MUST-HAVE Pop Up Camping ITEMS: What to Bring Pop Up Camping!

[@ItsPoppin]

What can you not go camping without?

[@wendywilson1736]

Haha, my nebulizer and inhalers!! I love camping, and campfire chilling, but I have asthma, and it usually gets stirred up, if I sit downwind from the smoke. So, I am grateful to have our new to us Jayco pop up with electrical outlets in it, and a booth to sit in. Our tent does have a cord portal in it, and we had the powerstrip, but it's just nice to know there will be a place to plug in without concern about tripping over a cord, or relying on my battery to be charged up. Its the little things in life, to make the trips Much more enjoyable. Weather, hiking, biking, and sometimes swimming can stir it up, too.😊 Our young great nephew had to interrupt his campout with his cousins this weekend, because he had trouble breathing, and ended up in the hospital for two nights, because of it. I sure hope they prescribed him a nebulizer to use at home and on trips. My travel model has saved many trips. I take it everywhere.😏

Real lawn chairs, like the old ones, not these horrid roll up things. Large folding tables. Charcoal lighter fluid, campsite wood is always wet these days.

@@wendywilson1736 You're not alone when it comes to meds. Some of us need rescue inhalers or other such quick fixers -- always nearby, just in case. Thanks for the reminder. So sorry to hear about your nephew. Pretty heavy cross to bear for the young 'uns.

As a person who deals with people stranded on the highway in cars/trucks/rv's. I would add anything breakdown related like jumper cables, 12V air compressor,good tire jack,extra electrical fuses, extra brake light bulbs, Id even say an extra spare tire if you have room. Nothing will get your wife and kids more upset then being on a highway calling for a tow truck at 11pm because you ran over debris and blew out both tires in a camper. Id also have a inspection of greasing the wheel bearings and proper tire pressure.

[@scottfirman]

I replaced all wheel bearings and tires on this 94 popup we just purchased in August.

[@mattsenft4810]

@@scottfirman That should be mandatory replacement when buying a used one.

[@giosource08]

Tires chocks, camper levelers, tools, extension cords, locking cables,…oh well, just like you said, it’s up to where you are going and what activities you are up to. Great channel, thanks for the awesome content

[@rubixmania100]

Having been a Cub Scout leader we learned to work with minimal equipment. We use melamine dinnerware to keep items from the landfill. We also cook over an open fire 🔥 in Dutch Ovens and just bring an over fire grate to use our cast iron skillets. While i love coffee, I use instant coffee and a kettle in the camper. That way it can also make hot tea or hot cocoa. We tend to use multiuse items and not one trick ponies.

[@wendywilson1736]

The single use items do take up a lot of space, too! We also rely on heating water for instant cocoa, tea, or instant coffee. We are camping, even though our newest tent has wheels, now. My 60+yo joints need to get off of even the airmattress on the ground, anymore.😏

[@rayh592]

I agree with a hot water put, not a coffee pot. I use an over cup drop filter and real coffee

[@mackigator]

First Aid kit. When you need it you'll be glad you have it.

[@ItsPoppin]

Definitely - we keep one in our tow vehicle at all times.

[@TjFruichantie]

Purchased a pop up camper recently and getting ready to use it for the first time this weekend. I found your videos and have been binge-watching them! Love the name of your channel by the way! Keep the videos coming!

[@ItsPoppin]

Thanks!

[@philiptetlow910]

I found a cheap drill, bit, and screw in tent pegs! For the awnings and hard ground! Bent many an ordinary tent peg trying to tie down awnings and flies

[@mylittlebigadventures6664]

We just found your channel “My Little Big Adventures” features our son who has a degenerative and terminal genetic disorder. We will be getting our pop up through Make-A-Wish. Our little guy LOVES camping we have been in a borrowed pop up a few time. I’m educating myself for when we get our very own!

[@rubixmania100]

I would love to have an "It's Poppin!" T-shirt with a pop-up camper on it.

[@HerrP58]

What, no merch?

[@scottfirman]

with us, an electric skillet is a must have. We use that for breakfasts mostly but its a must have item.

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

If only they weren’t Teflon coated. Ceramic is the way to protect your health when cooking with non stick vs plastic coated Teflon. 🤟🏼 Stay healthy and happy camping.

[@lancerbomb08]

I gotta tell you, from a family that will be purchasing their first pop up in the next week or so, I love your content. It’s extremely valuable information so I appreciate everything you post. But can I make just one suggestion? Your intro tag line for you videos before the intro scene/music should be “Let’s get it poppin’” I feel like you missed an opportunity here. Lol. Keep up the great work!

[@ItsPoppin]

Ha, that's good!

[@berryrobertson]

I use a percolator for my coffee and even use it sometimes at home when I'm not camping

[@carlhoffman1723]

I always bring along a small first aid kit with bee sting and bug bite stuff.

[@TheDudeVT]

We call them Hobo pies up here in Vermont where I'm at. Thank you for all these great ideas. 👍. We have a 2003 Coleman pop up camper Sun Valley model.

[@jcdragon77]

We call them a Jaffle Iron (makes Jaffles) in Australia

[@amierikke6225]

Great video! We are going on our first pop up camping excursion next weekend. I can’t wait. From our past tent camping experiences, I make our fire starters from toilet paper cardboard rolls stuffed with dryer lint. They work well.

[@ItsPoppin]

Cheap and easy!

[@wendywilson1736]

We go in just a few weeks. Looking forward to it. I made some fire starters like you mentioned, but I wonder if they will work. We have a lot of pet hair in our dryer lint, and wonder if burning hair is going to smell so great. Hope it burns away fast. I also used to tightly crumple up newspaper/junk mail, and stuff the tubes, too.

[@HerrP58]

We're getting a popup next week. (Yay!) So getting those firestarters together will be good "homework" for the grandbabies to prep for each trip!

[@bonniepyperraymond6445]

Thanks for your videos! I would love to see what you guys cook on your camp outs.

[@ItsPoppin]

Mrs. It's Poppin has some ideas brewing for a classic camping weekend menu video in the works - just need to finish the current renovation so we can get out and camp!

[@Mauriceandcarolyn]

Great video. We went on our first pop up camping trip this past week in our Reno area pop up camper. Great ideas in the video. I think that the cooler was our must have item. The fridge in a pop up isn’t very big so you need a place to store extra food, drinks, and prepared items from home. A lot of camp grounds will have ice or you can get them close by, so it was a big game changer. Thanks for sharing.

[@ItsPoppin]

Thanks guys, how’d your first trip go?

[@Mauriceandcarolyn]

It's Poppin' - Pop Up Camping it was great. On a military base, walking distance to a beach, so break downs, and awesome footage of the kids enjoying the beach. Caught some good fish, crabs too. Learned a lot about the do’s and donts of pop up camping.

[@ItsPoppin]

Nice, you guys should definitely make a video about the do’s and don’ts.

[@Mauriceandcarolyn]

It's Poppin' - Pop Up Camping thanks. In the works. Hope to have that out soon.

[@mattsenft4810]

Yeah I took out my fridge,sink,stove,and water tank all together. The only thing we kinda missed was the fridge just because one day the campstore was out of ice.

[@jordanh4127]

We bought our first popup yesterday! 2021 rockwood 282tesp. We were not going to do new but used ones were hard to find. Family of 6 and we already plan to go to zions (we live in Utah) in 2 weeks. Excited to learn and explore in a camper. The last few years we have used out 12 person tent. Plan to live full time in a camper in the next 10 years. Figured a popup was a good starting point

[@ItsPoppin]

Jealous!

[@jordanh4127]

@@ItsPoppin thanks for all the amazing content! Makes me want to start a channel myself.

[@ItsPoppin]

Go for it!

[@sherronleedion7579]

Holy crow, that is a lot of stuff! Are you hiring a semi to bring all that stuff with you?

[@noelg5916]

Awesome video camping kit

[@eleventofive5047]

Love your channel -- it's been so helpful as we go through our first season with our new (to us) pop up. What's your reasoning for not using your fridge very often? I've loved having one -- it's fit all our perishable food for a long weekend and we've only needed a small cooler for drinks.

[@HerrP58]

I was wondering this too.

[@TheNella3887]

Thanks for the wolf'em tip. I hadn't seen or heard of them before.

[@carlhoffman1723]

Hi! Do you feel that slide out Jack are needed???

[@brianw3964]

Another great video. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@disasterduck13]

Thanks for the video

[@patriciaborst4802]

Ruben pudgie pies are the best!

[@disfam4759]

Just wondering what kind of wood you used for your woofem sticks. My local home store has oak and poplar but want to make sure neither will make us sick?

[@ItsPoppin]

Oh man, great question Pete. If I recall correctly, they're either oak or a different hardwood, which is what I believe was recommended.

[@kylewalker9357]

@@ItsPoppin White oak is food grade, but you can use about any locally sourced. think of cutting boards, or wood countertops.

[@cavewoman3rd]

I enjoy using a tripod over a fire to cook my meals

[@RcEpic]

What is a whoopem? Link? Thanks

[@ItsPoppin]

Woofum sticks are for roasting biscuit dough and filling them with whatever you like.
