Now That's a Snow Storm! - Winter Storm Jonas - Multiday Adventure 

My craziest camping experience is when we were backpacking on a little peninsula of a lake, and when we woke up, there were about 20 mountain goats, babies and all with in 2 or 3 feet of us. It was crazy.

"Here at Lone Wolf Mountain no one is going to hear you scream" I think you just found the sign to keep trespassers off your property.

This is truly the best video ever!! It’s because it was a multi day camp. Need more of these please!!!

I love this guy! The more complicated the weather, the more he is motivated to go out and camp. You have my respect!

I like how you remind people not to sweat! Your very informed plus ,you may be saving lives with this information. Thank you

I love this guy, he always has a story to tell and fun to watch, why haven't I've found your video long ago. Keep the good work 👍🏼

On the Canadian/US border one of my good friends and I took our wives and kids up to a canoes only area that is world famous for it's scenery, fishing, and camping. On the night we got into the entry port, it started to rain. We decided to try to make it to the first portage and spend the night on the next lake over. By the time we were about 3/4 of the way to the portage, the wind had kicked up and we were in a driving rain and sleet storm. I had my wife and son with me, and Pete had his wife and daughter, and two sons with him. I kept watching his daughter and I noticed that she was really shaking, so I asked her if she was okay, and she said she was really cold. About 10 min later I paddled back to her and she said that she was getting warmer and had stopped shaking. In the area that we were in you can only camp on designated camp spots. I yelled at Pete that they would have to fine me or put me in jail but we were stopping to emergency camp and get everyone warm and dry. He agreed. So we went to a spot that would allow the canoes to hit shore. I got out my tent and set it up, while Pete and one of his boys got a fire going. I asked my wife and asked Pete asked his wife if they would take their daughter into the tent and lay down with her between them and snuggle up to her. We went to work cooking some food and heating some water and in about 10 min we had warm water and some hot dogs and got them to the girl. When she came out of the tent she looked 100% better. I talked with her one time about it some 15 years later and she said that she didn't realize how serious her condition was until her mom explained to her while they were warming her up. That night, rather than set up another tent, we all slept in my tent. It snowed that night, and yet we all stayed warm and got through the night. I still get a little emotional when I think about how close we were to losing his daughter. Pete said that he hadn't noticed until I brought it to his attention. So if there is a lesson here it is that everyone should take responsibility to see to it that everyone is always safe.

I remember the blizzard of 93. We were living in Candler. We lost power for about 10 days, we had a fireplace and lots of wood, about 4 cords... But all in all,we had fun.

I'm in my tent about 20 some miles in the wilderness watching the adventure now! in a blizzard, and absolutely amazing! My craziest camping story was pretty much the same as yours, but in mine it was a grizzly bear and it woke me up it was sometime at night in the AM, it was growling and roaring, Wow was I freaked out, it was hanging around for a good hour seemed like it was right next to my tent from 30yrds. What an amazing adventure Luke, and it wasn't boring at all. I'm experiencing the samethings here you mentioned, staying in the tent most of the day, sleeping. Luke, you should get snow shoes for the deep snow! -Jake

I could watch these videos all day long. You do an awesome job.

At least 5 dead, and he's camping on top of a mountain alone in the middle of the storm. What a beast this guy is.

I just want to say that your videos are very enjoyable. You are very articulate when you speak and very knowledable. You never over do it with plugs about gear and stuff. The stories you tell and the memories are very interesting. It takes a lot of guts to go out on your own as you do and we could never appreciate enough the fact that it is freezing where you are when we are nice and toasty in our homes. I would muchrather watch your videos that most of the useless stuff on TV. Take care and be well. Rob

No big deal. State of emergency called and you are out filming for a RU-vid channel. Love this guy!

That snow on the outside of your tent makes good insulation!

As kids, we were at a camp in Gatlinburg, TN. The camp counselors decided to have a Varmint Race with the winner getting $10. We had a half hour to go into the woods to find a varmint. I found a frog, my sister found a centipede and my brother snagged a salamander. It was in the 90s when the race began. We figured for sure my sister would win. Her centipede took off like a bat out of Hell and halfway through the race it stopped. Little thing fried on the pavement! My frog hopped its way to first place! Great memories!

"Not for us though. We love it." - put a smile on my face. This man knows it. Subscribed.

We really like your videos, not boring at all. You always have story’s to tell, as well as showing us the cold stormy weather all around you. Stay warm

Hey Luke, give us more adventures like that. I love your always optimistic mind, great job!

Luke loves coffee so much he could be a spokesperson for it lol. Tasters Nasty! Oh yeah!😊☕️👍

Funny story for you. So I'm out in the woods taking a crap and I start to hear a strange noise.... Sounds like someone dragging a boat threw the woods!?? Keep hearing ssscchh, ssscchhh.... Then I look up and right over me is a hot air balloon just above tree top level!!! Sneaky bastards.

searched on that tent and didn't realize I would need a mortgage for it.....Holy crap

Strength and Honor! The Hillebergs rock, no tougher tents out there! Thank you I love your videos!

We got 40+ inches at my moms house in upstate ny from the blizzard of 93. I drove home from work in my 83 Cj-7 and was hitting drifts over the hood all the way home.

Multi day and in the snow no less, awesome Luke! I definitely have spring fever. Tried to go fishing at a lake with some friends this last weekend. Road was blocked with snow, had to drive many miles to a lower river. Caught nothing but got out of town & had a great day.

Thanks for taking us along, Lone Wolf Style 😀

Caution State of Emergency..."oh, let me get my gear and get out there"..lol

Regarding the great memory from your childhood that probably started you on your way to camping, when I was a boy my uncle gave me a small army surplus rucksack with a few things in it including a mosquito tent. It was like treasure. I spent many a night in the tent looking up at the stars. That's what started me on a lifetime of camping.

First off...love to watch a grown man enjoy winter camping. I've done my share in N. Idaho and I have many great memories. But. Use a glove when you knock snow from inside the tent. Bare skin has oils that will adhere to the tent fabric and create leaks. Stay frosty!

I genuinely think this is the first time I've ever heard anyone say the words, "I love to shovel." 😁👍👌✌ Speaking of the turkey flyby and camping stories.. in the truck headed to our property for a camping trip, we're out in the middle of nowhere.. no cars in sight, flat open land on either side, when all of a sudden from nothing we hear this indescribably loud roaring rumbling sound, so loud the whole truck was vibrating along with our entire bodies, and it steadily got even louder and more violent.. we thought the friggin world was ending right then and there, a nuke was gonna land on us any moment.. After a few seconds that seemed like minutes.. through the windshield we see an instant flash of a big dark blur and shadow followed by a bright light flash come from over the cab of the truck and forward ahead of us, it seemed like it was just inches above the truck, but was probably ten feet.. It was a friggin military fighter jet! It screamed by so fast that even though it was flying incredibly low and directly in line with us, parallel with the straight road we were on, it still disappeared from eyesight in just seconds. We figure he spotted us towing our big toyhauler, the only vehicle on that road for miles and miles and decided to give us a thrill. The sound, speed and power of that jet, flying flat out literally only feet above our heads, it was truly awesome. It is something we will remember and reminisce about for the rest of our lives! 'Merica! 🇺🇸👍👌✌

Great trip Luke, I take an Anker battery, ipad mini and iphone for days when I'm 'trapped' in the tent. It saves reading the ingredients of food packaging. And, like you, I use Hilleberg in the snow, cannot beat those tents man. Thanks for taking us along.

I love all your adventures Luke. You and Susie are so likeable

I was in NC in 81 and the cars all stopped when an inch of snow fell, highway gridlock. I pulled into the median and drove on. 😉

Hello from Prince Edward Island, Canada. Luke, I have the Fenix HP30. It has a separate compartment for two LR18650's and it has a USB charging port as well. This looked like quite the trip. Three days in a snowstorm. I'm catching up with the videos. I particularly like the winter ones. Two winter's ago we set a record with 565cms of snow (222 inches). One storm brought us 91 cms (35 inches). I live in a log home on the north shore and heat with wood, so I was ready

Gotta love the Hilleberg tents. I use a Saivo. I also use a Western Mountaineering Bison -40 down bag. Camped just the other night in -25 degrees and stayed toasty warm.

Very vivid portrait of your long time-out in the forest. Will watch this one again (and again). Thanks!

That's when a good book comes in really handy 👍

favorite survival videos on RU-vid keep up the good work man. your videos make me want to go out and camp with my friends

Great video Luke! Very well thought information and tipps! Cheers, Marc

The very first of your videos I saw was the one where you made this bushcraft shelter under this rock and had the fire there. I was in awe that you could build a shelter and keep dry and warm - because it was cold and I think rainy that trip. I am not addicted to your videos and the outdoors. I prefer to watch these videos than watch TV.

24" over a few days and state of emergency? Oh you southerners. Up here we get that overnight, shovel out and drive to work without thinking twice, just our way of life. Unfortunately this winter was quite mild, not much snow. I do enjoy winter hiking. Another amazing video. Thank you Luke.

Loved the video as usual looking forward to your next one:)

One of the best video from you...I liked this one alot!

I love watching your adventures.They always make me want to get out there and hike

I love that kind of snow as long as I was in a nice warm place and didn’t have anywhere to go. From a born and raised Michigan lady transplanted to Tennessee since 1982.

Awesome vid, welldone on geting through the 3 days, subed, love it.

This is a great video. I really enjoyed it! thank you!

In 1973 Morehead City to Cherry Point MCAS got a lot of snow. My Squadron was the only Squadron working. We took an EA-6A and a RF-4B and pulled them into the hanger and fired them up to blow the huge chucks of snow off the flight line and taxi way. A couple times we had over 10 foot chunks of snow blow up in the air. We had a truck hooked to the nose gear to keep the planes from moving forward as we backed them up. Another time in 1967 I was out at Philmont Scout Ranch and had a cub bear tear my sleeping bag up while mom broke into our bear bag. The Chipmunks and a Badger took the food bag down so the bear could pick and choose what she wanted. Than the others got their turn.

Memories of me and my dad.. yes you brought them. We always camped during deer season in Maine. 1 week in the woods. Was a blast, I do miss him now. Thank you for the vid.

Awesome video bud, love the mulitday style, please make more in the future :D

Amazing! That was one hell of a great video. Cheers Luke.

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this vid!! Thanks for daring to go out in the storm!!

1967 Philmont Boy Scout Camp, NM. 12 days of camping and hiking. About the 6th day a Bear, with cubs along with Chipmunks and a Badger took down our food out of between 2 trees and tried to eat all of our food. I had something huge come into my tent and shredded the bottom of my sleeping bag. We had to eat off the land for 2 days until we got to our outpost to get more food. Showers stunk like rotten eggs. But it was great.

love the way you overlayed your logo on the moon

I love how we are watching this and it was 80 here in the Piedmont today 😂😂

Great trip Luke. Thanks for showing us how to weather the storm!

Hello Luke, you are truly a man for all seasons. This was definitely a two thumbs up video. With all the gear that you have on this trip you are prepared for the zombie apocalypse in Antarctica. A big thank you for sharing vital, need to know, information for surviving in the winter wilderness. All the best to you Susie and your family. 🤗

I was camping, bivvy bag, next to a local beach on the grass, when I woke up and directly hovering above my feet was a Barn Owl. I guess my feet were moving and he though it was food, luckily it hadn't gone for the kill, might have done some damage. I shone my torch on it and it turned and majestically flew off. A beautiful experience.

You're a beast! Nice job.

Im a middle aged disabled grandmother and i would of thought this subject would be the last thing that would interest me but for some nutty reason i cant get enough. This guy is brilliant. I just love his videos when hes camping in the snow and ice.. I have watched the video where he somehow got a very old wood burning stove to a ram shackled looking very old shed full of holes.. ive watched it over and over. I cant help laughing at his fear of spiders. I never knew that heating an area up made critters rain down on you.. worst nightmare or what.. love your videos.. if you can keep them coming that would be great.. You entertain me and i love your style. You have taught me a lot. Wont help me but your info may help my younger family at some point. We as a family have camped a lot but not extreme camping. Love it Luke keep up the good work thank you.

finally an adventure! i love them so much! here we never get alot of snow in one storm, we get like maybe 3-4 20-30 cm storms (a foot) and maybe 10 5cm storms

Awesome vid brother! Love love love these videos! Thank you so much for the time and dedication you put into making these for us. So much valuable information. Would love if you made a vid about animal safety...you know like info about backpacking in bear country with food in your pack. I know you hang your food but what about the pack? Can't the Bears still smell the residual Odors in the pack still? Also for bivy camping or tarp camping, how do you sleep without snakes cuddling up next to you?? Thanks again brother. Strength and honor.

This is your best production yet, in my opinion, Luke. It sure had me riveted. Too bad you didn't complete the story, though, I hope to see another multiday excursion in heavy snow (only for safety don't plunge too deeply into the wilderness). And make it a two-hour job. I much prefer your work to the swill that gushes out of Hollywood.

Thanks for sharing this video with us.

I found while deer hunting on a drive in the snow that it was easy to overheat. I would open my jacket and lift and roll my tee shirt and shirt up to my chest and allow the moisture to evaporate. I would do this before they got wet. Back then all I had was cotton tees but I believe now that a Gildan poly tee would be better at wicking moisture away. I know they feel warmer. When I finished the drive, I would cool off and tuck my shirt back in before I got cold. I would also take my wool hat off and put on a light ventilated baseball camp to hike in so moisture would not build up. Sometimes I might wear just a ski band to cover my ears. I would also carry a packable down vest in my pocket if I needed more warmth or the temperature dropped while away from camp. I also learned that if my baseball hat got wet from a cold almost freezing rain, I needed to get back to camp. This was just before gore-tex thinsulate hats became popular.

Thanks so much for the video.

love your video. It taught me some flaws in my winter pepperiness

Flippin love the snow. Can't wait to take my daughter on some camping adventures and build some awesome memories.

First lesson, don't let friends that's moving borrow your favorite snow shovel, must have been a good friend, ya know, to return it and all, I do appreciate you calling him out on it, maybe he'll return it through the mail

In Wyoming, your blizzard of 93 would have been called "Saturday"

I hate when people borrow my stuff. Good video.

Awesome trip! Thanks for sharing it with us :)

I was hiking during a cold snap in the Charles C. Deam wilderness area several years ago. my clothes consisted of a set of thermal pants and shirt, a shirt over that from under armor, and a waterproof rain jacket. I was sweating so much that I opened my rain jacket for half our intervals to cool off. It was a fun hike.

Next time you go out in deep snow (I'm from Michigan and snow like that is not unusual) you might think about a pair of snowshoes; it makes snow much easier to deal with, and you sweat less because you aren't postholing when you walk. I use MSR Lightning Ascents, but any decent brand name would be a huge improvement.

Great video! Do a camping in a rain storm video sometime :) Rain on a tent is one of favorite things ever

Thanks for taking the time and energy to record your trip. I love camping but in Northern Ontario it's a three season activity at best.

I love outdoors any times of the year love your gears too, thank you. so pretty there.

i hope to god coffee doesent put hair on your face lol i drink it all the time,great vid

wow, so envious of camping in that weather. We set a record of lowest amount of snow in 50 years. How do you get such deals on ebay? Do you search at 3-4am in the morning?

Omg Hillberg are proud of the products they have. Wow!

Wisconsin girl here - we spent a good amount of time in the north woods while I was growing up - any tree that is downed, horizonal and within behind range makes a perfect toilet seat! We used to make great sport of finding the perfect perch lol Also, the snow is as terrible aa it is gorgeous - and filming on top of it all? Pfft you are indeed sir a beast!

Enjoyed this. What was the weight of your rucksack? Loved the deck and stars memory.

Uhhh... Actually it is freezing!!! Like your vids!!! Keep it up!!!!

I enjoy your adventures and reviews. Thank you for motivating me to allow myself to get back into the outdoors. I got married and its been far too long since my last overnight in the wilderness- more than 6 years ago. This is the year that it begins again. Thanks again Luke~

here in Scotland we are always having a cold winter and I was hoping to do my first snow camp. but none came lol. this looked great apart from the rain. good video. I've been awake for 2 hours and its 6am, this is soothing me over. thanks for sharing

Best video yet thanks a lot Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪

You need some snow shoes for trips like this.

Can you believe how hard this guy works for this chanel ? Luke You and The Beautiful Susan are the best. Peace & be safe...

Thanks for the adventure Luke. I just got a big smart UHD tv and your vids look awesome on it!

I just got a Samsung Gear VR and love love VR 360 videos. There are a ton on YT. Have you looked into filming some things in 360? The Gear 360 is coming out later this year and it seems to allow 360 recording pretty easily. Les Stroud has a few 360 videos on YT that you should check out. You can view them on your phone and pan around. Pretty cool stuff and some of your adventures would be awesome to be immersed in 360

I love his claims that the winds are blowing 40-45mph and when he pans to the trees they are barely swaying and not a leaf is blowing. Lol

Awesome video! I appreciate all the advice. I really liked the honesty about being confined to the tent. No one ever talks about that.

I have two sons just like your dad. I bring them on adventures in the woods all the time. I hope they look back on these adventures with as much affection as you do.

you need to do a campout with joe robinet!!!!

why didn't you bring snow shoes? up here in canada, we wouldn't go out in that without snow shoes or cross country skies if we are going camping in the woods.

Tough conditions out there Luke! I can't get below 30 degrees without whining. I appreciate all the effort that goes into capturing and sharing your adventures with us. It's always fun to watch. Thanks

Well done as usual. I appreciate the time and effort yo put into your work! :)

Why not set up your tent inside the wooden shed?

Freezer burned sphincter!

Your story at 7:12 is the reason I carry a bug-out bag in my car. I made one for my son as well. Its the bag I hope we never need. Luke I also keep some Mountain House food & coffee. You never know...

My favorite Overnight Adventure so far. Thanks for sharing all the great videos always enjoy them.
