One snowy adventure posted, another to come! :D
I hope you all enjoy this trip out.
- Luke
Also, have an awesome weekend!
TheOutdoorGearReview Lol nice stop at the stop sign 😂
That's a "Carolina Stop." - Luke
I seen the review on the improved combat shelter tent. Did you ever do a video where you camp in it?
TheOutdoorGearReview lol
I researched the ice you had asked about. From the pictures I found, the name being used was needle ice. Looked like a fun time!
"Snow doesn't stress me out, but people do." - That's a classic!
I’m permanently disabled now, hit head on by a drunk driver so I can’t do the things you do, but I surely do enjoy your videos. Thanks for the great adventures!
God speed
Same here Michael. These are great!!
@Randy Bandy Yeah, what the hell?
Michael Truhett ) was q
So sorry that happened to you😔
Owen Thank you for that, I sure appreciate it. Life can deal out some pretty tough hands that’s for sure.
I love to see someone who gets excited about snow and "Bad" weather the way that I do.
I enjoy it because mostly others are avoiding it while I'm trying to avoid them.. it's a win for both sides.
@@usafairmanlord Same
@@vigilantmoth7947 Totally get it.
Me too 110%!!! Bring it on!
@@usafairmanlord Yeah, me too. I've said exactly the same thing many times.
"i'm not like other channels.. i don't care if you ever purchase any product that you see me show".. AMEN! Thank you Luke for staying committed to this statement year after year after ..year!
17:57🕺🏕🏞👍
I remember my forties - good years - enjoy them! I'm in my seventies now and don't get around as much or as quickly as I used to, but still enjoy life! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!
Exactly the same here. I prefer watching these videos over ANY show on TV. I am watching this video again for the umteenth time - love the snow and rain overnighters Luke does.
10:22 Its Needle Ice Luke.
The missing sign used to read, "Funky Foldgers makes you think you hear Bigfoot. What you actually hear Rosie O'Donnell foraging for samiches!"
Hoar ice, or hoar frost
Needle ice is rotten ice on a body of water, making it unsafe for passage, skating, ice fishing, etc.
I love watching this channel.
And I love camping out in bad weather, it's some kind of therapy for me to lay in a tent or a makeshift shelter while it rains. I think it makes the world seem futher away.
As far as what that ice is called, there is both hard and soft forms of Rime ice! I recently have grown to appreciate this channel, thanks for all your hard work!
Just fyi... one of the best adventure/review channels out there.... thanks brother for all the effort!
1. Loved the adventure. 2. Loved the snow scenes. Makes me feel cool. 3. Thanks for bleeping out the expletives. 😀
As for the coffee, something that was NEVER good can EVER go bad!! LOL! Great channel.
Thanks for taking me along on the trip, as I love the snow. I also, get disappointed when it does not snow after they call for a big one. ATB... to You and Yours Von
The moment in life when you realize you're on the road looking for yesterday :)
...Love This comment !! ...Identify Completely !! ..
You know, that sounds like a good book title!
I could see something like this written by possibly Bradbury or, for a good spooky version, King or possibly Ramsey Cambell although if it's R C, he'd stick too many "the" words into the title, like "The Store", "The Mailman", etc , etc.!
I keep waiting for him to write something called "The The" just because of this although there's a band that has that name, so he'd get sued for Copywrite infringement!! Ha ha ha!
Amazed at the amount of greenery still on the trees. Thanks for bringing me along. Brian 78
Luke, trying to survive with budget gear. Some of my favourite adventures.
I appreciate the info you provide about various equipment. You give us many things to consider when looking for equipment. I have shared your channel with a friend of mine who is new to camping. His thirst for info is at an all time high, and your info meets his needs!!
Thanks Luke
Thanks for another great winter adventure video! Back in the day, I did my share of driving to get the family to a scenic spot. When I hit 50, I realized that there were fine places 45 minutes away that gave me all the outdoors I wanted to experience. Getting there and back: meh! Being there is the Real Deal!
Love the area you’re camping in!!! Pisgah is a beautiful place! I’ve seen that helicopter in action clearing railroad tracks in Rutherford Country and it’s amazing! Cheers!
Don't. Let a Sasquatch encounter keep you from hiking. I've seen 2 in last 30 years. I didn't want to see one. But feel lucky to have seen them. I was more startled by the howl I heard late one night. Anyway great video Luke. Keep up the good work/fun. Thanks.
Not bad roads, bad driver's. Thanks for taking us along.
1:20- Speedcam- It’s no wonder you missed your turn, since you were apparently approaching the sound barrier 🤣😂
@Timothy Mckee That's a "Carolina Stop." - Luke
Timothy Mckee 😂😂😂😂😂
What blood-curdling heights! Best enjoyed while loafing in a recliner. Do I love to loaf!
Luke, just getting into backpacking. love your videos! experienced camper/hunting although backpacking is a whole new beast! the gear! holey heck!
When I was much younger, as in almost 50 years ago, we didn't have the ultralight gear that is available nowadays. Nevertheless we would go on hunting or fishing trips way back in the wilderness areas in Wyoming and Montana. Sometimes we had a horse or two, othertimes we would backpack in. I had an external frame backpack that was fairly advanced for the early 70's. I had actually bought that pack to give to my dad for his birthday, but he looked at me like I was trying to get him to wear panty hose and refused to accept it. He had a WWII plywood pack board that was meant for hauling mortars, and that's what he used. On our trips we also took a canvas tarp, Dad's old Forest Service 36" double-bitted ax, 1/4" nylon rope, and our personal gear, including old army mummy bags. For cooking we had an old Maytag cast aluminum washing machine lid that made a great skillet, and we carried a 3 pound coffee can for boiling water. When we arrived at our campsite we'd make a lean-to out of lodgepole pine and spruce or fir branches. We'd build a super comfortable bough bed big enough for whoever was on the trip, and then we had a fireplace with log reflectors that did a really nice job of heating the lean-to. I think people don't know what comfort is out in the wild until they've slept on a bough bed. This was our camp for the next week or ten days or so. We only brought enough meat for the first evening's meal, so until we killed an elk or caught some fish we were vegetarians. Great incentive to get out and hunt.
Nowadays I am 66 and still love getting out.. I've done a lot more bicycle trips here than backpacking here, although two years I did do a solo backpacking trip in a very remote area of the Tibetan Plateau in China, which I had to bail out of after several days because I got caught in a very sudden thunderstorm and my down bag was completely soaked. I was at high altitude (up to 15,300 feet) in rainy season, highs in the low 40's. It took me two days to get to a road, and another two days after that to get a ride (I stayed with a Tibetan family until I got a ride). After that it took another three days by car and then bus to finally get to the airport where I caught a flight back to my home in China.
Of course I really appreciate all the lightweight gear we have these days, as my several backpacks, 4 stoves, tents, and other gear will attest to. Today I ordered a new, lighter tent, and am hoping to make it back to the Tibetan Plateau, hopefully with my younger son. I have never gotten tired of getting out and hiking or biking under my own steam, and hopefully I'll be able to continue for many years to come.
Luke, I honestly can't watch enough of your videos. I've been on your channel for a few years now, and it seems like every time I watch your new video I'll watch four or five in a row right after. I love what you do, your style of filmmaking and your outlook on life. Please keep sharing what you love because all your subscribers appreciate it!
Overnight adventures are my favorite!
At 1:07 "low teens (a slight grin) and possibly some wind" (there it is, a boyish smile of anticipation that says this is gonna be fun). I finally figured out that is why I watch your videos. That you absolutely love doing this. I'm an old lady (62), a fraidy cat about camping alone and have never camped in a winter storm setting BUT I can't help myself. I am addicted to your videos. I enjoy hearing your stories, the way you are so honest and loving when talking about your family and that you seem like one of the most unpretentious people I've "met". And I do learn. I think my problem is that I need to learn to transition from taking everything except the kitchen sink TO leaving things at home that I probably won't need. I've got my go bag fairly light but camping I just don't listen and before I know it I've over packed. I'll learn and I think you'll help me learn. Thanks. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Glad you made it home safe and unharmed. Another wonderful adventure. Merry Christmas to you and your family from me and mine in Australia. Feel free to send some snow this way, it hot at heck down here.
That snow storm you got after this video was HUGE!!
17:55
That's awesome! Not a lot of truly 100% unbiased and reliable sources like this out there. Definitely deserves a thank you in the form of a like and a subscription from all of us! 👍👌✌
You are just about the embodiment of "when the going gets tough, the tough get going"
I think its just great how positive and cheerful you always are. Where others get grumpy and annoyed, you just seem to see another adventure and the worse conditions get, the more cheerful you become! Even when you talk about other people doing silly sh*t (in this and other vids) you never seem angry or irritated, more like amused.
Thats agreat attitude to life i think. Good for the heart rate and general health not to stress unless it is absolutely necessary.
I’m so amazed you’re not freaked out being by yourself out there...Strength and honour
Indeed, it is the "Bundeswehr Isomatte"... Greetings from Germany, Luke! ^^
I love the out doors, after seeing 3 dog men in the forest. I been afraid of staying over night in a tent. Staying in a stronger structure like a mobile home. I am not as afraid. As long as I can drive away. After seeing them on the mountain next to us, using glass to see them. To close for me, Pa. As a lot of them, (dogmen). Please be careful, people are food for them. Great video, I like to watch your videos because your always in a good mood.
I would be very afraid myself if I saw them.
How the heck did you get away unseen?
I spray my pack with deet just for that reason you mentioned about the ticks
Hear that Permethrin is the only sure way to keep out ticks but you're only supposed to put it on cloths. Kind of toxic. Ticks laugh at that esential oil stuff too.
Glad to see someone enjoy the snow...as a truck driver I HATE IT! LOL
I just discovered your channel. I really enjoy all your adventures. I grew up in South Shore Kentucky. It's south of you. Down toward Ashland greenup way. I live in Las Vegas Nevada now for 19 years. The farm I grew up on was out Shurtz Creek. On a hill. It was in the 70's and 80's. A very secluded place no running water and the electric would go out when we would have a big rain storm. Party line for a phone lol. We cut our fire wood to cook and wash. The creek was for washing the cars and playing. Watching your channel has taught me a lot about the outdoors that I didn't know. Thank you Aurilla Morris. I always watch you channel before bed it's so relaxing and full of important information.
I'm really glad you brought the subject of sasquatch up again. I like to read the comments. Never seen one but experienced some unexplained things like you. The thousands of reports, one even dating back to 1490's in Leif Erickson's journal, casts with dermal ridges that couldn't be attributed to human or primate by a 30 year latent print expert (Jimmy Chilcutt), DNA blind study results confirming non human and no known animal ( No match in GenBank) is extremely compelling. DNA is the nail in the coffin in criminal cases, the results put out by numerous universities in blind studies on this subject are no different. We are not alone in the woods. Great video
Leif Erickson was born in 970 A.D., I wouldn't trust what a 520+ year old man wrote in his journal.
People back then thought dragons were real..
Must be the same guys who saw them mermaids!!
Ive been looking at people doing hot tenting and I thought ok?. I started watching your adventures and I'm enthralled. Your love for snow is infectious, your skills are impressive and you are a joy to watch. I live in muskoka Ontario Canada. We're about 3.5 hrs nne of buffalo ny, we are at the southern edge of the Canadian shield. The temps you tent in are impressive as well as the accumulations of snow you embrac3 and seek out. What I'm getting around to saying is we know winter here and you impress me
Hard winter here and you are impressive.
Not always about the destination. Its the gifts we are given during the journey
We call the crystallized ice “ ice needles”.
Great video man, definitely one of your best and most enjoyable. Those views were on point. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love this channel it’s all about fun and adventures no trying to sell people stuff could watch this channel for hours well I have 😂
Thanks great video. Like how you do as you say. I use no cotton or down. I carry 2 tarps, one military poncho, one bivy sack, one sleeping bag good to -20, 2 military woobies, 1 home made multi fuel stove with fuel tabs, small package of charcoal. Many more items in my long range hunting pack. Stay esrm stay strong. Have fun.
I always enjoy your vids but this may be one of your best . Thanks for doing what you do.
All these videos are getting me psyched up for my backpacking trip at Big Bend National Park! Great video again Luke, keep them coming!
When the weatherman says snow is coming, I have thoughts of Bread, Milk and Toilet paper. Not of grabbing my pack and going off into the woods. But thank you for doing that and filming it for us.
You made me laugh, Thank You!😉😁
Absolutely beautiful. I love your adventures and gear reviews, you are among the best on CZcams.
So that ice is actually called needle ice. It occurs this time of year when there is still some liquid water in the soil that gets squeezed up and freezes upon encountering air that is well below freezing. Love that stuff.
Merry Christmas brother to you and the family, so glad you made it home safe.
Always, always LOVE the adventures my friend :-)
The wife unit, I literally busted out in laughter lol
Alright!!!! Waiting for some snow to come our way so I can have one....we've go the temps....just need the snow!!! Thanks for sharing Luke.
17:57 finally an honest channel. Thanks for vids mate keep it up and have a great Christmas!! 🎅🎅
Great Video. The views were spectacular!! Keep them coming.
Really appreciate your videos Luke. Thank you for the hard work.
Luke, man your making me want to go camp out in snow
The frost you mentioned is called “Hoar” frost, I believe Luke.
My mum was Canadian and that’s what she called it... cheers brother
Hoar Frost. Thanks for the adventure Luke!
Thank you Panzer!
- Luke
Yep Good job panzer. Hoarfrost. A white coating of ice crystals formed by sublimation of atmospheric water vapor on a surface. Also called white frost.
@@williamdykes2750 It is actually pretty rare in most parts of the country but it seems to be pretty common here in Western North Carolina.
@@ncmattj It's also common in the Cascades and the north eastern part of Washington State.
Awesome , I needed that ! I actually feel better after watching this video ! Much better then watching the news !
I think the reason I like watching these videos so much is not because of the gear, but because I am unable to do these trips myself.
Love driving around like that. Thanks for the video
I just sat down came home from work had a long 12 hour day at the hospital. Its time to relax and enjoy this video
Brother Luke what a adventure that was loved the place with the cliffs👍
Thanks for the many hours of entertainment & information. Merry Christmas!
Man I sure appreciate all your video's!! You a life saver during this pandemic!!
💖 Love the stories, love the adventure! Can't wait to see the next one! ❄
That's cool to see all the green bush in the winter and love view, I'm a little jealous of your place you have access to very beautiful and well done on the budget load out review, Thanks for sharing
I definitely think there's something in the big foot reports. I think big foot may be behind some of the many disappearances that have occurred over the years in the national parks right across the US. Yosemite national park seems to be a real hot spot for folks going missing. Crater Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains near you have had more than their fair share too
Hello Luke, you put out some awesome videos my friend. I have enjoyed all of them. I have been looking for Bigfoot/Sasquatch here in northern California Sierras for over 40 years. I have not seen one yet, however, I have seen a few strange backpackers. Take care out there, be safe, have fun and keep watching for Bigfoot. 🤗
I'll tell you a very short and 100% true story about "finding something neat" while just driving the old country back roads. About 15 years ago I was out driving the old 2 tracks in northwest Missouri, near Bethany. After travelling many miles down this overgrown 2 track I was surprised to see the 2 track abruptly open up into what appeared to be a divided 4 lane,(Still only dirt road, but definitely a 4 lane with 2 lanes width on each side of the open wide grassy divider). This 4 lane wonder went on for about a quarter of a mile and suddenly I could see a church steeple. Ended turning off the 4 lane onto a road that was 2 lanes divided by about a 4 acre wide park looking area. The divided road led me to a tiny little town...apparently long deserted, that was quite a bit overgrown with tall grass and weeds. 2 or three single building storefronts,(all emptied and cleaned out), what looked like a relatively modern (60's era),single level "school" complex built with red and tan brick, almost completely overgrown. No signs at all of any vandalism, completely locked up and secured...not a single broken window...Just entirely deserted. The school looked as if you could send in a few guys with a brush hog and some machetes and have the place back in business in less than a week. In my years of wandering I have come across similar places...though none as secluded and utterly abandoned and left alone as this.
On the northwest corner of "town" was the church...this was not some one room country chapel, but was instead built like a cathedral with all of the ornate and decorative brickwork , stained glass and huge doors that you would expect to see in a very affluent neighborhood in the finer rural areas just outside any major city...This building was impressive to see. Once again, Not one single sign of vandalism...not one broken window, stained glass or otherwise...locked tightly shut and inaccessible. As I have said before, I have found somewhat similar places in my past wanderings...but nothing that I have ever seen compared to this tiny town...Most places like this give you some kind of "feeling", whether that feeling is of past happiness or a feeling of dread and sorrow...This town gave me nothing but amazement. I tried to find the place again about a month later so that I could get photos and GPS Coordinates...but could not locate it..I have searched the internet as well as the library in Bethany...but have found nothing even suggesting that such a town ever existed. I have looked at satellite images on Google of the approximate area...and once again come up empty handed....Now THAT is what I would call "finding something neat".
This is so much fun being able to go along. Thanks Luke, I’m so glad I found you and your family. You feel like my extended family. Lol
Hey Luke, glad you made it home safe and sound, one question.?? Where is Moose?? Moose should be loose in the snow storm you're getting, miss seeing Moose, love the tips you give on finding budget gear, thanks for all you do and Susie putting up with you 😂😂☃🌬🌨. Take care and stay safe if your out driving, you have a great weekend. God bless you and your Family always. 🇺🇸☕️
after the traffic report, I would turn around and camp another night, your safer in the woods..lol. Love the Overnight adventures.
I am 75 now but as a youngster I had many many bare Knuckle fights and also did some Boxing with gloves.Then through my life I still kept training on the punch bag till a few years ago and yes it certainly helped destroy my wrists ,useing M14's,Bushmasters and Russian & 7.62X54R 150 aswell as 175 grain rounds didn't help my shoulders actually made me use both eyes and shoulders. I put Boxing as the main cause to my presentday pains ! Be Blessed. Nice Vid as always. Be Blessed
I love watching your videos. Thank you for making them.
Yes, The Predator SUCKED.
Interesting adventure as always, thanks for sharing.
41:00 "Road's clearing up, getting a little bit of speed," (...butt's unclenching) lol, thanks for the great video, luke!
Merry Christmas!
Use the gears when driving in the snow. I hate when people brake or stop when going uphill. Keep the pace or u n everyone behind you will get stuck unless you have AWD or 4x4. My first season in 5 years with front wheel drive it sucks! Thanks for the outing Luke!!
Another great adventure Luke! I felt like I was on some crazy ride at the fair when we were riding in the car. 🚘
Luke back at it again with another new video 🤙
Hey, Luke!!! Love your overnight and adventure videos! We live vicariously through you as we don't get out as much as we would like. We've often considered trying back packing...but while watching your videos we frequently see trails that would be great for mountain or gravel bikes. We'd get out there and WISH we had brought our bikes instead! LOL!!! Thanks for the awesome videos! Love them! And Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
Beautiful scenery. Beautiful snow. I lived in NC for many, many years and you are right, people can't drive in the snow, Lol. I don't miss the humid heat, skeeters and chiggers or that awful pine pollen but I do miss the beauty of NC and the mountain air. I'm to old and disabled to get out anymore for wild camping but we still hit the camp grounds so I really enjoy your videos. What I appreciate most is your honest reviews without pushing some product. Stay safe and keep on trekkin'.
I thank you Luke for your videos, I enjoy everyone of them. I can go camping with you without leaving my house. Love it.
LOVE the music & watching the roads traveled. FANTASTIC!!
I seen a helicopter trimming up a power lines through the wood once. I pulled off in someone's driveway and watched. It was awesome. When I came back through the same road they landed for the evening and I couldn't believe how big that blade was.
Always enjoy your vids, Keep them coming!
Can't wait to see the next snow adventure from this December 8, 9 and 10. I had planned on camping for this one until the snow totals started staying firm on all the models so I bailed and booked a condo in Lake Lure. I've never seen so much tree damage from a snowstorm as this one and did you see the size of those flakes?!? 126 hours without power. So glad I brought all my camping gear. Man it was a cold week. Hope your adventures were safe ones!
Glad I didnt waste my money on it! Thanks for the heads up Luke!
Thanks for good videos. Growing up in Manitoba, I appreciate your adventures in the snow and all the camping info. Stay safe.
Very interesting and enjoyable video Luke. Thanks so much.
yeah another overnight video! couldn't click the video fast enough!
Beautiful indeed!!
Looked like a lot of fun to me! Hope all is well with you and your family
Good advice on checking for ticks.
If you bring a chair that will hold your pack it's a reason to setup your chair first. Still check it for ticks but chances should be lower.
I love that concept and accident happens and acting happy it's totally up to you and where you are walking and how you are and where you go how safe are you where you are in your environment
Hell, I'm in Wisconsin and people don't know how to drive in snow. Actually they do know but they forget how so the first storm is always fun to sit warm at home and watch the wrecks on the news.
The little blue/gray bird is a Nuthatch. They stay upside down on the tree trunk. We would watch them all the time when we would visit my husband's parents. So cute. They make a beeping sound.
Luke, I worry about your little, red ears!! Lol! I know you use your Toboggan at times but you need earmuffs! Lol!! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures! It makes people like me who are on Disability and who are Clutzes, live vicariously through you!! Much love from Kansas!!
Haha that is so sweet but the ears are good. I'm HOT natured and those ears are red when it's hot and when it's cold. :D
- Luke
Awesome video can’t wait till the next one
Awesome vid man, keep 'em coming!
