HEAVY RAIN Car Camping with my DOG - could this be the ultimate shelter?

Рет қаралды 6,979

4 күн бұрын

Car camping in a heavy downpour of rain. I head out overnight, with my dog Indi, to test out my newly purchased DoD Outdoors Base Camp Awning Tent - Light. Setting up on my own in heavy rain was challenging but once the shelter was up I had an incredibly cosy space in which to enjoy the sound of the rain on the tent. I camped overnight listening to the rain on the roof of the car. On this trip I take the opportunity to go on a small hike up a nearby hill to enjoy the peacefulness of the sunset during a break in the rain.
I love hearing from my viewers so please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you enjoyed about the video.
Thanks
Cathy (and Indi)

Thanks Deb. Sounds like you can't get enough of NZ, ha ha. We are lucky as Kiwi's and Aussies that we can just pop across the ditch for a taste of each other's paradise. I've done a few trips to Aussie and love it there.

@chrislonsberry1974 2 күн бұрын

I know the weather was bad and the ground was not ideal for pegging but, and I’m sorry, I had to chuckle that the tent was not cooperating with you. My experience with new tents is it always seems the manufacturer doesn’t supply big enough stakes or enough stakes to get the tent set up really well. Indi was certainly at home on her bed in the car. You even putting your mat on top of her wasn’t going to bother her. Enjoyed the video Cathy!

Your videos just keep getting better and better, Cathy! Your expressions were absolutely hilarious as the tent wasn't co-operating during set-up. It's clear you've become more and more comfortable in front of the camera, and your delightful personality is shining through. You were so funny, and I was laughing with you as you struggled. That's not to dismiss the fact that you're a warrior camper, a problem solver, and a dog-lover. I want to mention too that I appreciate the fact you give us the jist of your food prep and cooking. So many camping videos I've seen spend sooo much time showing every slice of every radish...onion...pepper...you get my drift. And yet your finished product always looks delicious! Thanks for another wonderful adventure!

@gmsinding1766 2 күн бұрын

good vid. dunno about that set up though, I have a side awning and its alot quicker and easier to put up, then just strap your side walls on. I use a stretcher under it, it doesnt matter about water on the ground which is a great thing. Every1 is different though. thats whats good about camping you learn new stuff all the time.

@adventureot 2 күн бұрын

I think a side awning would be lovely and as you say much quicker to put up. I didn't mention it in the video, but personally I am also after something I can drive in and out of and leave up, so if I am bothered by anyone in the night I can reassure myself that I could just drive off. It might sound silly or unnecessary to some but as you say the great thing is that everyone is different in their needs and wants and that makes life all the more interesting.

@thewatchman6074 Күн бұрын

The problem with camping in forestry road lay-by's is that they have been compacted by a bulldozer, so the rain has trouble permeating away. It tends to pool first and gradually sink in, whereas on a grass camp site, the water should just goes to ground right away, leaving your inner tent dry.

@adventureot 6 сағат бұрын

Yes so true. And even though this area is not a forestry site, this particular spot is on a rocky river terrace which meant the water ran off and pooled a bit more than some of the surrounding area.

Hi Cathy. That is my sister’s name and I always recall when we went tent camping at Cade’s Cove in TN many years ago. We were surrounded by RV’s that had their engines running all night. Your set up is MUCH more inviting. Two questions: 1. What would be your dream vehicle and 2. What was in that very artistic looking salad? Thanks for all you do!

Thank you so much for the support Louise. Question 1 is hard to answer, question 2 a lot easier. There is roasts cabbage, chopped raw kale, red onion, mint, parsley, roasted butternut pumpkin, and sesame seeds, with adressing of hummus, pomegranate mollases, sumac, olive oil, lime juice and salt and pepper.

Plus cooking and showing eating nice food and really enjoying it the the other camping men tend to do. I’m sure it’s what gets them a lot of views 😅 Keep up the good work ❤❤❤
