I've been alive 37 years, have been binging all these videos and I JUST realized my parents never called each other Mommy and Daddy

[@baileyaurora4971]

The part where Penn just goes "NaTuRe" killed me!

[@neversaygoodbye4]

“I’m so proud of you, I’m gonna throw up.” That’s a vote of confidence 😹😹

[@bobsakowski8298]

Looks beautiful out there, but my idea of "roughing it" is when the ice machine is on a different floor than my hotel room!

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

hahaha!

[@JubileeJourney]

How fun. I sure miss camping, love living vicariously thru you

[@unidolls4884]

Well at least you’re out of the house doing something... unlike me.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

It was an adventure, for sure.

[@madmommy]

Love the priorities...make sure to chill the wine before setting up the tent!

[@EmilyBoltz]

I loved this- you guys should do more of just your every day life - this was really well done and soooo funny!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@hopewednesday6500]

I am so glad you said that Colorado moutains are beautiful i live in Colorado and i am so glad you said that

[@pattyknoll7428]

And now you are running in the AMAZING RACE!!!!

[@meganvolf]

I'm so sad I missed you in Colorado!! I'm in Denver

[@trutel16]

7:29 "Lola has redeemed the Holdernesses!" 😂

[@Ed__Powell]

“Camping” - noun. Pretending to be homeless. For fun.

[@lambgaming1347]

lol

[@kyragrayc]

Welp… good luck on part two and I'm more of a glamper 😂😂♥️ILYSM

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

#2.. tee hee

[@nadineparsons3963]

Glamp camp Park but on couch. Your family and these videos my family and knowing they are okay at home in Oregon... And I tested negative the second time last Wednesday. I honestly don't think I've ever cried and called everyone I know to say so. Then I bawled me eyes out. Prayed. I will not put on pants in honor of the Holderness fam. My neighbors are going to freak when I go full monty to check my mail. Heh heh. With a glass of wine in one hand and my mail key and the other. And a Clorox or hanging out of my butt. 🤪

[@Krislynner]

This was epic! I would love to see more vlog style videos from ya’all. Tent camping with no potties..... is for the brave! and wine in a bag is genius! Hubby and I will totally be copying that idea!

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

We will try!

[@maryroberts589]

@@holdernessfamilylaughs from this to The Amazing Race! You are in it to win it!!

[@helenfleischmann4653]

Ok this is funny for me to watch because I live in NH and I go backpacking at least 10 times a summer and my first trip i had a 24ib pound pack and the elevation was 2,000+ ft and it was 5 miles 😂😂😂

[@Ellelani1]

Great video, keep up the good work!!!

[@jackieschelp8676]

Nature!

[@cloudbear393]

Yeah, backpack camping is pretty tough!!! It's worth it though!!! I will never forget my backpacking experience at Cumberland Island, mostly because I SAW AN ARMADILLO!!!!! IT WAS SO CUTE!!!!! EEEE!!!!

[@jfr7160]

Good Lord I hope Kim takes a poop 💩!! You guys really went all in for the camping! Yay Penn Charles for being a trooper and Lola can provide food 🎣! Kim had her wine 🍷 and Penn... well Penn was there! Haha! Looks like a fun time!!

[@MrSpiceCadet]

Hello from Colorado! Love your channel, where in CO did you hike/camp?

[@ameliasaurusrex1393]

Kim:what’s the problem with deodorant Other person who i forgot the name of: bears smell you Me:wow i can smell the stinky armpits from my house… Good Job Kim 🎉!!!!!!!

[@timberridgekids1475]

I am going backpacking with my step dad soon it is going to rock

[@MegaMindyLou]

You guys aren’t outa shape, there’s just less oxygen up there. Great job guys!

[@constancemiller3753]

Yay pre-2020 outdoors! Memories.🏕🏖🏜🏝🏞🏟🗽🗼🏯🏙🌃🌁🎪

[@missysoaps7509]

I'mmm, gonna passonthenext episode But Good Luck Kim !!!

[@marisolbloomfield8063]

Camped at your trailhead in 2016!!!!

[@PhilsFamily]

Colorado is such a beautiful place to camp! Northern Arizona is my favorite, but Co still holds a place in my heart! Also, might I add, Kim is probably the only person who looks gorgeous in the morning after camping. I look a bit more like Penn, lol.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

You're my favorite.

[@carlossynnve2140]

I'm a giraffe

[@carmenabney1801]

Lmao, I'm from colorado and go camping and fishing and all that stuff almost every year. Been doing it for as long as I can remember with my family so it's hilarious to me watching someone else do it.

[@zrx1100zz]

Standard operating procedure while backpacking with the ladies... bag o wine from Trader Joe's...... Any of you people commenting remember the late '80s Matilda Bay in the box same thing except a wine cooler 🍹.... That and a couple bars of chocolate for that second or third day 🍫🍫

[@cuanw]

I one time camped with my cousin and I was so scared I went back inside

[@imzgaming8307]

Cuán White where was inside

[@lambgaming1347]

how

[@lambgaming1347]

@Kenzie Fan then its not classified as camping.

[@BB-wl1lu]

Haha! Looks like fun!

[@charitystockstell2542]

I love Colorado 💜💜💜

[@bob-vz9ji]

Mr bean moment at 1:17 rofl

[@daycaremom13]

That looks like an amazing camping trip! 🤣😂The pooping in the woods 🤣😂. I'm like that at a car camping place, as I have almost a phobia of pooping in public places!

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

It's really, really outside of our comfort zone

[@garlandajoyce1980]

Haha the ending was awesome! WTG you guys, that is roughing it a bit more than I prefer 🤣 I like my tent trailer with uncomfortable beds and I need access to a real washroom or at the very least a portable toilet. I also don't give up deodorant for anyone haha

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

I know! The deodorant thing was a shock.

[@garlandajoyce1980]

To me too! It does make sense esp since you were literally camping in the middle of no where, I'll stick to my campgrounds lol

[@DarinMcGrew]

Nice job, everyone! Gaining 1500ft over 3 miles with full backpacks is a real challenge. And yes, when you backpack with kids, your backpack is heavier because you're taking on more of the group gear. Did you actually weigh your backpacks beforehand? It would be interesting to figure out how much weight you save next time by leaving unnecessary stuff at home. And tent capacity ratings are always "optimistic". I might put 4 kids in a "4-person" tent, but when I'm backpacking, I use a 2-person tent just for myself (or a 3-person tent for myself and one other adult).

[@Sldejo]

We tent camp in the living room. We used to go outside in the backyard but nature...🤷🏾‍♀️

[@MrNiceyoungman]

My idea of roughing it is going somewhere with no electricity walking somewhere with no people.

[@evalorenz9124]

Awesome cliffhanger - just like back when everyone was wondering Who shot J. R.? I hope we do not have to wait until the fall to find out.

[@harryrimmer6830]

There are reasons you set up a tent you have never used before you leave home! Have both Lola and Penn Charles join a BSA, Scouts unit.

[@ilovemydogjada3534]

I had to do a double take with Lola!!! She is so grown up now!!!! So pretty just like her mother!!! Same with Penn Charles!!! So grown up!!!

[@kimnapoleone9934]

We take our kids camping every year and love it, but usually the car is nearby or in the site to hold all the food and gear.

[@michellewalbey8060]

Lion's tiger's and bear's oh my

[@amysmith8881]

Love your videos. We just moved to Colorado. Where was this exactly? I'd love to go camping there. We are those hiking/camping kind of people. Thanks

[@sydneyliedtke4773]

Same I live in Colorado and should love to know where they are

[@ypsilwvskso]

Early i love watshing your Videos

[@AmberRose-m4m]

Once when we were camping i decided to stay up with my parents my mom started drinking a little booze, i asked what it tastes like, she handed me the bottle and said "take a small sip" i had my first sip of booze while my dad stared at my mom dissaprovingly.... I was twelve 😂😂

[@RedCornStudios]

Good job guys, and glad you ditched the moisturizer for wine. I have the feeling Lola wasn't loving this experience :)

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Wine > moisturizer any day

[@nicolesdad0]

Pro b ackpackers tip: Crystal light makes a margarita flavor drink, and tequila is lighter than wine.

[@ellaburgess4183]

I have to go on a trip like this for school except we walk non stop every day for a week and only stop walking to sleep and eat and we have to cook using tuna can ovens that we made and I’ve only been camping a 2 times before any advice?

[@Kitty-vu2mu]

640th view love ya holderness :D you guys are the best! 😺🐈

[@rickriggan3008]

We live in Colorado. Its called the Rocky Mountainssssss, not mountain. 😒

[@tingandgang2069]

Omg the wine! 😝😝👍👍👍👍 Tjat is genius! (Also the ending to this video was great, I’ll definitely be tuning in to the next episode of THE HOLDERNESS! And every episode after that!)

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Thank you so much.

[@heidihenninger6253]

I always backpack with wine in a bag! The weight is worth it! :)

[@sofiaguerra1977]

This is hilarious!! I would wait the two days, no problem!! Wow!! How can you do it there, just squatting??

[@shelleynunn4123]

Just sqaut. However you can buy this thing called a go girl so you can pee standing up like a guy

[@Heartwing37]

Like bears don’t smell you without deodorant? I’m willing to risk it!

[@kayasimcoe3108]

Cool!

[@CatherineFox-mj9hf]

I’m 8 and me and my friend who is younger than me are better at setting up a tent then penn is

[@nadineparsons3963]

Bag from a box. I have so done that in the bathroom of a whole foods, around the corner after I peed behind the same whole foods, and then had my monger asked me if I had an extra glass. Oh but I did. Or I asked her if she just wanted to tilt her head. So I went to into mixologist moment. 🤪 Get 'er done.

[@makennac8708]

"You're not gonna die if you fall in!"

[@aleahlittle5514]

I'm going to Yellowstone and we're going to walk 6 miles

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

[@ElizaBeth-Theatre]

Penn said into the wilderness. I wish he said into the holderness

[@sydneyliedtke4773]

What mountain are you hiking I live in Colorado and would love to see if I have hiked it before.

[@tingandgang2069]

This looks so fun! My moms not really into camping because when I was a baby we went to Yellowstone and it was so cold we had to sleep in the car and we didn’t have a great experience, though it was beautiful! We haven’t really done any camping trips since.... But this year we convinced her!(We’ll be glamping for part of it in a cabin.) But we’ll definitely go out in a tent for a couple of days! I wish that we could do something like this! It looks like an amazing experience and one that I’d love to have!And it’s ok that you aren’t pros! What really matters is making these family memories that you and the kids will always remember. And it looks like you did just that!

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

It was a great experience and it was way out of my comfort zone.

[@megannordlander5700]

Our family is 5 people and a dog and we all fit in one tent
