Thank you for your kind comment, Tony! It's great to see fellow outdoor enthusiasts like yourself enjoying adventures in all kinds of weather. If you're looking for reliable power backup during your camping trips, I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's packed with impressive features like massive capacity, powerful output, and waterproof technology. Stay prepared and stay safe in the great outdoors!

I have to agree with all the comments, TOGR is the only channel I subscribe too and the only channel where all the videos are great. The honesty of the channel also plays a huge roll for me and is what keeps me watching. Luke is an honest person and has always kept TOGR an honest channel. In these times of misinformation and deception Luke and TOGR are a breath of fresh air. There is no honor without honesty, as Luke would say "Strength and Honor everyone."

Luke, I marvel at your videography. You are masterfully precise with your camera angles and how one shot feeds into the next. You have commented in previous episodes that filming takes a lot of time and I believe it. Each episode looks like you have someone filming for you. You are also a great story-teller and educator, which makes watching your videos very enjoyable. Stay well and know you are appreciated.

I love the sound of the rain and thunder. It’s so calming. Especially at night time when I’m trying to sleep. It knocks me right out

Luke, while in the military in Japan, my unit climbed Mt. Fuji. Sunrise on the rim of the crater is something uniquely special. You must go! Thanks for your videos!

I lived in Hinton, Alberta for a few years and seeing the sun come up over the Rockies was the best part of my shift as I came off of work…

LUKE, You should write a book! Even your cooking comes with a separate adventure that you shared with us and gave us insight into another world that we may never have heard about. Dairy Free Cheese, Really!!

22:22 “Had to test it out” that’s what I respect about your channel…You actually get inside the tent and test things out. You don’t just set up a tent in the rain and make comments on how it holds up….👍

I'm loving your videos Luke. Keep it up. As far as the sickness goes it is still a thing. Not as bad now as it was. There are people in high risk groups such as the immuno-comprimised, people undergoing cancer treatments, and folks with respiratory issues. Thank you for being cautious about it. For those of use in these groups I salute you.

Rambling on here about a few other things. Ain't it AMAZING just how much a few simple items can help the comfort of your trip. How these thru hikers can overlook the value of a lightweight camping chair is beyond me; a good chair to sit in at night is absolutely WORTH the weight it adds. For us older folks, the cot up off the ground is SOOOOOO much more appreciated than sleeping on the ground. It's hard to get up off the ground as you age; that cot just adds a ton of comfort to the whole experience. Also, the table. Just 38 bucks at Amazon and you have a place to set drinks, a place to cook, to assemble and work on stuff at. The basics of camping STILL come down to a few ergonomic items that help the human experience-- a nice little table: a good shelter from the rain; a good place to sit WITH back support; and a nicer bed to sleep in. IN all your vids, you have come to the nirvana of the equation, Luke. Those little things MATTER.

I'm SO glad I live in the NORTH!! I grew up in the South and could not WAIT to get away from it. I've been in Minnesota for over 20 years now and I LOVE the weather... winters included.

3yrs and counting..this is the only channel who makes me feel relax when watching..Thank You Luke..❤❤❤😊😊😊

Hi Luke, thanks for making and sharing your passion for the outdoors. Very enjoyable video, as usual. I always spread a big tarp over my whole campsite, I've had enough experiences with leaky tents. I like a 20' x 20' tarp, that's enough to create a large, mud-free area. Plenty of room for food, gear, equipment, my wife, and me to lounge around the fire, warm, dry and comfortable. Indoor - outdoor carpet makes a great ground cover, you can hose it down when you get home and it's good as new, ready for the next trip. We love camping and have learned how to create a very comfortable environment for very little money.

Love the strong weather videos so much.

The intro with the mountains, fog and music/thunder was amazing!

Hello Luke,,another great video,, and I love AB camping (Tony) . thank you for sharing and the reviews of the tent !👍

Don't know if you're going to see this comment Luke, but that band in the bottom of your foot that has the tears in it, is the planterfasha. If you take a tennis ball and just roll You're foot over it putting good downward pressure to stretch that band it will help the healing process. My wife is a runner and deals with this on a regular basis from running on hard ground. You can do it with a frozen water bottle as well which will also help.

@killintime years ago I was told to while sitting down roll a coke btle back and forth with your foot on it. That was when btles were glass. Guess you could fill a plastic one partly full of water and freeze it,then roll your foot back and forth on it. The cold would help ease pain maybe.

Luke, I lived in Japan. My Dad was Navy, and he was station on Yokosuka. Until we got base housing, we rented a house from Papa San. The house was directly across Sagami Bay from Mt. Fuji. We had a picture window that was perfectly aligned with a view of Mt. Fuji. It was like a living painting of Mt. Fuji projected into our living room. We were fortunate to see a couple of season changes. Keep in mind, while the technical aspects of climbing Mt. Fuji is easy, the elevation is above 12,000 ft. and if you are not conditioned to the altitude, you could get into trouble. There were many stories about unprepared climbers that only made it part of the way, before turning around or needing medical assistance. It is a mountain sacred to the Japanese, so it is well worth climbing. Also, if one or both of you have to stop, there is a bus that can take you to the top, where there is a nice restaurant. Japan is beautiful, especially out of the main cities. If want more rural and traditional Japan, limit you time in the big cities. Tokyo is mind boggling and ultra modern, so it is worth to be seen once, but the outlying villages and temples are amazing. The Japanese appreciate respect and they will reciprocate your gestures. Many, mostly the younger population speak good English, but is you want that little bit of extra touch, learn a few phrases. 1. Konnichiwa: Hello, but also Good Afternoon, is one of the most common greetings, and you hear it everywhere, it also means Good Afternoon. When given or received, make a slight bow toward the intended target. 2. Hajimemashite: How do you do or pleased to see you. 3. ohayoo gozaimasu: Good morning 4. Konbanwa: good Evening. 5. Oyasumi Nasai: Good Night. 6. Common phrases when greeting, that if you get it slightly wrong will be understood. “Ohayō gozaimasu” (Good morning), “Konnichiwa” ('Hello' or 'Good day'). 7. When you enter a store, small restaurant, or bar, you will be greeted with “Irasshaimase” in a loud enthusiastic voice. Or welcome, come in. There is no need to respond, but a slight bow is considered polite. Once you have shown respect by saying a few common words, you can now ask if they speak English. Also helpful, and in fact invented in Japan, are personal translators. You determine the languages to be spoken, and for example, speak into the device in English, and it repeats in Japanese. They in turn can speak Japanese and it comes out English. Very useful and can be found in any electronic store. By the way … I’ll save you the embarrassment. There is no tipping in Japan. None. Nada. It insults them to give a tip, with the very small exemption of eating in the very exclusive an expensive restaurants. If in doubt, ask the Maître d'. There is so much more I could tell you, but not enough space to do so here. If you go, enjoy as much Japanese life that you can, and please leave any preconceptions at home. Do me a personal favor, and if you ride any trains in the crowded cities, let me know if you know what a oshiya is. They serve a very necessary purpose. Larry from Texas

The 🐐 of gear reviews.. this man has saved a lot of ppl, their hard earned money 💵, so everyone has a chance to enjoy the outdoors safely and comfortably.. thanks and very best 🍻

According to the CDC, if you have a mild case of Covid, then you are contagious for 10 days past the initial date of symptoms. If you are severely infected or critically ill from Covid you are infectious for 20 days past the initial date of symptoms. So in order to curb the spread, isolate for 5 full days and continue to wear a mask for at least 10-20 days from initial date of symptoms. I hope this clarify's for everyone. Love your videos!

Luke, thank you for sharing your experience with me.just an good human being. Blessing to you and Susie

I have been living in Japan for the past 7 years and I have to say that the area around Mt Fuji is absolutely beautiful.

Luke, We love all of your Adventures. Thank you for all your great reviews! As for AB Camping my Heart Brakes for Tony. We loved Bruce and we hope he finds peace. Looking forward to seeing his new dog Bruno.

Luke, Japan is INCREDIBLE! I've been there twice. Kyoto's got some of the most beautiful forests I've ever been in, but I'm sure there's no shortage of cool spots throughout the country. The food is great and the people are really friendly as well.

That last piece of the puzzle... is you finishing the journey. Its all come full circle!

Kia Ora Luke from kiwiNZ, It’s because of Tony why I’m on here, you tell it like it is. No beating around the bush which is awesome👍. Thank you, take care and stay safe

That is definitely the most poles used in one camp setup I've ever seen. It makes me appreciate my van.

Liking the new music, Luke. Thank you for bringing the outdoors to those of us who spend too much time indoors❤

Based on all your testing, I would love to see a Top Tens video from you on each category of gear.

Love these type of videos! Thanks for the content, Luke!

Ticks are just mosquitoes who are extra angry cause they got no wings.

I love the long, rainy camping videos. So relaxing. The short drone footage of going up into the clouds and back down again was super cool!

Ive been watching this channel for a while now and i watch in the evenings when everything is done and im resting because it helps me calm down from the days chaos .

Luke👍👍 Nice overnight stay on Lone Wolf Mtn.. Too bad the tent is lacking, just too many cons already. It's not tall person friendly either, I'll continue to watch the further test episodes but this tent is a no go for me. Moosejaw is history in my book, I don't deal with them or Dick's. Looks like North Face lost me too, shame. The meal looked good and the coffee times as well. Great filming of course with super views, thanks for the work. S&H

Hi Luke. I have followed Tony (AB Camping) for quite awhile. My heart was broken when he lost Brucie. Thank you for giving him a shout out. He had talked about meeting up with you. Sorry that did not happen for you and Tony but better to be safe. I have also been to Japan and I climbed Mt Fuji. You will love it. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Another fun fact about Japan is that they have musical trash trucks. Lol. Yes they really do. So cool. Thanks for another great video.

Japan is definitely on my bucket list as well. Great video Luke as always. Thank you for brining such great content and the lol moments, especially with the coffee. Will definitely try the non-dairy cheese.

Also, yep Tony was beyond devasted with Bruce. Especially since they were overseas when it happened. I cried when he posted the short video of Bruce's passing. Anyone who followed Tony always loved Bruce & his antics. There will never be another dog like him. RIP Brucie...

Loved the intro thanks for all your hard work strength and honour ✌

Luke, your channel has been one of my favorites, going on 2 years watching the gear review, the fabulous Hikes, and trips with Susie are fantastic. The Bigfoot series. Anyway, I'm excited for you to go to Mt. Fugi in Japan. My father was stationed there in the early 50's. He flew in the Navy off Aircraft Carrier. He has pictures of the Mountain through his gunnary Scope On his plane. The pictures of parades and flowers. The ladies wore such gorgeous dresses in the slides he took. It was one of the most beautiful and enjoyable places he ever visited, along with Okanowa. Go fill that Bucket up with a trip of a lifetime and find that missing piece of puzzle, with that trip.😊

It's funny that two days after you uploaded this I'm sitting here with the remnant of Tropical Depression Arlene as it skirts me by. My arm hurts like a burning poker hit it after i got a Shingles vax in my left arm. The second and final one i will ever need. But lightning cracked over head, rain came down in a moderate down pour at the same time as i watched your video. It is no fun being miserable, but i appreciate your working no less hard to shoot this one as you would any other while pained on your foot! Thank you from a fellow sufferer.

I've added cinnamon to my coffee for years! I love it! I also add Indian spices to my coffee often! Beneficial to the gut and creates a 'savory' coffee. 😊

Injuries. I've had some and I'm sure nearly everyone has had one or more. About the time you don't think you can't take much more, it get's better. Better mentally maybe. Now, I can document all the injuries and remember them. I'm still ambulatory and taking nourishment. My brother hiked Mt. Fuji when he got on shore from his ship (OK, the Blue Ridge). He gave me his hiking pole. They would burn marks into the pole at points. I miss Susie. You guys make such a team. It was so nice to hear Susie say, I have enjoyed every minute of this hike. Sold it to Dicks sporting Goods. I agree. A lesser form of WM.

I have climbed all over Japan--Fuji is one of the funnest climbs you will ever do. Wall-to-wall people, 6 humans abreast, climbing while singing and laughing through the night. Bivy at/near the summit, see the sunrise. A must do. Normally I climb to stay away from people, but this one is to be done as a big family of mountain lovers. Wear geta sandals, Fuji hiking staff and straw hat to be "cool." Follow on your trip then to the Kumano Kodo (world heritage site trail) in Nara--blow your socks off.

There is a way to avoid the tangled cordage. Stand by the tent, coil the line pulling the far end to you. Secure the coil by wrapping it and pulling a loop of the part going to the tent through the coil and flipping the loop over the coil. It would take about 30 seconds to show. Much easier to do than explain, it does work. Good luck.😊

Thanks again for a wonderful video. I look forward to them. God Bless

Good morning I had covid 2 I tested positive twice. The third time I tested it was negative. And it was only like my allergies were kicking in. Your son will be fine. You all take care stay safe and God bless. Thank you for doing what you doing.

So I guess I have discovered your name. Luke ~~ I love your love of the outdoors. I seriously would never go out on my own and camp. Don’t know how to deal with pushy critters. It’s not that I am afraid ~~ it’s more after I had a stroke on my horses back and going over her head. We were just starting them the class. In the hospital for over 4 months and learning how to walk, eat, drink and talk again. I’m just not sure of certain things. It was all just crazy. I stayed in my house for 6 years. I hadn’t drove in 6 years. But the other day I said no more and drove to see my Moma in assisted living. Don’t laugh it was a 10 min drive. Dang it took forever to get back in a vehicle. Not that you really wanted to hear all that ~~ I still felt it was okay. I love your videos. They are awesome. I love that you talk to us. It means so much.

Right before you mention that I was just going to send you a comment saying that I was watching one of Tony and Bruce's videos and he brought up you and that's how I started watching you because of Tony and Bruce. Now this was an older video that he put out that before Bruce passed that I had not seen. But anyway, that's a pretty cool that you guys are buddies and you help each other out. I recommending each other. I've been watching Tony and Bruce for probably a good almost 2 years I love camping myself but don't go out in the deep woods but I do have some girlfriends that do go out alone with their dogs. Thank you again for sharing your keeping trips. ❤️

I was thinking the opposite when you eat! You make it look absolutely delicious....you are so neat and organized!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Realy needed a video like this now.

Very good entry into this episode with the tunes.

In my younger days, it was common to put cinnamon in coffee. Usually, it was done with freshly brewed coffee, fresh whipped cream, and cinnamon on top. On good days you would mix up a batch of scones to go with it... scones with butter, jam and whipped cream. Those were the days!

3 weeks ago I upgraded to iPhone and apple watch. I wonder why I did not do this sooner. I am a cyclist. I like to keep track of my heart rate while riding. I have been doing my tent adventures in my yard. I plan to do some bike packing this summer. I had been doing day adventures. I like to leave out during the predawn hours. When I ride I will take my camp chair with me so I can sit while taking a break every two hours. I will always enjoy your videos.

Luke, if you're going to climb mt. Fuji, remember to buy the wooden hiking poles from the base of the mountain. As you go up, it has rest stop where you can stamp on ya pole to mark your progress as you hike.

The footage of the fog was amazing. The storm was cool too, with the low clouds and the rain. Hope your foot feels better soon. My husband is going through an issue with his right big toe. Had surgery and hopes to be back to work by the end of June. Stay safe

We all miss Brucie....so Sad :( Also Yes, Yes you can add cinnamon to your coffee...awesome!

Love the way that engine growls...

Wish I could experience one of those night... Just one...also love that bed....wow

Another great adventure in the books! Shame it was so muggy in the tent but you still made it look fun. Cheers!

watching AB Camping is what turned me on to your videos...😀

After watching you use that cook set I ordered the 4 piece set because it can be used with my nu-wave cook top which is good for camping and all my other stoves, got it today it’s great , thanks Luke

That's my fav channel right b4 I go to sleep...I always look for one of your camping vids to watch while in bed

I never had any use for a cell phone so I got rid of mine 14 years ago and haven't missed it at all. The only electronic piece of quipment I have is a laptop. It works for anyting I need and I can take it anywhere I want to. Presently I have StarLink internet.

So for the coffee.... add mocha or preferrably a dark chocolate with the cinnamon. It is the best! Love the videos! You, Tony, Jay, and Jon (Lost Lakes) are my outdoor guys.... Thanks for the great content and being drama free.

GREAT VIDEO MY FRIEND......Just looks like a lotta work!!! Keep em coming!!!

Thanks Luke!

I’ve been putting cinnamon in my coffee for years and it adds a nice taste & also change brands of coffee so it doesn’t get boring , variety is the spice of life

Great camp Luke Thanks Good review of the Tigris

Oh god Luke, shower in the tent in the rain. Terrible, also experienced it once and never again. I have 2 pieces of nylon tarps, really heavy nylon in camouflage color 4 x 6 meters. Both Tarps to a tent braced, under it stands my Arctic Cat, laugh small cat, 2 seater and 1000ccm. Always dry underneath and can ventilate well over both sides and at one end, comfortably cook something. Simple, safe and no unnecessary ballast, even in winter, absolutely tight the tarps. Of course, you always have to insulate the ground a little. Also no problem. Greetings from Frankfurt

I highly encourage you to follow your heart and go to Japan. I've been there twice. I can't speak to climbing Mt. Fuji, I've been there to ski and sight see. The people are friendly and often times go out of their way to be helpful. The country is beautiful and the food is delicious. (Especially the ramen.) Do it!

I brew coffee with cinnamon quite regularly. It adds an interesting flavor to it for sure.

Thanks!

I've been adding cinnamon to my coffee since the 90s. I prefer to use sticks but ground cinnamon works well. Other flavors I add to my coffee include Nutmeg, Ginger, and Cacao/Coco. There's a good article on the subject: 6 Ways to Boost Your Coffee with Vitamins and Antioxidants

Luke, as a therapist you should try a night splint for that plantar fasciitis and also fill a pringles can with water and freeze it ( after you enjoy the pringles). Then roll your foot over it which creates a nice ice massage. Works great

Hi. I'm disabled with a bad back. For years I didn't know if a hammock would work for me. But after watching one of your videos on hammocks. I decided to bite the bullet and get one. wow, its a life-changer for me. Thanks for your advice

It seems like to me that most, if not all, of these tense your review, could greatly benefit by including a huge overhead tarp.

Yes you can just add cinnamon to your coffee. I do all the time with the little coconut milk. It's really yummy

Your foot injury can be helped by massage and gentle stretching every morning. Happened to me when I was a mailman walking 10 miles every day. My foot pain improved by stretching and massaging every morning before going to work.

When it comes to your foot injury it sounds just like plantar fasciitis. I have had it many times because im severely flat footed. I'm not sure if you've tried putting any kind of orthotics in your shoes but thats what helped me out. Also doing minor physical therapy by simply rolling a tennis ball back and forth under your feet a few times each day. It stretches out the ligaments and gives immediate pain relief. I love watching your videos and right when you went to grab your heel I knew immediately what you were probably suffering from and trust me its not fun and takes a long time to fully heal but you'll get there :). Much love to you and your family

Yes i love this channel!!!

never mind, I just got the answer, lol...Thanks for the new video, as always enjoyed it so much. Take care.

‘Am I going to feel smarter after this cup of coffee? I doubt it’ lol!

So OneTigris wants you to buy a tent with no floor that needs a tarp over it to protect from weather. This thing is a BBQ shelter at best and a mildly pricey one at that. Love your dedication to the cause Luke thanks for your work. Even if most of these tents are not easily available in Australia the advice and info is very handy. Big thunbs up.

My wife adds cinnamon to her coffee and loves it. She has said it stabilizes her blood sugar throughout the day even when she forgets to eat.

Oh, my goodness, Luke. Adding a light dusting of cinnamon to coffee has been my "go to" since 1980!! (Overdoing the cinnamon can be harseh, though. Uh-oh, that is probably exactly what you'll do
