I asked my wife to marry me there while tent camping. Over the years work, kids, and life has stopped me from spending the same time out there. We purchased a travel trailer and have camped as a family but driving and setting up a camper is not the same as hiking in finding a spot setting up a tent and enjoying the weather and nature up front and personal. I have been watching YouTube videos and came across your channel and as I watched your videos they brought me back to my childhood and the things I enjoyed. I have since pulled out some of my old camping gear, I purchased another backpack for my son, an mss sleep system, an msr stove and water filter as well as an ultralight tarp. I have planned an overnight hike up the Appalachian trail near our house in the spring. I am hoping he will enjoy it as much as I did and we will be able to continue with more future trips into the Catskills and Adirondacks. Thank you for the videos you post, they are very enjoyable and informative. Keep up the great work.<br />Michael from New JerseyMike Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855945730363248498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038849719106294025.post-42855244414523533862014-12-22T12:49:17.510-05:002014-12-22T12:49:17.510-05:00Been watching your vids for a while now and I gues...Been watching your vids for a while now and I guess it's time to get into the mix. Love your outlandishly positive attitude. After a while it became what I looked forward too. I've found my self with a renewed sense of a love of all things outdoors.

I am a 23 your old from Maryland, I'm a career fire fighter so in my off time i used to find my self not always knowing what to do with my down time. I have always loved being outside, as a kid i was always outside either hunting, fishing, hiking or things like that. Since watching your videos I have gone on quite a few night hikes, they are very relaxing in i see why you like them so much. I also have a camping trip planed here in the next few weeks with my brother and cousin so that should be a good time. Also after watching your videos I have started to build my camping pack witch has also gotten my dad and youngest brother go and start one to. All in all I would like to thank you and TODGR for giving me that push to get back out in the woods.<br />Thanks your pal, FishAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11327258238862970891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038849719106294025.post-51957563521698268842014-12-21T20:23:07.404-05:002014-12-21T20:23:07.404-05:00TOGR inspires me to get out there and enjoy the gr...TOGR inspires me to get out there and enjoy the great oudoors, camping, hiking, kayaking and more.

It's always helpful and fun to go through your reviews and get a little of your knowledge to use in the future. As a 16 year old that has to furnish his own gear and plan his own trips it can be difficult making big hikes and what not happen but your channel helps ease the load. I especially like military surplus videos because it's fairly indisputable that its perfect for anyone on a budget that also needs durability. Hope to see some more on that! I have a 76 mile hike planned with some friends in a few weeks and can't wait as it will be the longest one yet. Hope you have a merry Christmas and happy Holidays! -HaydenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591982868383885000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038849719106294025.post-36098628289577591292014-12-20T16:34:45.367-05:002014-12-20T16:34:45.367-05:00Hi Luke

I've always had the dream to do some survival/backpacking but I have never had an example until I saw your video's. Thanks to you I've made my first trip two years before. Since then I have learnt very much by myself but mostly from watching your video's. I'm happy that you answer questions that I/we ask!<br />Thank you for this year and have a nice Christmas and a safe new year! I wish you all the best!<br />ChristiaanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297630187444172916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038849719106294025.post-86495876530295915972014-12-20T05:31:01.675-05:002014-12-20T05:31:01.675-05:00Luke, I'm hooked on your overnight adventures ...Luke, I'm hooked on your overnight adventures and dayhikes!<br />I wait impatiently for you to post the next adventure to get me by to the next "fix".<br />I'm not proud of it, but there you have it...<br /><br />I'm from the land of Fjällräven and we have this proud tradition of hiking far and with a heavy load, far far away from anything and anyone. But life sort of gets in the way of undertakings of that magnitude. So your shorter, lighter hikes in the neighbourhood (sort of) have been very inspirational to me! I just love the idea of everyday adventure so now we're out hiking every weekend :-D. <br /><br />I've gone from thinking that camping was a summer thing to taking my hammock for a full moon night out in November. I've lured my significant other to the northern parts of our beautiful country on a two week long road trip and hike in September, just before the first snow. That was his first wildcamping trip ever and he loved it. So Luke, you've totally changed my take on what is possible when, and shown me how little it takes to get out there and enjoy nature.<br />You've literally changed my life - thank you!<br /><br />I could also point out how much I love your levelheaded approach to life in general and how much I appreciate your lack of macho nonsense, but that would probably be regarded as borderline flattery so I better not ;-) But please keep up the good work. You mean a lot to a lot of people :-)<br /><br />I wish you and your family A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869074221477711300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038849719106294025.post-7475964586323917252014-12-20T04:32:10.245-05:002014-12-20T04:32:10.245-05:00Hey Luke!

Then I see you and Suzie and LukeyBear having so much fun, and you offer so much encouragement and good advice that I'm thinking maybe I can do a bit more than just envy you through your videos. So I got my kit together and added a few modern bits according to your suggestions, and went off for a week's camping by the sea a few k's from home. Not only did I survive, I was comfortable even through a thunderstorm and enjoyed every moment. And I am following your advice, walking whenever I can - losing weight, feeling great. And now I am confident enough to plan a long canoe/ camp/ trekking trip in northern Ontario next autumn. If I can figure out how, I'll document it on Youtoob. If it wasn't for you and your family, and the way all TOGR people care so much and offer support, I'd just moulder away on the couch. You have helped me reclaim my life, and I'm grateful.

I am an avid hunter and bushcrafter and although I love it here, I have always wanted to spend time in the eastern woodlands yet haven't had the opportunity to do so. I really enjoy your videos because they have inspired me to want to travel into the seemingly beautiful Appalachians, but also because of the beautiful scenery and settings of your videos. I love the positivity and enlightened mood you bring whenever you make a video and I look forward to seeing some more my friend.

We would buy and compare gear, a lot of it was trial and error. Some things we would get were winners and some weren't but we always had fun. He died in a car wreck last year and the only reason I didn't go crazy was because I was able to spend a lot of time outdoors. TOGR not only helps me make informed purchases but it reminds me a lot of the conversations my brother and I would have about whatever we were trying out. He would have enjoyed your reviews just as much as I do.
