Summer Storms - Overnight Adventure - The Outdoor Gear Review 

Going back at watching so many of these. Finding my love for the outdoors again is a beautiful thing.

Thank you so much my friend. I really appreciate that. More on the way!

I'm 77. Enjoy you and Ms Susie's adventures. Don't know what is involved, but would appreciate cc with your adventure. Hearing limitations creates problems for me to completely enjoy a lot of your adventures. Not physically able to do it, but can live it thru y'all. Ga. Boy Be Blessed 🙏

Thank you so much my friend. I will keep them coming!

Funny how, at the beginning, you said, "I'm not gonna bore you much with the hiking part" (because I've watched most of your videos, and have never been bored. You do enough stopping, talking, etc...to keep things lively...all the time. Love the rain...good fun. Thanks for another great outing Luke.

I have never seen ANYONE so self assured an comfortable in their own skin. What an inspiration. Your children are very lucky to have you as a role model. Stay safe!

I love the sound of the rain on the tent. Whenever i went camping as a child it always rained.

Thank you Opal. :) As for wildlife; nope, never a problem. I always make sure to do my best to keep it that way too. I love watching storms...amazing!

You are so very welcome my friend. Thank you as well. I should have the next camping trip video up by next week some time.

Wow this is like Christmas in July getting to see 2 overnighters in only a couple of days lol Love your overnighters

KASHWAK=NO-FO! That was a great story and a very well done audiobook. Thank you for the recommendation.

Thank you for watching and commenting Sam. The wide-mouth nalgene is definitely the way to go. ;) Be well and take care.

Hi thanks for taking us camping with you. I love the rain.As a young man ,I went to school half a day, got out at 1pm .In the warm months after I got home I would walk about three miles to a small creak to go fishing.Sometimes it was going to rain. To me this was great.I would bring a piece of plastic, put a string from tree to tree and drape the plastic over it. I won't sit on my rock under the plastic and fish , hearing the rain on the plastic.It did not matter if I caught anything I just loved it. Thanks for taking me back to those days 60 years ago. Nice spot you have to camp .I have an old 1995 Dodge van (work van). No insulation, when we have a thunderstorm,I sit in it to enjoy the sound of the rain on the roof. Later in life you will much enjoy the benefits of the pee bottle.

I like that tent ease to put up. Thanks from your tapes I learn since a kid not to be afraid of snow wind rain huracanes and so much more but be careful

I so appreciate your videos. They/you are the best "television" on the web.

Thank you my friend. Certainly did put a lot of work into it. :)

Thank you Luke for the adventure. And Im so happy the hole in the innersule is making it better! Hope it gets even better fast enough so you can do what you love the most!

Thank you my friend. I've tried doing a buddy video and I've always found it hard to record and less fun to watch. I will give it another try though.

love the sound of the rain...your confidence is very contagious

Regarding urinating in a bottle inside your tent, you can also tale a piece of 1.5 inch PVC pipe, about the length of your pack for ease of transportation, and use that with the end sticking out the door at a downward slope to prevent flowback. Handy in those downpours, and would require only a minimal opening in the door.

The last time I took it out was in the winter. It;s featured in one my winter camping adventures. ;)

Regarding peeing in a water bottle....did this once and tucked that bottle into the foot of my bag to keep those toes warm. Well worth trying. Great videos, loving them all and more importantly setting me in the mood to get out and do some camping again. Nothing like being outdoors. Love this channel and loving your attitude.

The opening of this video is 🔥🔥🔥 So beautiful. Great music from Snuffy!! Beautiful.

Man, that rain would put me in nap mode.:)

Its always interesting how people from different parts of the country talk. "pouring the rain" for instance. In Michigan we say "pouring rain" but we don't add "the" in there. Also Luke and Susan call small winter hats toboggans which I have never heard of, up here that means a sled for playing in the snow. We would call those hats a skull cap. Great job again Luke!

by far your best vid, camping is all about comfort and fun

Come on man. I just dream of watching movies in a tent while raining. Super mood to sleep. Some day I'll do it before I die I promise myself. How come I didn't discover your videos earlier. I love it. specially being cozy inside the tent while the world outside is harsh i.e snow rain storm whatever. Thumbs up man

Thanks for sharing your camping trip with us Luke, it looked awesome and probably was awesome. I always learn something new from you man, keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks mate. My favorite time is most certainly winter. ;) I love snow! :)

I would sleep like a baby listening to that beautiful sound sure I'm getting sleepy now love from Wexford in Ireland ❤☘️🇨🇮🥱

Another great video . Keep them coming amazing storms you get over there I wish we got decent thunder but it usually just rains here I use a bottle when in a dos bag a lot easier than wandering off somewhere in the middle of the night. Good job anyway mate cheers Warren .

What a beautiful place

Luke, love your vids, love the energy and no matter what, you always seem to make the best of any situation. I wanted to comment on the urinating in a bottle. When I was deployed to Afghanistan I always kept an empty water bottle beside my cot. The latrines were about 150 yards away and sometimes the weather was so cold so I would pee in an empty water bottle and throw it out the next morning in the camp dumpster. Sure as hell beat running to the bathroom at night or early in the morning in the cold.

Great job on the video; I appreciate the fact that you didn't try to edit out the less exciting parts, and that all of it seemed so much like the way I tend to camp. I have used the water bottle trick on winter treks; if you don't mind the gross aspect of it, you can use a freshly topped off bottle of this type as a hot water bottle, thus conserving heat when it is really cold. Just place in the sleeping bag for extra warmth. Sorry if this grosses out anyone; but it gets really cold up here.

On occasion I do and it's the Anker Pro 10000mAh. Works very, very well.

Some great advice William. Hope you are well my friend.

I love listening to the rain, we had tin roof when I was child slept better when it rained; hen we slept in parents old cars it was fun listening to the rain on the roof we liked being in the old cars during a storm was watching outside the windows and seeing the lightning lol

I love the fleece blanket. :)

Great vid Luke! You really are lucky there, with some fantastic scenery to enjoy. Really well set up camp spot too. It's great to get out alone and just enjoy the solitude, isn't it... It's like a shower for the mind, if you understand what I mean, you come out refreshed and clean and ready to face the world ;-) Now I want beans, not sure why...

No doubt about that! That was such a good trip. ;) I've got another camping trip coming up this week...can't wait! :) Maybe it will storm! Haha Probably will.

Found your page/videos last week...thoroughly enjoy watching...good video, sound, and love the story time aspect....and mostly, the positive attitude. You, Sir, are doing it right. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing with all of us....gives me the itch to go camping.

Rainy day tent beers, Rollin with King Werewolves, dude....you're my kind of people! Lol except make the beer a mixed drink. Lol Still watching it but had to say that. So far another awesome video! Craig

I want you to know that I enjoy everything that you do everything and we have a lot in common actually because I love to study or read about serial killers murders missing people all that kind of stuff so I understand. I wish you God’s favor and everything that you do and please keep up the good work I enjoy it so much. Living vicariously through you.

Nice to be in dry tent while the weather roars on outside. Great storm footage.

I like that tent. I saw how easy to set up. Also really looks roomy and ceiling is high.

Haha Thank you my friend!

that a boy drinking that good ol yuengling lager...i live mins away from the brewery in pottsville Pennsylvania.... cheers, cheers

I enjoyed the time with you. Thank you.

Your summer camping spot is brilliant.Great video's.

I absolutely love your passion for the outdoors. If I ever would get lost in the forest I would hope either I was with you or I ran into you! Great videos and excellent content. Keep it up. Oh and make your way up to Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania!

Great video, I have a nalgene bottle for when I have to go at night. I used to have a Sigg but the opening was to small. I also have put a tab on the lid, so I know when im half awake that im grabbing the one I pee in and not the one I drink out off. All the best, Sam

Luke, what u can do in a situation like this is take some wood, lay it over the top of the fire pit (on the very top of the rock ring), and then get some dirt and put it over the wood. This will protect the fire (somewhat), and u might get lucky, even in a strong rain, and enough coals will remain to restart the fire again after the rain passes. This is also an old technique you'll want to use even when it's not raining, and what it does is, basically, the same thing. It slows the fire down, because of limited air flow. You'll want to do this when u sleep for a long time and can't really tend the fire. Oh, make sure u leave about a half-inch gap on each side for slight amounts of air flow. Enough to keep the fire barely going. Good luck, young man.

I love your vids Luke..you all ways seem like your having a great time no matter what the conditions are like keep up the good work man!

in the UK we have only a few options for small packs of meat or cheeses like the ones you use. pepperami (a kind of jerky strip dried meat sausage) or baby bell miniature cheese come to mind, or there are packs of fancy party cheeses but that is kind of it. love the videos, thank you for bringing us with

Nothing like a cold beer (or two) when camping, the only thing missing is a good beet steak cooking on the fire ;-)

I like your camping area, I can see you spent a lot of time preparing it - looks great!

It's so much fun to go back and look at older video frim your channel and the quality then is just as good as it is now. It's interesting to see the gear you used back then and see how you set stuff up. This area under the tree looks great too! I wonder if there were any apples on the tree? I enjoy all you videos so much!

Been in the military, a lot of camping and especially being an over the road trucker, Oh, I have used empty jugs and bottles plenty of times, being in places with no bathroom. When ya gotta go, you go.

Really enjoy your vids. Favorite time to camp is fall....bugs down an eeather is moderate. No poison ivy.

I always urinate on long car trips in a bottle. I have never thought of using one for backpacking though! Thanks for the tip : )

I still haven't watched it yet. I need to go camping! Haha

"No danger of any trees falling on us." lol 😉

Still loving these videos. Thanks and keep on camping!

Great video! I really enjoy your overnight adventures!! Keep up the Great work!!!

Agreed!

Such An Amazing Person Be Safe 💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤗🤗🤗🤗

Great video! Don't know if you've found them yet or not, but they do have mechanix gloves with black writing instead of white, that's what I've got. Check on Amazon, it's where I found them.

love the videos and the attitude im just starting my channel but im glad i found yours

Hey Luke love your vids. Picked up several ideas already. The one about peeing in a bottle I already use. I use old peanut bottles. fit into your boots so they won't get knocked over and have a wide mouth so are easier to use. I store stuff in an empty clean one and pull that stuff out and then the empty is ready to use.

KAHNNNNN!!!!!

watched one of your videos a year ago and now I'm hooked. you rock Luke would love to hang out with ya. .

Luke ....love just hearing you chat ....you always come across as such a lovely guy...especially when your with susie... #couple goals

That spot looks nice! With the summer sleeping bag thing you should get a linen bag liner. You can find them on very cheap on steepandcheap all the time

Nothing better than being in a tent when it's raining

Another great video! Really enjoy your vids, very helpful. I wish I had more time to take weekend trips and overnighters. Definitely go out for dayhikes as often as possible. I was wondering, because I've got a bit of a collection of gear going for myself as well, are you paid to advertise certain gear? Do you have sponsors and whatnot? Keep up the great vids! -Matt

Nice video and I like the music, with your nice personality make this video wonderful!

Sure thing my friend. Simple Answer : Everywhere! Haha

Great vid :) weird weather, 10 years ago I was investing in down jackets for the winter....the last few years I've been buying wet weather gear....have you tried ventile ? I really like it...expensive but it works for me...dries very quickly at room temp, even after being completely soaked ! And of course it's fine around the campfire :) .....Love "alone in the wild" :))

Fleece blanket cool idea. Nice tent.

a tin of beans a can of lager and sitting in pouring rain ... and thats awsome .being in a house must be realy awesome .and floodings great ... and please no more awesome .. awesome ... my ears are bleeding from awesome

Just a few suggestions for your tent movies: The Blair Witch Project, Wrong Turn 1 and 2, The Hills Have Eyes, Wolf Creek.

Nice work Luke. Ten years! Idk how I ended up w two Livin'Large s. Maybe a dropped or stolen phone in some town.

I have a lot of Marathoning to do...wow 2013 to 2019 LOL...well at least it will keep me awake at work :)

Great guitar music and love the video!!

came across this other great video! great stuff mate!!

Sure do miss those mountains!

I miss camping trips like that

Damn right! I love this idea! I will see what I can do. ;)

TheOutdoorGearReview u should try to go camping every week or two weeks I love the overnight videos

And back to coffee! Haha

My wife and I absolutely love your videos. We especially love your positive attitude and think it's contagious. I have a couple of questions. We are from Canada here and mosquitoes are horrible in the summer. Do you have many mosquitos there in N.C.? Secondly. I've seen on two occasions that you keep your sleeping quarters well away from your fire. What is the reason for this? Keep making these great videos. Cheers from your fans in Canada!

Sounds very familiar! :) Be well.

I take a small battery-operated fan with me when I'm out. makes a big difference in the Calif. heat.

In North Carolina we call fireflies lightening bugs
