Spectacular Boreal Forest. So right to keep it secret. Too many no longer respect nature. It would be trashed and destroyed, in a flash. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

Wow! All that beautiful green carpet moss! Magnificent!

I am glad you released a video without pseudoscientific nonsense for a change. This is a great video, and I love it!

yes go for it Susie, I really would love to see you and Luke on an Adventure together in a Van that would really be Awesome & thank you in advance for sharing on KZfaq into the Secret Boreal Forest - Uncharted Adventure Strength and Honor 👍💯💖💖💖💖💖

Thanks guys. I'm a senior citizen, out of shape, and never been much of a hiker....but I love trees and love the forest. The way you guys filmed this made me feel like I was there with you. Thank you so much. Having been pretty much in my house most of the time for the last year and a half this was so refreshing. I could almost inhale the green and earthy forest.

Nice to see you and Susie out and about, really beautiful camera work as usual. Love the boreal forest and you are right about keeping it to yourself.

Man, a forest THAT clean is a paradise, don't complain

I live in Alberta, Canada. We are going through a whole week of record breaking heat. The good news is that a lot of our forest is boreal.

Yes, definitely yes, Susie, go for that van! ...and that forest is like a fairytale land!

Outstanding to see people putting safety first always thank you Like and Susan for being safe

The forest your in looks stunning and the van idea sounds great Susie. Sending you both love and good vibes.

Yes to the van . They are very useful. Great video guys.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Yes, please keep that to yourselves! It would get destroyed otherwise!

Yes ... the van is a great 💡 idea... would love an van adventure too

It’s been in the 90’s in Bowling Green Ky. When I get to go camping, I love the total experience. I love sitting by a stream, river, or brook; and listening to the sounds around me. I love the fire and the way it invokes a reflective inward. Then I have the best time cooking on the fire! It makes me so happy. Sleeping is sooooo awesome when the night sounds are singing their lullabies. Thank you for all you bring to us and I hope you never quit

Go get that van Susie!👍 That location is perfect.💯 I can't wait for the overnight episode. Safe trails Luke and Susie.🙂

YES!!! Would love to see you in "van life" vehicle.

Yes Susie! We need to see more women out there exhibiting confidence and empowerment in solo camping! I am so pumped about this idea! You can do this!

Van is an awesome idea; you can outfit it in so many ways and the safety aspect of being inside is also a good reason.

YES!! Get the van! Add a comfortable cot store your gear in a plastic bin under the bed. You have room to move around inside. That way the sand is not in your bed! And if you get spooked ( always park with the front ready to drive out) jump up front and drive away. If you're lucky maybe find a van with the tent roof extension. Loved this video and thanks for the gear links!

Susie its your choice. I had a chevy van back in day i made a permanent bed in the back with storage under it i Absoulty loved it. Go to a party. Had a place to sleep it off. So many positive's. many many over night/weekend fishing trips. Beach trips sometimes even just a cruise up north bam nap in the van. Currently 80 f. With 70% humity. But cooler then it has been

The moss adds a sense of stealth and serenity. What a find !!!

Would love a vancation... camping everywhere! Love your idea, do it girl. Enjoy life. Only once around..... would also bring my tent.

A nice custom fitted regular van can be really comfortable for almost any kind of camping trip. 40 years ago my Dad bought my Mom a custom van for Christmas to surprise her and she just loved it! Me and my Brother would "borrow" it for road trips and camp in it for long weekends and it was such a blast. It's a great idea and it can be done for a reasonable amount. You only live once so go get your dream!! Love you Both!!

Hey Luke and Susan beautiful Forrest thanks for sharing hope y'all are doing well much love your way be safe have a wonderful Thursday 💙❤️💛💜🧡💚

I had a 51 International Metro Micro van, went from Tacoma, Washington to Columbia, Missouri in the mid 90's. Awesome experience! It was sooo slow, and broke down sooo many times. Wouldn't trade the memories for a million bucks!

You are so lucky to have a wife that shares your passion. Never forget that.

I am not sure how long i have been watching. Got to be ten plus years

So lush & deep green. Such beautiful is God's creation for us to enjoy. I don't blame you for keeping it a secret. Please never tell where that special place is located. Keep it as beautiful as it is now. Thank you so much for taking us along. Lovely eye candy.

Suzy and a van... YES! A friend of mine is very petite, and as a woman that OFTEN travels alone, and wanting multi-purpose, she purchased a van with driver and one passenger seat only, (white, to help reflect heat) uses it "plain" as her daily driver, but easily stows a cot and mattress, set or two of storage-bin style plastic drawers, water jug, camp stove, ice chest, porta-potty etc. and has a WONDERFUL time "adventuring"! :D She added trailer hitch for towing small trailer for her off road motorcycle, can load bicycles in the back, whatever she wants! :D Everything is light enough for her to add/remove by herself, and after adding some insulation, she uses it pretty much year-round for camping, as well as general travel. It gets good fuel mileage, not bad for parking etc. :D

Suzie absolutely - Van is a great idea, safer and more room 😎✊

I picked up a 1999 Pontiac Montana Van and took out all but the front 2 chairs. My 2 Rottweilers loved. The young one at the time ( Sheba ) would sit on top of my small Craftsman tool box with 3 drawers and a open top. She was so proud of that. The second Rottweilerwould sit in the passenger seat. Her name was Queen and she picked out Sheba when she was about 4 months old. So we are driving along and I passed a semi truck and the Van rocks all over the place. So I thought the van was coming apart. It turned out my crazy Sheba was trying to attack the Semi's. So all the way from Illinois to Texas that van was rocking everytime we passed a semi truck. She even did it in my Beast. A 2001 GMC Duramax 3500 4X4, 4 door, 8 foot bed.

Get a Ford E-series, parts are everywhere, or Mitsubishi if you want factory 4x4. Insulate the walls and make some simple drawer system and sleep on top of it.

The gnome forest! Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great idea, I e always loved the convenience and room in a van. I had an old Astro van back when I lived in the Midwest, took many great trips with my friends up north, around Lake Michigan, the Mississippi River, up towards Wisconsin, Minnesota , it was great. We had room to fit a bunch of guys, had great conversations, GET IT..

I LOvE having my old 1999 Dodge Roadtrek 190 Popular. Fully self-contained, on board generator provides AC anytime I need it. Runs off of the vehicle fuel tank. Heat, stove, water heater run off propane. Total freedom. Allows me to take my dog and know she is always in a climate controlled environment. Check out the ‘vintage’ Roadtreks. ‘73-2002. The safety of being able to get to my bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and never have to open the door is priceless! My cane at a cost of $18,500 and I made sure to budget for future repairs as it is an old van. I spend lots of time in east Tn, western NC and VA. Handles our mountains very well. Go for the van! You will love it.

Beautiful place for sure. Thank you for sharing it with me.

I had a 1978 chevyvan G20 for 16 years, orginal battery, 15 mpg on highway...went many places, slightly customized...never packed for camping, just threw whatever in. Gave it off to my nephew, he drove for another two years before selling off. went to a pickup, only to realize the first thing packed in was the last thing to come out. I think you will enjoy the travels with a van, as long as you are used to low gas milage ...I miss that van to this day, and still long for one of the newer taller ones.

We have a great boreal forest here in Maine. It's called the Maine North Woods. You two are absolutely right about the van idea. If something hits the fan while you're sleeping, you just go straight to the driver seat and go ! When sleeping keep the doors locked !

Thanks Luke and Susie. I hope all is well with you and yours. Strength and Honor.

It's been hot here!!!90s western NY here... but for the van!!!!if you mean like a caravan!!! Yes!!! Great idea

Yes!!!!!!!! To the van!!! Awesome video guys. Forest was beautiful. Im in Lewisville and it has been so HOT! I was jealous that it was 55 degrees there! I’m ready for fall!!!!

I think a van is a great idea!! But I think you should go with an old 1970s Chevy van. Paint a mountain mural on it with the bubble window and shag carpeting. That would be so badass!!!

It’s always great to see you and Susie out in nature and you share and teach so much have a great and safe holiday weekend

I was up in cresent city last weekend. Temps were 65 with lows in the the upper 50s, every day. And it was paradise

A van would be a PERFECT idea! You won't regret it one bit! I would suggest.. anything! Anything at all.

That’s a great location!! Excellent! Thx 4 sharing! 👍

Love seeing you two out on an adventure. You get along so well and it's lovely to see and hear. I just love this area you're in too! Enjoyable video!

Susie's Van is a fantastic idea big thumbs up!

The two of you are out often enough, I'm surprised you DON'T have one! Makes a whole lot more sense for you than a car.

Go for it Susie... my parents were van people when I was a child, and I miss it. High 80s here in NW Georgia.

I would love to see a van, hiking, camping, backpacking, and Luke & Suzy cooking camping food!

It's like I am there with you guys... I am always smiling when I visit. Peace...

Thank you for sharing this awesome adventure and do keep your secret. It would be heartbreaking to have it destroyed or ruined by irresponsible people. I had the fortune of living in Japan outside of Tokyo as a child and I can still speak "skoshi" Japanese. It is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and my favorite memories are of Nikko Park with views of Mt. Fujiyama. Our maid lived in the gorgeous countryside and her home reminded me of the Samurai homes. Today, here in Richmond, the temperature is 94, overcast but feels like 104. Susie, a van would be an awesome idea. I own a 2019 GMC Savana 2500 cargo van with a 6 liter V8, not fuel efficient, but I absolutely love it. All I did was move my man cave out of my house into the van and it is super comfortable. However, with the heat I have three small fans and a Vornado fan to cool the back area. Two of the small fans are evaporative coolers. A Jackery 240 run my fans, a string of Luminoodle lights and a vacuum cleaner. A Jackery 500 (with two 100w solar panels) will keep my fridge going when the engine is not running. My bed is a Coleman cot with a Teton base mat to sleep on. I placed a section of deck railing over the cot to give it stability and keep a little firmness to my bed; I disliked the trampoline effect from the cot. All of my clothing and emergency survival gear are stored in two plastic chest of drawers. My rescue and emergency extraction gear, i.e. traction boards, axe, rope, straps, fire extinguisher, etc., are wall-mounted. My privacy curtains are camouflage and were made for a kid's bedroom. Mesh doors keep the flying insects outside. I made my own awning and supports are two Elephant tent poles. A rear foldup cargo basket carry a 20lb propane tank, extra water, stove and other gear; extra fuel on remote camping trips. A roof rack will carry my SUP board and eventually a Thule long storage box. Magnets, industrial velcro, cable ties and bungee cords will become your best friends. Many of my female friends out west are buying the Nissan NV200 and the Ford Connect model vans as they are smaller and more fuel efficient.

You’ll love a van. I drove a ‘65 Chevy van when I was in high school in the late ‘70’s. The stories I could tell. Holy crap did we have a great time.

Man what a gorgeous spot. You guys kept it very low impact as well, which is awesome. Nice job Luke and Susie!

Great trip! Love the spot you picked. Suzy, get the van! You'll love it and it would make great videos.

Holy cow, I love the little picnic setup you have

Amazing Gem of a location! I would like to see what y’all come up with in Van camping. I have been thinking about that a lot lately as well.

Go for it Suzy, i am sure it will be a great experience , all the best to you and Luke from Liverpool Great BrItain.

Awesome video, thank you for sharing

Loved the 70's

Thank you for sharing your trip. I appreciate how you respect and treat each other and the forest well. Van or truck. Great idea.

Oh my gosh! A van would be great!!!!!

This is one of THE most Beautiful 4k video Ive watched

This place is beautiful, saw this place before in your previous video and loved this place. Still so beautiful, nature is beautiful

I loved my 1970 Dodge B200 / Open Road conversion campervan. It had the extended height fiberglass top and was in really good shape for it's age. A runs forever 318 V8, with all the comforts of home. I would take it out for 1 - 2 weeks at a time. Kicking myself now for selling it. I could never replace it for what little I had into it.

Great idea Susie!

Great video guys! I think a van would definitely add an extra shade of diversity to your channel. I think you were right to keep the location secret. People can be trusted to be responsible. Strength & honor.

Its beautiful there! Van is a good idea. Safer...bit more comfortable. 4 wheel drive and good has mileage would ne nice.

Back in the 90s I restored a '76 Chevy van,and I can comfortably say I have missed it ever since I let it go. For overlanding and car camping, it is definitely superior to a doghouse on the back of a pickup. Just for the floor space and head room alone. The only thing I would do different now is a 4WD conversion, lift, and a 3/4 or 1T conversion for better towing capacity. For SURE, I would do it again

What an wonderful Place 🙏🏼😍 So many moss 🥰🥰🥰 Amazing Video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Greetings from Germany 😘 Ela

Yes Susie on the van. I love the idea

That place is beautiful Ty for sharing

Awesome luke!

Good idea 💡 Susie! I also agree with having the option to not exit the vehicle. It's important if you are alone and need a quick getaway.

Outstanding idea Susan

We have lots of these boreal forests. Thanks for this one.

118 in Woodland Washington Monday . Just fixing to have some coffee brewed in an old campfire coffee pot .

Thanks for sharing this location with me. I am now planning a trip to see this amazing place in person.

A van sounds awesome!

Love seeing every step sink in .

...looks like a fun time, stay safe and enjoy...

Had a van in the 90’s. Had a stove, ice chest, table and a hammock to sleep in.

Awesome idea Suzie’s camper van 🚐🎒⛺️

That is gorgeous, wish we had that in Florida

Another great video y'all. Beautiful forest the way God intended it to be. Thanks for sharing

Looks like your livin' rough lol great video 👍👌👏 beautiful place. Thanks for all you do!

I miss my old Ford van I lived in it in the southern Rockies in Colorado for 2 yrs. Those were the good ol days

Wishing you all the best in finding the perfect van for Susie. 💯❤👍

A used ambulance is a great start to a camper. All kinds of drive lines and bodies to choose from.

Some amazing places hidden around the southern Appalachian mountains.

Great to see another two wolf adventure 😀

Beautiful Susie and Luke!

Thank you for the video.

Really enjoyed this trip and thank you for protecting the forest. Would love to see you guys do just one adventure Japanese style.

I am subscribed to a couple of Japanese buscraft/camping channels, and yes, they do go all out. I think a van would be “Vantastic"

Susie, love the idea of the 🚐 !!!

I have 92 GMC Vandura 2500 with the 5.7ltr engine. Updated motor, trans, suspension and installed some updated comforts. I like it because I can stand up inside and I can go 500 miles on a tank of fuel with the air on. Good video!
