Real Bushcraft! - The Bushcraft Overnight Adventure II 

Hi Luke, I'm a fairly new subscriber and have been going back watching all your videos. Huge fan of the detail and thought you put into your videos, the editing is spot on! I am a subscriber to a hand full of people from the "Gauntlet" and a few other gear review channels and you are definitely one of the better channels out there. You can really tell you have a passion and love what you do. Keep the videos coming.

I was out in the woods hiking and camping alone when it just started to done pore. It was like that for a good 2 maybe 3 hours, then it stopped, that birds came out chirping and a huge rainbow shot right across the sky! And I will never forget that one moment. Also, you inspired me to do everything that I do today, so thank you and keep up the good work.

Great vid! I hope you keep adding to this series! I think I'd like to pick Lincoln's brain whilst camping, or maybe even current world leaders. I also game sparingly (for similar reasons) but I think the new FF7 might be a "game changer". I'm debating if I'm going to upgrade to the PS4 or Xbox One soon. Loved the way you made this vid, you ever think about doing one of those survivor shows like "Alone"?

nice hearing you talk about your dad. my parents would of been married 64 years in october. dad passed away a few weeks ago from terminal cancer. he was 84 years old. hard working tractor mechanic for massey ferguson. farmer. christian man. i grew up in a church very similar to amish. i am not that way now but i do keep close to the fold. but i am a bushcrafter. adventure guy. etc. i live i the mt hood national forest in oregon. just saying hello. fun adventure. keep up the good work. i make adventure videos also. peace.

Loved that you had a beer!! You have great videos!! If only you could camp so much more often and give us more videos!

My last overnight adventure, was a hike along the east coast of ireland between Wicklow and greystones. I went with a big group of my friends and we stayed up all night round our campfire on the beach until the sun rose. It was awesome.

Luke I never knew that you was in a wreck similar to mine. Around January of this year me and 4 other friends was driving and the steering locked up and the brakes went out. And there was a sharp turn right and we went straight off the cliff, the police officers said we went over 100ft in the air to where we landed we went inbetween every tree on the way down, I suffered the worst injury I fractured both bones at the end of my elbow. I will never forget that feeling of weightlessness. I also live in nc in the burke county area. I wish I could post pictures of the place we went off in this comment section. Thank you for all the amazing content -Wade

I ate baked beans for breakfast while watching this video. Thanks for another great video. I really enjoy the overnight adventures.

This last weekend I went to my bestfriends graduation party. We camped out about a mile away from his house at this natural pond. Since I'm heavy into survival and bushcraft, I slept under a tarp, and was the one to get the fire started since they couldn't figure it out. It was a lot of fun and in the morning I caught a small fish from the pond and had breakfast. It was really fun.

I just recently found your channel and I am so glad that I did. This evening I have watched at least 4 of your overnight trips and I have thoroughly enjoyed them all. You should seriously have your own show and sincerely mean that. Thanks for doing what you do and keep it up. All the best to you and your family...Jason

I'd love to camp with someone called Luke from The Outdoor Gear Review, perhaps you know him? He's such a selfless gentleman, amazes people with campfire stories and has enough wisdom that knows no bounds. He's un-excelled in fathering, has the best morals of most people alive today and enjoys life outdoors the way it should be.

Thanks for sharing your mountain Luke! My last trip I did a 9 mile hike across the top of a mesa and sat under a natural arch to watch a thunderstorm. Nothing like a cold brew on a hot day.

Hey Luke one history person I would love to spend time camping is my grandfather. Oh my gosh he was a cattle rancher from Texas and he told us brothers all the adventures he had when he was a young guy. God bless him. He lived to be 90 and had a great life I miss him a lot

Dude I love your videos! Keep doing what you're doing man it's awesome!

Hey Luke, great video! I just got back from a 7 day solo whitewater canoe trip in Quebec with my dog Ichy. We had a blast...heard wolves howling during a full moon! Your overnight adventure videos are awesome! I really enjoy how positive you are :). Bunk

My entire family loves camping, and when we can't make it out to the woods for the weekend, my daughter gets a kick out of watching you build "forts." We'll watch one of your adventures and then she'll run off to get a blanket and pillow to try building your shelter in our living room. Already can't wait for the next adventure!

Great video Luke. Loved the scenes. To keep it short. Knife, Buck Sheath Knife. Camp with. My Father Swiss Volcano Stove. You can burn wood in it, it does work. It also works with hot Coals, Solid Fuel Tablets and a Trangia Burner. (Yes I have one.) A hint when using wood in it, use a twig to lift the cup just a bit and the wood will burn better. 90°F is hot,and I live in Southern Florida.

Great adventure Luke, just getting ready myself to hit the hills, frost and snow forecasted, hopefully get some good pictures of the snow over the hills. Mark.

Luke…I watched this video and I want to Thank You so much for posting it. Wow. You packed so much into it. Great job! Have a day full of wonder today. I’m still watching Your past videos…so many are new to Me. I hope You enjoyed the full moon.🌝🙂👍🏻

You actually I’ve learned more watching you then I did in scouts and a lot of refreshers. Keep the videos coming 🔥

Interesting fact about falling trees at the AT. Thank you Luke for shearing the information. Out...

Great little adventure Luke. Gorgeous piece of land. Great to see you enjoying it, I'd love to have something like that one day. Good job with the shelter too. I enjoyed this vide very much. -Jacko

How are you doing Luke? First time posting by the way. I have been watching your videos for a while now. I have previous military experience, and I can tell the professionalism and knowledge presented on each video. You inspire many of us to go and experience the outdoors with our spouses and/or by our self. My wife actually was the one introducing your videos. She also likes hiking. Keep doing what you're doing Luke!!!. I like what you're bringing on all your videos. In other note: I also just had a spinal-column surgery and just waiting for recovery to begging hiking again around the U.S. and others countries as well. You take care now. Out. God bless you and your family!

Great video as usual, if I could camp with a historic person it would be Daniel Boone.

You hit the nail on the head there luke. It was 110 here yesterday and last Saturday. Do you mind telling me what editing software you use? If I could go camping with one historical figure it would be Doc Holiday. I bet he had some good stories to tell around the campfire. I just got a new computer and want something better than Movie Maker now.

Another great adventure Luke hoping for the heat to hit the UK next week, out for the night tomorrow evening I've got a few bits of new kit to try.ATB knobby..

Hey Luke, that bumble bee tuna packet you used, its great just rolled up in a flour tortilla for lunch... Your camp looks awesome, great job.. Jim

Great video. I think if I could camp with anyone it would be Les Stroud. I know he's not a great person in history. But, he has a ton of outdoor knowledge and even though I do my own thing when I'm outdoors. I always love to learn other peoples ways of doing things. That's also what I like about your videos. You do a lot of different things. Some I add to my own tricks and some not so much, lol. Haha I also, got the Spyderco Bushcraft UK. But, didn't use it because of how much it cost. Right now, I use the Mora Bushcraft for small tasks. The Mora/LMF in stainless steel for food prep and some fishing. And, Ontario Rat 7, just in case the others break or for some light batoning for a small personal fire (I mostly cook with an alcohol stove though). The reason I went with the Rat 7 over a small axe is because, I was raised with "you have to have an axe with you whenever you go into the woods", so it kind of lost its appeal for now.

Awesome adventure luke!! Two people id absolutely love to camp with .... FDR and jedediah smith, iconic men who loved the outdoors as much as us all.

Saludos Luke. Great camping setting. Well planned. If I have the chance to backpack again would be with my dad and with Nessmuk. I would love to join them in a canoeing adventure. For custom knives maker, I would highly recommend Mr. William Collins ( WC knives ). This individual is knowledgeable and humble. I'm awaiting for the so call Possum knife. Continuaremos... Gracias!

One heck of a great video Luke. I was looking for something to watch while I called it a day and I ended up watching on through till the end. Nice place you have there, thank you for sharing.

really cool stuff Luke!! I also do not watch tv, enjoy camping in stormy weather but i dont spend nights because im still lacking some gear such as a sleeping bag and a proper tarp, i have a cheap blue walmart tarp but its great to spend an entire day out under the rain. your videos have really inspired me to get out more and i thank you for that particularly for that positive outlook on life in general. be safe, im looking forward to seeing your next adventure! :)

Hi, Luke. I always enjoy watching your videos. I got a pair of Vasque Juxt shoes, and I haven't taken them out hiking but I really like them so far. I call them my "retirement shoes". If I work hard, I should be able to retire in about 3 years. I'm looking forward to having time to go hiking, fishing, camping, target shooting, hunting, and I might even try kayaking. My retirement plans are to spend the summers in Alaska, and have a home somewhere in the South (been looking at Kentucky & Tennessee mostly) for the rest of the year. Speaking of E3, breakout your Pipboy - Fallout 4 is coming in November 2015! And the person that I would want to camp out with the most would probably be my great-great grandfather JW. In Texas , JW held off a group of Kiowas Indians with a muzzle-loader so that his sons could escape. JW survived the attack and lived into his 80's. JW definitely had guts. Keep up the good work!

Last adventure was a quick overnight with my 17-year-old daughter. Pretty rugged trail. Got our water from the lake the trail was next to. Used water purification tablets and put a piece of bandana across the mouth of my water bottle to filter out the floaties. Made me realize I'm WAY out of shape. :)

My dad used to call that heat lightening, when it would just jump from cloud to cloud.Especially if it did not rain. I liked the pictures of ears the best haha thanx

Hey Luke, I like your axe, Swedish and possibly Wetterlings? Good stuff! Anything above °C 14 degrees is summer over here ;) Take care. S&H /Sebastian

I have the same SAS Basha, and it is awesome :) It offers lots of configurations and options - can be used as a carryweight, or a hammock. It has lots of metal rings as attachment points and can be folded in half. I use it as a tarp for my hammock, but pitched it sideways diagonally. It is not very lightweight, but what military thing is? :) The only downside with it is that it is small. You have to pitch it really low to get quality protection. Especially if you have rain with side wind.

I like the A-frame, and idea of an old mtn tent i bought back in early 1970's , one guy line front on rear line... very stable ...

Hello my name is Tony and I also grew up in the mountains like you. I am originally from a small town in east TN. You should go visit and hike some trails in the Big South Fork National Park. That was literally my backyard and I miss it dearly. Also I love your RU-vid channel. It reminds me of back home.

Great video. Looks like the kind of camping we do up here. You've got yourself a beautiful piece of land there. My last adventure was my knee destruction trip, so my next one will be September. I have to get over the fear. I'd camp with my grandpa, as cliche as that is, because I never got to. Being a Michigan guy, my go to knife is always a Bark River. I can beat the hell out of it and send it for a free spa treatment a anytime. Pricey but well worth it. Thanks again for doing what you do.

I'd love to camp with Sir David Attenborough and I use that exact same knife and I love it! :)

Fav beer your drinking Luke! My wife's as well. I actually live in the stomping grounds of Daniel Boone and would love to camp with him. He was integral in finding a way for pioneers and settlers to cross the mountains of VA and KY. Would love to see his skills and pick his brain.

I remember you talking about movies, and you once said you liked silver bullet, one of my favourites. I just wondered if you have ever heard dogman encounters radio on RU-vid ? They have shows every Friday where the guy has a witness call in and tell of his dogman (werewolf) sighting. Not sure if you had an interest in werewolves, or just liked the movie. But if I ever listened to any of those episodes while out camping, that would sure keep me up all night lol. Thanks for the great video Luke, take care.

I'm a newcomer to the channel and i have to say i really enjoyed this video! Keep them coming!

Hey Luke awesome Bushcraft overnighter, nice shelter setup, keeping it simple. I dont really know who from history i would want to camp with, It'd be pretty fun to camp with you, our thoughts are fairly similar on certain topics. Take care buddy.

Great episode Luke. I love Lone Wolf Mountain. Did you see Survivorman Bigfoot lately with Les Stroud? Because that "tree structure" looks creepy... :)

Luke I love your vids. Very inspirational to get out and enjoy nature. Be well, my friend.

Awesome. Great start to the weekend, an overnight adventure video to watch :) Wishing you a great weekend to you and your family.

Thanks for another great Adventure! Props for getting out there in the heat, I live in N.C. too went out last week for a overnight in Uwharrie, think i may stick to the chair viewing for a bit till it cools lol. As for who i'd like to camp with from history that's a tough one, so many choices, maybe Crazy Horse :)

Hi Luke ...another great video. You always give us such great ideas to make camping easier in lots of ways. Luke what is that music you play at the beginning of your videos,and beautiful scenes you show. I just love it. I have camped a lot in my life, that is why I love to watch yours. I know why you have gotten you huge energy,from your Father. Keep them coming Luke.🌲🔥☕️🙂🐺

Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

It was very awesome of you to make sure to let everyone know you were done wielding sharp objects before drinking! :) And awesome review.

Yea I love my Swiss Army Volcano Stove & use it @ least once or twice a month. Hey thanks for all the great videos & knowledge you share with us.

Awesome video! I so look forward to your overnight adventure videos! I've had three recent adventures, but not quite like this. I went to motorcycle week in Lake George, NY, and camped there; I got my scuba diving certification and went on a bunch of dives; and, biggest for me and a lifelong goal: I finally finished my pilot training, passed my flight test, and officially became a licensed private pilot!!

Great Adventure Luke. My latest adventure... Kayak wildcamp with my 5 year old boy. Fantastic fun and great father son time. Will you ever bring your kids with you for a family adventure? Be great to see.

Luke, great video. I really relate to what you said about every man needing some alone time! I really wish could get some more alone time than I do. I never say anything to my wife about it because I don't want to hurt her feelings. Keep the great videos coming.

MEDICAL PACK IS SICK! FUNNY STUFF BUDDY!

Since I'm from Texas and live in Tennessee, I would pick David Crocket. A great outdoorsman and incredibly interesting historical character.

Hi, Luke. I always enjoy your videos, my last backpacking trip brought me to North Manitou Island off the coast of Leland, MI. Amazing trip and I would reccomend taking a trip up there, thanks for the great videos.

hello Luke the last few mouths I have been cycling. I plan to go camping in October. you are doing a great Job my friend.

Thanks for answering my question about who you would camp with and why. great video. keep them coming.

Great stuff, Luke! You really get me amped up for my next outing!

best place to drink a good beer!!

some great shots in this one...love all that green and sun. enjoyed it!

Hey! Anothe good episode. You call that temperature a heat wave. That's a nice day where I live. I will be back into the wild in September, it's boiling hot here.

Cool vid! I like looking nature, discover and loosen up...

steve irwin hands down. I'm really into reptiles and amphibians and there is SOOOO much I would LOVE to learn about him and them and his experiences.

Great vid bud, and digging the beard Id probably wanna camp with Theodore Roosevelt

I enjoy watching your adventures.

Luke i dont know if you will see this, but i will post it anyways! I love your videos and you as a person. I have never meet you, and i live in denmark, so across the world. But eventhough i have not met you in person, i feel like i know you, and i kind off see you as a mentor! You seem to always be positiv, and you have indeed tought me a way to live! I just want to say thank you so much for making these videos and i hope to meet you one day! Im going to post this comment on some of your other videos in hope that you will see this. ATB Ulrik Nicolajsen

Myself and my girl went for an overnight we had a tent but i gathered fire wood myself instead of buying it i forgot just how much work it is but i loved it

this video is great, your so happy and enjoying your self. this gave me some hood ideas for my future endevours. thanks a lot man. :)

Nice video Luke! The stove in the end looks like a nice one. Did you find it easy to pack into the backpack? Or was the round shape hard to fit? Take care, Joachim

great vid, you are really setting the standards in the genre. I like the "instagram" like color of the video and sharpness

I noticed you doing something that I suggested when I was in the Boy Scouts. When collecting wood, go uphill and carry down.

Hey Luke, here's a movie rec for your "staycation": American Sniper. Since you said you have an interest in history and war, not to mention your obvious interest in self-reliance and survival, I think you would really like it.

Hi Luke, I really love that shelter set up, I'm going to have to try that on my next camping trip. My most recent outdoor adventure, I spent a week hiking/backpacking through Kluane National Park with a friend, it was an amazing time, we didn't use any any tent or hammock, but we did bring them along just in case. haha, that's pretty funny, I never drink pop when i'm home, but when I go on camping trips I always take some bottles of pepsi with me. lol, I'm just going along commenting on what your talking about as its going, I do watch alot of tv, But I never miss it on outdoor adventures, I do record alot of shows while im away lol, I'd love to be there camping with you and hitler, LOL. I really love finding Elk Antler sheds, I found a few about a month ago, I collect them. -Jake

my last adventure was a 3 day hike at red river gorge ... this fall I will be thru-hiking sheltowee trace trail 319 miles

Luke, you're an inspiration. After a such of injury you continue hiking. I had spinal surgery not while ago and just waiting for recovery. Good video.! Yuengling the best ever!!!!! Have you ever considered to make videos Oconus, therefore make the channel abroad/internationally? Out...

I thought of wire, but got a light chain. Based on tripod/chain. Two 'S hooks. There's a fire build challenge done on youtube.. like several fires/starter methods. I saw a three pole fire once. Three sawed off spikes support a grill with fire under it. Fatwood stick fire. A counselor taught us craft. All he had was a bedroll plastic and string. He had an axe, knife, and told us about fishing. Then, he cooked a rabbit for the five of us. He said, you guys have all the gear. hah.

Good times Luke thanks for sharing!

Yuengling! The brewery is just 45 mins south of me in PA. If you're ever up in the area go visit them in Postville. It's a pretty cool family owned company

My gut response to who'd I love to go camping with was Lewis and/or Clarke. They were chosen or volunteered to scope out what was thought to be savage land and savage peoples and their survival skills must have been top notch. But my second thought after contemplation was any one of my grandfathers/great grandfathers because of their excellent Boy/Eagle scout recognition that I've seen that lead them into their military careers and civilian careers after serving.

Another great video! Keep up the good work!!

Good stuff my friend! That meal was sure interesting..but in a good way! :) Take it easy

Nice adventure Luke. I don't know if he was real or not but I'm partial to the old frontier days and the mountain men. I think I would like to camp with Jeremiah Johnson.

Thank you for sharing, Luke. God bless.

just got back from scouting a new place for camping, that about does it for adventures for me. We (Oregon) are in a heat wave that looks like it will last for 14 or so more days. Have fun

Totally Awesome Luke!!!! Wow the mountain is really greening up so nice!!!...Sorry to say unlike CA. right now...Getting so dry and dangerous in the Sierra Nevada foothills again this year... Got well over 100 F. today... I think camping with Davy Crockett or Lewis & Clark would have been pretty exciting in history... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett (I and my family are related to Chief Dragging Canoe of the Chickamauga Cherokees, on my dads side)

I like your attitude, you don't show off and try to look like John Garrisson ( Jeremiah Johnson). Must of the bushcraft guys do. Good video thanks.

The question you had on facebook about Todd Standing; I think he was referring to Les Stroud aka Survivorman. He's recently made a couple of series of documentary's about bigfoot and he had Todd Standing with him on a few of his adventures. Lots of people don't like Todd Standing and his belief in bigfoot. Les Stroud is a survival expert, you must have heard of him and/or watched Survivorman?

Great video Luke. Out of interest have you altered the colour settings on your camcorder or used some form of tint?

that backpack is awesome!

When are you going to work on the shed/cabin?? Hang mylar blankets up inside for better heat. Maybe bushcraft part of it. Like rock and log.

The one person I'd want to go camping with for one day and night would be Henry David Thoreau! His perspective on life was just fascinating.

The historical person I'd go camping with would be Henry David Thoreau. I read his book "Walden" as a young man and that greatly influenced me to spend more time in nature and to enjoy a simple life.

I love the long videos..... keep it up....... I don't want 5 minute videos.......

Hey Luke, In regards to your question in regards to who I would go camping with from History, that is a really hard one because I am like you. I am a history buff too and I love anything that has to do with History. If I have to choose someone from history to go camping with, it is a tie between two people. The first one is Wyatt Earp. The reason for that is because he was a family man that cared very much about his family. He was also fearless and believed in the law. Plus, to ride and fight along side with some like Doc Holiday is pretty awesome. The other person that I would like to go camping with one day is with Jay Moriarty. The reason for this is because he was full of energy, willing to take risks, and had fun. Plus, he also cared about his family again and was eager to learn. Going camping to me is where we can learn new things and enjoy life. That is what both Wyatt and Jay did.

Rain on the tent is the best bit

I enjoy your RU-vid channel! It is great! Have you ever reviewed the MSR stoves?
