My must have is a thermos. I like to boil a lot of water at one time and use throughout the day vs as needed.

[@theoutdoorempire]

That's a great idea!

[@AdventuresofKonaandPete]

Love this idea!

[@susie9893]

Absolutely. Especially in winter. Those regular hot drinks are key to maintaining your core temp. Even at home, the first thing I do on a winter morning is boil a full kettle. Then I make a thermos of herbal tea and sip throughout the day to stay warm and hydrated. I definitely do this when I travel

[@Meme-qd2oj]

Double-walled thermos’ are also must-haves for ice/water if you can get it-not only to cool you off in the inferno known as the Deep South, but for injuries-cold cold cold. Great idea yes. I like two, one for hot too (during the couple weeks of winter we have when temps get down in the 40’s 😯)

[@danemmerich6775]

Great tutorial video. I need to hear this again. Your video was the best I have seen so far.

[@theoutdoorempire]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@mamadee9548]

Saw a cool idea for carrying spices for a light weight/ short camping trip. Using a pill sorting box. You can get 7-14 day pill sorters which can give you a nice selection of spices x

[@theoutdoorempire]

Great tip, I love that idea!

[@corysmith9975]

Loved the info and style of this video, thanks for making it!

[@theoutdoorempire]

My pleasure!

[@truneilson]

I take a twin sheet or two from the thrift store to cover all tables, best table cloth ever!

[@annetteolson2428]

Bottom sheet with the elastic

[@truneilson]

@annetteolson2428 You'd think that, but I use a top sheet with some cinch straps that I then use to hold down the table cloth and gear. I also bungee my pop-up shade to the strap to keep it from catching in the wind.

[@umaiar]

"I just go on about this kind of stuff" LOL, my twin brother and I had a whole conversation about lawn care without even thinking about it. Once we realized, it was clear that we're obviously "getting old" 😂

[@theoutdoorempire]

Oh man, yes. I've definitely hit that threshold.

[@susie9893]

At least you realised it. Eventually

[@GaiaCarney]

Thanks for this helpful advice!

[@theoutdoorempire]

Glad it was helpful!

[@5203129912]

Thanks!

[@theoutdoorempire]

You are most welcome and thank YOU!

[@carmenmartinez2882]

Many National Parks in the West require you store your food specially the cooler inside the provided park’s bear box regardless how “bear proof” it is, otherwise you’ll get a hefty fine, parks like Yosemite or Sequoia etc are well patrolled, so be aware. Just saying. Can cooker! Bulky but you can make some delicious meals, totally worth if you have the space. Instead of oven mittens use welding gloves, better protection, you can even rearrange flaming logs without burning yourself, good to prevent splinters or bites from bugs that like to hide under the wood.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Great tips, thanks!

[@susie9893]

Also good when collecting wood or if needing to rearrange trident over fire. So many many uses

[@twloughlin]

You should look into the more compact double burner stoves out there. They are a nice middle ground between the Everest 2X/Coleman style and the one-burner option. The BSR-32 foldable and the Nature Hike 2-burner foldable camp stoves are two that come readily to mind. Both are ideal for a solo or two-person car camping trip.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Indeed. I'd like to get a whole bunch someday and do a head to head comparison.

[@jankolbe2879]

Please do!

[@carmenmartinez2882]

I have the BRS and love it, so compact and precise when you need to simmer.

[@jerseydevil7895]

The BSR 32 has about the same footprint folded as the single burner Spyder stove, but 2 burners. Both are compact and great.

[@stanbyme7874]

Hope your out enjoying your weekend. Have the green Coleman/cast iron but use my Jet Boil the most. Perfect for one. Take Care

[@theoutdoorempire]

Nice! I haven't done the jetboil myself but have friends who swear by them.

[@AwkwardQuokka]

Another good option for water storage is a Jerry Can that includes a hollow fiber filter, like HydroBlu's.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Ya, those are great. Good tip, thanks!

[@Aquanout28]

Home size plate is a must to me. There rest can be compacted, but not plate.

[@cindybracy9202]

Cast iron skillet! I use at least one a day- home and camping.

[@danemmerich6775]

Love my CARBON STEEL pans. But love my Dutch Oven.

[@zerohecks4864]

Assembly line dish cleaning good tip.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Gets the job done quicker!

[@susie9893]

Camping 101

[@solovantravel]

There's no substitution to the thermos I bought from Walmart. I have a hydroflask but that Thermos keeps water boiling hot for 24 hours and ice for nearly two days

[@susie9893]

Yes I have a budget equivalent I bought in my 20s and I still use it 20 years later

[@criskool841]

Wrap a bit of duck-tape around that lighter. It makes for great kindling (fire starter) for a campfire.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Great tip!

[@terwonick]

How heat resistant is that kettle? One of the reasons I passed on the last version was reviews claiming that it melted over a normal camping stove 😬

[@ronvosick8253]

I found out that Kong is temporarily halting the manufacturing of their coolers.

[@jasperqualls6872]

Really sucks. Really enjoyed my Kong cooler and constantly tell people about them.

[@theoutdoorempire]

I saw that this week as well (after I had filmed this video). Too bad, they have some die hard fans.

[@roytrammellii5874]

Very helpful

[@theoutdoorempire]

Glad you found it useful.

Transporting eggs in that container is a pretty big waste of space and creates some extra waste at the campsite. We crack all of the eggs we need for the trip and separate them into reusable containers. I have even used a Gatorade style bottle with the larger opening to keep the eggs. This allows for prescrambled or keeping them "whole" for a nice runny yolk.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Good tips on storing eggs, though I'm not sure multiple reusable containers or a Gatorade bottle will save any more space than this. But I like that idea of ready-made scrambled eggs!

[@susie9893]

I think it depends on how long you're going to be out for. Your method works fine for a few days but if you're out for over a week....

[@staceyhartman6825]

Coleman WHITE GAS stove. Inexpensive fuel and it lasts upwards of 10 years if kept in a dry enviroment. It loses some octane, but its still usable.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Good suggestion.

[@mrhalfstep]

So, do you pack in your metal plates and cups and then just leave them in the woods? You have to pack those out just like you would plasticware. You can't restack your plastic throwaway cups to save space, but you CAN restack your metal and ceramic dishware to carry it out as a compact unit in your plastic tote? I don't get the logic.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Stacking your throwaway plastic dishes and cutlery once dirty? Great idea, but never seen it. With disposable stuff you go in and come home with far more than if you use reusable.

[@JonasRosenven]

When shopping dinnerware like plates, cups, cutlery ect you can save a lot by avoiding the camping section and instead going to the dinnerware section in Walmart. That stuff is usually a dollar or less for some basic plastic ones that are light and don't break. Who wants to eat a steak on a paper plate using one of those flimsy disposable knives? I know I don't.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Great tip!

[@Davefacestation]

That stuff isn't really for actual camping, more for American camping where you're right next to your car.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Indeed, I believe I started out by saying this is for car camping situations as opposed to backpacking. But it's all camping and people like to camp in many different ways, all good.

[@Kristin-eb9zy]

Can you please define American camping? I've camped next to my vehicle, in my vehicle, traveled over water by canoe and kayak to camp and backpacked in to camp. All for multiple days. So what is American camping?

[@Davefacestation]

@@Kristin-eb9zy I thought this was pretty clear "where you're right next to your car."

[@Kristin-eb9zy]

@@Davefacestation so you think all Americans only camp next to their car and that does not happen in any other country?

[@Davefacestation]

@Kristin-eb9zy did I say that?

[@Wolverinemark]

Pause the video screenshot the list done

[@GeraldoMangela-m4z]

Podia ser traduzido para o português ok obrigada

[@danquigg8311]

NEED 2 burners, so ya can cook 2 things at the same time??? Don't buy the $190 2-burner stove, instead buy 2 single burners at $40 each & have $100 to spend on other goodies! More compact, too.

[@Echo22WC]

Plastics 🤮

[@harryroger1739]

Sell sell sell. Stuff that people don't need because you have to pay the rent. Go get a job.
