I thought that comment was a little harsh, I like Luke’s combination of gear reviews and trips and think he has a charismatic personality even in the back of a truck.

I’ve been going through a really rough time over the last year, and it’s relaxing content like this that brings me even just a short period of calmness. Thank you for always delivering amazing content, Luke!

I love that sake as well... and here is why its cloudy... Nigori Sake is not filtered, and the sake lees (sediment) are not completely removed during pressing. This results in a cloudy appearance and a thicker, creamier texture. Some producers may add back some of the sake lees to the final product to enhance the flavour and texture.

KEEP THE TUNDRA - you know what you have, it has bulbs, not LED's for headlights/tail lights. Seems to me you're thinking about "change" for the sake of change. Your 2011 Tundra, an oldie, but a goodie. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

22:16 Yes! Little things mean a lot. They probably mean the most!

Watching this video of you snug in the back of your truck eating and drinking a hot beverage is so relaxing to me. It seems so tranquil. The rain, the heater.

Thanks Drifter for all the great adventures. Wishing you all the best for the future!

Luke Thank you Judy GG Scottsdale Arizona

Luke, you should just keep Drifter!!! It's just broken in😢!!! Drive it for a million miles!! Plus, it's paid for.

I love how you place your cameras to what I would be looking at. Made me feel I took the trip! So thankful for these videos when I can’t be out there enjoying nature and weather of all sorts.

Thanks for taking us along for your last camp with Drifter.

Thumbs up for using turn signals

I am 75 years old. I grew up in Syracuse, New York, and I did a lot of backpacking in the Adirondack mountains years of it. The only two occasions I ever had with bears was because I had a lack of a fire going like you said today it’s not that important but up there it was thank heavens I was armed one was pretty aggressive and I just fired over Ted. I’m at Jo both of them off sometimes you need a fire just for protection.

So long, Drifter. I'm "new" to TOGR and the Tundra has been the face of the channel for me. She has been a good girl indeed. You'll miss it, Luke.

If I was you, I would get another Toyota truck. They are reliable vehicles. I'm a first-time Toyota owner, a 2011 Venza that I've had almost a year and she's handled great even in snow. Can't wait to go car camping in her this summer with my cousins. I call her Goldie because of the color.

Some of my best self-reflecting and thinking is done before a campfire.

After saki, dinner, sleep and breakfast. And nothing about the "facilities". epic!

I appreciate your high quality content. Videography is awesome! Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Ive always wanted to comment but I just never felt it would matter but right now hearing you talk about that sound of the rain, I just wanted to say I found your videos due to me wanting that sound and I subscribed after the first video. Life long fan here, I bring up my youtube every night to see if one of my 10 people have uploaded and your the first that started it. My life gets sad but I still know I can lay down and relax to your voice or your other channel even. I listen to thunderstorms every night to relax and sleep but I always start with your videos to get me there :)

Hi Luke, that road looked very spooky. I hope you're carrying something to protect you in case of trouble. Take care😊

This bro has very unique way of explanation of camping so calm n coolness

I simply couldn't let my tundra go.. we've gone 300k and counting miles together and been through a lot, and she's always brought me home or back to my camp.. she's definitely going to be with me till the end of my days. The only two things I have had to do to it is a battery and a starter.. both went bad setting in the driveway.

Hi Luke, just want to say thank you for sharing. You do an awesome job with your channel. Great editing!, I might add!!

I have a Primus brand two burner propane stove my dad purchased for camping in 1971!! I used it for camping over the years with my kids & emergencies when the power went out.. my two burner Primus propane stove still going strong! It pays to buy good equipment

Thanks for the upload Luke loved the vibe of just checking lung and talking in the soon to be previously owned truck just love how easy it is to sit and listing . Hope family is well Luke ❤

Soto makes great lanterns. Not sure what the price is if available in the US.

107k is nothing for a Toyota truck. I've got a Tacoma with 170k and other than the crappy core support the truck has no issues. It has taken me all over the southwest US since 2009. Great memories. Night time in the deserts are peaceful (when there is no wind) beyond words. Complete silence. It can be strange at first but you really get into your own head in the best of ways. Safe travels. Keep that Tundra! It has amber console illumination which is great for night vision.

This is one of my favorite episodes of yours I've seen in a while. You should do more like this, Luke 👍

Luke… I bought a brand new 2011 Tundra with the Rock Warrior package, just like yours but white. I sold it to a coworker of mine at the time and trust me I regretted doing it. What an awesome truck it was… still miss it. It’s hard to beat a Tundra.

First, I noticed that the fuel gage said about a quarter tank....I like better than a half tank and better yet, fill up before heading off road. Second, just because something is old doesn't mean you should discard it. I drive and overland in a vehicle that's 49 years old and I love it.

I recommend keeping fuel tank full when camping. But a hardsided truck bed to camp in is an excellent idea. Especially for someone like myself whose body is broke. Drive to a nice location. Hunker down in the back. Enjoy!

This video impressed me greatly, and I can't put my finger on exactly why. But I can say that when you spoke of choosing your battles it brought back memories of my mom, who totally believed it to be true. And you are both right.

really enjoy your videos. Thanks. I love the wind.

New to the channel. Your description of hanging out in the truck listening to the rain with no need to leave your shelter and feeling secure was an experience I had had just once in my life on a trip. Haven’t had the opportunity to capture that since. That moment I think about to help Me fall asleep.

I enjoy your videos inside the truck as much as the ones outside, especially when it's raining and windy.

I almost bought a Toyota. But I've always drift toward's short wheel base Jeep's. I love my 06 TJ. Ground Tent's have always been my thing. I really like your Content. Your not trying to shove gear down our throat's. I enjoy trying new gear when possible. Thank's for sharing Brother.

I own an '08 Tundra that I bought new. 350k miles and no major problems. New starter, radiator, alternator, and that's it. Knock on wood, lol. She's a beast, but she's starting to show her age.

Your timing is amazing as always!!

My husband and I say KEEP THE TUNDRA!!!! 🥹 We’re big fans 🫰

An interesting point regarding fires, Luke. I view a fire as a book without pages. Something very relaxing about the fire. I do agree that they tend to be a bit of work.

You sure do get the weather there,, we are getting some thunderstorms tonight.. which I love hearing.. thank you for sharing Luke..

Never had a problem with the Army Chevy pickup's. The 1's I drove went better than 55 including the Blazers. I was Portsmouth, Va.a few years ago. A navy special boat unit was still using the Military Chevy pickup's

Luke, maybe you’ll consider going out with only your favorite gear, no testing, just enjoying and telling us why this is your favorite. Then you could, as you usually do, list that gear. It would be a good thing for me and maybe others. Oh, I love stoves too. I have about 18 and have forced myself to STOP. I also like sunglasses and can’t tolerate scratches so, I’ve have gone through way too many to count. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to build my trust…from East Tennessee.

You will always remember your 1st Toyota pick up. I put 387,000 miles before selling my 99 Tacoma. Miss her still.

Thats Nigori Sake! Us Gaijins mostly call it unfiltered Sake, which is a misnomer because it is filtered just not to the same degree as regular sake. It's really good stuff.

A lot of American Vehicle Manufacturers have ceased making Sedans in favour of Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV’s)

So excited for a new overnight adventure!! ❤

Susie and Luke, thankyou for sharing all your adventures of camping and reviews of outdoor gear! I'll be retiring to western North Carolina in the next few years.

I love the Tundra even though it only gets about 14 mpg but most reliable.

Man, I loved my Tundra. Whatever you plan to replace it with has a high bar to meet.

Great video Luke, I remember the Turtle and all those vehicles you've in the past years, I think my favorite was the 4-Runner, I had a black limited 4-Runner that looked just like the one you had and loved that thing and my other favorite one is the truck you have now. I currently drive a Tacoma and love it.

People that use a turn signals in the middle of nowhere. Are like people that go to the bathroom and close the door when they are the only one living in the house.

Going over a mountain pass with 1/4 of a tank of gas. You are a madman my friend.

I had 1991 toyota truck with about 370.000 miles on it. But it had a v6 in it. It would go places many other trucks wouldn't. I backed up through mud that other 4 wheel drives got stuck going forward through. Btw the engine still ran good when I sold it.

Thank you Luke for a very relaxing video. Loved it. Take care

Funny how we get so attached to a vehicle. But, we always get excited about something new! My Yukon Denali was stolen last December. Loved that thing. Only 60,000 miles. Brand new tires. Never recovered. Still have 2 vehicles. My wifes 2 door coupe Mercedes, and an H1 Hummer. Neither very practical. For very opposite reasons. Been dragging my heals on something new. Looking at P/U trucks. Leaning towards a Toyota. Just having a hard time swallowing the price of new vehicles these days. Look forward to seeing your new ride! As usual, great video. Thanks for continuing to share. Jim Gillespie Reno, NV

I have noticed everyone seems to make their best meals after a little of the sake ;) ahah

Thanks! Good stuff Man

“12.5%, not too bad” 🤣🤣

In Japan, sake is usually served warm with the bottle sitting in a bowl of hot water. The heat brings out he mild flavor of the sake.

Always enjoyable. Great instrumentals as well closing off the video. Be well.

❤ Good bye Drifter you've been a True Friend ❤

As long as you guys are collecting I'm sure we all wanna see the pick ups!

Hi Luke thank you so much for your wonderful content! Love your conversation/thoughts and wicked sense of humour!…….your Trundra is fab Luke it offers you so much scope to do different things and as you said it’s reliable and that today with the cost of living goes a long way! It’s always a risk buying and selling it’s if you think you want to take that risk that counts though. 💙

I've often thought of the camper shell way to camp! I'm eager to see how it holds up! Let's take a look!

My 2011chevy truck has just over a half a million kms 0 rust the guy who had it last keep it in mint shape

Your Tundra camping is what got me started watching you 😁. Hope you have as many good adventures with your next truck choice as you've had with your Tundra 😉

Great video, very relaxing. Too bad there was no more outdoor footage because of the weather but I am sure you rested well, there is something special and calming about sleeping in the rain.

Its very pleasant hearing you talk man. Nice video.

Hi Luke! Another interesting adventure! Your dinner made me hungry! I too am a certified stovie. For some reason camping stoves just fascinate me! Good luck with your new vehicle, whatever it is.

The only thing I don’t like about truck campers is that you would have to get outside to drive away. No access to the cab to make a speedy getaway.

Yeah, after seeing clips of weird encounters at night in some camping channels i find this to be a huge safety problem. You should always have the means of jumping into drivers seat without going outside

that sake is made from a special rice. the creamy stuff is the rice itself. it is filter, that's why it's only 12%. I have try the orginal sake without filter, it has a strong kick for every shot. I'm glad you enjoy it and i do enjoy your video to. have fun and be safe.

When camping I don't care to freeze my hands off so I appreciate a good campfire TV Too many winters working outdoors as a career carpenter.

Love hearing your memorable moments stories, the mama fox and babies. Can't wait to see your next vehicle, let's guess what it will be. And I bet you will wish you hung on to the most reliable truck you ever owned in the future also, HA!
