One of my favorite parts about camping is seeing what I forgot and then going and buying some new camping stuff

I have 1 yr old twins so I'm trying to take as less as possible for a family of 5 lol

[@khadijahwhite4021]

Lol, yes. Love it! What did I forget this time. Need to make a Walmart run,😂. Different Walmart have camping gear that your local Walmart might not have.

[@stephanienewton6618]

I am finding this to be true! My family may think I’m going overboard 😄

[@ar007r]

I am going camping at lake superior for a week with my wife, baby and dog. I realized my solo gear doesnt apply at all and ended up buying everything you can think of. I spent almost 10k and thats not including having to get a hitch installed on my land rover. Even with all the best gear I could think of it is still cheaper than a normal trip and now we are set up for years. I should make a video of our campsite because I have not seen anyone on youtube with a loadout like this for car camping. Im pretty excited to use it and buying it all with that budget was really fun. I rented a uhaul trailer to bring the gear because the dog gets the entire trunk for the 12 hour drive we have.

[@willyrisco9618]

THANK YOU!

[@musicguitar]

Immediately gave the video a thumbs up after you mentioned that you love camping so much you’d sleep on the ground. Some of my fondest memories have been out in the ranch with my dad.

[@WoodyBrown]

musicguitar that’s awesome man. Yeah I love it - there’s just something about being out in the woods and having to fend for yourself. Definitely some of my favorite memories were with my brother and my dad when I was a kid. I love that I get to now experience that with my family!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!

[@conflict7269]

Helpful tip with your toilet paper, keep in plastic bag so it stays dry and it helps to rip a bunch of decent size pre torn sheets so its easier to grab and dont get messy, i actually do this for tracking blood trails in deer season but also good for whatever

[@WoodyBrown]

Yes for sure!! Love it!! In fact we actually have a roll in zip lock bags in all our vehicles...for those moments when the kiddos can't make it to the next stop or if you're stuck out in the middle of nowhere and/or stranded. The "use the leaf" method isn't the most exciting conversation to have with a small daughter :)

[@PatrickConlon]

I like the lantern light. Probably I'll bring it next on my upcoming second time camping plan. Thank you for sharing.

[@redwhiteblue7831]

Nice... 👍 Beautiful family... A family camping trip is great, and lots fun. It's also a lot of work, but worth it. The more you go, the more stuff you'll accumulate. The more you accumulate the less you'll bring. Great video, enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing, take care. 🇺🇲

[@BTobias84]

(Guy grabs towel) " I bet some of you guys don't know this but I was an eagle scout. So I'm always prepared for the unexpected" " This is a sham towl..." (Puts towel down) Damn brother. Glad you learned something from the scouts.

[@WoodyBrown]

Canna710 just a silly explanation why I even have a sham towel - probably would have been more effective and actually hilarious if it was an empty box and that was the only thing in it 🤣 Obviously that’s not the only thing I learned from scouts - but if you have kids, then you know - sometimes you might have to clean up all kinds of bodily fluids and you’ll need something with much better absorption than a paper towel without sacrificing too much room that a tradition towel would take up. Hence: sham. Thanks for watching!!

[@WoodyBrown]

wretchpin absolutely true 🤣 But - as we add and subtract to this gear I want to utilize the gear I have for backpacking + car camping to avoid purchasing more. Plus, it just makes me feel a bit tougher 🤣🤣 Thank you for watching and making me laugh at myself today!!

[@andrescolintv]

Awesome video man thank you. Taking a trip this weekend and keep coming back to this to make sure I have what we will need. What should I get, an air mattress or pads for me and wife? Thanks

[@WoodyBrown]

Andres Colin awe man thank you so much!! I vote pads - they aren’t necessarily any “less comfortable” than an air mattress would be (and I would argue the pads are more comfortable) and they are far less cumbersome to carry around. I have some self inflating pads that are really comfy and roll up nice and tight when you’re done. The cost of the pads all depends on whether or not you want to take them backpacking (where you’d want them to be very light in weight) or “car camping” like we do as a family where you can sacrifice a little “weight” for price. I hope that helps!! Feel free to ask me more questions. I promise I will be adding more camping gear/camping videos in the next few weeks!!

[@andrescolintv]

Woody Brown thanks! I’ll go for the pads then. Are there any you recommend? Also, do you use a big sleeping bag for you and your wife or each their individual? Thanks man!

[@WoodyBrown]

Andres Colin I found some inexpensive sleeping pads at academy and REI. I use separate sleeping bags for myself and my wife - manly b/c I get hot really easily and she gets cold really easily so this way we can regulate our own individual temperatures. Also, I do more camping on my own (or with one of the kids) than I do with her - so the double person sleeping bag wouldn’t get as much use for us. The cool thing about gear is that over time your needs change and so your gear will evolve. If you end up with gear that you don’t like as much keep it but get something else for the next season; always keep gear around and take good care of it, you never know when a family member or friend might want to join you for a campout and they may not have much gear :) Another pro tip: when you get home from your campout (if it’s a sunny dry day) lay out your tent, tarps and let it air out for a few hours - trust me - there’s nothing worse than getting to camp, opening your tent only to discover it smells like mold + mildew!!!

[@andrescolintv]

Woody Brown great advice man! I finally ordered a few self inflating pads as you suggested. I’m now searching for chairs. This is an expensive hobby lol 😝

[@WoodyBrown]

@@andrescolintv I'm glad I could help!! hahaha - yes, camping gear get's $$$$ - don't worry about getting it all at once. Btw you can find pretty inexpensive camp chairs at big box places like Walmart.

[@marymayhem5315]

Thanks for the video! What’s the name of your entrenching tool?

[@WoodyBrown]

Oh gosh I'm not sure - I believe I got it at Academy Sports for under $10; it's not extremely heavy duty, it's pretty small - but it will definitely get the job done.

[@marymayhem5315]

Woody Brown thank you!

[@Rubberducky24688]

I put glow stick bracelets on my 2 year olds ankles to keep track of him at night 🤣

I’m excited for you; we’re headed camping this weekend too :) This is obvious not a perfect list and some things you’ll never use some you will and some you’ll find you need that I don’t have etc. It’s just fun being outdoors especially with friends and family. Away from the distractions and being outside is my favorite way to recharge!! Have fun!!

Hey thanks for watching and commenting! Here's the tent I bought to fit my family (unfortunately not available anymore) www.rei.com/rei-garage/product/142118/kelty-camp-cabin-4-tent-2017 But, they have several similar tents just like it at REI www.rei.com/c/camping-tents/f/sc-4-person?ir=category%3Acamping-tents&r=c%3Bf I got mine on sale for approx $130 and it was an awesome deal. It's a perfect tent for "car camping" but not ideal for backpacking or having to hike in very far - it's a pretty heavy tent in the bag. I wanted something big enough that we could all fit comfortably AND fit all our gear in there as well. HOPE THIS HELPS!

[@michaeldautry]

I live in east Atlanta and we are about to go to north Georgia on a family camping trip. Do you have any recommendations on good spots? Thanks!

[@WoodyBrown]

Thanks for watching and for your question :) There are a ton of great spots. I would recommend starting with the State Parks - they typically have well taken care of drive up (or short walk from parking lot) campsites. Depending on your experience level and/or your family's interest, that's where I would start. Rather than having to hike in to a more primitive campsite off of the Appalachian trail for example. It's also REALLY inexpensive - typically around $10-$20 to reserve the campsite + a $5 park visitor fee. Also - depending on experience, etc - many of them have shower facilities and nearby bathroom facilities as well. www.georgiastateparks.org is a great place to start looking and then make a decision based on what facilities/amenities they have to offer. Let me know if you have any more questions and look forward to hearing about your adventures!! - WB

Nice video, I live in Hawaii with my wife and 2 year old son. I love to go camping/ fishing. Don’t know how to do it with a family. I normally fish all day and night in the hot sun on the lava rocks. And if I need sleep I just sleep in the truck. Now I have to bring a tent, and actual food. It’s all new to me. I guess I also need a first aid kit now.

[@WoodyBrown]

Montana White hahaha yes, camping with family is definitely a new challenge in and of itself! Comfort for them is key, otherwise they’re not going to want to come back. Also, doing things together - it’s easy to get board if you’re not used to the incredible stillness that nature has to offer - so think about what you need to bring to include them in your fishing activities or other things you can do together ☺️ Thanks for watching!!

Yes!! Awesome to hear. Depending on where you’re located it’s starting to get pretty chilly to take the kids out - unless of course you have sleeping bags that are rated for really low temps. Keeping those little dudes warm and snug is super important. I’d definitely recommend taking them maybe once it’s starts getting closer to spring where the nightly lows are in the 50s. That’s prime camping weather!

Thank you for your wonderful video. And all the information we need to know to go camping. You are awesome. And have a beautiful family. I'm going camping this weekend. Santa Margarita Lake in Cali. Happy camping.

Tricia Kesting thank you so so much!! I’m excited for your camping adventure - be safe, have fun and leave no trace :)

Awe, your wife may come around with a few additions to your gear. You met her halfway between sleeping on a pile of leaves in the rain and normal people camping. You actually need to meet her halfway between your home and Eagle Scout camping. I don't mean to suggest that glamping is required...But looking at your spotless house, I could see she wouldn't be a fan of bugs and smelly gear. So, ask her to find a cute tablecloth, bring a queen sized air mattress (yes, it will be bulky). Comfy pillows and blankets and a set of battery operated fairy lights that you can string inside the tent. Maybe find a site that has electricity (just for a few times), this will probably be closer to people, which might make her feel more safe from animals. Ask her to mix up some of her essential oils to spritz in the tent (Cedarwood?). Once she can see past all the sucky things, she might find a love for the outdoors and slowly give up her luxury items. Personally, my husband won't camp with me because I won't let him bring the Playstation, lol.

[@WoodyBrown]

S S great ideas for sure!! I think she’s coming around to it a bit - however would prefer our bed at home to any other even in paradise. So, I’m fighting a difficult battle - that said, I’m happy with participation :) Thank you for watching and your suggestions - adding those will help for sure.

[@tziporah97]

Great video! What brand and model of tent are you using?

[@WoodyBrown]

My dude!! Great video! I’m an avid camper myself and I’m taking my son camping for the first time this weekend. You got my sub and notification!

[@WoodyBrown]

Vargas Family Vlog :] awesome I’m excited for you and your son’s adventure!! So much fun!! Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing!! More adventure vids to come!!

[@trefontaine]

Don’t forget to bring a towel!

[@WoodyBrown]

Sean Tremblay haha! Never know when you’ll need to dry off 🤣

[@jacobbaker4545]

Thanks for all the great ideas! We just got a pop up camper and cant wait to take the family out!

[@WoodyBrown]

Alana's Take - AWESOME thank you for watching!! I hope you and your family have a great time!! Right now is perfect camping weather - just cool enough to keep the bugs away a bit at night :)

[@jeylemxz]

What store did you go to

[@WoodyBrown]

jeylem aristondo this is actually stuff bought over the years from multiple stores. The ones I go to the most frequently though are: REI, Academy Sports, Dicks Sporting Goods, Walmart

[@jeylemxz]

Woody Brown oh ok thanks

[@ehunt8658]

Looks like everything is brand new like never been used.

[@WoodyBrown]

E Hunt take care of your stuff and it always will!! One of my tents I’ve had for close to 15 years and taken on countless trips - still looks like it just came out of the box. My parents taught me that the “Camping trip isn’t over until the gear is cleaned and put away”. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🏼

[@ehunt8658]

@@WoodyBrown Everytime I come back from camping I'm beat and i really dont do a good job putting things away and cleaning very well. Good video buddy.

[@WoodyBrown]

E Hunt I know the feeling but trust me - it’s the best thing to do; even before you take a shower and get cleaned up yourself. Clean that gear :) Thank you!!

[@HerrP58]

Your wife asking, "What time is it?" LOL Usually when camping, you're not concerned that much with time. Is she going anywhere? :)

[@WoodyBrown]

HerrP hahaha - she’s counting the hours until morning 🤣

[@DanielGFreeman]

Awesome! I'm finally getting my wife around to trying camping. We have a 2 year old and she loves the outdoors like her dad so we keep working on mom. I think we're gonna get our first family camping trip year!

[@WoodyBrown]

NICE!!! I'm sorry I missed this comment earlier - how did your camping trip go??

[@DanielGFreeman]

@@WoodyBrown H O T hot! We're still working on Mom, gonna get her back out there in October for another trip. I'm excited to be getting in some good family activities in the outdoors. Inside sucks! 😜

[@bradschak]

I have paracord in my kit and use it for all kinds of things. Next camping trip, doing the JiffyPop. I’m teaching my son how to start a fire using a steel. My daughter likes to cook so we do a lot of campfire cooking with cast iron. I believe if you start camping with young kids, you have great memories and something they might do with their kids.

[@WoodyBrown]

YES!! 100% agree - if they're used to it as a family tradition they'll pass on the love for the outdoors to their children for sure.

[@Askfornate]

Going camping with a 3 year old in 5 weeks. Came across the video...I pack way too much, haha.

[@WoodyBrown]

Thanks for watching!! Depending on the circumstances, but especially when camping with kids - I definitely prefer to pack too much rather than too little!! I hope you and your 3yo have an awesome adventure!

[@MaleficaRue]

Your whole family is adorable. Thanks for the tips!

[@WoodyBrown]

[@kellilangley3875]

Great job! Perfect primer for that first family trip!

[@WoodyBrown]

Kelli Langley thank you!! And thank you for watching!!!

[@jordancornelson7356]

What kind of tent is that?? :)

[@WoodyBrown]

Hey Jordan - first off thank you for watching!! Here's the tent that I got...truthfully it's gigantic in comparison to my 2-man tent that I use for the father & son campouts. This has plenty of room and MORE for my whole family. I got it from REI (www.rei.com/rei-garage/product/142118/kelty-camp-cabin-4-tent) they have a 6-person version of the tent too. Great value in my opinion. It's pretty heavy if you're going to be using for "backpacking" however for "car camping" - where you won't have to walk too far it's perfect!

[@jasonkraus2831]

Thanks Woody - quality video. Taking my boys out next weekend for their first camp and like your philosophy. Next step - getting the wife to come along too! But first, the boys have to be having fun so that's my task.

[@WoodyBrown]

Jason Kraus thank you very much for the kind words! I can’t wait to hear about your adventure with your boys - good luck in convincing the Mrs in the future too ;)

[@ShaneBeimer]

i'm getting my wife to go on our second camping trip together, i wish i could go camping this light but whatever makes the wife comfortable to go i'll do it.

[@WoodyBrown]

Shane Beimer 100% - family camping is definitely “heavier” than a few buddies going backpacking :) Happy wife happy life am I right?! Happy Adventuring!! Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment - means the 🌎to me

Planning a camping trip with wife & 2yo! Can’t wait. Great Video.

[@WoodyBrown]

That’s awesome!! Excited for you 🙌🏼 Keeping them comfortable, happy and involved is key! (Both the 2yo and wife) My wife is NOT a camper so I helped her feel relaxed and comfy and involved my 2 kiddos with the set up “teaching them” how to set and tear down camp etc. Took them on mini hikes etc too. Have a wonderful adventure!! Thank you for watching and THANK YOU for commenting 🤙🏼
