I'm a 69 year old lady who goes camping at least every other weekend. Been doing that ever since I found out I could get a senior lifetime pass through the COE camping sites. Great discount! I keep all my gear , except food, in my SUV throughout the year. I set everything up by myself because my fur babies don't have thumbs LOL. My friends aren't into camping like me because THEY ARE OLD in spirit LOL 😂.

[@WhereWeWild]

That’s awesome good for you! 😊🤙🏽

[@andrew_gardner]

The green propane bottles are "refillable." You can get the adapter to connect them to a 20lbs propane tank (back yard grill style) and then you pay like $20-30 to refill that tank and fill around 20 of the green cans. Saves green cans going in the land fill and you save like $6/bottle in propane cost. I 3D printed some caps that say full and used so i know which of mine are full and haven't looked back :)

[@WhereWeWild]

Siiiick! Didn’t realize you could do that with those, that’s awesome! 👊🏽😃

[@andrew_gardner]

@@WhereWeWild biggest thing is putting the empty bottles in the freezer for a bit before filling and record the weight of a new bottle on the bottle, that way when you fill them you know what weight to aim for

[@WhereWeWild]

@@andrew_gardner Interesting!

[@michaeldigiulio5602]

Not if they do not specific state on the bottle they are refillable. Manufacturers do make refillable fuel canisters, they cost more but are engineered with thicker walls and bottom to handle the varying pressures of multiple uses. I’ve seen the nonrefillable canisters explode/burst when someone refilled one-it sent shrapnel all over! 😮

[@dananorth895]

Keep the threads/ends covered from moisture as once they rust they'll clog your foamed brass flash back arrestors in your stoves/heaters etc. Good idea on the 3d print caps. I know the brass caps are spendy and the plastic are so-so and always get lost/tossed anyway.

[@bigalsmith521]

Thanks guys for your videos. I’m 55 and haven’t camped in a loooong time but I’m getting ready to get back into it when the weather warms up and your videos are helping me a lot!! I would love to see a video on keeping the campsite clean while you’re camping, especially those pots and pans after cooking a meal. Thanks and keep up the great work!!

[@WhereWeWild]

Awesome! 😃 So glad the videos are helping you out and that you are getting back into it! Always so nice to spend some time outdoors if you can. 😊🤙🏽 That’s a good idea maybe we can do a video like that. Thanks again for the nice comment and thank a for watching. 👊🏽😊

[@freedom7265]

Just note; the bigger the bin, the more you’ll want to fill up all of that space. Which ends up making the bin very heavy. I would suggest that once you dial in the absolute necessities for a particular bin category; buy a bin that is just big enough for the items to fit. Maybe only slightly larger. Great video! Keep em’ coming.

[@WhereWeWild]

So funny we were just talking about that! 😃 Great little trick to keep you from overpacking! Then on the other hand, if you’re driving up to a site you don’t really have to carry anything a long way so it’s also nice sometimes to just have that extra space in case you want to bring extra stuff like for a guest or whatever. That’s what’s cool about it also, it’s really just up to the individual to dial it in however it works best for them and their family or for the space they have in their car. 😊🤙🏽 And thanks so much! We really appreciate it! ☺️

[@ronschreiber3635]

this is by far one of the best explained videos I have seen in a long time .I was wondering if there was a bottom of this Bin .lol great job guys .

[@WhereWeWild]

Hahaha thanks glad you enjoyed it! 😊🤙🏽

[@CrooklynPilot]

Great video for a newbie camper

[@WhereWeWild]

That’s the idea 😊🤙🏽

[@all-in-fishing]

I just recently found your channel and diving into the camping world. Im starting from scratch and your videos are helping me out so much!! Ive watched quite a couple already! Thank you for all your tips and hacks. Most of the items you have suggested are in my amazon cart already!😂 love the camping and fishing aspect (love fishing myself). As silly as it sounds how do you go about washing your plates/ and utensils while out there? And of course ones self for multi day stays? Thanks again love the Channel and subscribed 😁

[@WhereWeWild]

Awesome welcome to the channel! So glad the videos are helping you out! 😃 And sweet! Fishing is my passion and a big part of this channel. It’s just the best. 🎣❤️😎🤙🏽 As far as the dishes go while camping, which I’m sorry we didn’t mention in this particular video, but if you look in our Amazon shop (link is in the video description) in the camp kitchen section you will find collapsible wash basins and Dr. Bronner’s soap. That is the best way we have found to wash our dishes out there. Lol sorry to add more items to your Amazon cart 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 but that works really well as the soap is better for the environment and those collapsible basins save space. 😊 Thanks for the nice comment and for the support we really appreciate you watching. ☺️🤙🏽

[@tammypior446]

We're taking our first trip this weekend! Thank you for the info 👍

[@WhereWeWild]

Awesome! No problem have fun! 😃🤙🏽

[@kennythurston57.]

Thanks guys. Pretty helpful advice. Take care.

[@WhereWeWild]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks you too! 😊🤙🏽

[@BassRaider]

Camping season is right around the corner! Great info.🤙🤙

[@WhereWeWild]

Thanks brother 👊🏽😊

[@mrblueskynm3968]

Thanks for the video! I've been putting a kitchen bin together for this summer. It's going to be just for me on solo trips. Happy camping!

[@WhereWeWild]

No problem hope it helped ya! Have fun and be safe this summer! 😎🤙🏽

[@arod1784]

Great suggestion for compartments for each aspect of car camping. Definitely gonna go that route next time.

[@WhereWeWild]

Thanks! Just makes life a little easier 😊🤙🏽

[@rockerorivera]

I personally like bags, as they are more flexible when packing for transport, like good 80-100 lt. duffel or backpacks for backpacking

[@WhereWeWild]

Interesting! Hey whatever works for ya is the way to go! 👊🏽😊 Definitely more flexible that’s for sure! The bins are pretty sweet though if you have the space for them. They stack nicely. Super tough and protective. Usually bone dry inside even in the rain. In a pinch we’ve used them as a dining table, a countertop, a place to sit… haha it’s crazy how many things a plastic box can be used for 😂🤙🏽

[@azxp]

Subscribed great Ideas!

[@WhereWeWild]

Hey thanks welcome to the channel hope you enjoy the content! 😊🤙🏽

[@PredictableEnigma]

This is so helpful! Can you make a video about your sleeping bin too?

[@WhereWeWild]

Glad you found it helpful! 😊🤙🏽 Haha honestly the sleeping bin might not be as interesting as the kitchen bin, but yeah maybe we can 🤷🏻‍♂️😊

[@RandomVelocity]

Subscribed. Funny looked like that bin was never getting full lol. Thought it had an open bottom for a bit there. Lol😂. Oh and I like the sage idea. Just ordered some on Amazon going to try that this summer.

[@WhereWeWild]

Lol oh man that would have been hilarious if we had done that! 😂😂😂😂 Thanks dude we really appreciate the support welcome to the channel 👊🏽😊

[@antoniocastruita3729]

Your strike on matches and small lighters it's best to put them inside of a small plastic Ziploc bags to keep them keeping doing the video the you guys make give good ideas that I can do good job

[@WhereWeWild]

Thanks 👊🏽😃 The bin stays pretty dry but hey that’s always smart to protect your fire starters 😊🤙🏽

[@dananorth895]

Heavy duty freezer ziplocks for raw veggies and cooked food, sugar, flour etc.

[@WhereWeWild]

👍🏽😊

[@cregp72]

In my bin I also put my seasoning, flour and other common cooking components in bin and use a couple milk crates for more dry goods to make stuff with. Not for sure what you do about those things

[@WhereWeWild]

Nice! 😊 Ahhhh man we should have mentioned that! We just decide on specific meals before a trip and use the extra space in the bin for any dry goods or fresh spices we might need for them. We talked about that in another video actually. Pill dispensers are a cool little way of taking your spices along btw! 😃🤙🏽

[@caitlynndavison1210]

I came for the camping gear organization, but ran to the comments to ask where your pullover is from, Jamie! 😂 Super cute! Great video, guys. Thanks for the info!

[@WhereWeWild]

Hi! Thanks so much 😊 My pullover is a Marshall’s find (love that place haha) I believe the brand is C&C California! Thanks for watching!

[@edtaylor6431]

For gloves I use welder’s gloves, they are very easy to slide your hands in and very easy to get off in a hurry should the need arise to get them off quickly.

[@Capt4pct]

What about seasonings for your food? Oil for cooking and seasoning your cast iron? Do you put those in a different bin?

[@WhereWeWild]

No they go in this bin but we don’t leave that in there all the time like the other stuff. We pack it fresh based off of what we are planning on cooking before a trip. 😊

[@joeponder9668]

Be advised, ifn your into those black n yellow bins are not the same. Maybe same size but different manufacturers don’t stack with others! I have a handful from HD and some from Sam’s and they are not stackable… great vid! We do the same!!

[@WhereWeWild]

Thanks! 👊🏽😊 Oh that’s interesting! Yeah all of ours we bought together at Home Depot so they stack nice. Good to know appreciate it! Thanks again! 😊🤙🏽

[@gardnep]

Don’t forget the snake bite kit. Written it down. Thanks

[@WhereWeWild]

Haha oh jeez idk I’ll be honest I don’t have much confidence in those kits, so I just try my very best not to get bit. 😁🤙🏽

[@rachelrathburn8882]

How do you set it up to burn the white sage to keep mosquitos away?

[@WhereWeWild]

We talk about it and show it in this video if you want to check it out 😊🤙🏽 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqWcpaF7j5iXoNEsi=Knmt-Yel5L_tf5vL

[@danpayan9468]

Portable stove good for emergency car box

[@WhereWeWild]

Definitely 👍🏽

[@SawyerSidelinger]

Can you put that water kettle on your fire fire not just on the stove?

[@WhereWeWild]

Yeah sure I would just be mindful of any rubber on the handle and not put it on the biggest hottest part of the fire but rather off to the side a bit on the coals. 😊🤙🏽

[@reneap9049]

I do, but on the grill grate, on the edge of the fire.

[@jannah4288]

I'm curious as to why she is handling the big 2 burner stove, and the big cast iron griddle and fry pan (stacked together even!) and then he pulls out just an itty bitty stove top piece? Then she handles the big awkward utensils and he handles 2 much smaller pieces? LOL

[@WhereWeWild]

Oh 3 words should clear that right up for ya. Hernia. Surgery. Recovery. 😬😂🤙🏽

[@FrankRizz85]

Bet you feel stupid LOL

[@kernow24]

Packing the whole house

[@WhereWeWild]

What? Lol the entire point of having that bin is so you CAN’T pack too much. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@BryanandAshleyStrand]

What about cooking oil?

[@WhereWeWild]

If we need it for a certain recipe we are looking to make we will bring some along. 😊 Lot of times we just melt a little butter on the cast iron.

[@edwardbyrd7667]

What about clean-up? I saw paper towels, but what about a dish sink, soap, rag …?

[@WhereWeWild]

We didn’t mention those in this video huh? Sorry about that we’ve mentioned it in other videos. We use these collapsible wash buckets which are pretty cool and this environmentally friendly soap Dr. Bronner’s. You can find them in our Amazon store if you are interested, the link is in the video description. 😊🤙🏽

[@CarolynLewis-hd4fr]

Stuff to wash dishes?

[@WhereWeWild]

In the video description you will see links for Dr. Bronner’s soap and collapsible wash basins/buckets. Thats what we use for washing dishes. 😊🤙🏽

[@Citizen-pg8eu]

You forgot to tell everyone that you need the long handled spoons to eat freeze dried food out of the bag!

[@WhereWeWild]

Haha oh yeah we didn’t mention that in this one huh? 🤔😃 We’ve said that in so many other videos that’s probably why! 😁🤙🏽

[@danpayan9468]

Gear tie

[@WhereWeWild]

Hahaha yeah pretty much 😁🤙🏽

[@DadCanCook]

Ps.how can I go to your store.

[@WhereWeWild]

Just have to click this link it’s in every video description 🤙🏽 amazon.com/shop/wherewewild

[@mayapapayuh]

The amount of big clunky utensils right after talking about how small that cutting board is 🤣 a surplus of home size utensils is a big pet peeve of mine..also cutting on flimsy plastic is a big pet peeve of mine so this one has me triggered haha. Just a personal preference

[@WhereWeWild]

Hahaha hey ya need some utensils unless you like flipping your burgers and pancakes with your hatchet 🤷🏻‍♂️😎 The cutting board is really sweet actually too, super easy to clean and it’s not flimsy at all because it’s on whatever hard surface you lay it on. 😊🤙🏽

[@brendabloom3535]

Parchment paper.

[@WhereWeWild]

What do you use it for? 😊

[@brendabloom3535]

@WhereWeWild I use the parchment to wrap my dinners in. I make little packets. Individual meals. And then 2 layers of HD foil. I can cook the meal in the coals, on the grate sort of offset from the flames, or even inside the Dutch oven. The parchment paper keeps the food moist, wayyyyyy less sticking to the inside of the foil, easier clean up. Sometimes I cut the packet open down the middle (like a foil wrapped baked potato) eat right put of the packet. Bonus is the parchment paper will burn pretty easily after dinner and the foil can be recycled because it doesn't have chunks of my meal stuck to or burned on it.

[@WhereWeWild]

@brendabloom3535 Nice 😊🤙🏽

[@roguegypsy7827]

Baby wipes

[@ronschreiber3635]

you should Marry her she's a keeper for sure

[@DadCanCook]

Shure don't let Jamie talk much.🤔

[@WhereWeWild]

Hahaha yeah unfortunately that is a common misconception from some viewers who just recently found our channel and have only watched a couple camping educational videos of ours. I definitely do take on more of the talking responsibilities on this channel but that’s by our design and she appreciates it. She can talk as much as she wants. ❤️☺️

[@jenelle120120]

Also, there are some people who are more comfortable in front of the camera than others. Don’t judge a book by its cover!
