funny watching this now. Your vehicle has changed a couple times, the camera is definitely better now but overall your videos have stayed very consistent. Would be interesting to see side by side comparisons of the gear :)

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Thank you so much. I really do appreciate it.

@defendingfather1 9 лет назад

Luke, you produce great outdoor videos and I love your positive attitude! Done a lot of miles on the AT and other trails. I am not as tough. I hate the pain of a blister. I have found that I can feel a "hot spot" coming on and I use mole skin early and head off a blister. When you are out for multiple days a piece of mole skin can stay on for several days (though you should change it to monitor infection). A little bit larger piece I have found stays on better also. I would rather forget my sleeping bag than go out hiking with no mole skin!

Not everyone is a guy that watches your video! Some women enjoy backpacking.

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Part 3: I would recommend the Tanawha Trail if you guys haven't done it before. You can make the hike as long as you want it to be and the views are Beautiful! If you have any questions let me know. Happy to help. I will see if I can get away from the family on Saturday. That would kick ass! Thanks for the invite guys.

@balkangetaway 6 лет назад

Why didn't you just put a band aid on as soon as you felt that blister coming on . If i do that i don't feel a thing more from it. Makes the trip much more comfortable, you save the pain killer and the risk of infection. No reason to be a tough guy when it comes to things like that 😃

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Thank you for the sub my friend. In the future I will do some trail buddy videos. :) I know of the perfect person....

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

6 - 8 hour hike huh? Wow you have a lot of options my friend. If you want to keep to the Blue Ridge Parkway there is a lot that you can do. You could start at Beacon Heights and do a portion of the Tanawha Trail. Go up to Rough Ridge and check out the killer views. You guys could hike that 3 hours one way and then head back. I'm running out of space so I will reply again in a second.

@jeffreyknutson1633 10 лет назад

Let us know when you get a kickstarter up. I'm in to fund that some. love the channel. started hiking again with my six year old because of it. Thanks.

@ghostwatts7802 8 лет назад

what GPS did you use?Ive lived in NC all my life and just recently found out about this trail.Thanks in advance May God bless you and your travels.

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Thanks mate. In the defense of the boots; that was more my fault than theirs. :)

@tboy221 11 лет назад

i need all the hear that someone would need im planning on buying my pack from cqmelbak rated 20-25 pounds. and a tent and sleeping bag. I have a Garmin Oregon 550t gps receiver and I want to get a pentax wg-3 gps camera waterproof. do you have any suggestions on the other gear I need? plus a sleeping bag and tent? thanks

@tboy221 11 лет назад

after I get all the equipment I need im going to hike section A of the Pacific Crest Trail. section A starts at the Mexican border and goes for 124 miles. if you want to hike it with me im open to that idea. I can accommodate you in my guest room here in southern California. I think it will take me all winter to get all the hiking essentials I need so maybe next year. I have section A loaded on my Garmin GPS receiver and I can load everything to you.

To assist with determining direction, remember this: The bark..... always grows on the outside of the tree.

@Brian-jz1pi 9 лет назад

Luke you like exploring i know you get on the water sometimes but have you ever explored a wild cavern?

@tboy221 11 лет назад

speaking of the tripod. there is a device that you can attach to a trecking pole that will hold your camera so you can hold it out in front of you. I think I will buy a trecking pole and also get that mount for a camera

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Thanks pal! Definitely got more videos coming up.

@christianseely9934 9 лет назад

The hydration bladder in the freezer trick is the real deal. I read on one manufacturer's website that they recommend doing that. I haven't done that for fear of plastic particulates releasing into the bag when frozen.

@gazlyno 4 года назад

Enjoyed watching this old vid during lockdown. As an ex infantry soldier only one word with regarding your feet. Foot powder, foot powder, foot powder! Never under estimate the power of Foot powder. Those socks you were wearing should be Ok as they were outdoor Mamout brand. Make sure you put plenty on your feet to prevent blisters and maybe inside your boot. Enjoyed watching these old vids Luke stay safe Buddy

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

HAHA You almost made me spit out my coffee! You're welcome! . . . . Ok, I agree!

Luke, I use to hear voices too, but now that I have a cell phone they just text me.

You should play with your wife more..

@restman79 10 лет назад

Hey Luke, nice video; you're fortunate to have ready access to so many trails and parks. I live in Fort Myers so Labelle is just up the road, though I've only had occasion to pass through a few times, I only know it by reputation: rural, some nice country, but a bit "hicks in the sticks". I remember my first time driving through on the way to West Palm Beach and thinking, "That's it? That was the town??"

@TheOutdoorGearReview 10 лет назад

Haha I personally think La Belle is a hell hole. When I was a kid I definitely saw some of the bad aspects of that town, from drugs to murder. Maybe it has grown up some since I was there years ago. Be well my friend. - Luke

@ricktimmons458 2 года назад

beautiful flowers and trails. bikers and horses need their own trails. when i use trails i refuse to go behind horses (i am allergic) and most bikers are RUDE to hikers.

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

THE RAM VAN!!!!!!!!

@shawnsmith780 3 года назад

Luke. I know this video was seven years ago but this is our first time seeing it. I'm sure that's a perfectly fine trail but that trail, in this video on that given trip, gave both my fiance and I the creeps. Did not feel good about it. I know. That sounds weird but that's just the gut feeling both of us had. But...since you're ok it's all good. 😀

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Thanks brother. We might have to make this happen! :)

@Darkshadow715 11 лет назад

Another great one! :D Take care as always.

@nicolareddwooddforest4481 10 лет назад

Trying to find your hike where you meet the horses. Those are super great looking horses. I wanted to ask you some questions about the horses.

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Thanks Metsfan! :) Hope you are well buddy.

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Haha That's the method I use.

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Haha Thanks Brady.

@brianbritton3175 4 года назад

Wear two pairs of thinner socks, you will never get a blister. Even with brand new boots.

@doreenbooth4944 4 года назад

As you were hiking down the trail i almost thought something black was behind you unsure

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Thanks Darkshadow!

@TheOutdoorGearReview 11 лет назад

Part 2: You could do any number of sections of the Mountain to Sea Trail. It follows most of the Parkway up here so you could start at any point really. You guys could also drive out to Linville and hike the Gorge. There are a ton of different trails out there too. Grandfather Mountain is another option.

@thebrizzy 8 лет назад

Interested in selling your bag?

@dianeyannich5305 8 лет назад

Great hike today Luke. I broke in a new pair of boots doing the Kattadin climb up in Maine hike I highly recommend! I had the same results you did. When will we learn!

@Jtwizzle 10 лет назад

Amazing trek! Will definitely check out that "moleskin"! That Mountain house lasagna is for sure awesome.

@TheOutdoorGearReview 10 лет назад

That was a fun trek. Might have to do that again some time. :)

That sounds like a great idea!

Thanks for the trip again Luke ,love it!

@wdavisga 8 лет назад

I could see concern on your face when you fund fresh cigarette butts on the trail and realized that you might not be alone. Hiking alone so far from civilization, do you carry a firearm for protection?

@WildMedGuru1 11 лет назад

Like the movie idea!

@bravosierraoutdoors400 11 лет назад

Dude u are awesome

@sparky0288 9 лет назад

Boy I wish I could go for hikes like that.....

@TheOutdoorGearReview 9 лет назад

sparky0288 Come on out to NC and we'll go on one. - Luke

@sparky0288 9 лет назад

I wish I could, but I'm sure the trails are not wheelchair accessible..

@cn7449 9 лет назад

sparky0288 Hey, man. Check out this website, click the link of which state you'd like to hike in, and find all the wheelchair accessible trails in your area: www.traillink.com/activity/wheelchair-accessible-trails.aspx

@Galacticbirdie 11 лет назад

Alright TOGR its me again, NEED HELP! My buddy and I are going to be in your area this Saturday(May18). We want to Hike for 6 to 8 hours(we avg. 2mph). Will you help us pick a trail? We will be in one vehicle, so a loop or a there and back trail would be great. You are more than welcome to come along with us( that would be super cool!). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million bud....Keep up the VIDS!

@TheLetsPlayCommunity 11 лет назад

My gah.... that is one sweet van!

@knslingley 2 года назад

Recently found your channel. Really enjoy. I live an hour west of Labelle .. a "drive thru" town on the way to JROTC annual canoe trip. Love camping and hiking with my son ... Pisgah NF is by far our favorite for all the waterfalls.

@christianseely9934 9 лет назад

Hey, just a suggestion, you should check out some eye protection. Maybe some ess crossbows or crosshairs. Looks like a lot of possibilities for eye poking. Thanks for making the vid. Keep it up.

@deputyprepper4931 9 лет назад

Luke, I would donate to the kick starter if you ever get it up and need to keep the chanel going.

@MegaSusanc 2 года назад

WOW! The difference between now and then, lol It's still awesome, if I may say. And you were just a skinny little guy 😆 not that your fat now or anything. lol, just you look more muscular now 🤣 Thank you for sharing. God bless y'all

@kevinp8108 8 лет назад

Could you put an ointment with benzocaine to numb the blister pain instead of taking ibuprofen?

@ozmacguyver Год назад

Hahahah, lols moment. That intro showed Luke using his knife on a blister, the next shot was a red looking meal sachet.........perhaps he took off a little too much skin, and decided to add to the stew!! Hahaahaha (insert Austin Powers Goldmember "That's a Keeper" line here)

@brianpuffenbarger3824 3 года назад

After 63 years of back country hiking i have found that swede boots keepyourfeetwarm in winter and cool in the summer and are very light weight and be sute to scotch guard the heck out of them. Keep truckin Luke. I have a spinal cord injury so o can't hike much less walk anymore. U wouldn't believe how much i miss it. So i watch your show thanks im your biggest fan . God Bless you and yours. Oh and i really dig your truck.

@jameskirk5887 4 года назад

Cool video Luke! I think this is one of the oldest videos of yours I have seen so far. Looking good my friend!

@dennisdaly1957 2 года назад

That would be a GREAT place to do a Truck camping episode. You could bring your wife and kids and show what a family could do on a weekend of camping and hiking in such a place. By the way you said it was a day trip it can't be too far away and wouldn't and it be expensive trip too film and it MAY inspire others to get out and actually do something. when my kids were younger, I use to do the same thing you do now. Now my Grandkids want to go with me when I go exploring. It feels good and I totally enjoy them learning about what's left of our wilderness and how to survive in situations they may run into. Your video hit on things that kids now days need to know. Most of the parents now think that going to a city park is getting out where the wild squirrels live. Keep it up, maybe they'll get the hint.

@marydebruyn8001 4 года назад

Opps... anyway is a pretty small town ... it’s a place it’s nice to be from but wouldn’t want to live there!!!

@backpackingonline 4 года назад

1:08 ..Ouch! I use folding tiny scissors from eBay to cut a shape around the edges of the blister, and cut a hole over the size of the open blister that has the damaged and separated skin removed. Then, I put moleskin over the moleskin “donut” to equalize the pressure on the blister from the hiking shoe. I wear new hiking shoes around town to avoid any problems on the trail.

@WarriorHut 11 лет назад

Very Good video!! Having a thought of geting the pair of Wellco Combat Boots until seeing the blister on your foot!! :D Take good care !!

@pamulmer554 3 года назад

Hi Luke. I know this was an old video but my husband suggested you try baby powder in your socks to prevent blisters. You probably know that by now. Lol. Love your channel and your sweet family.

@janetburrows137 2 года назад

Just found this adventure. OMG Luke Love 💖, you look sooooooo Young. ❤️💕😂😂🇬🇧💖👍

@khelben1979 Год назад

One really good thing with this video is there isn't too much cuts, and I also enjoyed you told us some personal stuff that you often don't talk about. No self censoring on the colorful language also. :D

@jerryadams6799 2 года назад

i know this video is older than dirt but one thing you can do to prevent blisters on long hikes or road marches is to wear either dress socks under your regular socks if you are too macho for the second option or if you don't embarrass easily wear women's stockings (short ones or cut off ones) under your regular socks. both of these will greatly reduce friction, though you still have to keep dry or change socks if you do get wet. also apply corn starch or foot powder frequently.

@harrisdail9939 2 года назад

Luke hate to be the bearer of bad news but new studies have found rattlers above the 13000 foot range in the mountains. Guess you been very lucky not coming across one.

@milehigrl 3 года назад

My boy friend use to live in Labelle Fl...I’ve stayed there many time ! Small but wouldn’t want to live there! Lol

@Galacticbirdie 11 лет назад

Great Vid...Go for it on the Kick start idea..We wanna see more vids..!

@myshihtzudontstink Год назад

I had no idea this trail existed til I was driving the other day and saw signs. Looked it up as soon as I got home. Score another point for living in NC.

@nightvan4427 4 года назад

Good job but don't show your sore and don't use your knife :) pleas ofcourse

@TheMalet1 3 года назад

Do you wear light colored (e.g., orange, yellow, etc) T Shirts by design?

@patriciaboston2376 2 года назад

Hey Luke do you do this camping channel for a living or do you have a normal job you do as well

@sheilabutterworth5800 2 года назад
