How to Choose a GREAT Campsite *AVOID THESE MISTAKES*

[@kasialeszczynska9075]

Very helpful video. I'm going camping this weekend for the first time in 16 years! Also alone so I'll definitely be using your tips 🙌🏻

[@amanda.outside]

Perfect timing! I hope you have an awesome trip!

I thought she was about to erect a 16 x 20 wall tent the way she was shopping for spots. When I saw the actual tent I had a good chuckle. Still, all these points hold true regardless of the size of your tent. Great video, great advice.

[@RobinT-treehugger]

Excellent video! My hubby has taught me all these tips over the years and we have a system down now that helps up assess a campsite pretty quickly. Thanks again for your effort in producing these videos!

You're welcome! Thank you for commenting!

We always expect a day or night of rain so a properly planned location for your tent and pop up kitchen tent is key. We've had to dig drainage for tent islands during a flash rain storm before.

[@catails2929]

Thank you for a great video, very helpful. Also suggest taking into consideration wind direction.

[@donaldguertin3968]

Excellent advice. First time I pitched my tent I learned the hard way. Nice clear night. Then in the middle of the night it poured! The winds drove the rain crazy as I was at the bottom of a hill! My entry was facing the wind so as soon as I started to unzip it, water inside! Your video is spot on!

[@waynekerr7838]

Novice camper here, and thank you so much for a fantastic video. Exactly what I needed to educate myself to stay safe and comfortable :)

[@amanda.outside]

So glad it was helpful! Thank you for commenting!

All good comments, I myself have to add one look at the people in the campsites close to you… I had a camp experience ruined, because a bunch of drunks had too much to drink, and start picking fights with everybody in the Area. Likewise, they tend to be noisy. It saddens me being a very peaceful person that I now have to pack a firearm not for the four-legged variety of animal, but in defense of the two legged ones. Police response time is very slow added to that if your cell phone doesn’t get a signal then you’re on your own. It should be noted you have to be smarter. than your firearm. Don’t look for trouble because you have a SideArm with you. It’s your last resort against life and limb only! My rule of thumb is I try to get away from everybody who might be camping it gives them privacy and you also. Check the laws for carrying firearms and keep it hidden.

Great tips and what a beautiful campsite! I'd love to take a hammock out there.

[@amanda.outside]

A hammock would be awesome in this forest!

[@lisag8569]

Question here, where did you buy your pants? They look comfy!

[@mpatrick2153]

*cries* the uintas . But really what do you do when you are recreating in the uintas?

[@busyboy7635]

There really really is so much to take into consideration. Good tips. You live in such a beautiful place.

[@dirtywhitellama]

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

[@davehitt]

Just like the fire service do your 360!

[@WanderingSwitchback]

All excellent points! It is critical, especially in the backcountry, to be conscientious about where you're setting up.

[@amanda.outside]

Absolutely!

[@brookedegaish8814]

Great tips! Also just noticed a new (at least to my grocery store) s’mores flavor power crunch bar! 10/10 👌🏼

[@amanda.outside]

I haven't tried that flavor yet! I'll look for it next time I'm there 😁

[@raghadasaaid3750]

Thank you so much it's very useful information 😊 We going camping in few more days for three weeks.

[@amanda.outside]

Yay!! That sounds awesome! Have a great trip 😁

[@braydensexton1362]

Anybody else notice the stick figure?😂

[@robaldridge6505]

great video,but, shouldn't #1 be Get there early enough to look around, find water, toilet site, etc. decide, build camp BEFORE it gets dark.... I hope you have an awesome summer, I'm out of the game for a bit due to all this flooding/high water and I broke a rib the other night... if the rivers ever go down, I'll get out and do some fishing....

[@charleslamphiear7979]

Enjoying your videos and am thinking about cast iron. Con you do a video on how you take care of your cast while camping ? Curing etc.

[@ParadoxAssassin]

Always on point

[@Luna-ze3fz]

Hi Amanda 💟

[@glennfoster5431]

[@barbarajeanne8351]

Great hints!

[@MrSupernova111]

I learned a lot with this video. Thanks!

[@amanda.outside]

You're welcome!

[@paiget1977]

Hey Amanda! Ive watched almost all of your vids.. literally. I would love to see more cooking vids, i love to cook and i love camping. I find it relaxing to cook in a campsite... and honestly just as soothing to watch you cook in yours. If you are ever on vancouver island let me know 😁 (canada-BEAUTIFUL)

[@amanda.outside]

I went to Vancouver years ago and loved it! It's so beautiful there and the climate is so different from what I'm used to living in Utah. I definitely want to go back someday. Cooking at camp is so relaxing for me too. I'll continue to make more camp cooking videos, they're my favorite 😊

[@jennerzlistens1522]

Informative AND interesting!! Well composed 😊🏕️ Thanks Amanda!

[@amanda.outside]

You are so welcome!

[@scetis]

The sun and shade comment is so true! There’s nothing worse than cooking breakfast over the fire and having the sun beating down on your back! Thanks so much for mentioning that…

[@amanda.outside]

It's crazy how fast things heat up in the Summer time! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for commenting!
