

Luke, thanks for another truly inspirational great overnight adventure! now you've really got me jonesing for a fall overnight Adventure myself thanks for the great videos!

hey bro I love how calm you were most people would have freaked out new nickname the bear whisperer

my favorite western is "outlaw josey wales" best clint eastwood movie ever imho.

Awesome adventure man! thanks for sharing 😉

All my sincere condolences, for the family of Timothy who was found dead. When you said that if you had to die out in the woods, that this would be the last resort or the element you’d like to leave this world from, i surely hope that this will never happen to you, or at least not under bad circumstances, cause it would be such a big loss, for all of us, as well as for your family. So by all means, please be safe and don’t be such a big hero. Use a starter blank gun, or a bear repellent, to scare them off. We all love you, Luke! Johnny, Montréal, Canada!👍🙏😁

awesome overnighter Luke and the bear encounter was really cool.

Thanks for this one. We also have some sayings: Still only one kilometer left (again and again..), It is not the distance that kills but the speed.

really enjoyed that, great watching, amazing bear great to get it on camera. i think you might be the happiest hiker ever :)

Hey Luke. That adventure was so amazing and awesome. Looks like you also ran into an area with a supernatural portal of some kind, that would explain why you heard that voice of a lady... Let's be honest, No lady would be out there in the middle of nowhere, unless she was lost somewhere deeper in the wilderness and crying out for help. But you were fearless as usual..So cheers! my friend cheers! So enjoyed this video.👍 I'm catching up on your past videos, Since I am a new subcriber to your channel. Cheers!

Glad to see your still using the optimus crux cook stove. After a couple of your reviews( I think maybe some of the first ones). I bought my Terra weekender cook set and love it!!!!

See...maybe thats why the older guy was acting strange if you heard a voice im sure he did too. And he freaked out. Yes theres paranormal in mountains too.
