Wolves Den Gear is a trademark that I don't think is taken. Wolf pack and lone wolf are taken. I am not sure what the likelihood of him starting a gear company is though. It's one thing to know quality and an entirely different story to design it. Even if you can design something making it come to life is much more complicated. He would be risking his reputation if what he comes out with is poor quality as well. Just look at survival Lilly's knife if you need an example of this.

I imagine that has crossed Luke's mind at some point in time. Product design, development, and commercialisation takes an extraordinary amount of effort, and that would mean the end of what he does now with this channel. Unless he outsourced everything, but then you risk so much more with quality and money.

Thank you for your kind words! I completely agree, the production value and camera work in this video are outstanding. It's great to see the KZreadr continuously raising the bar and providing such high-quality content. By the way, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile powerhouse that could come in handy during your outdoor adventures. It has a massive capacity, powerful output, and even features waterproof technology. Definitely worth checking out!

The background music is incredible; the filming of the lightening storm is epic. Luke, this video rates a 10 out of 10. One of the best KZread videos I've seen!

Hey Luke, thank you for the lovely easy break time from our busy noisy stressy lives. Its so enjoyable to share the sights, sounds and atmosphere from such a wild, peaceful place. You help us all a little to escape. I find the reviews really interesting and useful too. Im sadly past long hikes and all-weather camping thanks to a debilitating illness but your own obvious joy in being out there can still inspire me to be outdoors and for that I thank you. Strength and honour.

Stressy. I like that! That can go in the "Sniglets" Dictionary. "The term sniglet was conceived by comedian Rich Hall during his tenure on the 1980s HBO comedy series Not Necessarily the News. Each monthly episode featured a regular segment on sniglets, which Hall described as "any word that doesn't appear in the dictionary, but should"." (Copied and Pasted).

Hey man, like you I am up in age and my hiking deep in the woods are behind me. I stay close to the house as my wife has a lot of health issues and I need to be fairly close in case something happens. But I usually try to get to a state park or county park to camp in. I do a truck bed camp where I put a tarp over the bed of my truck and use a lawn lounge chair to sleep on. I use that because I sleep in my recliner at home at am more comfortable that way. I have a hard time sleeping lying down. But even if you don't go deep in the woods, if your able to, maybe try the way I do things. Not the greatest as far as camping goes, but I enjoy it. Hopefully, things will work out for you. Another place I go to, just to get away, is my friend has 10 acres of wooded land and I can go out there if I want. And it's not too far from home. Good luck man.

Luke, your drone shots were amazing in this video! They are always beautiful but what a perfect 4th of July experience..as you said! Thank you for that. We always learn something and thoroughly enjoy your adventures. Strength and honor dear Luke, you are the man...

You have respect for the forest, and you always have a neat and organized campsite you leave a site as you found it, neat and clean, your locations are beautiful your videos are a good teaching tool. Be safe out there and God protect you and your family

Love your videos young man. I really appreciate you taking time to take us on camping trips. I am 78 and get around very good. These videos give me great enjoyment. Thank you.

Thanks Luke. Beautiful scenery as usual. Thanks for taking the time to take shots, position the camera, all the extra steps you take to do so, to give me a real experience of the forest and the views. It is truly appreciated. I am disabled now and so I can’t walk into places that you take me so it’s good to get out and experience nature again. Thank you so much. Love and hugs to you, Susie and the kids. Hugs from Australia ❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️

Luke, thank you for sharing another great adventure with us all.

Luke, you really captured every aspect of nature in this adventure. The peace and the power. Excellent footage, music and editing. Incredible sunset and sunrise visuals. I could see, hear, feel, smell, and almost taste the outdoors on this adventure. You are extremely fortunate. Congrats

Spending a week with my folks in the area of Little Switzerland. Haven’t. Been to their cabin in 11 years and it’s your videos that reminded me of how much I loved my years in the mountains. Enough KZread, time to tune back in to the creek and the birds.

I am always very happy that you share your awesome trips! You put your videos together so well and the cinematography is outstanding. Thank you once again for the journey.

I love hearing the birds chirp in the background. Can't physically do what you do but love going with you vicariously!

Luke, I have to say first, I'm not an outdoorsy person. Never hiked, camped, or "roughed it" so to speak. BUT, I am intrigued watching you and your adventures and style of staying in the wild. Your videos give me peace and tranquility and I now wished when I was a younger person I had given camping a chance. When one of your videos come up, I can't wait to watch it. You are a good man full of strength and honor. Thanks for all your hard work bringing us such wonderful videos.

Amazing community of gifted and entertaining outdoorsman, and we're lucky to have you!

Luke 7:14 thou shall not waste wood , I’m sure by now you know Lilly use’s that wooden structure for many years now and rarely waste materials, you also pointed out branches in a pile , or something to that effect, people sometimes camp in the same spot and just did some advanced prep work to save time , I enjoy your videos very much,but sometimes you toot your own horn , I look forward to the next video 👍

That sunrise soundtrack! My goodness what was it!? The shot and music gave me goosebumps.

Awesome ,👍, the way you edited your music with this was incredible. Years ago, my son's dad and I always hiked rode motorcycle and camped and fished. He's gone now and my son and I hike in a place Allegheny State Park. But unfortunately drugs and alcohol has been his storm for many years now. I miss him,"our times". Hiking even when he was very young, he's 45 now. Seeing and hearing your nature on your hikes I find those past moments in my memories and in my heart

Thanks for respecting the outdoors. Well done

Thank you Luke for such a simply gorgeous and inspiring video. The thunderstorm and lightning were so exciting and the dawn was so beautiful it made me cry. IT WAS PERFECT! What more could I ask for, apart from being there. Unfortunately I am severely disabled so it will never happen - but your amazing video is the next best thing. I will definitely be re-watching it!

Always a joy when you take us along no matter what the weather. Best channel on youtube!!!

Amazing footage. Talk about being at one with Nature!

Thank you, Luke, for taken your time to show me another video I enjoy this video you share with me thank you again I can't wait for next video to come

LOVE THE sky videos and Especially the Music along with them. FANTASTIC.... DON'T CHANGE A THING & PLEASE KEEP SHOWING THEM!!!!

Thank you Luke, appreciate you my friend, stay safe and take care 🇺🇲🙏Strength and Honor

When I found you're site and I heard the rain on that tarp, my heart did a flip, memories from my youth.

That sky view was amazing 👏

Been waiting for the new one! 👍 This one looks awesome. The thunderstorm videos are my favorites..

I really needed this get away in the woods camping, Thanks for taking us with you, I myself need to get out of the city where I live in Ontario Canada, and I know the woods is the place I need to go to clear my mind . Cant wait love these videos of yours their an inspiration to get out and enjoy . Epic footage of the storm system , Lightning and hearing the thunder , wish we could get that where I am have not seen rain in 3 months . I guess that brought the 4th of July in with a big bang. Awesome Susie and you were able to get together with your son very nice , Thanks again for an excellent video. Ontario.

Did so enjoy natures light show with the music. So soothing and relaxing.

I love your channel and watch every video that you put out so I feel like I need to make a comment on a comment you made the camp photo you showed when you said some people hack up a whole forest to build a camp for one video that looked like survival Lilly's camp and she didn't build it for one video she actually goes there quite a bit and that is on her family's property and she is not the only one who uses it just a clarification keep up the amazing videos

Dear Luke, many thanks for this amazing video! I love such pictures from thunderstorms, sunrises and sunsets, everything from mother nature. That was great! Many greetings, yours Wolfgang.

Nothing beats the majesty of a strong cloud-to-cloud thunderstorm. Love their beauty.

Awesome editing Luke! I bet years from now you will be traveling the world making videos! Be safe my friend!

Lilly has been using that shelter for 6years, she adds a little every year or so and has probably made a hundred videos in and around it. The only reason that she didn't build a cabin on the private land is Code restrictions . With you on the werewolves though lol.

Slightly off topic but you struck a nerve in me, a nerve that is nearly constantly being tweaked by our government. So I leave this comment in hopes to spur on thought. You said that she would build a cabin on PRIVATE land but can not because of BUILDING CODES. The thought also goes to prove that we DO NOT own the land that we claim to.

Love a good lightening & thunderstorm. Best skeep ever. Thank you fir the honest reviews on your gear. I tak your advice very seriously about the good stuff. Stay safe Luke!

He was talking about the back pack being old school. The one I used back in the 70's was really old school. No compartments or pockets. Was about 3 1/2 feet tall. I would keep my sleeping bag and clothes in trash bags then put them in the duffle bag, so they stayed dry in case of rain. I put my food and utensils in a fairly midsize storage bin and carried them between the clothes and sleeping bag. I did a lot of hitch hiking around the country back then. When it was cool to do it. I had two tarps I always carried with me, in case of rain coming in, I would find a spot to set one up to get out of the elements. These days I am 63 so there is no sleeping on the ground anymore. I usually camp in a state or county park and find me a spot off away from everyone. I put the tarps up over the bed of my truck and use a lawn lounge chair, that is a lot like a recliner, and I set everything up to sleep in the bed of my truck. I do not like tents as I get a bit claustrophobic in them. I like sleeping outdoors with the breeze. I have a couple of Gas One one burner stoves I bring along. Even though I don't go way out in the woods like I used to back in the day, I still really enjoy getting out into nature, even if it's in some state park. Like I said, I usually try to get off away from everyone. But these are great videos. A lot better than some I have seen. Keep em' coming, man.

Have to say...the birds and crickets in the background sound heavenly!!!! Birds are happy that sing like that....,so calming 🏵️

What a beautiful sunrise! I enjoy your camping adventures.

I think it is OK to clear out the debris and dead wood in any area. That helps prevent forest fires because it denies the fire, material to burn. As an avid camper, I always make sure that I have more than enough firewood because the adage is, "If you think you have enough firewood for the night, gather more." Even if you don't use it, the next guy would appreciate it. In your video, you DO NOT have enough firewood. Not unless you plan on burning 1 stick per hour.

One of my favorite videos of yours, stunning, the thunder, dark clouds, and sweeping epic music. Tony has a great friend and teacher in you should he ever decide to put music in his videos 🎀🙋‍♀️🥳!!!

This has to be one of your most beautiful episodes! It was so fantastic 😍😍!! The clouds and your music 🎵🎶 choices bravo...so peaceful!!!

Luke you got some simply amazing shots this episode, well done.

Hi Luke, another awesome trip! Beautiful sunrise! Thanks for taking us along.

Wow! That pre-sunrise shot was spectacular! Another awesome adventure, truly enjoyable. I love your style of backpacking. You would have made a great instructor for the military outdoors training. As a survival and buddy care instructor myself I would have proudly served with you. I love how you express common sense and your knowledge of gear is exceptional. Your judgment regarding camp fires is above reproach. Lightning storms beat fireworks displays everytime. BTW that poncho use on your tent netting is a great idea of improvising.

I enjoy how you make the videos more about the experience more then the gear that your reviewing

Luke, out of the hundreds of channels I subscribe to, you and Susie are my number one. Looking forward to seeing Susie out with you soon!

It's always a pleasure... having my coffee with LUKE... Even thou he does drink some strange mixtures... WOW... lol. Peace and be safe.

That was very beautiful. Even with the fog, it is the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen

Yes, used to watch lightning almost like that when i was younger... Thanks for the reminder!!! VERY COOL DRONE SHOTS

Hi from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures no matter what happens. When I am do 1754 re-enactment and sleeping in a canvas wall tent and over hang ( the porch) I love the sound of rain on the canvas wall tent

Excellent videography - storm and fireworks. Thank you!

I love the magnificence of the lightning behind the clouds compared to the tiny flickers of the man made fireworks…the warmth of the sunrise…the depths of colors inside the forest. I appreciate your stewardship, protecting the forest. IMHO it’s hard to beat a tarp. Have you ever taken an Amok Draumr hammock in those beautiful trees? Not as hard on a man’s back. Kentucky

The lightning and the sunrise drone footage are some of my favorite shots. Well done.

What an Awesome video Luke! Really enjoyed the natural fireworks show! Thanks so much! Skippy

That sound of the crickets. So peaceful

I sure do like camping in a crazy storm. It makes it so much to watch the storm. So the whole family has the super big smiles. How nice

Awesome thunderstorm capture and fantastic drone shots Luke!

The spring of 2021, I went camping, and camped on the bluff just East of the Mississippi River. Had a pretty big thunderstorm just West of the River. That was an awesome light show that night.

Thanks again Luke, for a pleasant evening, yet again. 🇬🇧💖🙏

It's always a pleasure watching adventures with you. I live out here in New Mexico and for the most part its dry and i love the green in the videos and I appreciate you guys taking care of our land Mother Earth. Be safe my friend.

The video you shot with your drone was incredible!! Plus your view of the skyline with the lightning and fireworks was just as impressive. Thanks for sharing!!

Always enjoy TOGR videos. I find them soothing and relaxing. Reminds me of when I was a boy scout and how I enjoyed camping out. Watch them at bedtime .

There is something special about this filming that makes me very relaxed and comfortable, thank you for making this, everytime I get stressed out I come here to watch this, thank you and stay safe

I had to stop watching on my phone and cast it to my TV to capture those drone shots, amazing.

Great video! Loved the footage of the storms and perfect choice of music to go with it. Thanks for all you do!

the view of lightning with that mellow music is absolutely beautiful,I could watch that 15 second clip on repeat for hours lol. as always production is on point! great job Luke

The creme de la creme of outdoor channels. Most others try to imitate while you continue to innovate...

Beautifull sky and scenery footage Luke, love it very much...

I love going on these trips with you. You give such good advice about camping. I have camped most of my life my parents lovedvit,loved it, I got married my 3 sons loved to camp. Keep taking ms places it's so relaxing. 👌

I love that movie Silver Bullet. It was one of my favorites as a kid. Never knew it was filmed in NC though. Sounds like I actually lived fairly close to where the movie was filmed. Thanks for the info Luke!

Shitting on Survival Lily's base camp she built years ago and uses all the time. damn.

I don’t know if you’ve ever tried it, but I use this every time I go night fishing or camping to start a fire. Take a few cotton balls, cover them I need vasoline, and store in a ziploc bag. When you need to start a fire, they will burn for several minutes to get a fire started. Plus the best part is that they are very light weight, and you can use the vasoline to help remove a tick if you get bit by one.

That Drone footage with the sun in the background was unbelievable with the clouds below it! Beautiful sight!

Hello Luke. Thank you for the extended approaching lightning storm part of the video. Amazing and awesome.

There's no way I could keep up with you in the woods, or anywhere else for that matter. You walk through the woods with the determination of a man on a mission!! I used to be like that, but age has robbed me of the strength and coordination I once had in my legs. I just can't do it anymore, but I do enjoy watching you dive into the various places you go. Thanks for sharing your experiences and adventures with us humans.

I think i like these adventures the most. I also like the MRE reviews and building/ renovating videos.

Luke👍💪 Nice adventure, thanks for the trip. The lightning show was awesome, captured perfectly multiple times. Tarp and tent is #1 in my book, all weather, all seasons. All was glorious including the weather, just enough rain to make the air cool and smell good. Great filming as usual and well presented, thanks. Take care, see you next time. Enjoy!

Whats better than the sunday afternoon and watching your videos.

Beautiful views! Thank You so much for sharing!

Absolutely stunning scenery. Great video

18:16 this reminds me of one of my experiences. There was a favorite campsite I found off trail over a decade ago. I returned there every winter for several years, then fell off a little. Last year I went back to find someone/group cut down several green 5-6inch trees and lashed them together with bank line. Not only that, they had four separate fire pits all next to trees which could damage the roots of the nearby trees. The only trace of me was a pit I made that was away from the trees and was surrounds by rocks. Felt like I was camping around litter.

Its gotten to the point where I hit the like button before watching the video. I always enjoy the rain and storm vids. :)

Luke I enjoyed this trip. One of your best IMHO. You went cross country and made decisions as you travelled. Keep it up. Thank you!

Lol. You're right. I loved Silver Bullet. As a kid, I'd walk in the woods everywhere, sometimes forget the time, and be in the woods when dark fell. Thank God I knew the trails at night, because the least noise I'd be off like a shot, heart and legs pumping, for what seemed like miles. Sweat pouring down my face, legs and arms all scratched up, until I hit the road, settle down under the street light and get my breath. I'd shame myself. But, it the woods, alone after dark, 12 years old, it was real, haints were lurking out there, somewhere.

I named my son Taiga after the vast forest also learned it means big river in Japanese and I grew up along grizzly country Yukon River (at that upper point). Thank you for sharing to me and my 18 yo son.

love the time lapse of the storms rolling in....NICE addition!

Red sunrise in the morning is a sailors warning! Red sunset at night is a sailors delight!😃
