Thanks for this. Very concise and easy to follow. Thanks for listing also the items and links. Going camping for the first time next month !!
Hey! Do you have a video breakdown of your med kit?

What brands are your sleeping bags?
Just stumbled on your videos – they’re great! Quick, useful, and fun 🙂
We camp with 3-5 kids depending on the week, they’re all little so we all share a tent right now.
Just found your channel, love it 😊😊😊❤
if you’re going to car camp you should have a few luxury items car camp in style since weight is not an issue
thank. The video is great.I go camping by car.I’ll be back.
One pillow? If your are car camping I’d bring two or three🤗 but that’s just me. Video thank you I just subscribe to your channel too, I think it’s a good one.
What National Forest did you go to? It looks really beautiful!
You can try the solar camping table if you have the opportunity
This has a lot of good info. I’m camping at a campground in a local state park next month and will have an electrical set up, so I’ll be eating using my itakipot- but that won’t work if I start going camping with more people.
Hey! I loved the video! It’s so informative! I added it to the latest article on my blog. Feel free to check it out.
Lantern moment was the reason I subscribed lol
Great video! I also make outdoors videos for beginners for anyone interested. Cheers
Exped Megamats are the very best for car camping. We own three single mats and a double.
May I suggest getting a fleece blanket that zips up like a sleeping bag. When it’s warm or hot out they will keep you plenty warm. Used as a liner for your main sleeping bag it will roast you out. For lighting I like to use a propane lantern, throws plenty of light around your site. Also runs a single burner stove. Finally, I’ve been tent/car camping for over 50 years now and probably have enough equipment to outfit a whole company. There’s a real art to bringing only what you’ll need.
this is so cool
I’m alone in my living room watching this and literally went "yessssss" out loud when you said "Exped" just because they’re so good and I love mine so much!!
I really enjoy your humor! 😀
OMYGOSH LOVE THIS & YOUR CHANNEL! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Wow this is awesome!!
Great ideas! I’ve only been Glamping a few times with my family and friends. And I’m still learning. So thanks for sharing your amazing tips! I especially love using headlamps too! But I would like to suggest that if you’re packing oral or IV meds (and makeup), they should be kept cool inside an insulated bag or cooler…separate from food if possible. Also if only 2 people are going to be in a larger tent or cube for more wiggle room and gear it can get a little cold even on Summer nights. So sleeping in a sleeping bag on an air mattress inside a smaller tent placed within the larger tent or cube will help keep you relatively warmer. This hack also comes in handy for when there is a long power outage at home. Of course spraying and sealing the outer tent will keep you dry. But just in case of an unexpected leak, sleeping inside of the little tent within your larger tent or cube will help keep you dry. This works best for car camping.😉👍
I am not that smart. I am 62 and have a "cargo" trailer loaded full of gear. When I go I am out for the 14 day limit.
Was that a whoppy cushion? 😂 like the things that makes farts (the thing to fill up the mattress)
Propane stove..? We always put a pot or pan onto our campfire 😂
I don’t think these videos are for me!! Thanks though, it’s probably a great video for someone just starting out!
My husband said if I wanted an air matress I had to hand pump it. The battery operated pump is smaller but it’s worth it
My boyfriend And I are going camping, I’ve been going camping all my life for almost all summer, every summer. And I mean camping, not camp sites, we’d go deep into the woods for months where no one could bother us, so fun!!
It’s going to be my boyfriend’s first time camping.
I bought the 2 of us a 6 person tent. I’ve never, EVER been in a tent the size you’re in.
For 6 of us my family got a tent that would have fit 3-4 queen mattresses 😳
Didn’t know tents were even made this small until buying one for myself this year!
Anyways, I’m excited to show off my camping skills, since he’s a city boy and I grew up on a farm and camping all my life 😂😏
This video is extremely informative and entertaining! 🙌🏻
What about safety-wise? If your going solo camping and want protection against animals, or other…
I don’t know why but your tent reminds me of narnia
Cool party light 🤪
7:17 😂😂
Thanks for the info! Love your videos!
What’s in your med kit?
Honest question…. Why do so many of your videos say car camping in the title but you camp in a tent?
Would those sleeping pads be comfortable enough for in a car? I’m gonna be building a platform in my car and seelping in my car as I road trip America.
I got a 6 person tent with a 6′ roof for myself and a plus one. No more mini tents.
Party site over here!! Hahaha love it
What sleeping bag you use?
Loved the light part with the dancing and when you couldn’t find the setting, I laughed too loud at my desk, everyone thought I was nuts. Helpful video !
If you are car camping you can take a tent you can stand up in. Why take a backpacking tent car camping. Utter nonsense!!!!
Nice channel Amanda and the way you present things, simple and easy not too complicated. Can you talk about lights? Lanterns.
Mummy bag also works as a birth control device while in those cozy tents
Great videos new to the channel… Love it you guys be safe.👍
7:14 – 7:44 LOL. I love this part so much.
Love your videos. Thank you!!!! Now it’s convincing the other half to go camping ha.
Thanks for watching! ⛺️ I wanted this list to be simple and hopefully not overwhelming, so you can spend less time packing, and more time camping! I hope it’s helpful 😁
I’m sure those chairs are comfortable but those chairs do not look comfortable.
