When my husband and I were saving up for a down payment on our first house we decided to go camping for vacation to “save money”! Ha, what a joke that was! By the time we bought a tent, air mattress, and who knows what else, we literally could have stayed at a five star resort! This is such a true video! 😂

There is BASS Pro Shop in Springfield Missouri but I couldn't find Brass Pro Shop 🤔 it probably in the hardware store in the plumbing department .

[@tnmoe-]

Next trip: Home Depot or whatever for another shed to store all that stuff and the roof rack, bike rack, hiking stroller, 8 person tent, generator, and canoe because the garage is full from the first time you went ice fishing.

[@nothanks3236]

Yeah, there's a bit of investment needed if you're a first timer. But once you have the basics, camping gets real cheap. The only problem is finding nice places to camp that aren't swamped by other people. It forces one to get out to the wilderness areas and less travelled spots. Who wants to go hiking with 200 other people?

[@betsymantooth1204]

Can we please talk about the kid that walked through the sleeping bags?!?😂

[@reb1050]

Although I had been camping hundreds of times, I had never been back packing. The only purchase I made for my first back packing trip was two backpacks. One for me, and one for my wife. On our first backpacking trip, my pack weighed right at 75 lbs. and my wife's was right at 45 lbs. From that excursion, we learned a lot. Our next backpacking trip, my pack weighed in at 40 lbs. and her's was 25 lbs. We have taken numerous more backpacking and motorcycle camping trips since then and never failed to have what we needed. The most expensive purchases turned out to be a good backpacking tent, backpacking sleeping bags (actually called "biker bags"), and take down fishing poles. Thank you Cabelas, Bass Pro, and Amazon.
