Raining While Camping at Pfeiffer State Park Campground in Big Sur (November 2023)

My friends and I went camping at Pfeiffer State Park in Big Sur, CA back in November. When the date was approaching, there was a storm warning and that it will rain during the weekend we went. Luckily, it was intermittent rain and was actually very enjoyable. I did a slightly different set up this time by ditching the provided picnic table and setting up tables under the canopy that I brought.
Someone had requested a description of the brand/model of the camping gear I used in the video. I will try to note what I can for those who are looking into camping gear below and where I bought them:

Thank you so much for sharing your camping experience! I’m fascinated to learn about camping in the northern parts of this beautiful state! Even though I have lived here all my life!!! 😂 my family loves camping!

I'm glad you enjoyed watching it! It's weird but the furthest south side of California I have camped at is probably Pismo Beach! I am actually trying to find more spots closer to SoCal so I don't have to drive so far LOL

The rain made it really relaxing.

enjoyed ur video would be awesome if you can put brand name gear/equipment in ur description next camping trip. just started camping and looking to get some gear ideas.

[@oomashimaruoo]

Thanks for the idea! I actually edited this video description and added the gear I have used. I will try to add them into future camping videos!

Really good video! The only complaint is that the music you play over the video is very loud and I would have personally preferred to hear the sounds of you setting up the camp with the sounds of rain. I loved the sounds of rain when you were cooking and eating! You are very personable and I will definitely watch your videos again!

[@oomashimaruoo]

Thanks! I think the issue was that the gopro didn't pick up sound well. I reduced the music by 10-15db and tried to amplify the audio. I actually bought a wireless mic to resolve this issue next time. I'm still trying to figure out the best audio setting so feedback like this is appreciated!

where did u buy your canopy and what brand?

[@oomashimaruoo]

The brand was by ALL-TOP and I bought it off Amazon. The specific size I bought was the 6.6'x8.2'. You can find it if you search for ALL-Top Vehicle Awning
