Car Camping Setup 2024

[@user-jl1sz7su4p]

Criminally under viewed, this is a fantastic setup from a guy who practices what he preaches.

[@cartocamp]

Hey thanks! Appreciate the comment! - Nathan

[@JeffreyBaird]

Great setup and even better candid presentation. Love the practical humor.

[@cartocamp]

Haha thank you! This video also serves as a commentary on the mental state of a human after 4 months of car camping lol!

My favorite sleeping spot was in Madera Canyon, Arizona, south of Tucson. The weather was perfect. Colorado was a bit chilly in late April as I got snowed on. I am going to check out the water pump and the shower you showed. I also used up way too much storage space by bring enough food for a 2 month Amazon expedition. Thanks for the tips.

[@cartocamp]

Haha thanks for watching! My goal is that with every trip I take I take about 10% less stuff than I took the last time... In time I should perfect my setup.

I live in California in the Eastern Sierra. I love it here. I’m halfway between Yosemite and Death Valley. So many places to camp all along the Sierra

[@johnbonslaver6292]

Lots of helpful tips, thanks!

[@CrippleCreekStudios]

I’m just getting back into camping and so far have only camped in my home state of Missouri. But I want to go to Colorado and Utah. This video was really informative and I really appreciated you walking through how you have your Subaru and all your car camping set up. I also am planning to get a 4Runner later this year to take my adventures to the next level. I am also planning to visit Moore Expo 2024 in Springfield, MO later in April, and hope CartoCamp will be there, I am really interested in your platform. Thanks again!

[@cartocamp]

Glad you found this video informative! Have fun at MOORE! We won't be at that show this year - but I'm sure it will be great time!

[@marcellaorourke8997]

Lots of tips! TFS.

[@cartocamp]

KY is the best, lots of beautiful lakes, rivers, and more natural arches than any other state than AZ

[@cartocamp]

Kentucky, that's awesome! That is one of the states (along with Arkansas and Tennessee) that I haven't gotten to go camping in yet so I'm very curious about them!

[@campvanrvadventures]

NICE

[@cartocamp]

Thanks!

[@amurtezaa]

Fav state tbd I’m from southern Ontario 🥲

[@cartocamp]

Time to explore the US!

[@JustinKohler-u4b]

Powdered milk bro! They have small and large bags of low and full fat at walmart. Small bag makes 32 liters

[@cartocamp]

Haha I used to use powdered milk. On my first long road trip a few years ago I carried a lot of powdered milk and powdered eggs with me. I never got into the powdered milk but oddly I did like the powdered eggs.

new england mostly white mountains and maine

[@cartocamp]

That's awesome! New England is the area of this country I've explored the least, which is so weird because I live in Pennsylvania. I look forward to the day I make some videos from New England/Maine!

[@johnp9807]

Nice setup. What is that blanket again?

[@cartocamp]

Thanks! The blanket is the "Mountain Blanket" from Kammok. Highly recommend!

[@johnp9807]

@@cartocamp Thanks. I can’t stand nylon against my skin while trying to sleep.

[@breaker19rmr]

What’s the name of that blanket again?

[@cartocamp]

It's the Mountain Blanket from Kammok. One of my favorite pieces of gear! kammok.com/products/mountain-camping-blanket

Do you have window covers on all of your windows for safety and privacy?

[@cartocamp]

I don't have them on all my windows. Some people do for enhanced privacy and I think that's a good idea.

[@ToniWall]

How large of a Jackery do you have?

[@cartocamp]

I have both the 120 and the 240. If I were to do it over again I would buy one of the ~$500 ones and just carry one battery instead of too.

[@ToniWall]

Thank you for your reply. I enjoy your videos!

[@Banana_lug]

Washington is a good place

[@cartocamp]

Washington has so much camping to offer that I haven't uncovered yet, but from what I have seen of it so far it's absolutely amazing! Do you have any recommendations?

[@bofty]

Do you sleep in the car with it completely shut up, windows and all, or do you leave a window cracked?

[@cartocamp]

I leave the windows cracked by about 4 inches when I sleep. This is why I use mesh window screens to let the air flow in but keep the bugs out.

[@susanolson3611]

😃

[@MJ-rw8xf]

What do you have on the windows to block light?

[@cartocamp]

I have these on my windows cartocamp.com/products/mesh-window-screens They do an ok job at blocking light, but I use them more for keeping the bugs out when I roll the window down to get airflow.
