Car camping vs. thruhiking. Both are great ways to enjoy the outdoors!

[@TheAmandamook]

Thanks for acknowledging both options as valid. Car camping is perfect for our family. We have a blast biking, playing, and hanging out with other families ☺️

[@YourMama_420]

Even if they hadn’t…. It still would be valid for you if it works for you. It’s really relieving when you live by your standards and not someone else’s or societies 🌻. Glamping is “valid” too lol. We bring air mattresses into our tents 😂. Our family brings their camper and parks next to us lol. It’s all fun. It’s all quality time. &&& out in nature 🥰 Who caresssssss how we do it?! As long as we safe & responsible

[@criminalitycollective]

Interesting. I felt like they did the opposite.

[@my-chemical-romance]

​@@criminalitycollective How? They just showed that they actively do both, enjoy both, and that there are just differences. Car camping gives more luxury but can cost more, thru hiking gives more freedom of where to go but they're so exhausted at the end of each day all they can do is sleep.

[@cornchip07]

i have no interest in camping myself but you guys are just so adorable that i still love seeing your videos come across my feed!

[@madiness]

So cool to see you guys so successful at both!!

[@thewisdomofaspen3022]

It makes me really happy to think of you guys camping with a load of friends just for fun as well

[@silby77]

I thought the same thing!!

[@terrybittenbender4561]

“Extra junk like chairs” hehehe That’s the one (junk) thing I don’t do without! Love you guys!

[@maryblakley3590]

My car camping set-up sort of straddles both worlds! We have a smaller vehicle, so we look for gear items that pack down smaller (but still bring a 2 burner stove, chairs, hammocks, etc). I love both backpacking and car camping because for me it's about doing more with less and simplifying life!

[@dhandley8893]

Car camping can take some adjustment after years of backpacking. Chairs are such a luxury, especially as we've gotten older.

[@aiboi1]

These two are perfect for each other

[@prod.kSebeats]

I feel like these 2 are the happiest people on earth and i’m so here for it

[@michaelcondon8286]

Insufferable

[@ocean_hummer]

I totally agree that these two are living their best life. Love it! 💜

[@lindapops]

We were a camping family. We had a special area we headed to every summer and I am so glad we did. It was our best family time.

[@VlogsByEv459]

You guys are awesome ! I watch your videos all the time and it makes me smile when I see you posted! You've inspired me to hike more , it's so cool to see how far you guys have come ! Next year I'm planning to hike and camp for a few weeks at a time !

[@reneeandtim]

Thanks! Have fun!!

[@christianrodriguez629]

I love these two . A happy couple enjoying nature together. Beautiful and informational

[@ginnymurray5815]

Great video. Choices to make. Have done both for 57 years. Sierra Nevada mts. Yosemite. Sequoia. Love each style. Nature. Life's joyfulness. Txs.

[@grimO_O]

They would be the perfect owners for a dog❤

[@clairebright777]

Ah man, I haven't come across your videos for a few months and this made me so miss camping! My husband I lived in our tent for 3 months this summer in between apartments and we just loved it. :)

[@lanecountybigfooters5716]

I once lived in my minivan in Maine during summer... not the worst thing!!!

[@nikip9161]

Ohhhh the memories you'll have, infinitum. Beautiful. 🌄🌅⛰️🏔🌲🌳🍀🦋❤

[@Mary-hf2uc]

Dangit I really want these people to be my friends and take me camping with them! 🤣😭

[@larryn8]

I do both backpacking and car camping… well more like overlanding bringing my kayak. Nice comparison video. You two are great at putting a lot of information into little video bites.

[@kayladawn]

LOVE.THIS 👑 I love how you had her hold the car camping gear when it was obviously too heavy😂

[@reggaespiritdance]

❤❤❤! Wish I didn’t attract ticks so easily. You guys help me enjoy the camping hiking life! Keep rocking it!

[@barnold23]

I’ve watched you guys forever hoping that I’ll one day be motivated enough to attempt some of the more challenging hikes in my areas, but I just noticed something today (and I hope I can say this without sounding weird), but you guys make SUCH a cute couple. Bonus points to whoever can identify the exact moment in this short when I came to my realization! Lol

[@totoroben]

There's a campground near me with a lake, an archery range, a disc golf course, and a huge dog park with dog beach, and if you have kiddos there's even a forest play area for kids. It's a different type of camping sure, but in various activities and for families, it's well worth it to car camp there. I do enjoy backpacking too

[@MrTrevers99]

You should do a series where you take all your car gear thru hiking and only your thru gear car camping lol

[@reneeandtim]

🤣🤣🤣

[@arlenesolis024]

❤❤through hiking 🥾 takes you to the best places. Can’t wait to see your next adventure

[@kanetoews7747]

You two are so amazing at camping anywhere

[@alexandradunn8669]

Love your content. Absolutely love it.

[@Atlanta543]

You channel is amazing this is my dream when i’m old enough! Love you guys 💙

[@haleydelpesce2022]

I truly love both car camping and backpacking, both are incredibly valid ways to enjoy the outdoors!!

[@pearljj82]

Your posts always puts a smile on my face 😊

[@randomrachel1480]

Yay! I love seeing your content!! I did so much backpacking this summer here in the PNW! Bummed summer is over.

[@yianna147]

You two are so awesome🙌🏻

[@andreaschloss3905]

Vocês dois são inspiração para mim. Obrigado por dividir informações e conhecimento conosco 🙏🏻❤️😘

[@annp97]

Loved the comparison!

[@opybrook7766]

Both great but as a grandma, I'll go with BIG car camping 😂. I am done sleeping and sitting on the ground 🤣. Can't get up nor down so well any longer...

[@crystalinabacteria3430]

I admire you both❤

[@AydanDurant]

So cool to see you guys doing both types of camping. I’m more of a thru hiker myself as well but my family likes to go out to big campsites and bring an absurd amount of stuff just to stay 1 night. They call it “glamping or glamour camping “

[@chloeo4340]

I can't wait to do these things and go to those places. Your channel keeps my dreams alive

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

..car camping is a great place to test new backpacking gear .. make sure of all pieces there and functions as expected .. no suprises on trail in the rain ..

[@jeskeepinitreal]

I'm impressed with the bravery of taking on the wide open outdoors with all its critters and weirdos and only a light fabric between your sleeping body and all that.

[@FocusBeyond777]

The meadow where you talk about essential items is so beautiful! I'd love to know where it is.

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

The inspirational couple... Great channel

[@wilurbean]

We got an ez up for car camping. Love it. Game changer imo. Got hit with a monster rain storm first night in it, stayed very dry

[@jesse954305]

So true nailed it. And here in the Adirondacks i live and doing both is always going to be must which i do with a Family of four…But when it’s just me ..What a relief backpacking lol

[@darrenshinn2764]

You two are amazeballs. I'm so envious

[@407099]

This is so amazing,I am truly jealous. Hopefully I’m able to do something like this one day.

[@THEFISHYBOYS11]

You guys are so cool I really appreciate what you do. I was wondering if you could maybe hike the Appalachian Trail

[@CarolChillsCasually]

I hate camping cause I’m a snob but I love watching y’all have so much fun on the trails!

[@JokkazArt]

This level of happy couple makes you think… about what horrible things they are hiding from eachother

[@Lois-o1f]

😮...😊

[@villanuevafamily4]

Love love love this video.

[@ppunion]

Hiking and car camping are 2 vastly different activities. But both are awesome activities. I recommend experiencing both. I recommend doing both regularly.

[@DrTHC]

I am a master car camper/road tripper, and I can tell you that I never pay for places to set up camp. With only a little research, you can find the info. For instance: most BLM land is free to set up camp, usually for up to 14 days... There are maps online. Most rest areas have places to have a fire and cook, refill water, use the bathroom, and get rid of trash. You generally can't pitch a tent, but you can sleep in your car and do everything else at the rest area... You'd be amazed at how many rest areas in the US are situated right near hiking trails! Most have a limit between 12hrs and 3 days...I often make friends with security or staff, if I can. I drive twice a year between Puerto Vallarta, Nayarit, Mexico and Anchor Point, Alaska, and I don't like spending a ton of money on hotels... So my pup and I always car camp the entire way. Truck stops usually have showers and laundry, so that's easy to do on the fly. ✌️

[@Lois-o1f]

🙏✌️😊❤

[@jennifer1424]

I have the same two tents! This was fun 😊

[@sitalaughlin3130]

I'm trying to find the thruhiking tent they have, what is the name of it?

[@jennifer1424]

I’m pretty sure the backpacking tent is the 3F UL tent (there are various options (I have Lanshan 2 pro). Similar tents that are a bit more are Gossamer Gear’s The Two (on sale for leap day) and Zpacks Duplex tent. All great options!

[@janar734]

Your car camping must feel like glamping at times lol. Love to see you splurge on chairs and jug water ❤

[@roycereinhart-brown2549]

This is why many Native peoples were nomadic and traveled from place to place. As opposed to settlers.

[@angelicajacobs584]

I go car camping every year at least 3 times. I love it but sometimes the campgrounds are so crowded that I want to do more backcountry camping rather. I love my car camping tent. Even has a screened in attached porch so when the black flies and mosquitos are bad we are good :)

[@willingorange6613]

A video on how you find your route would be great!

[@agavedragon7715]

I think we have the same car camping tent!! love your videos

[@aodh5966]

Great to see people getting out and embracing nature 💪

[@Armadurapersonal]

my favourite spot for camping is a 2 mile hike away... its free and the small hike keeps noisy and dirty people away! i like the mix of both

[@LightYagaming]

I love how luxurious car camping is compared to thru hiking. Very enjoying the journey vs taking it easy

[@kristita_888]

I love this! Are y’all planning on hiking the Appalachian Trail anytime soon? I am obsessed with starting to section hike it!

[@csc8697]

Great adventure life, thanks for sharing!

[@EliciaVanscyoc-l5h]

One day my family will do this we want to prepare those thanks for the information

[@jade-corynnespeanburg9218]

Love seeing this comparison!

[@raeandringa7260]

You guys are seriously the best

[@Marty0101]

I love watching your videos. Would you be able to do one for what gear you guys use for both types of camping? ❤❤❤

[@ashleykleinkauf2963]

We need a hike of the AT!

[@amari9773]

that'a a cool two person tent!

[@lukeplays1509]

What do you guys do if you get sick when you’re on the trail?

[@bobedmonds2049]

for camping with my family I use the same big water jug

[@Timburgess03..]

Would love if you guys did a video on if you ever ran into like a bear or a Kruger. 😅 and I don’t mean from a far distance but close up.

[@mandywinter6490]

We just started car camping I would love to see your Essentials

[@braedenthe1719]

I lean more towards what my family calls backpacking where we definitely hike in a bit but then we might enjoy a few days in one spot or move between a few but the goals not really miles it’s more for the exploration and experience

[@mars4697]

Love this!

[@TimMakesCommercials]

Random question… the clip of you filling up your water bottle while thru hiking, was that on the Umpqua trail in Oregon? Dredd and Terror section?

[@EvanEdwards]

Motocamping -- somewhere in between. You do the thruhiking, plus a few luxuries.

[@pawkipu]

My favourite couple on KZbin 🤭 God bless you both 🫶

[@allisonmarlow184]

That's not a tent -- that's a small apartment!😆 Kyle Hates Hiking would get a kick out of this.

[@jep9092]

I like to pack for as if i were thru hiking with a base weight of about 20 poumds but with a few extras because we go to a primative campsite with toilets and showers

[@secretaltruism4174]

It's interesting with thruhiking because I'm not sure there's many places you could do it in Australia. Unless somewhere is a designated campsite, it's usually not legal to camp so we protect the native wildlife.

[@lorettascott5477]

We just came over that ... EPIC 😊❤🙏

[@monochromcos]

I don't even like hiking. I am an indoor girly. I don't like camping. I like having a set toilet and snacks and internet around ema t all time. But man I love those videos so much.

[@Fenrires]

I feel like you guys would build the nicest campervan

[@Ganjanomicon]

Good to see you all again!

[@tresdj]

Have you ever accidentally pitched the tent somewhere that could of/did get you moved/in trouble? Asking for a friend...

[@Yoyoma27]

You guys are my spirit animals

[@trailgoodsco]

respect for the bud heavy!

[@marthaarthur1364]

Car camping must feel like a ritzy hotel vs thru hiking. 😊

[@simplystrawberry2007]

Day 1 of asking: how do u guys keep your phones charged?

[@wildflowerwonderer9426]

I do the same when car camping, all the extras and comforts. Meanwhile I have half a toothbrush and have cut straps to save weight lol

[@Jase9797]

Might be worth investing in a gravity water filter, that filter looked like effort having to squeeze the water through it.

[@aleciahotz1208]

And both are camping!!!! My household is the same way… do we need the 4lb tent or the 74lb tent? ❤❤❤

[@the_bob_147]

Where I live it's super illegal to set up tents just about anywhere in nature. Like in some areas you can't camp but in some you can't even open a tent to sleep

[@valdemarjrgensen8072]

Is it possible to go somewhere else. Where I live it's not completely illegal to camp in the wild, but it's such a hassle I go to a neighbouring country (Norway) for my trips.

[@tlsnnihs1484]

And don't forget the Coffee ☕ 💕🥰

[@bramverweij134]

I go bike camping, I'm somewhere in the middle:).

[@drewsjim1014]

I love backpacking, but how do you guys get rid of bruises on your hips. I section hacked the at months ago and I still have bruises 😂

[@tgeliot]

Is that "pillow" you patted a jacket in a stuff sack or what? I try to create pillows that way and they always end up very lumpy.

[@ltmaniac6456]

You guys should hike the superior hiking trail in Minnesota

[@Diadactyl]

I'd love to meet you guys 😂

[@jeffcmo1957]

Apples to oranges. I love fruit.

[@JacksonStaten]

it would be cool to see you guys walk from new jersey to california

[@Lois-o1f]

😮😂
