I am 70 and have been camping (in caravans, tents and motor homes) for 50-odd years. I am still camping in tents and believe you can always learn new things. Your videos are very good. Here in Europe it is much more regulated and open fires are often forbidden because of the fire risk. It's gas barbecues. But the appeal of camping - waking up in the morning and smelling the grass, nature - hasn't worn off for me. Thank you.

Another great video. Thank you the effort you put into these! My 2 cents: when car camping, default to comfort (within reason). Always use a tent 1-2 persons more than on your group; go for a sleep pad at least 3” thick, and if you really want to sleep well, absolutely bring a full size pillow from home (you’ll want it in the car when it’s someone else’s turn to drive)! Save the light weight, cramped and less comfy gear for backpacking. Of course you can use BP gear to car camp, but it is not nearly as comfortable and convenient. If you do both enough, you will eventually find yourself with dedicated car and backpack gear kits with only limited gear overlap (for me, headlamp and sleeping bags are about all). Happy trails everyone!

Although I agree with you, I personally live in a very small place and I also have a car with a tiny booth, so I basically only have backpacking gear 🙃 all my camping stuff fits in a suitcase and my car just about fits two people and their backpacks 😅 the biggest difference is in the weight, I pack some small but heavy things in the car but not when hiking

Over the past 5 years we have gradually been upgrading our car camping gear. We are usually 2 adults, 2 kids in a Subaru impreza (often with an extra adult), so we don't have a ton of space for bulky items. We aim for our camping gear to hit the sweet spot of somewhere between car camping and backpacking equipment: more compact that most car camping gear, but sturdier than most backpacking gear. The exception to this rule is our tent: we have a Eureka Chic-Choc 5 and it is perfect for our family. Definitely get a tent with a full fly, vestibule, and space for one more person than the number of folks in your group!

My advice would be to make sure you have a VERY well-rounded first aid box and brush up on simple first aid before camping. Most kits have bandages, triple antibiotic cream, etc. 1 thing I can't recommend enough is burn cream. Fire often pops and hot embers can land in places you don't think of. Also if you're using a propane lantern - those get hot. This is first-hand experience talking. During 1 backpacking trip, I sat down on an unstable rock - this was years ago before lightweight chairs were big and when backpacking you don't want a lot of weight. I fell sideways and the bottom of my arm came in contact with the top of a propane lantern. Burn cream saved me. If I hadn't had the cream, we probably would have had to pack and leave that night or the next morning. Don't worry - I did follow up with my doctor when I got home. He said it was good that I had the burn cream.

Amanda, when I go car camping I use an 8 man tent with AC/Heat. A small refrigerator/Freezer. As for air mattress, I have a queen size inflatable mattress that I use 1200 count sheets and pillows. I use a Honda generator to power every thing up including the LED rope to light up the tent and camp site. I use a propane portable grill that has a grill and a flat top. The most important part of car camping is a camp fire for hotdogs and more important, S’mores.

@@Wondering_Fireball Hi. Perhaps it's a cultural difference between the States and Europe, Portable generators are really frowned on here because of the noise, fumes and the general feeling they are being wasteful. And open fires are rarely allowed because of the fire risk. I suppose that's the great thing about camping - its variety. Each to his own. But even so I would still hate to be next to you......

My boyfriend And I are going camping, I've been going camping all my life for almost all summer, every summer. And I mean camping, not camp sites, we'd go deep into the woods for months where no one could bother us, so fun!! It's going to be my boyfriend's first time camping. I bought the 2 of us a 6 person tent. I've never, EVER been in a tent the size you're in. For 6 of us my family got a tent that would have fit 3-4 queen mattresses 😳 Didn't know tents were even made this small until buying one for myself this year! Anyways, I'm excited to show off my camping skills, since he's a city boy and I grew up on a farm and camping all my life 😂😏

Newly Updated Safety Suggestions; I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living. I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc... People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself. Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this. I feel that you , and others KZbinrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful. I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors. I shared this with another traveler as I watched their KZbin channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others. Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience. Although, you may have knowledge of this already, I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone. *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle. You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage Do your research for the best fit for you Carry Several Extra portable phone chargers, and cables. Consider theses items: *Mini portable power charging station. I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices. *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception. Research to see what you prefer. *Very Inportant: Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location. There are various types of these devices, and including signal that can be used when boating or camping situations. There is also the Satellite communication devices, that can provide SOS emergency signal and GPS, and provide satellite text messaging capabilities anywhere. *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders. Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone. You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS emergency GPS devices will be a good fit for you. *Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger *vehicle battery jumper cables *Vehicle Jumper cables *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy Smoke, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful... *Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly. Exterior vehicle cameras Interior vehicle cameras *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights *Portable spotlights, and lanterns Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies. Use your own discretion regarding the use of any weapons. Don’t forget to bring Bear Spray Pepper spray Where is allowed If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc. However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings. Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks. Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc. Although, I just noticed your KZbin channel, and other similar channels. You seem Very Aware of your surroundings and Alert, and you may be aware of many of these suggestions, however, I Don’t know, so I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions. Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions. Keep your vehicle gas filled Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty. Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on. Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, washer fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze. Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set to rotate. Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very. Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it. It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling. Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors. Keep Enjoying Yourself, Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature Just..Please continue to Be Positive, Safe, and Alert.. Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All. God Bless You, and everyone Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, etc. Please Be Safe... Peace and Wellbeing...

May I suggest getting a fleece blanket that zips up like a sleeping bag. When it's warm or hot out they will keep you plenty warm. Used as a liner for your main sleeping bag it will roast you out. For lighting I like to use a propane lantern, throws plenty of light around your site. Also runs a single burner stove. Finally, I've been tent/car camping for over 50 years now and probably have enough equipment to outfit a whole company. There's a real art to bringing only what you'll need.

Agree! My back is what we in Australia intellectually call "munted", but I still love camping, so I was looking at those! I actually wound up going with an Outwell Dreamboat 16, which is 1cm thicker than the biggest offerings from Exped, the Zempire Monstamat, the Sea To Summit Comfort Deluxe, etc. because, again, horribly maimed & every millimetre of comfort counts. Also, I just didn't have Exped money. I'm pretty sure those things cost more than my actual childhood bed did! I will admit the Expeds are absolutely lovely, though, & rolling around on them in-store was such a pleasure (Outwell is a European brand, so I ultimately had to buy my Dreamboat blind [best blind buy of my life; thank G_d, for what it cost]). I also have a (much narrower & shorter) Sea To Summit Comfort Deluxe for use on my teeny 16cm-high 65cm-wide 190cm-long cot I keep in my little 3-man storm tent. Forget the luxury of a 10+cm mat, for a minute - boxed sides are the future. I never realised just how much usable sleeping space is lost to the sloping sides of traditional mats until I tried a boxed one. Never again. 😉

Great ideas! I’ve only been Glamping a few times with my family and friends. And I’m still learning. So thanks for sharing your amazing tips! I especially love using headlamps too! But I would like to suggest that if you’re packing oral or IV meds (and makeup), they should be kept cool inside an insulated bag or cooler...separate from food if possible. Also if only 2 people are going to be in a larger tent or cube for more wiggle room and gear it can get a little cold even on Summer nights. So sleeping in a sleeping bag on an air mattress inside a smaller tent placed within the larger tent or cube will help keep you relatively warmer. This hack also comes in handy for when there is a long power outage at home. Of course spraying and sealing the outer tent will keep you dry. But just in case of an unexpected leak, sleeping inside of the little tent within your larger tent or cube will help keep you dry. This works best for car camping.😉👍

Do you keep a tourniquet on your person at all times when you're out and about? Maybe even a small med kit as well? I'd be curious to know what yall do for self protection. I probably wouldn't go anywhere unless I was strapped lol, but I know different states have different laws and everything. I don't know if you've already done a video on personal security or not, but if not. There's a video idea for ya lol.

This has a lot of good info. I’m camping at a campground in a local state park next month and will have an electrical set up, so I’ll be eating using my itakipot- but that won’t work if I start going camping with more people.

Good item for your "med kit" is individual use super glue tubes. Home Depot for a just a few bucks. Another one is cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly for fire starters. Cheers!

Would those sleeping pads be comfortable enough for in a car? I'm gonna be building a platform in my car and seelping in my car as I road trip America.

My 2 cents worth, for cold weather/winter camping, you need to give as much consideration to your mattress/underlay as your sleeping bag. You can lose a LOT of bodywarmth through the floor if you aren't insulated properly and the underside of your sleeping bag gets squished by your weight, removing a lot of the insulating properties. An air mattress is no good because you'll spend the night laying atop a cushion of freezing cold air. And the ground itself acts like a massive heat sink continually drawing the heat from your body without insulation so... definitely use an insulating foam mattress for cold weather. It makes a HUGE difference.

I use a specific camping pillow because in New England, it gets way too moist to use a bedroom pillow without it getting icky. I'm envious of the dry weather in the southwest where a home pillow is an option.

Is that an REI Kingdom table your are using? Been thinking of getting that but reviews saw it’s heavy and doesn’t fold down too much
@amanda.outside
@amanda.outside 4 жыл бұрын
It is the kingdom table. It basically just folds in half and it's definitely not an ultralight table, but for car camping, I don't mind that. It's simple and easy to store in the car and to set up. I wish it was a little bit bigger, but overall it's a good table.
