I am a 74-year-old lady in GA who has wasted 3 years watching videos of weekend camping & wishing I had the courage to try it. Well now is my time. I’m going to try it next month before it’s too late. I have a 2018 Outback 3.6R and info, photos, maps, etc. + essential gear and simple, comfy setup with my rear seats down. I’d appreciate thoughts on one question- for overnight camping in my car, what’s my best safety measure if I feel threatened? Alarm system? Or other ideas? Thanks for any input and wish me luck!

Glad you mentioned safety. We had a 2017 Outback were running through a snowstorm where the semi behind us wasn't able to stop in time. We were hit on a back corner and pushed through another car that we ended up totaling. Nobody in our car had any injuries even with an impact hard enough to bust out our rear windshield. As a bonus we didn't break a single bottle in the cases of beer that were on that back corner.

First of all, thank you for your service as a firefighter. Your rig is beautiful and if I decide to buy another SUV it will be a Subaru. I've owned my 2016 Jeep Compass for almost four years. It was my 2017 birthday present from my wife. I love it and it's been a labor of love getting it set up for overland camping which I started doing this past summer. When I worked in the mountains of southern California, 40 to 45% of the vehicles on the mountain were Subaru.

[@forsakenovercast3081]

I have a '16 Outback that I drove across the country to CO. With the stock tires it handled really well in mountain conditions. Also pulled a small trailer - it was fair but then again it's not built for that specific need. Also - your music selection is superb in this video!

As a fellow 4 year owner of a 2015 Green outback limited I can concur with those validations. And as brother career FF I can also concur with the resounding resilience of their construction....

[@christinewells8209]

So lovely! I agree with the other comments, your approach to car camping combined with the scenery are so real and chill. I bought an Outback to use for camping as a solo female, for a safer option than my regular tent camping. I'm headed to the Blue Ridge mountains next weekend to test the camping equipment I've purchased. Thanks for the inspiration. I was hit by a drunk driver traveling full speed ahead, in my Impreza. The car was near totaled. I walked away and left for a vacation in Mexico the next day, with zero stiffness or pain. Love me some Subaru.

Great video thank you. I’ve been considering the outback for car camping.

Great viewing. Send this to Subaru, they should be signing you up as an ambassador.
