    Cold weather camping is the best. No mosquitoes , ticks or yellow flies. No snakes. Nature is yours for the most part. Having a fire to keep warm instead of sweating around. Makes it feel more like survival than camping.

Then once you have all the 'bugs' worked out, hit your week long adventure. And after you do you adventure, let us all know how it went! ! ! Good luck and safe travels

    I don't remember seeing that kettle before he reviewed it, and he said he tested it for a couple months. My guess would be that the last couple camping videos were shot before the review, and there will likely be a few more with that kettle. He probably keeps a backlog of camping videos in case life doesn't allow him to get out in the forest for a while A review would be relatively simple to shoot and edit. A video like this would take a ton of time, which of course isn't always going to be available.

    Thank you for this video. Looks like you found a very interesting campsite after a walk in that took you through some exceptionally beautiful terrain. I agree that wind is the one hazard that scares me most. When the wind is high, you can stay out in the open and hope that the wind chill does not get you, or you can huddle in the forest and hope that 60-foot tall, 18" tree does not blow over onto you.

    General camping advice is to have your camp kitchen at least 200 ft from your tent and to never eat inside your tent. Bears have an excellent sense of smell so just in case they or any other animal smells your food they won't be drawn to your tent but instead to the camp kitchen. It's a safety measure.

    Around here, the pine trees are the opposite of protection in winds. Shallow root system,..fragile species = lots of widow makers. In some local parks, they shut down for that reason. You can tell by how things look in a forest. Some trees actually drop branches in large numbers on purpose as a defense mechanism against competition from other vegetation below. It'll look like a war zone underneath, lol. Just throwing that out for those interested in such things. Another good one here. I'm sure you inspire a lot of folks to head outdoors. Cheers. 👍

    This was my first thought as well. Trees here don't make good shelters. We just got some trees removed from near our house because they were dropping large limbs on the house and caused damage to the roof. I would not want that near a tent.

    @@saragruber1019 Really good idea to clear them away from your property. Around here,...seems every year someone has a giant pine crash through their home. And yes,..people have lost their lives. It doesn't take much wind either when the soil is heavily saturated from rain. Cheers.

    General camping advice is to have your camp kitchen at least 200 ft from your tent and to never eat inside your tent. Bears have an excellent sense of smell so just in case they or any other animal smells your food they won't be drawn to your tent but instead to the camp kitchen. It's a safety measure.

    Hi Luke yet another good post, it was interesting to see you using that Ridge monkey kettle which you slated a few weeks back, the one you wouldn't recommend to anyone, you know the one with the small filler! you had no trouble pouring your water in through that small hole from your bottle. then that small spout! looks like you had a very controlled pour there! you had no trouble with water level as you poured enough water in for 2 cups, the other thing was you said about was the water spilling out as you poured, no sign of it there and you had filled the kettle up. the only other thing you said was about the lid slipping inside the kettle, yes i will give you that, if you don't use that free space! with mine i put my packs of coffee, powdered milk, sugar, and packets of hot chocolate, the lid doesn't fall in then and you utilised that free space. so maybe as it is not an American product it is not as bad as you made out?

    I have been a hunter for 20 years and I love the outdoors. I’ve only went camping a few times. I’ve always wanted to get into it. More Seriously just never did): over the years but of the hunting I’ve been caught in serious weather. Some cases lightning or 70 to 80mph winds in the woods where trees could come down at any moment I’ve been in tornado warnings to snowstorms all in the same day or on separate occasions I’ve been in tropical storms or low level hurricanes. In the outdoors when I lived in Florida I have experienced a lot of what nature has to offer But I’ve never got to experience the camping aspect a few times And I’ve always been quite interested in what you do. I watch a lot of camping people. But you are by far my favorite. And I truly mean that. Watch a lot of KZread channels. And I can’t sell out my friends/ co KZreadrs. But your videos are the perfect before bed. Always have been. And I’m writing this as I’m about to go to sleep lol 😂 Keep it going man be proud of what you do (: Proud subscriber of the channel for at least 3 or maybe 4 years

    I dislike those channels that unbox an item, maybe used once, give a review about how amazing the item is (including a discount code) and then you never ever have a follow-up on how the product really performs over time. I've stopped following those channels. I prefer your approach of initial impressions, first tests, then if required review after multiple uses. It's a good honest approach.
