We're going GLAMPING for the first time! Costco, Five Below, and Academy Sports CAMPING GEAR!

[@celenanelson2927]

You might want a tarp to go under your tent to protect it 🙂

[@brenballance3469]

Few tips: Someone mentioned tarp for under tent - this is a must! Also take with you duct tape for repairs, rope for securing tent if storm, extra tent stakes, small camp axe for firewood, first aid kit, lighters, fly swatter, scissors, and firepit forks. For the kids take bubbles, glow bracelets/necklaces and card or games for in the tent play or if rain. Have a great time!

[@InDes10]

Agreed!!!!

[@MarriageMotherhood]

Thank you! Just added these items to the excel spreadsheet

[@DontPlayWithMePlayWithYaMama]

@@MarriageMotherhood LOL! NOT THE SPREADSHEET! 😂😂😂 I LOVE IT.

[@laylarussell5575]

All the above are great, also Rosemary in your fire will repel mosquitoes, peppermint oil spray inside your tent and bedding will repel spiders. Headlamps are great for hands-free lighting. Take body wipes and a hand fan with a sprayer to keep you cool. Take a good pocket knife because there will always be things to cut/open/etc. A good first aid kit is a must with additional meds for pain, stomach, heartburn, bug bites, nausea, etc. Last, you will sweat a lot so take propel powder packs to add to your water. Getting sick from dehydration will ruin a vacation really quickly.

[@thetravelouscrew]

My family loves tent glamping! You definitely have everything

[@jillsutherland7442]

Quick thought sis. You may want to purchase a porta potty and shower tent to cover it; for those emergency late night bathroom runs. Depending on how far away you are, somebody might not make it.😊😱😊

[@stephaniejackson3021]

When my family used to camp on tents we used to put a tarp under our tent. It protects the floor of your tent from stones and wet grass etc. Also, we used to put a tarp over top of our tent from protection from rain. Even though our tents were water proof. Also when you guys return from camping before you store your tent away you should set it up and let it air out before storage.

[@amandasilvis448]

We camp almost every year. Get a push vacuum that’s battery powered for the tent area. No matter how much you try you get dirt in it. I have one of the shark ones from Walmart on a stick that charges. Best thing ever.

[@joleewatts1514]

Love camping girl but we always go primitive camping with no bath houses or electric..can be challenging at times but if ur kids r not too small it's quite a learning adventure for them ..but my hubby always says I take too much stuff but really appreciates it when what I bring comes in handy..I camped at parks as a kid and even stayed at a beach campground as well and I did enjoy the convince of it but as I'm older now and like the peacefulness of nature over all the people I do prefer the more secluded primitive style .hope yall have a blast and I know ur girls are gonna love the trip..

[@danielleseymone]

Tell me you’re excited about going camping without telling me you’re excited about going camping 😂😂 sis you being so excited is making me excited lol

[@MarriageMotherhood]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tracytuten5116]

My husband and I have our own queen size air mattresses so I don't have to worry about the waterbed feeling everytime one of us moves. We don't feel the need to sleep together when camping. Great camping chairs are a wonderful investment, we have 2 Coleman chairs we've had for 12 years and they go camping with us, beach trips, sporting events. Worth every penny.

[@NitRaSit]

Citronella essential oil. Repels insects smells great all natural to use all day and night. Place on cotton balls for inside tent. Add to body lotion and use liberally

[@theresas709]

I have never seen anyone buy so much to go camping. You will spend most of your first and last day setting up and taking down everything. Have fun :) I love camping but haven't done it in some years.

[@christinadates5018]

Try a citronella plant..those work too.

[@blkdiamond1121]

Camping is so much fun make a packing video, or a food prep video that would be nice.

[@dharma6481]

If your camping site has trees, bring along a hammock or two (plus tree straps to safely hang them). The girls will love them and they give adults a relaxing nap space - outside the tent!

[@areldia225]

Make sure you bring a large vinegar for sanitizing loads of toilet paper instead of pj's for the girls big tee shirts and leggings it may get cold. Early mornings

[@marniefaith9176]

Yesssss! Dropped the phone trying to start this video. Jia’s going glamping! I have never been camping or glamping so going to live through you on this one. Yes I think I would have just rented an RV and called it a day! I am here for ALL the camping with Jia and Charles and the girls...can wait to see his expressions when she set us the camping mansion. Love this!!!!

[@heatherkesner8096]

Glow stick bracelets to put around tent stakes to avoid tripping over at night

[@dsblair1167]

Here's my idea, get a room at a state park lodge and go hiking , swimming and fishing during the day.

[@terryalthea1540]

I feel like that would have been cheaper. Jia bought a whole room to go glamping!

[@KMMP76]

Exactly 💯

[@nadiarealalat4326]

Yes! We did that and I loved it, 89 dollars a day! Worth every penny! Full kitchen coffee maker fridge pots pans. Two bathrooms two rooms, fireplace, outdoor grill tables, and firepit. Access to fishing and swimming! Chefs kiss

[@teressathomas956]

I can not wait for the next vlog about your camping trip

[@lindagarner1320]

I used to bring 2 dollar store rugs, one to put our shoes in in the tent and the other outside of the tent to wipe our feet. I also had a small broom and dustpan to sweep out the tent. Those are great flashlights. I think you are going to need a Uhaul to take everything. If you are having a campfire, telescoping forks are great for roasting marshmallows. I hope you are going to show your kitchen items. 🏕

[@TheTechofTech]

So glad to see such a happy, positive person find success on KZbin!!!

[@terraspickerman1807]

We camp yearly in the PNW and you are speaking my language with the glamping vibes! We always book at the KOA which provides a lot of amenities on site but if that’s not an option where you’re at my suggestions are have lots of storage bins to keep things separate, easy to find and easy to store ie; cooking, food prep, cleaning, etc. Arctic Cove fans are amazing for hot dry days!!!! Having a mat outside the entrance to your tent is essential to ensuring dirt isn’t track into the tent and everyone can easily find their flip flops outside the door. Hand a lantern in the center of your tent to illuminate all the corners. Buy some chilly towels for hot days/hours. Do outdoor activities early in the day to beat the heat if water isn’t near by. Find a cheap clothes line to hang wet clothes and towels to air dry and get some food covers to put over food that’s sitting out. Waterprooof cards, dice, dominos are fun games. Hope you all have the best time and make camping a new tradition in your family!

[@45mechelle]

If I ever decide to go camping, I am going with you! 😂😂😂

[@shandrarogers6185]

My $0.02 - Tarp under the tent. I use moving blankets on the floor along with throw rugs to make it softer to walk on. Foldable wooden TV tray at a nightstand. I take collapsible bins for dry food so I can fold it when not in use/on way back home.

[@KnittyT]

Your kids will have a good time! We are cabin glampers and love it. I live for drinking my coffee outside, and taking long walks with my hubby. It's a lot of work, but so worth it! Oh yeah, I'm a spreadsheet girl too.

[@heatherkesner8096]

We spread a tarp on the ground to put our tent on top of. Just helps keep the bottom clean. A little extra layer from gravel.

[@dzz1080]

Hints for your trip: 1) Have enough tarps to lay down as a ground cover for your tent to sit on. This will protect your tent floor from anything puncturing it. 2) There are foam flooring tiles that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. They are usually used on garage floors or on gym/work out floors. They go on sale frequently at Big 5 sporting goods if that is in your area. I believe I've seen them at Costco as well. Everyone I've talked to that use them on their tent floor raves about them. Easy to pop out and clean if need be. 3) Consider getting a sun sail to create shade if your area doesn't have any. Again hoping you have a great time and take s'mores fixings for the kiddos 😊

[@kayknight7477]

I truly enjoyed this video. I was really laughing. This camping trip will be super cozy ❤️

[@jkt0924]

Love camping !! Taco in a bag is a favorite! Brown your ground Turkey or Beef, add taco seasoning, use individual bags of Doritos or corn chips, add meat, fixings, stir up...eat from the bag, no plates to clean up and super yummy! Have so much fun! I'm with you. ..I go no where without a fan or a/c!

[@chickiegirl127]

[@angeljoyner5222]

I love camping, and it does get chilly sometimes at night even in the summer. You'll love it

[@wwinny669]

Girl I was the same way when I was den mother for my son's cub scouts. I had a double queen size air mattress, a generator, a portable toilet, lounge chairs, a screened house for me us to eat in and so much more. You might want to get a rug for under your tent so that the bottom of your tent is not wet from moisture. We camped at Yargo Park in Winder, Ga. My co-workers were like that is not real camping. I needed to be comfortable since I had to be around a bunch of 8 year old children. We had a good time. We did it for a few years and then upgraded to Yurts which was even better.

[@nikab8309]

Mosquitios love me also. Permethrin is a must. I pretreat all of our clothes. It stays treated for up to 6 washes. You many not want a portable toilet and privacy stall, but I think they are awesome also

[@michellehe2041]

Take that OFF bug spray back to Costco! Get sawyers permethrin. It's the best. They have the clothing spray and spray your clothes before you go. They also have the spray for your skin. It's sold at Walmart and Target. I used it in Costa Rica and it worked well.

[@poops-r-us5971]

I need more of you!!! This video was a joy to watch and I laughed throughout your glamping preparation. Im like you and hate to be hot or cold so please no need to feel judged. Keep the videos coming and thank you soooo much for sharing.

[@brookemitchell8962]

Girl you are to much and I love every second of it!!! The girls are going to have great memories of this camping trip!!!!

[@michaelboyle4119]

In your first video you showed your kitchen . We use a propane tank for our grill and hose to our stove instead of those little bottles . It's cheaper and last alot longer . When it runs out just refill or swap it out . Takes up some room but might be cheaper .

[@nicolehudspeth3658]

We always did a mat outside our tent to take our shoes off there so no trash got inside our tent. And we like to string rope lights outside the tent for a bit of mood lighting outside.

[@Patriotgranny]

Handy Camping Prep Tip: cook & freeze as much food as possible ahead of time. ie....Chili, Taco Meat, Spaghetti Meat Sauce, Stew, etc. It’s so nice to just defrost & heat on your camp stove.

[@kathleenkaufman6007]

Lay a tarp down and pitch the tent on the tarp. Flip flops needed for showering. Zip loc bags for anything that might get damp. Need rug in front of the door to the tent. Get a box fan to use outside, try to hang it somehow how to create a breeze. NO PHONE!!!! *giggle*

[@DearDebt]

Yesss I love this! Camping is so fun. I can’t wait to hear about it after your trip. I’m sure your girls are going to have the best time!!!

[@elwiramytys8974]

Thermacell works better if you start it before mosquitoes come out in the evening to keep them away not get rid off them if it makes sense. Tarp under the tent is a must on gravel. Extra tarp with stakes and guide lines for the top unless you already tested your tent / canopy in heavy rain. Good rug for the entrance. Small broom. Line to hang towels, wet clothing. Plenty of garbage bags ( good to wrap extra messy stuff before leaving) . Large water jug with a spout makes refilling bottles and doing dishes easier right in your kitchen area.

[@amhillier1]

As someone who has long suffered from horrible reactions to mosquito bites, deet is absolutely necessary, a necessary evil. But I would recommend also trying lavender and/or peppermint oil, as I have friends that that works exceptionally well for. Maybe try the natural remedy before you go camping to find out if it’s effective or not? I very much enjoy your videos, thank you for posting such great content.

[@1800kristi]

[@whenlifechanges]

We camp every year instead of going on a “hotel-trip”. It’s less expensive in the long run. My husband and I love being outdoors and the campground we go to most 9 times out of 10 is safe and clean. Outdoor church services weekly, disc golf, an arcade, basketball, volleyball, a pond for fishing, a short drive away from a river where we can tube and swim. And it’s just a 10-15 minute drive from town. Camping is expensive the first couple of trips, but once we got our system down, we camp for less than $500 for 7+ days with groceries and toiletries included. Camping is definitely the way to go! Also! Get a tarp to go UNDER the tent to cut down on wear and tear on the tent floor! It’s a life saver!!!

[@inflipflops]

I don’t really like go camping, but listening to you made me feel excited about yours. Can’t wait to see your post!

"I'm so bougie y'all" I lost it. 😂You aren't kidding with the glamping. Hope you all have a blast.

[@deniseyoung5385]

I’m the same way with mosquitoes… highly allergic and they absolutely target me like crazy. I have heard that if you have type O blood or carry the type O gene, they will go after you more because they need a protein in type O blood to be able to lay eggs. Regardless, I have been to the ER twice from allergic reactions to getting attacked by mosquito swarms. I literally had welts covering my entire body. One of those times was from a beach camping trip, and yes, absolutely ruined my trip. Since then, I use all the mosquito spray and I love the Off fans. You put a little pad in them that you refill and they run on batteries, so I use one by my bed and even at home because in summer they come in the house when the family is in and out the door constantly. I keep one on or near me when I’m outside, too, but leave one running inside my tent so they don’t come in when I’m going in and out of my tent. One by the door, one by the bed, and one on me. 😂 Maybe that’s a little much, but I don’t get bit that way and it’s so much better than ending up in the ER getting steroid shots and super Benedryl. I’m a Glamper, too. Definitely not sorry. It’s better to bring too much and be comfy and prepared than to be miserable and not enjoy it. And yes, you’re right about the investment. Buy it once and if you get quality and take care of it, it will last you many more trips.

[@urika01]

Yall gone have a comfortable time..I can't wait to see the setup!!! I need to do it like yall

[@cookingmyway854]

This was so satisfying! When we camp everyone makes fun of me and my fans. I’m a sweater too, and can’t stand to sweat. I always have sweat on my forehead. Embarrassing and I hate it. Why be uncomfortable if u can have things to make your experience better!!! Bring a hammock! Not only can you use it at home or at the park you can use it to camp with!!! I also love my zero gravity chair and my rocking captains chair. Those two were the best investments. Especially since your doing moving night. You can get more comfortable with the zero gravity.
