Please purchase a folding shovel/entrenching tool for future tent camping trips. In other words: Dig a hole, do your business, back fill the hole before you leave your camp site. Even a gardening trowel is better than nothing.

Funny, I was just getting ready to post the same. I will add, that you can also put it in a dissolving bag and take it home to bury.

@@19Photographer76 Back when I was younger, I backpacked a lot and found some really disgusting spots that other hikers/campers had simply walked away from without a thought. Being a country boy, I learned to carry a shovel on the tractor and at least one roll of TP when mowing/harvesting/plowing the "back forty". The Army simply reinforced that knowledge by issuing me an entrenching tool. When The Lovely Bride and I go on long trips that include primitive tent camping an entrenching tool goes with us.

I 've had an Ozark Trails instant tent for 10 years and love it over my other tents. Mine is a 6-person tent and I love that it has plenty of room for a cot, Adirondack chair, table, and all my gear. Be aware the seams will leak during a rainstorm so you may want to get some seam sealer for all the seams and waterproof spray for the rainfly despite the tent saying water resistant. I waterproofed mine after waking up in a puddle and it's still good all these years later. I also use a heavy-duty tarp underneath the tent to prevent damage to the floor and keep mud off the bottom of the tent. Extra tie-outs with real heavy duty tent stakes are also a good idea if you camp in windy areas. My tent took a good tumble in thunderstorm a few years ago, but I still have it because the extra stakes kept it from blowing away. FYI in my experience you will also want to carry a flat head screwdriver and paper clip with your tent gear to pry out the pop-out thingy in the tent legs as they sometimes get stuck in the tent leg or the spring goes sideways. Enjoy your new tent. Would love to see more tent camping videos!

What up Eric! Always nice to get a new video! I used to be an Eagle Scout and did a lot of camping and one of the best things you can do if you have room is bring a rake and clear the area where you put your tent! It really helps if you are just sleeping on the ground with a pad! You might could even find a small folding one to fit in the tracker! Glad to see you and the cats had a good time camping!

I found that if I’m sleeping on an air mattress, I will put a wool blanket or two underneath me while I sleep and it helps with the air mattress leaching cold up from the ground. It’s like a layer of insulation to help Keep you warmer even if you’re using a sleeping bag, it’s just something I learned from camping in tents over the last 20 years Being prior military I had access to military wool blankets but if you go to a surplus store that sells that kind of stuff you can usually pick them up fairly cheap and they make absolutely beautiful insulation to sleep on top of Even with your regular bedding, if you’re the type that likes to put sheets on your bed, put them under your sheets. It will help from sliding around and keeping your bedding on you…..I guarantee you, you’ll stay warmer. Another thing I learned was that if you can find a flannel duvet cover, you can use it like an envelope to hold several blankets inside of and make it as thick and heavy as you want and like. Makes a cozy AF sleeping situation and afterwards you really don’t have to worry about EVERYTHING getting dirty…. Just the flannel duvet cover…. And it all Folds /rolls everything up nicely ( like a bedroll )…. Glad you’re enjoying your alternative plans for your summer time!!

Hey Eric, I live in Colombia and those trackers are still everywhere here. I actually own a Chevy samurai because Chevy had the contract for awhile. It will last forever if you take care of them. They go where a lot of 4x4s can’t. They are used on coffee farms here because tractors can’t go that steep on mountains

Great videos. I loved camping with the kitties. If I lived by you, I would cut a hole in your tent and put a zipper on it so you could run a tunnel to their catio. Then they could do what they wanted, and you could leave some of their stuff out of the tent. Thank you for taking us along. Take care.

Reading comments about doing your business in the woods reminds me of a book that I bought called “how to poop in the woods,” Or maybe it was “shit in the woods. “ Anyway, it said dig a hole, but not too deep, because the microbes that break down the organic matter are in the upper surface. The book also had a lot of hilarious stories of various mishaps. I think everybody loves a good poopy story.

Eric, you've got to be careful picking up feathers off of the ground. If they are from certain migratory birds you can get in big trouble just for having them, regardless of how you got them. If they are turkey feathers like others have said you're probably OK. If they were from an eagle or a hawk not so much. Not trying to bust your chops just a little knowledge I've picked up along the way. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.
