Secret Hack To Camping MB - How To Get Camping Merit Badge

Hey guys, Mac Guzman here. This video is different from my usual how-to videos, but I know this video will be helpful towards a lot of scouts.
I started this merit badge a long time ago as most of you know. It's not that it's hard, but you really need to keep track over the requirements. That is why I made this video in order to make it easier for scouts to earn this badge.
Keep in mind that you do not INSTANTLY get the correlated requirements. Even though they are similar, make sure that both requirements are full filled. What do you bring on a camp out. Why is it important to know the weather when camping.
I hope you have gotten at least 53% of the merit badge from this, and I hope the video will help you earn the Camping Merit Badge:

Camping Requirements:
(There is a word limit, so I will put the 53% requirements, then I will put a link to the rest)
1. Do the following:
(a) Explain to your counselor the most likely hazards you may encounter while participating in camping activities and what you should do to anticipate, help prevent, mitigate, and respond to these hazards
(b) Discuss with your counselor why it is important to be aware of weather conditions before and during your camping activities. Tell how you can prepare should the weather turn bad during your campouts.
(c) Show that you know first aid for and how to prevent injuries or illnesses that could occur while camping, including hypothermia, frostbite, heat reactions, dehydration, altitude sickness, insect stings, tick bites, snakebite, blisters, and hyperventilation.
2. Learn the Leave No Trace principles and the Outdoor Code and explain what they mean. Write a personal plan for implementing these principles on your next outing.
5. Do the following:
(a) Prepare a list of clothing you would need for overnight campouts in both warm and cold weather. Explain the term "layering."
(b) Discuss footwear for different kinds of weather and how the right footwear is important for protecting your feet.
(c) Explain the proper care and storage of camping equipment (clothing, footwear, bedding).
(d) List the outdoor essentials necessary for any campout, and explain why each item is needed.
(e) Present yourself to your Scoutmaster with your pack for inspection. Be correctly clothed and equipped for an overnight campout.
6. (c) Describe the factors to be considered in deciding where to pitch your tent.
7. Prepare for an overnight campout with your patrol by doing the following:
(a) Make a checklist of personal and patrol gear that will be needed.
(b) Pack your own gear and your share of the patrol equipment and food for proper carrying. Show that your pack is right for quickly getting what is needed first, and that it has been assembled properly for comfort, weight, balance, size, and neatness.
8. Do the following:
(a) Explain the safety procedures for:
(1) Using a propane or butane/propane stove
(2) Using a liquid fuel stove
(3) Proper storage of extra fuel
(b) Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different types of lightweight cooking stoves.
(c) Prepare a camp menu. Explain how the menu would differ from a menu for a backpacking or float trip. Give recipes and make a food list for your patrol. Plan two breakfasts, three lunches, and two suppers. Discuss how to protect your food against bad weather, animals, and contamination.
(d) While camping in the outdoors, cook at least one breakfast, one lunch, and one dinner for your patrol from the meals you have planned for requirement 8c. At least one of those meals must be a trail meal requiring the use of a lightweight stove.
9. Show experience in camping by doing the following:
(b) On any of these camping experiences, you must do TWO of the following, only with proper preparation and under qualified supervision:
(1) Hike up a mountain, gaining at least 1,000 vertical feet.
(2) Backpack, snowshoe, or cross-country ski for at least 4 miles.
(3) Take a bike trip of at least 15 miles or at least four hours.
(4) Take a nonmotorized trip on the water of at least four hours or 5 miles.
(5) Plan and carry out an overnight snow camping experience.
(6) Rappel down a rappel route of 30 feet or more.

I like how you listed the rank requirement at the beginning that helped earn the Camping MB. You must be very experienced in scouting by now to know how to do this.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thank you so much, I had a little help, but I am happy to hear that it helps!

[@PoeTheSquash]

You are my hero., Camping is one of the hardest and longest merit badges to get.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I think so as well, its definitely one of the more difficult ones

[@00jenerz]

This video was so helpful for my Life scout. Saved a ton of time not re-doing requirements that he had already done. He started 4 years ago, left it, and has done everything needed no. Huge help. Thanks.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks for watching and posting a comment. I am sincerely glad it helped. This is a difficult badge and can take several months to complete when working on it steadily.

[@chrisrekstad3882]

I got Camping at summer camp this year! During the class, this kid tried to steal my watch but my friend caught him red-handed! Thanks Daniel!

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

haha thats funny. Over at summer camp I found a watch on the ground and was going to keep it, but i decided to turn it in. Thanks for commenting!

[@chrisrekstad3882]

@@EagleScoutMacGuzman I had a similar story my first year at camp! I found it on a picnic bench in my campsite, I wanted to keep it, but I decided to give it to my scoutmaster and then he found the owner.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Integrity is doing what is right when you think no one is looking.😀

[@malagu4ever856]

What an efficient way to complete the merit badges. You are one smart boy scout.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Im not smart, I just think ahead enough to get things done. If i was smart I would not have quit scouts 4 years ago, lol

[@digital-d.official]

Im a star scout rank and am almost done with this badge! I've been working on alot of merit badges on my own lately. Your videos are awesome keep doing what your doing! I would also encourage you to join order of the arrow. It's a cool thing to do in scouting! Its awesome how much your getting done in 2 years! Keep up the hustle💯💯

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Congrats on Star ⭐️! I try to make my scouting videos enjoyable and informative.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

@Dylan Tipton I am thinking about OA in the fall and Venturing after 18.

[@quantum_leaps7144]

This is a great video. I'm currently a First Class Scout and don't have the Camping Merit Badge. This was a great help!

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

That means a lot man, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) What other merit badges are you working on?

[@quantum_leaps7144]

The three citizenship badges, family life, and communication.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

@@quantum_leaps7144 ahh yes those are good to do. I would tell you what badges i am working on, but that will be mentioned in next week's status update ;)

[@KaavyGoudar]

Very helpful video. Thank you for doing this! One question - what did you do for a trail meal using a lightweight stove?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I think it was hamburger.

[@namreetabrar1307]

This is indeed a great video.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks I filmed some on campouts and some it in my backyard. Here is a link to the original kzbin.info/www/bejne/ganNY5WEpa99bK8

Great job with this difficult merit badge.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thank you, it took me a while to make this video

[@BlueWhaleLord]

Your video appeared in my suggested😎. How do you come up with all these hacks to finish badges quicker without redoing things?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I have redone things before, so I make notes of what I do now so it doesnt happen again.

[@daisylubleh6086]

Hi macguzman I just watched your Fortnite video on your other channel

Thanks

[@CoolPerson300]

I know this is up to me but based off of your thoughts would it be better to work on merit badges when I get a higher rank or should I do some of them at scout rank

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Try a easy badge first and see how it goes.The first rank you need MBs is Star Scout.

[@cg03studios73]

Quick question I haven't got this merit badge yet (I'm a star going to life then egale), I've gone on several camping trips and the tenderfoot,second class,and first class requirements are done for the ones you mentioned is it possible that I've done have the badge itself?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

It’s possible you completed a lot if it. Some requirements are very specific and usually need to be planned out prior to the campout. Read the requirement, keep good camping logs, and talk to your MB counselor.

[@grottyband8052]

For requirement 3, it doesn’t specifically say that you have to follow through with the overnight trek, right? So you can just plan it with a gps and topo map and get the requirement

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Correct. It says “Make a written plan* for an overnight trek and show how to get to your camping spot by using a topographical map and one of the following: (a) A compass (b) A GPS receiver** (c) A smartphone with a GPS app* *To complete this requirement, you may use the Scout Planning Worksheet at troopleader.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/512-505_16_Wksht_WEB.pdf. **If a GPS-equipped device is not available, explain how to use one to get to your camping spot.”
