Ouch! The truth hurts...

That’s why he forgot messed his system remember last call was hour ago

We remembered the tent…..but not the poles for it ……on a rainy weekend in the Santa Cruz mountains…..duh……

Every time!

thats why i make the reservations.

Truth

Sounds a lot like a prayer if you think about it

@@vicenzostella1390 It is, as a person who's said it many times.

Well after having everything you do second guessed most of your life it starts to become habit to shut that shit down as soon as possible

We have a similar tradition, we ask "Where's it gonna go?!" And if you've got a friend or coworker worth their empties, they'll say "Effin NOWHERE!"

Yes! I felt like I was the only one to have this happen, but in all honesty I probably be the same way with my kids when I have them

This is the way.

I think your dad and my dad are identical…!

Same, car is packed night before and we leave at 6:15 on the dot.

Ah, a stressfree vacation with the family

I almost got the tough notes too

@@CharlieBerens yes you did, with that song you get extra points for knowing the right time to sing " just a small town girl"

@@randomcactus5615 😂. I just made a playlist and u know my jam was on there.

I'm a dad, and ALWAYS say the "Speak now, or forever hold your pee" line before we leave on vacations. It's mandatory.

@@sentinel7122 as it should be

I felt that. 🤣

How could you possibly forget the most important step. Tug on the strap, tap/slap the load and state with confidence "That's not going anywhere"

You're very lucky nothing happened. That cargo was there by sheer choice, could've left at any moment.

thank god you rememberd it wouldve been sooner later before thing started flying

@@chucksherron probably didn't slap it either 😬

Man you sound like the kind of guy who never taps his pocket to ensure his keys and phone are still there. Living in constant peril!

Camping in a Prius? That's impressive. At least you didn't bring an air mattress and forget the pump. Been there done that.

I can packaged week of clothes in 1 small suitcase. Yes, a change for everyday. Secret? Ranger rolling. Tbh, I suspect I can fit everything I own in a sedan. Working to whittle it down more...clutter drives me nuts, and mom is terrible about it

Maybe the solution to the bring-too-much problem is to assign the Tetris work to the worst offender. 😀

....and you can use the shop vac to get the dust and cobwebs up!

we have left our garage door open, our front door open, you name it.... 😂 thankfully we have great neighbors!!

Love it, I’m gonna try it, garage needs a good cleaning out🤣

Bless my neighbors. I was new in town and they chased me around town one day by phone tagging people because I left my front door open. Finally called the Sherrif who tracked me down. Nothin' like Midwest people. P.S. I live in Sacramento. It was just named the Midwest of California. (we Swedes get around, ya know 😉) Say, I've got some pie if any one of ya wants ta stop by. I'll make a fresh pot.

LOL moment though, hey? That's where I lost it.

Right? Never seen any beer in there

When we were first married, my husband used to tell me we were leaving an hour earlier than when he wanted to leave! :D After 32 years together, he has adjusted it to 30 minutes. :D

@@pthaloblue100 That would feel too much like lying for me to do. But I get the sentiment, and I wish I could pull it off.

Ahem. As a wife, I will say that since we do EVERYTHING else for EVERYONE ELSE, we can start packing at the departure time. Why? Because we laid in bed the night before me tally packing for the whole family, the dog, and then we gave up sleeping and cleaned the bathroom. Also put the mail, paper, and Amazon deliveries on hold. Also had to check on the parents. Also had to do our paying jobs. Also needed a pedicure, with or without polish, because we're ladies after all. And every Tums, Tylenol, and Tinactin for the foot itch that will come from all y'all wearing barefeet and flip flops. Oh and we have to BUY said flip flops for everyone. And new bathing suits and trunks for, u guessed it, everyone. Ive seen superheros do this feat pregnant. So ya, how about fudge the departure time and pull ur weight, and all the kids? I'm not hateful, just never going camping with my family again. 😀

@@pthaloblue100 mine won't lie, so I had to convince him to just start two hours earlier and not give me a time out the door. If he doesn't help change the laundry, at least rinse the dishes, and get everything we need out to the vehicle. I'm not going to be ready.

@@JNMKlover that is certainly not universal. I have generally been the one who has packed everything shared, as well as for myself and our son. While continuing to work for my paid job as well. Especially for camping trips I would not expect my wife to pack up for anyone except herself because she did not have any experience with camping until her late 30's.

thanks for noticing Morgan

@@CharlieBerens gotta give credit where credit is due 😂👍

I got tired watching him!!! 😂

He's a Packers fan. It's in his blood

@@tomrogue13😆

Stuff made here made some!

Hahaha

Hard to beat what you have though

THat's just so evil it might work ...

He at least needs the all-terrain Crocs!

My dad said this all time. There were lots of really sketchy loads,but I don't remember anything ever going "anywhere". R.I.P.,dad.

Ratchet straps r harder to work with then I remembered. My finger got caught. It's not for me.

“speak now or forever hold your pee..ace” 🤣

The lesson? Don't forget the duct tape.

We all let my sister's husband pack. 😄 I'll swear there's nothing that man can't get into the trunk for vacation time! 😅

RIP Woody the Woodcock

My dad would have been like, scoot over son, and joined me in the “indecent” activities. Classic dad, classic father son bonding

It's what makes a successful Charlie

Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. 🤣

blow up the sleeping matts, my question is wheres the drill.

@@cheryliverson6327 Probably got packed into the tent bag to save space

Reading thru the comments I was beginning to think I was the only one that noticed the shop vac! I'm gonna assume he reverses it and uses it as a fan when wifey gets hot cause that's what I would do.........provided I had remembered to bring the generator...

​@@chucksherron spoken like a man of experience!😆

Only a bit related. Was on the highway, halfway home from school, doing the speed limit, and for a heart stopping moment thought "did I forget my car keys?"

​@@birdandcatlover5597 oh Lord! 😄 I'm still trying to put an invisible key into the nonexistent ignition slot on my new Volvo! For Cripes sake!

That's pretty impressive.

Watch your language. This is a family channel.

I hope they hit a deer.

@@DickDousche I was going to say, 'probably hit a deer'. But a MOOSE is end game.

Can't help miserable people, don't cha know 😋

i saw at least 30 deer up north this year and caught a mess of fish… my kids dad… 1

I went through a decade of bringing EVERYTHING, so I forgot nothing. Turns out, I only needed to go with friends that had a brand new fifth wheel to keep the cutting boards, stereo and toilet paper nice.

Hey, everybody’s wood is a little bit different and that ok.

love ya back Emalie

@@CharlieBerens I live in Wisconsin and your videos are a joy! Keep em coming!

But it built character

​@@Sashazur you betcha 😆😆

best time to see a divorce lawyer

Calvin's dad has spoken.

watch for deer!

@@CharlieBerens I’ll try on my way to work, at the Mills Fleet Farm!

Don’t forget the flipping on of the hall light when they open your door. Your eyes are peeled open by the intrusive light & you’re blinded. Thanks dad.

I hope you remembered your tent

@@CharlieBerens if not there's always duck tape and sticks

Let me guess, you intend to NOT check your stuff
