Right, I also doubt many people would consider a mild winter Lame. That is why we all enjoy Luke and his attempt to push the limits adventures.

No, he left because the weather was worse. That and he planned very poorly setting up camp without a nearby water source and relying on it to maybe snow for water. Definitely not best practices. I love Luke and this channel but not his finest hour imo.

Luke thanks 😊 🙏 for sharing the trip inspite of the disappointment of no snow you took with a slight blow to the chin no big deal, thought you and Susie was funny 😄 with the serious moves 🤣 😂 😆. It's nice to alway look forward to the out of the ordinary 😀 😄 👍 😊.

I always enjoy your reels. 82 years old and still love adventure❤️

Owl to Luke: GET OUTTA MY YARD!

16:19 owls owls like to follow you through the woods while walking at dusk and dawn. they do this not because they're interested in the person, but what you might scare up in the underbrush. i love watching them go from tree to tree watching the forest floor for mice snakes or whatever else might be there. when they see something they can grab they're super quick to snatch it up and head back to their favorite branch to eat.

And he is always close to his truck. So he really isn't major miles out in the wilderness.

I personally don’t care that much about hiking camping and stuff, but watching this guy , what he goes through in order to be professional is cool and relaxing and obviously inspiring

If I was stranded in the middle of nowhere,there’s no one who I would like to have with me is you Luke . I know that I would come out safe and sound ,say hello to Suzi from me , john from Sheffield in England Great Britain UK . I thoroughly enjoy watching your adventures great stuff my friend,and I look forward to seeing more of your videos,all the best mate

When we lived in Colorado we were in Boulder, just at the foot of the mountains. My first couple of weeks there I struggled with the altitude and when we went up the mountains that was a whole different scenario. Living in the UK we are at sea level, Boulder is a mile above and then 10,000 feet up the mountain, phew. 😳

In Moncton, NB, Canada the big storm we had in the winter of 1992 dropped 5 1/2 feet of snow. Drifts completely covered houses. For weeks after, all the sidewalks were tunnels and store spray painted their names on the snow so people could find the stores.

I LOVE the sound of the owls at night. One of my favorite nature sounds.

Awesome as always Luke. Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures. That's what I like about you your honesty and your seriousness but yet you're hilarious 😂 at the same time bahahaha, ya had me cracking up. 🤣 love y'alls dancing 💃 😆 🤣 😂 KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS Y'ALL KEEP DANCING 🤗HUGS🤗

I swear the sound of a zipper on a tent is one of my favourite sounds. It just says relaxation and family time to me.

Providing coffee *is* a form of love.

1993 was a terrible year Glad to here how well you all were cared for..America when it tries can get it so right.

what you did with the owl howling sound and the music is sooo damn tight ( meaning really good ) . i can't wait to see the storm lol. we had only 1 to 2 inch in where i live ... yeah wasn't exciting but , i thought of you when the storm was coming down . that was a couple of days ago .

I found your channel right before the pandemic hit because I was ramping up my outside time and I found your gear reviews helpful. I also found them more informative and enjoyable to watch during the pandemic than the trash on TV. Thanks to you and your channel I've had several comfortable backcountry overnights.

Man, hearing a tree or big limb crash down near your tent would be nerve-wracking.

I love owls and to hear one hoot WOW!! That owl sounds right above you.

Hahaha, that dance interlude was hilarious! I wonder if Suzie snuck it in there without Luke knowing? LMAO.

I love to hear owls hoot a real treat my friend Thanks alot Luke.

I find quite amazing how all those different objects you were using during the camping fit in that backpack and, while no doubt it was heavy, you were easily able to walk from and to the vehicle with it. The joys of lightweight materials.

We appreciate you just as much as you appreciate us, its a two way street, pretty much thats the way life way life goes, sometimes it's uphill, othertimes it's downhill. Thanks for all the advice you offer.

I love the owls hooting at us! They are the guardians of the woods and know everything

Luke, nice to see you again, no snow what you want only got freezing rain but you had a good camping you were warm in your sleeping bag and you got a good night sleep

Best part of this video is the appreciation ❤ I LOVE IT and will continue to watch

Ohhhh I REMEMBER that storm....a foot of snow in MY state was absolutely unheard of. I lost power for like a week. Totally snowed in, only heat was from a gas powered oven with a cracked window, bathtub full of snow with frozen meat, milk eggs and other stuff jammed into a bathroom with no heat since the fridge was in the heated area. That storm had no name, but it will forever live in my memory as the blizzard of 93.

The comments after the credits and the dancing at 47:01 are amazing haha thank you for everything you do for us viewers Luke, you're the man!

I love your channel Luke, especially, your honest review,on crap,that I'll never buy.but also some good reviews,and it's snowing,all over,2 days ago we had snow in Las Vegas.un herd off,and California, snowing, snowing everywhere,we love it in vegas cause it is so rare. Keep up the great work. 🇺🇲🇮🇹.

I live in a rural area and have an owl in my yard. In the evening, he follows my cat around because she runs mice out of the equipment shed and they run from her in the pasture. Between my cat and the owl, I never have mice in the house!

I can never say it enough! I love this guy and his channel 😁😁😁

You should melt the ice for extra drinking water. The owl is cool. Hello from snowy Minnesota. Love your channel ❤

Hilarious ending! What a cold video to watch... glad you enjoy those wild camping trips so we can just watch from a warm home.

Living in Australia, I didn’t know what ice rain was until after watching this adventure

I had our scouts up in the mountains presumably the same weekend near Panthertown. When we started to have trees and branches coming down we bugged out at 1AM, hiked a few miles back out, and ended up at a wafflehouse at 4 AM. Highlight of their weekend and I'm sure they talked about it all week with their friends. #BePrepared #AdaptOvercome

All cosied up watching .... I really look forward to seeing you and Susie on another trip. The longer films are great. Feels like we are there with you. Thankyou❤🇬🇧

Hello from Oklahoma! I love your videos! Especially camping in storms. Keep'em coming.

Yes, to hear that owl while you're camping is cool. It's another story when you hear it home and you have a few chickens that insist on roosting in a tree instead of the coop.

The flashback 😅 pure gold 👌

The impressive barred owl. Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all? Love their song.

Hi, Suzy and Luke! We have had weather hypothesis tell us we were gonna have snow, too. I live in Missouri. We had about an inch or 2 for Christmas. That was it! My rose bush is trying to green up. Too early. Disappointed! Boo...no snow! How is your little family? I hope you all are so blessed! Hope for snow um...let's see...next year?

Seeing you strike the wooded match made me relive my childhood. The old Farmers Matches with the white tips, my brother and I had an air pellet rifle and stuck the match down inside the rifle with tip going in last, gave it 3 pumps and shoot at trees, garage and concrete and the match would make a huge bang. I was at Cherry Point MCAS North Carolina in that storm of 1973. I counted at least 24 cars and trucks in the ditch on the way to Base. There was at least a half dozen Chevrolet Corvettes ( mostly Officers vehicles) in the ditch. My Squadron was the only Squadron to work and we used a RF-4B & EA-6A TO CLEAR THE SNOW SO WE COULD WORK. When they turned up the engines of those planes huge chuncks of snow flew out. It was a crazy day.

I so look forward to your videos. I am 78 years old. I can't get around very well. I loved camping. Did a lot when me and husband was younger. He passed away a year ago. So young man you give us older ones a great joy watching your videos. This is my 3rd year. God bless you and your wife.

Thank you Luke and Suzie for being a friend to all of us people out here. Thank you for what you do. Thank you for not trying to sell us stuff. You understand how it can be. All your adventures make me so happy and I can't wait to go and have a safe adventure myself. Just wish I wasn't alone on that. Maybe could you or Suzie do a video for people who are solo all the time? Like what things would be safe for a solo person. And for a solo woman that wants to go out camping? I see Suzie do it but not sure I have as much knowledge as she does. Thanks in advance. Maybe she could do a video for us solo ladies.

Really beautiful piece of work. One of the very best of your camping videos.

Thank you Luke for what you do! S&H

I really love your channel It's not boring to watch and your stories are great. You are also a very kind soul. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I could watch them over and over and still enjoy it. You and your channel are the best.

I watch your videos all the time & learn so much. Stay warm!!!

Barred Owls keeping you company, great 👍!

You are so right Luke Ice storms are very dangerous. Here in East Texas 2 weeks ago we had a huge ice storm that weighed down the gigantic oak trees so heavily not only did their branches shatter like glass and they completely up rooted crashing down on cars homes etc.

WOW! I’m 6 hours north of you in SW Pa and our overnight temperature was increasing throughout the night into the 50s. Right now its 69 degrees! Crazy weather patterns.

Thanks to you Sir that I can live through you doing this.

My whole family love watching you and Suzie. Keep on doing what you are doing....we love it!

You should give out the forecast. It tells us what you think the weather is going to be and we can see how you adapt to a difference.

Luke, you are a walking encyclopedia. Full of important safety information. Appreciate you do much sharing.

In our part of Ky we have predicted snow, rain, severe weather that often never happens. Not complaining, have just learned to prepare for the worst and wait and see. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else though, lol. Enjoy your adventures, thanks for sharing :)

LUKE, WHAT A GREAT SET UP!!! I love love love putting my tarp just a bit over my tent, leaving enough to get in and out of the tent and be dry. Way to go man!!!

Love the videos. Hope you and Suzie are doing great. Hope your kids are doing great too. Thank for all the entertainment and information. Love and health for you all.

You really aggravate the weather gods! I think they have it in for you, Luke. Fortunately, you are one tough dude! It's great fun to virtually camp with you. Thanks for such excellent content!

You shouldn’t be bummed out because of snow. We enjoy watching every trip.

Big snow storms in North Carolina have been scarce this year. I recognized that Hilleberg Soulo as soon as you began to stake it out & assemble the 3 poles. You definitely have "shelter" you can depend on to keep you dry tonight, a tent thats going to stand up to most anything Mother Nature can throw at it. You couldn't have selected a better shelter for the wind/rain you are expecting. This is truly 5-Star accommodations out in the boonies. This is THE first time I've seen anyone pitch a Soulo & cover it with a tarp. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

Very nice adventure and great ending, best regards Luke!

Cheers to you Luke! Thanks for all the work you do to keep us entertained!

Really love this feeling of comfort and shelter when it storms outside. Makes peaceful to know your protected even it is hailing outside. Enjoy your videos please do carry on 😊😊😊

Thank you so much for sharing this adventure. I look forward d to them every week. Take care, best wishes to you and Susie!

Great video...I live in the northeast Georgia mountains..in the blizzard of 93 we woke up to 38 inches of snow on the ground...1 week later we had another 11 inches of snow...another week later we had another 6 inches....we were without power for over 2 weeks...thank God for wood stoves...plus each snow had some ice with it...we will always remember that one....love your channel...freedom for all people...

😂❤I always Love Going Camping with Cool Hand Luke 😊😊❤❤

We had an ice storm in Michigan yesterday and all night. I'm surrounded by huge trees and now I have huge limbs on my garage, in my backyard, and one fell on my roof. Then today we have 50 degree weather and it was pouring in my yard without the rain. I've never seen anything like it!

Thanks for expanding the world of so many of us who can't manage it ourselves. Stay safe.

I love your videos. I can stay in and watching your adventures. With my health condition it hard for me to leave my apartment

I live in the tropics. glad I don't live where you are. but I love your videos. when I was young, I did what you do. at 71, I do the tropics.

Luke👍👍 Just what we've come to expect, camping in inclement weather. Not your fault though, mother nature does have a say so. Having stew in a bag isn't my thing, but if you're happy that's what counts. Nice tent for this outing, good to see a quality product in use. Pouring water into your pot/cup while it's on the stove drives me crazy, but hey, if no mishaps, go for it. I love black pepper, have pounds of peppercorn from allover the world, fresh ground makes food so good IMO. Good move getting out of there, no fun..but such a good watch. Great video, well done and filmed as all ways, thanks for the trip. See ya next time.. Enjoy!

Nice flash-back, took me to the late 70's!

The Barred Owl, commonly called the Hoot Owl, is very common in our parts of the Carolinas. I have 2 nested pairs that are around our home and some mornings when I leave for work, 0515, they will be talking to each other. I can call them up and they will come to investigate the sound. They are very territorial and don't like hoots they don't know.

very little snow and ice is a good thing :)

That looked like an amazing adventure and I have to say it, please don't take offense, but that is possibly the longest that i've seen you without a coffee. Please keep entertaining us with these great adventures.

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your adventures and equipment testing

Of course we are still here. Always. A And Super happy you made it home safe.and you may want to check in on some disco dancing classes.😂🤣🤣🤣

I agree with you. This winter has been lame. I live in Central Maine and the majority of "storms" have been sleet or freezing rain. And any snow we get is pathetic at best. At least how real snow storms used to be lol

Absolutely love your channel ❤️❤️❤️

That ending though. Glad I usaually stick around for the tunes! LOL

I really don't know how your videos keep getting better, but they do. Love the flashback!!

In the White mtns in New England their were a lot of people rescued this year. There's not a lot of snow in Massachusetts this year. Great adventures.

Love the owl calls. I've heard them when camping. Our community is heavily forested. It's a treat to sit on the deck and hear owls. Have you ever used some kind of rain collection to extend water supply?

Your trip may have been a mess, but you were a very bright spot amidst the storm. 🥰❤👍

My ❤️ goes out to Susie , my wife suffers from terrible elevation sickness ! The same thing happen we've lived at sea level most of our adult lives going up into the mountains is one of my favorite things to do ! My best friend gets so sick it's not worth going 😓!
