For car camping, I do some food prep at home. We clean out the frig/pantry and chop up all the veg (onion, carrot, zucchini, potato’s, garlic, leftover meats etc) season, add oil and triple wrap in aluminum foil for campfire cooking. Also corn on the cob. Iceberg lettuce works great as a sandwich wrap (1 small = 2 people, first day). Both of these assume you either have a cooler or cool weather. In the cooler I pre freeze mint water/lemonade in bottles/Tupperware. Serve as ice the first 1-2 days, then drinks.

More non perishable food: assemble nut trail mix at home in small baggies; same thing for dried fruits in abundance,(pineapple, banana chips, strawberries). I prefer several snack size baggies, rather than one larger bag. Blend up oatmeal and other dried cereal grains into powder in your blender, add dried fruits and hot water. Trader joes is a good shopping option, their pre packaged Indian and Asian meals are easily reheated. Great crackers and dips. Pita bread lasts well. Sometimes I individual wrap up bread/pastries so that they last longer. Avocado for guacamole, 1 lemon goes far, but even use instant lemonade in a pinch.
@RVAHikerGirl Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately I can't do a nut trail mix - food allergy. But I do other types of trail mixes with homemade chex mix and dried fruits. TJ's is one of my fav places to shop.

Tuna creations, crackers, hot dogs (block of ice and butter all in a cooler), condiment packets (that I've hoarded), and a loaf of bread are amazing and simple camping foods.

Hi Hiker Girl, greetings from the UK, The bottom edge of the folded down seats are (as you indicated) a little uncomfortable to lay on and can be often felt through the mattress. I overcame this problem in my vehicle with an idea that is cheap and easy to do. Basically, I took a length of old carpet, rolled it up and laid it across the bit where the seats met the back of my vehicle. I found that the carpet roll cushioned the hard edge quite well and I couldn't feel the hard lump in my back anymore. Hope you or someone finds this tip useful. Big hugs Xxx

@@RVAHikerGirl The mattress made to fill the entire space behind the driver & front passenger seat of your car is very nice for sleeping in the car where it's safe from bears if the hatch-back is closed & locked, although I would recommend dense foam instead of an air mattress for superior comfort.

I'm in love with the meat pouches! I usually put the BBQ in a tortilla with a cheese stick and a packet of mayo. The chicken salad I also put in a tortilla with bacon bits. Both of these are my backpacking favorites.

Hey long time? I went camping all huffed and puffed this last weekend in Sylvan Lake and guess what? My Halo 6 MARMOT tent blew away with cot and everything in it. So disappointed in the grounding stakes for this guy. Even the poles bended badly. I am in the market for a new tent! Good to see you enjoy!

So sorry to hear that but it actually happens a lot of ppl. I have a big bag of lot of different types of stakes for varying conditions. Some really long ones, ones you twist into sand, MSR groundhogs, some cheap, some more expensive ones. I was in a terrible thunderstorm 1 time at Kerr lake and thought sure my tent and all my equipment was going to blow across the lake with 50mph winds. I ran to the car for fear the tree limbs were gonna break above my head. I dont know how my tent survived after watching it look like it was collapsing numerous times. I even pulled my car up right alongside it to help try to block the winds. I guess I got lucky. ~RVA~

Aww SH77! TY so much! You should have tried out that self inflatable air mattress so you could test it out. It's like sleeping on a cloud. I hope you can get your wife to come out with you, I know that would make you a happy camper! ~RVA~

Just came back from our first trip with the Napier Tent we bought last winter. We spent almoat a week at Pictured Rocks in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We loved the tent. We slept in the car and used the body of the tent as our living room. It worked out fantastic!

Food items is always a big thing because you want to eat well . Less canned items the better . That is why I love your idea of the packaged meats and other packaged foods. Less room and easier cleanup. Here in Wisconsin we have open and conceal carry for firearms. One never knows, so that is something to consider as well. Water jugs. Stick to containers made for water and not just an empty milk jug. Toilet paper, yep, man or woman we are going to need that from time to time too. Basic first aid and any Rx's s and bug spray too if need be. I take my dog with on excursions so dog food, treats & leash or line. I always carry para cord in my Cherokee. Come in real handy, cloths line, whatever. My foster brother and I ran away at 14 we could "live off the land" 1972 went up in northern Wisconsin for a week or so... No oil to fry fish so we boiled it...need oil (: Lots to consider and so glad to watch your videos and see what you have going on. Keep them coming, the season approaches ! Stay safe...God Bless you.
