This episode highlights why I always bring an extra meal on trips. You never know when a meal will be bad or if you get stuck out in the woods longer than you planned.

Using Natural elements to anchor the tent is a Genuis idea!

I think what sparked my interest is how organized you are with your camping gear.

Luke I am not up to camping anymore but I love to sit way back on the porch and watch the rain. And sometimes stay out there if the storm is not too bad. Great camping videos. I have bought a few things you have used there. Doing a bit of prepping just in case. You never know when the electric or gas will be off for whatever reason. Learning how to use these things watching you. Then practicing here with them. Thank you, God Bless.

Thursday. 11AM. New storm camping video from Luke. Life is good! Thank you Luke! Cheers 🍻

Never agreed to a comment so quickly. I love togr. Also love to Germany from the UK. And hello to anyone who may see this .

I learnt the hard way that you need to pack in more food than just the one / two meals. That hard way was snowed in 30+ kilometres away from a public road for 4 days whilst out for an afternoon hunt. Not much fun, and thankfully the weather changed and I could get back to civilisation in my truck. Whilst it was a bit of scare at the time, I had a stack of food, both dried and frozen to choose from. I ran out of coffee but had tea and more so my morale and attitude was maintained. Never over estimate the effect a good soup or misto can give you. Now, even when hiking, I pack enough for 4-6 days minimum in dried packs and loose mix.. I does not weigh much, and is real peace of mind if the weather turns. Nice to have a choice too to eat in the evening.

Luke you and Susie seem like wonderful people. Please tell your daughter that I thank her for her service. My family has had many military service. We know and appreciate the sacrifices you guys make. I love watching you and Susie’s videos. We use to love camping but now with our health, we can’t go anymore. I get my outdoor camping through watching you. I also love the storms. Not necessary the snow.😆. God bless you all.

Not sure if it's the same in the USA but here in UK you can count on deciduous trees to tell if it going to rain, the leaves on the trees point to the ground if rain on the way and the older the tree the more reliable.. it works too. My grandad bless him knew the weather before the weatherman . nature is not just beautiful it's clever.

I’m native am. N my elders taught us if the leaves go silver. Meaning they “flip” so upside is downward means rain.

Always pack twice as much food as you think you need. Just in case you are out longer than you plan or as in this case some food was questionable.

Hi Luke, Quick tip...When cooking, the fire is hottest directly under the pan. Don't let the fire go around the sides of the pan. It is wasted heat. Just wanted to share... 😁

Good choice not eating that food,I think your story from the elevator was funny too,and friendly.thanks for sharing it with us Luke.

Love you and your family too 😊..please be safe driving too. Katie

Thanks to you I’ve gone out camping I e got a heart condition the doctor has said due to what I’m doing for some reason is helping and I thank you for that

We did a lot of camping in Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping 'cross the plain and the ground is a rocky pain... I use 12 inch timber spikes for tent stakes. They never pull out, even in the highest winds Oklahoma had to offer. I originally started using them to make staking out my tent easier. It was impossible to get those cheap aluminum stakes driven into the ground, because of the insane amount of rocks. Hasn't been an issue since. Ever!!

After watching Luke for sometime now it seems like he considers food as a necessary nuisance and doesn't want to waste to much time, space or weight on carrying it. But his coffee now that's a definite must have!😊 I would have taken at least a couple of those meals and alot more snacks, but Luke counts his broccoli 🥦 spears 😂 and brings 4 and thinks that's plenty! He eats better when his wife is along.👩‍❤️‍👨

Amazing tent price. It would be great if it doesn't leak.

Hi Luke , Thank god there was enough Gas left for Coffee ! 🙂👍

‘Bad weather’ means good content, thunder and lightning and much needed rain. And hopefully cool Fall temps!

Giggling at you feeling like a celebrity! You are!!!

I've watched perhaps every single video, gaining knowledge, thanking past people and experiences for showing their sharing of knowledge and training is backed up by your experiences so often, and one thing I want to pass on is the need to let people know that counting on accurate weather reports can get you killed if you are not prepared. So many people bring gear that is right on the edge, depending on weather forecasts as rock solid and then face adverse conditions their gear was not appropriate for. Primarily, the wrong insulation/weather blocking gear, whether it be the shelter, sleeping setup, or clothing. In this video you were expecting bad weather yet early on it was gorgeous. Accurate weather for specific locations and times is still scientific guesswork. Definitely check the reports, but prepare for worse conditions than the reports may indicate! Thanks Luke, for all the enjoyable and educational videos!

Great video!

Fantastic video as always. Glad you didnt eat that food. Ive had food poisoning in the wild before and its not something i like to remind myself of tbh

Thank you Luke for the video.

Maybe you can talk a little about the types of knots you use for setting up your tarps. I really enjoy your channel!

Videography is excellent.

New sub binge watching older videos 👍❤from Michigan

I lived in Florida for 40 years. Just moved to West Virginia 7 months ago. So far, it's the best decision I have ever made.

Wise decision not to eat something questionable. In all the years our family went camping, we never succumbed to food poisoning. My folks were always careful to ice everything down, and get more ice before things thawed out, unless it was time to eat the items thawed. My mom even froze cracked open whole eggs/yokes so that we could have fresh eggs for breakfast a couple of mornings during our 7 day week campouts! She froze lots of our food, and the food became the ice packs! She was very clever. WE kept the ice chests under the pick nic tables, packed in the shadiest part of the campsite underneath thermal blankets to keep the chests really cold too. WE camped in July and August! WE usually did not need ice until the 4th day. You would have been impressed with my Mom's outdoor camp kitchen! A coleman 2 burner stove, plus a grill over the campfire! She really had things set up with how to wash the dishes too. She made hot H20, had a tub to wash and rinse tub too. WE used paperplates for the most part. She had spices too. Believe it or not Luke, but my mom also made homemade potatoe salad, she brought and also fresh fruit salad, and even fresh tossed green salad!! We did eat Hamburgers and hotdogs but also had healthy stuff too. WE had oatmeal for breakfast at least twice during camping week, and eggs and potatoes and either bacon or sausage a couple times too. We had cold cereal and milk twice a week, and break up camp day, we got to out for breakfast. We had lunch at the campsite pretty much 5 days a week and two lunches out. Dinner same way. Mom was a planner. With four kids and 2 adults camping for 6 nights 7 days one has to plan. We had the dog too. What I remember most, we had fun, even when it rained. Dad had the whole place tarped out from the tents to the picnic table and even had ground cover for walkways from the tents to the picnic table--we were not going to get rained out! WE went twice a year, once in July and again in August every year. WE had a blast. My favorite time of the year was camping with my family. WE loved it. We were spoiled because we camped at campgrounds with hot and cold running water and it was a hike to the flush toilets!! LOL But we were tent camping all the way! Once in a while we did the primitive camping where we dug our own latrines--and had to lug in our own water, and it was a wild place, and it was crazy camping. I mean crazy as in crazy out of control people would come around too. But we made out okay. Thanks for reminding me of those times. Blessings.!

In this day and age the story about the elevator gives us hope that we can still laugh at ourselves and not be offended LOL!

When I looked inside that bag of food, I thought: Cheese. I wonder if it was gorgonzola, because THAT cheese it THE stinkiest, smelliest FEET cheese in existence!! I got a meal with that at an Italian restaurant one time and literally had to send it back because I thought I was going to lose my cookies right at the table, lol! Great video, as usual. I always feel so peaceful after each episode. God bless you, Luke.

I really enjoy these videos,, thank you Luke.

As a knife nut, the way you paused to show the knife made me look it up in your description. That Sandvik 14C28N steel is a Great, tough, stainless steel. My last knife purchase was a lockback from Castillo of Spain with that steel but more expensive. At that price it's a good value, and a good choice! I may have to pick one up.

Florida is an adventure in and of itself 😮

The elevator story to me was funny, made me really chuckle. Glad you had a lovely break.

Luke, I've had nights where I expelled "gas" all night long. And I wasn't camping. Keep the videos coming!

this is why i love your channel. you took the time to write down the names of the people you met. Iv watched so much youtube in my lifetime and i can say without a doubt iv never seen anyone do that and it shows truly how much you care. thank you and please dont ever change!

I would have put the tent under the tarp. I always have 2 layers to protect from rain or snow. Plus it protects the tent from falling debris like pine cones etc.

Representing Michigan with the Kars trail mix!

luke you are a special person dude dont worry you are a celebrate more so then alot of youtubers

Time to bring an extra meal each time. Thanks for the adventure. S&H.

Thank You

Temu does have really good deals on stuff

I’m betting the tent won’t leak and you will be surprised Luke

It seems they have modernized camping to the point it doesn’t seem like real camping anymore. But I still enjoy listening to you

It's crazy to see a video there with no rain involved, stranger things have happened but not many...Nice camp Luke🏕 Florida trip sounded good, interactions with fans was a plus. Too bad about the meal, a backup would have been nice😉 The tent..we'll see. Thanks for the trip.

Had a lucky time camping a long a go fellow camper washed shoes in camp pot ,later wondered why pasta was crunchy be safe out there Peace ✌️🕊️🕊️

Yes I would carry a few meals and extra snacks just in case. You just never know. God Bless.

I suspect the foil pouch integrity was compromised in some way. Hopefully, Luke will update us if he contacts Peak Refuel & let us know what they say.

I would pass on a dirty shoe MRE too 😂

A lot of the forecasts are saying not much snow this year!! Let's all hope they are wrong.

This is wild. I’m watching this video while suffering from mild food poisoning!

Hi Luke, first of all you have forgotten more than I'll ever know about backpacking...but, I never use a full ridge-line either over or under the tarp. My experience with running a full ridge-line is (1) when it rains and a line is under the tarp, the rain will flow down the line and drip into the interior; and, (2) a full ridge-line uses too much line. If I want to hang items up in my tarp, I simply turn the tarp "upside down" so that the guy out points are inside the shelter, to which I hang my wet clothes, lights and whatever else strikes my fancy. Keep up the good work. Your vids are very informative.

@@squirrelcovers6340 maybe true, Squirrelcovers...but to me, knots are over-rated at camp...my set-up requires one knot (bowline) at the tree end (loop thru bowline and insert a toggle), then line lock hooks at the tent or tarp end to provide line adjustment. One line at each guy-out point. Does anyone use ridgelines anymore?.

Years ago I was up in Ely Minnesota camping a lightning storm came up three other campers were in a tent, two brothers, and a friend. Lightning struck the ground close to their tent all three got hit by lightning only two survived one brother died because he had a metal zipper on his sleeping bag the other two have plastic zippers 😢.

Thanks for the interesting & life saving info.! Never even thought ,that having a metal zipper on your sleeping bag, could cost you your life!! That lightening strike was freak happening though, if you ask me.(Goes to show, you never know what will happen when you are camping!)

I luv how you even made room for a light strip.

Glad you both enjoyed FL. Nice you were so happily greeted by viewers and lucky about your First Class cabin airline ride down. You are smart to question eating suspicious smelling and looking foods you just opened. Don't want to sicken yourself. Hooray about your cabin's leak fix!

Another Awesome vid!! Can't wait for full tent review!

I always enjoy watching Yr videos over and over Thank you for sharing.

People forget that, when you are flying a tarp, you have basically created a sail. Sails pull boats… 😮

I am happy your family are doing well. What happened to the pork and beans? On your next hot tent adventure see if Susie will go with you. We really enjoy your channel and what you two did to take us through the covid times.

Love this adventure!!! Very relaxing to watch after a very hectic day! So happy y’all had a great trip to Florida. Y’all take care and stay safe! I think your little tent will stay dry😊

Hi Luke nice to hear you had a fantastic reception in Florida and you had a wonderful time, you made a great choice not to eat the food better safe than sorry ,see you on lone wolf mountain,stay safe

Hey not sure if you will ever see this comment, as a suggestion. When you tell us about the temperature may you put in Celsius in an edit so we understand what you are talking about! Thank you :D Greetings from Canada 🍁

This exact tent is sold here in Brazil by Nautika, by name NTK Windy 1. And costs 60 dollars. Here, its consideered by the local survivalists and preppers as a cheap escape tent.

❤ glad you had the extra snacks 😮🥨 miss seeing Susie

..Roll footprint down and keep under edges under tent to prevent water from puddling under tent .. and when rains are expected ,, trench the perimeter of your tent to drain away from you .... not fun being wet and cold ...

Hi Luke, I am really digging that Tent ! 👍💯✌️

Thanks for reviewing this tent. I have seen it on Temu and was little skeptical about it. I hope it passes the water test. If it does I will order it right away.

Hi Luke I came across your channel .I love it .I'm 79 I went camping like you back in the 50s all up till 99 when my health took a turn for worst .Your channel bring back great memories .THANK YOU 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great adventure! That song at the end is cool too!

Here in Washington state, today starts the nice weather, then like NC bam next Thursday, it's cold, and I mean cold for here. We've already received snow in our upper elevations, aka 5k and above.

If the tent turns out to be okay. It would be nice to maybe do an episode of nothing but temu camping. Where everything you use is from temu except maybe the food and clothes of course. Kinda like how you guys take your big trips and brake everything down on total costs.

Yo Luke! Just wanted to say I have that exact Fire Maple Stove and love it! I use it a lot! I've got a group of pics cooking steakes etc. Works so easily and quickly that I use it at home too. I even light it on the railing of my portch to bbq dinners. Works GREAT!!

I don’t think the tent will leak but will have to see when you test it Gary from Liverpool England

i love the fire, makes the episode for me

Lovely area... lots of rain and storms...fabulous...Careful with all those preservatives, they can gut rot... cheeers...mate.

Awesome💥💥💥💥🤟

Actually the elevator story was one of your best. Cracked me up, I could just imagine it 😂 Loved it

Love the elevator story, you are a true gentleman at heart sir. Thanks for the video.

Your videos are very informative and professionally done. Another great one Luke! Cheers.

Hi Luke!! Love your videos!!! ❤❤❤ Especially your storm camping videos!!! ❤❤❤❤ I also absolutely love Temu!!! We order from them often and they sell quality items!!

Dude, that's a pretty nice piece of kit you got there.

Hey Luke great to see you back on KZread after your break to universal studios I absolutely love it there Halloween horror night is amazing we don't celebrate it quite like that over here in the UK when my immigration is sorted to come to the USA I am looking forward to going on some adventures myself like what you do I have learnt so much from your channel and I really appreciate you and Susie for everything that you share with us .... All the best to you both and happy hiking ....Simon Docherty 🇬🇧🇺🇲

I like the tent. Better not leak. Looking forward to the leak test post. I would like to purchase it.

I just received my Fire Mapel 5” kit stove today. This one has a series of plates so you can use various fire items, wood, gas and alcohol. Can’t waited to use it. I assembled it today and it was very easy.

Aaarrggg, I wouldn’t have even tasted that!🤪

I agree with not eating something if your first reaction especially through smell makes you suspicious. It's generally wise to pay attention to that instinct because people can have many different meals in their lives and don't have that reaction , so why now with this meal ? Wise move especially if you have options.

I was caught "off guard" by the suspicious Peak Refuel Meal. PR is my GO-TO freeze dried manufacturer/supplier.

Maybe the Peak food pouch was incorrectly sealed or had been punctured in some way, it only takes the tiniest of holes to make something go off / become stale, especially when it was still in date by a long way

@auggie618

Most likely that lot was probably freeze dried improperly and the food spoiled.

Awesome video Luke! Would love to see you and Tony from AB Camping do a video together in The States or New Zealand. Love both Channels!😊

Luke can tackle anything in life but when it comes to pistachios forget about it! 🤣

Depends on the tent stake, and what you’re driving them into ! I started off with wooden stakes , anywhere up to 14” for the main guys. Horses for courses I reckon.

The way his trips go he should be called Luke Storm , he seems to attract them

one thing that struck me while you were eating those breakfast oatmeal bars. It's strange how we mix stuff in our mouths, that we would never ever mix in a bowl and eat, but while it's in our mouths, we mix almost any kind of food and/or drink in there. It's just me thinking of stupid things, but I find it kind of funny:)))) You make great and informative videos, cheers from norway.

My son just freaked out when you downed those pistachios. He thought they were shell on. He said dang Luke just raw dogged those land clams-shell and all! 🤣😂🤣😂🤛😂
