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! 😂

[@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?

[@plantlady5356]

No s’mores! We’re having venison for dinner and fish for breakfast. 😂 also, love how he’s grabbing literally everything in the store. An oven, kayak, ya know. Ya never know!!
