When my twin sister and I were pretty young, daddy would take us fishing at a creek in Bloomfield, Kentucky. Lots of bluegill and bass. I remember being cold and daddy building a good warm fire. Seeing the peaceful expression on his face was mesmerizing. The glow of the light from the fire, and the smells from the water, grass, and coffee was so wonderful. That is what started my absolute love of the outdoors. I’m 63 and still love camping, campfires, cooking on the fire. I love the peace and quiet!

Your father sounds like a great man by my standards at least. Thanks for sharing this inspirational and heartwarming memory.

For anyone thinking about this tent and out off by this review. I bit the bullet and got one anyway. And it was performed perfectly. It's been up for about 2 weeks straight outside through all weather conditions and I've not had any problems or leaks whatsoever.

Your pride for your kids shines bright,my friend. That is delightful to see

My passion for hiking came when I was a Youngster. My family is one of the largest free range, grass-fed, cattle producers in Washington State. So we used to build and fix a lot of fence. I found out really early that I didn't like horses at all. So I would hike fence line with what I needed to do the initial fix if I could and if I couldn't I would tell my cousin's where everything was at. I was hiking five or six miles in a day with 30 or 40 pounds or gear as a twelve-year-old kid. And that spurned my love of hiking. After I got older I would do overnights out in the field fixing fence by myself at like 15 16 years old in the middle of nowhere in South Central Washington state. In the foothills of the Cascades. I have hiked Hundreds and hundreds of miles in those mountains. And I love hiking to this day. I am 45 years old. So basically my dislike of horses is what gave me the love of hiking. So many awesome trips by myself in the middle of nowhere scared to death cuz of coyotes, wolves, and many other things that go bump or howl in the night. Taught me the meaning of bravery, self-sufficiency, and just what a man, or in my case, a young boy can do on his own.

Another great outdoor adventure Luke. One of the things I like about your channel is every adventure suitable for entry level outdoors people but yet advanced enough to hold the interest of experienced hikers/campers.

And happy birthday little Luke 🎂

Great video again, thank you. I had to remember how we were as children, first pioneers and later, after Velvet revolution, because we just enjoyed going to hike around the ruins of old castles. I send many greetings from the Czech Republic. When I was a boy, country was called Czechoslovakia.

Luke: " I have done it! My kids are all grown up." Luke walks in the door from this trip, Susie: " Luke, Honey, I have some news for you." 😂

My old man wanted to be Grizzly Addams, so he took me to the mountains all the time when I was a kid. My favorite TV show growing up was Wild America with Marty Stouffer. Nowadays I live in an RV so I can camp full time.

I love the "easy to be satisfied" comment. When I was a kid I only really got to go camping in the winter. So even if you didn't like oatmeal or spam on a day when its cold (coldest we camped was I think -18 degrees f) anything warm tastes great.

My first outdoor hike was in the gatlinburg area and I was about 10 years old and I slipped on a mossy rock and it knocked me out cold! Been doing it ever since.

Good speech Luke! My 18th birthday is almost exactly 6 months after this video was published. I feel like what you had to say about advocating for yourself applies to me a lot, and it's a lesson I'm learning quickly.

When I was very young there was one time I remember staying in a camper with my whole family while my dad was following the seasonal need to sheer sheep. Later, I spent some time at an aunt's house up in the mountains of Idaho, just chasing lizards and playing with clay. Basically running wild. All this before I even started kindergarten.

Most kids today won't have such beautiful memories of their childhood. It will be more about how many likes or followers on social media they got..technology is a wonderful thing, but I can't help but think life was a bit better back then. Thanks for sharing your memories with us, sparked a few of my own on a chill Sunday morning.

Grew up on the family’s 115 acre farm surrounded by woods and other farms. I’m also an Eagle Scout......so I spent a lot of time outdoors growing up. Got away from it all once I got married, with only a few camping trips. Really only started getting back into it, now that I’m single, in the past few years (now 48 yrs old). The thing I have to get over is the noises. Every little twig dropping and my over active mind goes crazy. Found I love hiking recently with family located near the Superstitions. It ruins it for me coming back to Michigan after a vacation. I did a 10 day back packing trip when I was 15 in New Mexico. What an awesome time.

I get my passion for the outdoors from my grandfather and my father. My dad passed away a few months ago and so next year I'm taking my 17 year old son to hike the windrivers in my dads honor. It was the first hike he ever took me on at just 8 years old. The trail is part of the CDT, but we are only doing about 6 miles to Dads Lake (yes that's the name of the lake) because my health isn't what it used to be and that was my dads "secret" fishing spot. ❤

My passion for camping and hiking came from my dad. My mom was always with us too she enjoyed going camping and hiking also. I have spent most of my life camping and hiking and I always enjoyed it.

Cub Scouts. Finding arow heads and geodes. Got my knife patch and held the ceremony at the Wilson school gym when I was 6 years old when the Cub master handed me my Cub scout knife. I still have it to this day. Been hiking and camping ever since. Born in 63.

Happy birthday Lucas. Keeping your daughter in my prayers. My nephew is in the Navy. He's on his way to Bahrain. Keep up the great work on the reviews.

I actually nearly bought this tent. Glad I decided to wait it out. If you could kindly send some of that rain to Oregon, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Happy birthday Luke 18 wow your journey has just begun, enjoy the ride. Thanks luke i appreciate you and your honest reviews. Other youtubers push junk and do not do true test before they give reviews. Onetigris as a whole love it. They have unique tent designs which i love . I absolutely love my bushcraft bungalow 2 for the price it was a win win

I know this is 2 years old but I just saw it today. As a kid my parents took us camping. Me and my three brothers. I don't remember how old we were. It rained and rained and rained. I got double ear infections lol. So yes it was a memorable trip.

Hi Luke, the noodles you've eaten is indomee. An Indonesia brand of instant noodle that are meant to be eaten like a fried noodles. After you boil it for about 3 mins, you pour away the water, add in the seasoning, stir and enjoy.

My love of the outdoors came from growing up with a big backyard where I caught bees and grasshoppers. Oh, I collected worms when r was little too. 😀We also rode bikes all summer. Hiking on trails just came naturally from that.

my dad and my two uncles and a cousin would camp out at Thanksgiving and a week in December day after Christmas, we would camp out on the Bank on the Tombigbee River in West Alabama, the only sound we heard was train whistle and a tug boat , I will always remember those days with my dad !

This has been a great adventure. I really enjoyed seeing all of the products you tested and your initial comments on each.

Thanks for the review, Luke. I was considering buying one of these and now I reckon I'll hold back until your second review on its replacement. Tony (UK)

@@InimitaPaul I wouldn't trust any tent to keep my sleep system dry, if I did sleep in one, I would still take my bivvy bag for extra protection so it's not worth it for me, better off with a bivvy bag and tarp in the first place. Being in a small tent in the rain is miserable, whether it's leaky or not, if it's not a flysheet-first pitcher and it's raining when you pitch, your inner will get wet, furthermore you can't chance using a stove inside a tent so you can get cold...whereas with a bivvy bag, which is basically your inner, you are warmer when you sleep because there's less space to heat with your body, and under a tarp you can make various configurations and safely use a stove, even a twig stove or small fire, and stay cosy as well as having more living space.

Simon H How wrong you are fellow rain drop dodger! 😉 I pretty much exclusively go out in the three worst seasons as that’s my set up. I mainly use either my Luxe Minipeak XL with the collapsible hot stove or the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2, one keeps everything warm, dry and comfortable and the other has an attached inner so I’m good. You can actually quite safely have a small twig fire in a Bushbox in the vestibule entrance but it’s more suited to using the Jetboil MiniMo. Add the -6 UQG quilt and the Thermarest Neorest Xtherm pad and I don’t remember the last time I was chilly, even while I’m asleep with no stove going.

Rig a tarp over the tent or "scotchgard" the tent. lol The one trigris tent only has a 1500mm waterproof rating. Standard camping tents are rated at at least twice that water proofing.. Personally I wouldn't rely on one system for water protection if you're in a country that rains a lot. Also consider an additional groundsheet underneath the tent as a footprint.

Reading all these brilliant, idyllic stories has me so envious. Despite being a Reservist, my Dad never really took my sister & I out camping as kids; I had to discover my love of the bush well into adulthood. I always used to think I hated it, but it turned out I just hated being freezing + hungry + sleeping straight on the ground, which was the only way that my friends who had tried to get me involved always did it. Once I later discovered the existence of sleeping pads & that it wasn't a moral sin to bring whatever you needed to be actually _comfortable_ (I now own a Zero Gravity chair), I fell in love. I have different tents + gear ensembles for different durations + types of camp (my hike-in camping kit, my just-1-night car camping kit, my weekend car camping kit, & my 4-days-or-more car camping kit - as well as my expecting-a-storm camping kit). All my gear is colour coordinated + I'm unreasonably proud of it. I'm a foodie at home, so natch I'm obsessed with camp cooking; my Dutch oven skills are first-rate, if I do say so - & I also love playing trail chef, having fun with the challenge of coming up with properly complex + satisfying dishes within the confines of weight limits + lack of refrigeration. I love everything about being in the wild, & I only wish my good memories of it had started in my childhood, rather than my 30s. My Dad + I were super-close, & I wish we could have shared that together. (A moment of silence for the ex who tried _really_ hard to get me into it with him, as it was a large part of his life, + I did give it a go - but that was unfortunately _festival_ camping, & thus not my thing.)

Happy Birthday Lucus 🔥☕️🎂, Luke thank you for your honest reviews an hard work, much appreciated, take care, stay healthy an God bless you and your Family always. 👼🏻🇺🇸🔥☕️🇺🇸👼🏻👼🏻

I have to say, OneTigris is a pretty good company. Over the last couple years I have purchased their down patrol bag, Roamer backpack and Tangram tent and have only had one small issue with a half inch stitch. I used all three for a fishing trip last week and my only problems were the size of the fish I caught and that they didn't bite more often! There is a possibility of the chair and table making a return. On the co-op and testing site they will poll opinions on past products to bring back to market occasionally. Really is a shame about the lemon you got, looking forward to vigorous testing of its replacement.

I think it would be great to see an adventure with you and your brother! You could def outfit him with some gear for an overnight trip to lonewolf mtn!! I think that would be fun if he's cool with it ever.

Grew up on a farm and rode horses and went to the lake and river all the time I think how the cowboys especially lived with just their horses and saddle and saddle bags was my inspiration for adventures outside :)

Luke, you are awesome. I enjoy everything you do. I'm entertained and gain knowledge. Thank you.

Love watching this kind of videos. Especially when there’s rain...the sound of the rain, there’s something about it...relaxing of some sort...

When I was kid I was picked on quite a bit and would go to small patch of woods to get away from people. 30 yrs later I still go to that same area regularly. Not so safe to stay the night these days but its good place to cook, light bushcrafting and discover the varity of life there.

The eye of hurricane Sally passed over us. Man at the rain. I'm still working at getting the basement dry. I would much rather be camping. Lol

Rain always makes guy lines and tent material stretch - although cotton tents stretched more. After its been raining 15-20 minutes, you need to get out and tighten it all up. Don't forget, once the sun is up, to loosen them all, or something will part as they all dry out.

That stove is awesome btw. I love mine and it’s so nice not being stacked on top of the canister. It is so much more stable being separate and it works great. It’s a no brainer for $20

It looks like a good stove. How much does it weigh and how does it pack?

Hi Luke , I remember as a 12 year old going for an overnight tramp ( hike) and we were so deep in the bush , awesome bird life, the views would take your breath away. A song we would sing was... Away away with Billy and pack , we are folioing on the mountain track, we all will get lost and never come back in the Tararua ranges. The tararuas are the mountains at the back of Levin , in the north Island of New Zealand were I live. People have died as the weather can change very quickly, and as with all hicking , people dont prepare enough , they dont take extra cloths just in case and if they get lost they suffer from hypothermia and some die or have to be rescued by our search and rescue

Luke, my father, my brother and me go camping to the same mountain every 31 december since 1999. I think is perfect to put your ideas in order. Anyway I go camping more times in the year. Thank you for your channel.

I LOVE Frailty! Great movie. Love both actors. Great choice!

So I began my hiking love from my neighbor who is a big outdoorsy guy. My Mom and Dad loved car camping but I picked up the love from my neighbor as a kid. And as I got older and explored the woods near my house, and then started exploring the Adirondacks about 30 minutes from my house and caught the bug ever since!

That sucks that the tent leaked. I did a review of their Tigers Den this summer and after being left up for 2 days of light - heavy rain it was still bone dry inside. They started using a MUCH thicker and wider sealing tape after the Bungalow 1.0 failing like it did. I just started testing the Snugpak Venture Pile shirt and pants & 2nd Skinz base layers, and man are they warm! I wore them inside our -20° deep freezer at work and was completely comfortable! I'll also be testing their MONSTER -50°F Antarctica RE sleeping bag and Sasquatch jacket when it gets cold enough. As always, great vid brother, keep em coming! ~Chesapeake

Hi Luke! Better days ahead my friend! I love the storms and the night life...another great video. New gear is great. Happy Birthday Luke!

good for Lucas for standing up for himself. i loved the Colorado road trip I watched it twice, thanks for the nice pictures and the beautiful views.

Thank you for providing honest and unbiased gear reviews, and not thinly veiled infomercials unlike so many other "gear reviewers" on youtube.

I never have had the luxury of a car or van when out in the Scottish Highlands rough camping. My backup is a military tarp over my tent as here in Scotland we have 300; that is THREE HUNDRED DAYS, of rain each year. None of my tents have leaked in the interior but touching the doors of course allows some water to drip down inside and does not interfere with my sleeping bag or sleep. Dry bags and sea going waterproofs in all seasons! Without fail!

Love your family camping stories and your equipment reviews are fantastic 😃

Watching your videos is making me want to go camping. Gear is important when wanting to venture out like this, even if I have not done it for a very long time. Thanks for showing us about great gear and recommendations for our trips. This is really what is needed.

Happy birthday to your son. Love your work thanks for the info. Love tent and gear reviews. If you have time a overland trip with setup and gear review would be nice to see.

A leaking tent is an absolute no-go. A good tent has to be a good shelter at bad weather too. With large space, good vestibules and good air circulation. Making of tough material, easy to setup, and reliable.

Luke you and your family are awesome and your vids are inspiring. It’s really a sad situation here in Northern California between the pandemic and all the fires, but I always feel better after watching one of your vids.

The adventures is why I watch! Really liked this video !!! Thanks for all you do Luke! Can’t wait for the next one!

Rain and camping. no problem. As a river rat for 15+ years I use duct tape for all leaks very successfully. I even use it to plug leaks on my rafts to finish the float. .Ad a touch of glue on a small piece for extra seal. Quick-n-easy fix.

I grew up on a farm in Iowa. Luckily we lived near a fairly large wooded area, which is rare in the area we lived. I learned to read at an early age and one of my favorite books as a kid was "My Side of the Mountain" by Jean Craighead George. Long as the chores were done, I could go out fishing and exploring as much as I wanted.

Thanks so much for including the Dewalt chainsaw in this video! I didn't know it existed until I watched this video. I purchased one & the double battery pack with charger & carry bag. Last weekend I cut up a fallen oak tree trunk 10.5 inches to 10 inches diameter & 20 fee long into 1 foot logs along with a bunch of dead & seasoned branches that fell during a recent storm. I used one battery for approximately 3 1/2 hours until it ran out of power. I had to refill the bar oil tank once during that time. The clean up was a breeze & and the chain was still nice & sharp. I was amazed at how easily it worked through that oak log & how it made short work of the branches. This little wonder is now my go to chainsaw for the tree parts that fall after storms in the yard & for cutting back lower branches. I'm very impressed! Keep up the great work on your videos.

Growing up there were 6 of us that hung around together, there were woods in our neighborhood we would pack up and spend the day. There was a spot i think about to this day, it was a creek bed that had maybe 20 yards on each side and it sloped up hill both sides. You couldn't see what was past the slope. This creek bed cut through alot of farm land. I just remember how wide open it was and you felt like you were in the middle of no where. It was the type of woods you could see forever tons of vines to swing on. Very fond memories.

Really full episode. Thanks Luke. Some very interesting items reviewed

Happy birthday Lucas

Love your videos. Only happened across your channel a month ago and am catching up on older episodes. Live in upper Midwest and went on a week long canoe trip in Boy Scouts (60+ years ago). A decade + later, wife and I were invited to canoe in the Boundary Waters (MN Canadian border north of Lake Superior). For 40+ years we have gone back, took our two daughters, their friends, and now our grandchildren (4 of 6 so far, the other 2 next summer). Everyone of them wanted to go again and the oldest has been four times. Doesn’t matter if you hike or bike or canoe, it makes life long memories!

Fishing/Camping adventures with dad spurred an interest in outdoors ... always enjoy your vlog in midst of my immobility.

Great trip and video. Like you, my love for hiking and camping started when I was young, around 12, I think. My adventures started with my best friend who also enjoyed the woods and hiking. We read survival books voraciously and made a lot of our own gear, including a dryer that worked with light bulbs to dry fruit for trail mix. We had a permanent camp in a farmers woods (with permission) and we had a lean to, a cache and even a latrine away from camp. Great times. I was too long away from camping but have started again and have once again accessed private land with permission and started building a camp. Reliving my childhood lol. Keep up the great work thank you

My love of the outdoors started before I was even a month old. My parents took me camping when I was only a couple weeks old. My mom told me that I cried unless I was outside in my cradle, under the tarp, in the rain. That was the start of a lifelong love. My family spent every weekend in the Coast Range mountains, camping. My dad would come home from work on Friday night, and the whole family would head up to the mountains for the weekend. We'd be back for school and work on Monday. It didn't matter the weather. There's a hilarious commercial, "Pemco, Blue Tarp Campers" and that was us. Haha. All my parents' friends were also outdoors people, so we would often meet up with them for camping. We spent many holidays camping. During the summer we spent most of the time outdoors also, in the Coast Range and Cascades, and also on road trips, camping throughout the Pacific Northwest, in the mountains, deserts, and rainforest. (Most of Oregon and Washington are desert, a lot of people don't realize.) My dad had catamarans (and a Snark, lawl) and my mom and dad both had dirt bikes, so we also hung out with friends sailing on lakes and rivers, and with their motorcycle buddies. My mom had had horses before I was born, and then later in life she got horses again, so then trail riding and horse camping was a part of my life! We never "traveled" like other people did, with vacations to Hawai'i, or Europe... but I wouldn't have traded camping for anything. I feel more at home in the mountains than in my house, and I get homesick for them.

Very informative and entertaining. I've owned a Soto stove for years and it's always been reliable. Good stuff 👍

Backpacking with my boyscout troop. My dad was with me for nearly every trip and I can honestly say that we wouldn't have the relationship we do now that I am grown if not for those camping and backpacking trips.

I'm always lying and listening to your rainstorm nights before bedtime. So tonight it will be this .. thanks

I love the saw! P purchased one about a year ago. It has been absolutely amazing for camping trips!

Thorough and enjoyable. thanks Luke, you do a great job.

EXCELLENT, Luke. I have that same ax, I polished both sides & sharpened it which improved its cutting ability. I have the Soto Windmaster Stove & have known about Soto cooksets. I'm quite pleased to see you use & review the set; looks like that is a complete cookset in every respect. Thank you for using & reviewing the Soto Cookset, & lantern. I didn't know electric chainsaws existed; thanks for showing & using the Dewalt electric chainsaw. I'll be looking forward to your use & review of the Helikon Swagman Roll. Corporals Corner channel uses that product on most of his outdoor adventures.

Grew up fishing with dad and grandpa. Spent lots of time camping while in girl scouts. Guess my leader in cadets made an impression cause I love being out doors camping and hiking. Never have enough time to do as much as I want so planning on retiring in a couple of years as, as much son in law says, I’m going to camp and hike my brains out!!

My parents never went camping. My dad was a O.T.R truck driver. Gone for weeks at a time. I never got alone with dad at all. Dennis from Delaware

I had hopes for that tent. Total bummer though. I will pass on the saw, but the Soto pot set and that multi-function quilt/poncho are things I want to look at.

Great video Luke, it’s the best channel of its type on KZread... been following you for years now, happy birthday to Lucas, 18 years ... time fly’s .... Didn’t think the Tigris would be good, the idea is good, but let down in construction and materials... love the Soto gear .. Japanese quality...

My passion for hiking started when I was in the Boy Scouts back in 2007. And now watching your videos made me start getting back into that stuff. I am going to go try to do the AT March 25 2021!! Wish me luck!!!

Thanks for this I will be looking at different options. Had high hopes for this tent

Another great adventure! It's so refreshing to see a dad that is so proud of their kids! Kudos to your for raising them the right way! I would really like to see reviews on hiking/adventure pants. Do you have a brand/s that you prefer? I'm not going to be hiking the PCT, just going on car camping / week long backpacking trips. Keep up the gear reviews and say hi to Susie!

Another awesome review and adventure. I love the echo sound as you split wood. Sounds of silence.

Thanks for sacrificing your dryness for us

My passion for hiking came during a week-long scouting trip. In the early 70’s, our whole Troop hiked the Grand Canyon from south rim to north rim and back. 56 miles. Beautiful scenery, hard , hot and sweaty. Loved that I could have fun doing difficult things. Please do a review of the electric Dewalt chainsaw.

I have this tent and have used it twice now with precipitation. Once in heavy autumn dew. The second time in light to moderate rain. The tent leaked terribly in both instances. So I will no longer use it unless fully tarped. I did contact OneTigris and they refunded half the original purchase price. When I mentioned buying a second Outback Retreat, thinking mine was simply a lemon, they suggested I seam seal it inside and out, but consider buying a different model. I think that was a nice way of trying to prevent me from being disappointed again.I do absolutely love the features, size and layout of this tent. Just wish the seams and material were better designed.

If it is made out of canvas then you need to season it. Set it up, then get a garden hose and get it soaking wet. Let it dry completely in sunlight. Repeat process 2 more times! What you are doing is the same as washing and drying a pair of denim jeans. You are shrinking the fabric. A properly seasoned tent,swag WILL NOT LEAK OR WICK WATER. Enjoy many excellent reviews and info from you. I enjoy your channel very much!

Those two Soto kits are very well engineered! Very impressive!

I still really like the tent and hopefully the replacement will test out great. My love for camping and the outdoors started early, like seven years old, camping in a large canvas tent, with two sets of camping bunks, with my family. My parents slept on an air mattress and us four kids had the cots. It was great. I continued camping, hiking, canoeing, etc., mostly with the girl scouts, then on my own when I was older. I kept it up with my three kids, especially when they were all in scouting. Now all my kids love camping, especially my boys, and I'm introducing it all to my grandkids.
