Camping Essentials in my Toyota 4Runner after 4 years of travel I Living In An RV Full Time

[@chrisblazi932]

I have been impressed and in awe of your videos. You seem so natural and to be talking directly to me as if we were friends talking over coffee. I have a wanderlust spirit that is on pause for now. Your videos truly get me excited and most importantly prepared for my future endeavors. Thank You.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

So glad to hear the videos come across like that Chris!

[@carls4552]

OMG Cass. It's unbelievable how much stuff you have (had) in there. Thanks for sharing with us. Loved it.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Haha I know, I had way too much stuff haha!

[@mikestone9839]

Yep, funny how we pack things we think we can't live without and then 3 years later we say OH forgot I had that and have never used it! Cleaning out and repacking is something I try to do every year! LOL doesn't always happen.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Exactly!! Haha

[@carahupprich8359]

I’m so impressed that you only had that much to empty from your truck. I remember trading in one of my cars, and when I went to empty it while at the dealer (wasn’t anticipating leaving with a new car that day) I had so much crap that I ended up leaving a lot of it behind. My friend who came with me said “you just ruined the whole week for whoever has to clean out your car”.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hahaha! I think those cleaners have one of the hardest jobs!

[@davesayers5809]

Can't wait to see the Tundra and Camper setup!! Thanks for the video and God Bless!!!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Dave! Soon!

[@richardwagner3317]

Loved the idea of putting a patch on Jasper's pack asking before petting. Not all dogs are not as friendly as we wish. Appreciate the walk through.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

It's so true. Always good to ask before petting any dog. Thanks for watching Richard!

[@oldmillrd8153]

Half the stuff I carry in my Tacoma, dragging my trailer around, I rarely use but there is always that once in awhile when you're glad you have them. As for the solar Luci light I have 3 of them and use them all the time in and outside my trailer. It's free light and one less power drain on the camper. Can hang them up anywhere around the camp site for 6 hrs of free light. Oh, and if you think you carry a lot of stuff in the 4Runner just wait to you get a truck and a big truck at that.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Ahh good idea with the lantern, I need to start doing that. Thanks!

[@philt5782]

I always find it bitter sweet emptying a vehicle you are trading/selling for your new ride. Excitement and sadness at the same time. All the best with the Tundra Cass. Can't wait for the videos.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Phil! And you’re right it definitely was bitter sweet. Already missing it!

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

You are very organized! I think you are prepared to take car of yourself and the pets in about any circumstance. It will be fun, for us, to see how you outfit the trick and camper. That’s pretty exciting.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

So glad to hear you are looking forward to it Jimmy!

[@SoundWave209]

Love what you do and how you do it!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Marco!

[@kathymiskell7658]

Hi Cass! Great video! I also have the very same bear who has traveled with me on occasion. He now sits on my work desk to keep me company.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Love that he still keeps you company!

[@SharingtheRoad]

It's always fun learning the gear and essentials that make the cut. Thanks for walking us through!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

You're welcome, appreciate you watching!

[@Flap999]

One of my mottoes I have always lived by is "Better to have and not need than to need and not have". Caused a few tense moments with my ex-wife over the years but kept me out of many worse situations. 😄

[@SharingtheRoad]

Yes! So many things seem silly to keep "just in case" but when you really need it, they're critical to have around!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

So true!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hahah! Sometimes, you never know what you'll end up needing

[@ChrisArrowood7309]

Thanks for sharing! After many coupes ands sedans I just got my 2021 4R and am ready for some adventure! Thanks for all the ideas!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Have fun!

[@d14551]

I just ordered the same brand of windshield wipes for a long trip I will be taking soon. Thanks.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Safe travels!!

[@bsmukler]

I have another version of the Lifehammer (seatbelt cutter/window breaker) that I keep on its base but strapped to my Jeep’s roll cage above the driver’s door (I use the straps from the hand loop). I’d suggest finding some way to anchor yours within reach since an underwater event would also likely involve quite a tumble or rollover, making loose items impossible to find in a hurry. Also, in addition to the great ARB tire repair kit, they make a very handy tire deflator which speeds up the airing down process. I also carry a large capacity lithium jump starter, just in case.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Good tips, thanks for sharing Ben!

[@bsmukler]

You’re welcome!

[@glenlittlefield9869]

Hmmm....I must have missed the kitchen sink, LOL!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hahah! I should have fit that in there somewhere!

[@georgelucas6720]

I enjoyed all your items you keep in your vehicles. I'm proud to say I carry most of what you do. I classify the following as "Very important": Chapstick ( I own about 20 tubes because I always seem to have trouble finding them so I keep buying new ones, lol, hand lotion, sunscreen (I have a Miata), breath spray, gum, and tissues! I also keep napkins. The one single thing I never ever leave home without is my small Swiss Army knife!!. And last, but not least, flushable wet wipes, and I won't go into detail the many uses they provide, heh. Thanks for your video, I'm always happy to get a notice from you! Happy traveling!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Now that is a great list of necessities!

[@kerryloper6142]

I love watching these types of videos just in case there is something I might not have thought of. Lol. Sad to see the 4 runner go but excited to see where you’re headed with the truck camper!! ☮️❤️

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Kerry!!

[@noseefood1943]

Can you do a video on where to make your domicile address for registration, insurance, phone bill, mail etc?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

I will try but I'm not an expert on it. I'd recommend checking out the Escapees resources on that, they are much more thorough than I could be on that topic.

[@tarac5137]

That was helpful (and entertaining 😄), thanks for sharing. I jotted down a few ideas for my van. Scritches to Napoleon and Jasper. ✌🏻

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Glad it was helpful Tara!

[@whitleyrobertson7070]

It all looks essential and smart choices for the most part, now the opportunity to get it all a new space in the truck:-0 love that you are comfortable with a minimal amount of stuff……I keep my SUV and BC 16 very light of stuff…..

[@TailsofWanderlust]

It's all in bins in the back of the new truck haha - no where near as organized! Glad you go light weight, it is so much easier

[@ron343]

Hi Cass not sure if you watch overland lady she flipped her 4 Runner in Alaska tough truck. Just bought a 2022 Jeep Willys

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Oh wow! I haven't seen that but will take a look

[@whaterfoo]

Hi Cass. Spent the last 6 weeks in Florida hitting all the beach towns. On my way back toward Colorado slowly. I have stuff I haven't even touched and can't wait to throw them out at the next stop. Safe travels

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Sounds like you are on an amazing road trip. Safe travels & enjoy!

[@nicholebellaesthetics9283]

Hey lady, Enjoyed your video!! I literally just got my 4runner 2 days ago! Moved to Florida 3 weeks ago, Can't wait to get it all set up and do some adventuring myself , And of course along with my fur buddy Ryder!! Thank you for feeding my brain with all kinds of fun things I can pack it up with. Good luck with the new rig.. Happy Camping!🏕

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Love that you two will be adventuring in a 4Runner! Enjoy it and have fun in FL!

[@wesmccoy7061]

Loved the video. U sure had a ton stored lol 😆

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Haha a lot more than I need that's for sure!

[@peterrydlewski7693]

Just curious. What type of recurve do you shoot? Great hobby. Thanks the great content. So funny how seemingly ordinary topics are entertaining to watch. Safe travels.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

It's a 35lb recurve. Not sure on much more about the specs, as I still have a lot to learn about it

[@edrumsas5420]

Safe Travels! Cheers

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Ed!

[@whiteowlone]

Gotta see your recurve setup. That’s awesome!! Do you shoot 2 or 3 fingers? Luv the stuff for the dog!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

3 fingers, below the arrow. Someday I'll have that in a video!

[@whiteowlone]

@@TailsofWanderlust ah… I think that’s Olympic style….limbs parallel to the body. Very structured for someone who lives on the breeze…. 😂!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Haha! I've had some great people giving me tips along the way

[@kathyk-d1802]

Dang that’s a lot of stuff. Like how you are using a garbage can to empty everything into.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

It was the only thing that would hold it all haha!

[@CaliAAA72]

Damn how long does it take to get your truck?!?! Lol. We have seen like five videos telling us you are getting a new truck. We are on pins and needles waiting. Kidding of course. Great video.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hahah! The truck video is finally out!

[@lisandromunoz-escobar6646]

Hi there, Are you going to sell those Molle panels? I been trying to get some but I can’t justify the purchase, at least for a new set. Anyway, just curious. Thank you.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hi - Yes I did sell the molle panels already. There are other brands on Amazon, but I don't know the quality of them, although they are cheaper in price

[@lawrencelee2599]

When is the tour of the New Tundra?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hopefully next week! Setting out with it tonight.

[@MNP208]

I’m trying to imagine you carrying Jasper on your back in a backpack! 😂

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hahaha! It would not be easy

[@sabishiikarasu4158]

It’s the lil things 💯👍🏼👊🏼🖤

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks for watching!

[@rickdreibelbis]

Hi Everybody…Jasper is missing in action! He musta known there was work to be done!! Oh btw Cass, good luck on getting all that stuff in the Tundra!!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Haha he was hiding inside getting belly rubs :)

[@leeeverett8109]

11:21 I carry 5+ pairs of Walmart sunglasses because I lose them to. Hahaha

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hahah so glad I’m not the only one!

[@Brandon-0028]

What is the overhead rack you had installed in the rear cargo area. That is genius! I have seen them for Jeeps but didn't consider that they were available for SUV's. Excited to see your new truck!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

It was made by Rago Fabrication systems. Thanks for watching Brandon!

[@MrMustang990]

When are you going to do a video of your new truck ?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hopefully next week! Setting out in it tonight

[@MikeB-in1nd]

Omg how much stuff can you keep in a car it's great

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Way more than needed 😂😂

[@MikeB-in1nd]

@@TailsofWanderlust It's all good

[@sfuoncall]

Cleaning out all of the stuff from the 4Runner, have you thought about what you will not bring with you when you move to the truck?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Right now, I threw it all in bins in the back. I haven't had a chance to actually clean out and donate things

[@photoguy73]

Where did you get that neat inside storage rack with the ceiling storage?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

It was a Rago Fabrication storage system. There are also other versions online if you are interested.

[@robp3431]

That's a lot of "stuff".....must have a first aid kit handy, when opening wine :-)

[@TailsofWanderlust]

It's so true! Wine openers sure are dangerous :)

[@ravenfeather7087]

That's not a very nice way to treat your binoculars. Ker-plop!! Funny though! Once again I learned something and I've been doing this stuff for a long time. I just reviewed your new mattress video because I'm going to buy one. Nice job. Looking forward to the Tundra build..

[@TailsofWanderlust]

😂 Thankfully they survived!

[@RajeshKumar-nc6wj]

If a gopro consider increasing the iso. So the video would have been much brighter.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Rajesh - I ran out of light a lot faster than I thought I would

[@basil8760]

Looks like it was snowing. Wow girl! I thought I had a lot of stuff in my SUV, but U got me beat. Lols Maybe U should consider donating (or selling) the items U don’t use? Reminds me, I should get a first aid kit n also could use a snow shovel. Curious n look forward to seeing your new truck. Enjoyed it ty for sharing.😊

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks for checking it out Brenda! And great idea on donating the stuff I don't use. I really need to clean it all out.

[@MalikUmrani]

Hey Cass I Love Your Channel My Favorite Cass ☺😊❤

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks!

[@redwolfexr]

"this thing I never used." This thing I used once." "Dog bowl." "Dog Bowl" "dog toy" "dog toy" "dog pack" "dog jacket" LOL... I think I see a trend here...

[@TailsofWanderlust]

😂😂hahah that is so true!

[@margaretthompson6391]

I have a travel gnome too lol.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Love that!!

[@Rock-bf2ee]

I think Michael better put a ring 💍 on it...

[@TailsofWanderlust]

May be hard to chase me down to try :)

[@CMF_1]

Bug stuff.. And more bug stuff… And more bug stuff. 😆 Not quite minimalist (just fun in’) keep up the good content

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hahaha! It's so true 😂

[@shakydolphin4125]

No wonder your rig got 8 mpg, carrying all of that stuff you never used 🤣

[@TailsofWanderlust]

😂😂 Exactly!! Thanks for the good laugh

[@pharmis]

it's a "road-dog" not a mascot :)

[@journeywithstu7199]

Pretty cheap, Nikon. Something you used to never hear.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks for watching!
