Check out our new Amazon shop for all our favorite gear! 🏕️😃👇🏽 amazon.com/shop/wherewewild Thanks for watching, and don’t forget to hit subscribe! We have a lot more videos you might enjoy. 😊🤙🏽 Ps: For the record I’m well aware that I did the majority of the talking in this particular video, lol for many many reasons. The biggest of which was people starting to show up and being too loud for us to shoot in this location. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 So if it seems like I just don’t let Jaime talk that is not the case as you will find in other videos of ours, but this one had a lot to cover FAST, and so I had to go straight to LUDICROUS SPEED. (Gasp!) 😳 “Sir we’ve never gone that fast before, idk if the ship can take it!” What’s the matter Colonel Sandurz! Chicken!? “PREPARE SHIP FOR LUDICROUS SPEED! Sir you better buckle up!” Ahhhh buckle this! 😂😂😂😂 Lol if you know the movie I just quoted from you’re automatically in my cool book. 👊🏽😎

We were 'glamping' and nomads before we knew 😳 it was a thing! 😂😂😂 House burned so son and i, with dog & a cat hit the road in a car. Thankfully had a Natl Park pass. We hit thrift stores and picked up all kinds of camp gear along oyr travels. We even picked up a couple hugh canvas tents along the way. Rain, snow and extreme heat - we were comfy and had a great time. My son is now in his 40s and still camps & backpacks. He was a couple weeks old his 1st camp trip. He did same with his daughter. Have fun everyone. The easiest way to camp is don't worry about how others camp & glamp - just do it & enjoy the experiences! ☺

Great video. We are a family of 8 who love to camp. I hate bins though. I’ve learned a large plastic Sterilite drawer system works better. In the top drawer, we keep our kitchen stuff, the middle drawer is misc (like meds, bug spray, clothes lines, lights, etc). Our bottom drawer is 8 each of water shoes, swimsuits, and quick drying towels. When we arrive at our campsite, we just take out each drawer, pick up the whole system, move it close to the picnic table, and put the drawers back in. I can then prep food on the top on a cutting board like a counter. All my kitchen stuff is within each reach underneath. Whenever we leave our site, we just pick it up and load it back into our trunk. No rummaging for things at the bottom of a bin. We’ve camped across the country and this has been the best system for having a new campsite every few days.

@nicolemyers4584 Жыл бұрын

We also learned that a 12 person tent does not work. Way too big for the footprint of national parks. At 8 people, you move to two 6 people tents. No one wants to try to fall asleep while 7 others roll around on vinyl. Just advice for other large families out there.

Hey thanks! 😃 And nice that’s awesome whatever works for us can’t be wrong! 😎🤙🏽 And yeah we usually use our 6 person tent, gives us plenty of room and still fits in the site. 👊🏽

@mrjeff2396 11 ай бұрын

An absolute must include, for me, is a roll of duct tape! (broken bones, large bleeding wounds, etc) I do advise against using it directly on skin . Instead use a section of the duct tape and sticky to sticky then wrap around as needed! You get a tight wrap with the tape actually adhering to itself rather than skin! Simply pull out the length necessary and double it back on itself as needed. Also, Fire starter: cotton balls with a touch of Vaseline (kept in a ziplock baggie) and flint and steel!

@WhereWeWild 11 ай бұрын

Nice… Oh yeah duct tape is always useful! 😁🤙🏽 Cotton and vaseline definitely works. I just prefer the dryer lint cause it’s just free, not messy at all, works great 🤷🏻‍♂️😊 So many things you can use for fire starter it’s fun to experiment. 😊 Thanks for the comment!

Be careful about sleeping bag ratings. If there is one number it’s the survival rating, not comfort rating. There’s a big difference.

Yes frozen meals are the way to go 100%. You can even get inspiration from "dump meal" style things. Typically people pack the meals in gallon freezer bags and put them in crock pot or pressure cooker, but you can simmer them in a pot just as well.

Love my cot and self inflating sleeping pad. Can place all my stuff under the cot which keeps the area organized. I have an 8 person tent with over 6 foot height. Can put zero gravity chair and table in the cot as well as potty.LUCI LIGHTS ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Also new toy is Portable Propane Gas Fire Pit which I saw someone had at a campground. Can put that under the canopy when the weather is crappy. Thermacel for mosquito repellent. Not cheap but effective.

Great tip about where the zipper is located on your sleeping bag. I honestly didn't know you could get sleeping bags with zippers on different sides. I always thought the zipper was in the same place for all sleeping bags. Learned something new today. A fire starter trick that I like to use is petroleum jelly and cotton balls. I usually take a zipper bag, put a blob of petroleum jelly in the bag, and then throw in some cotton balls. I then just "massage" the bag coating the cotton balls. A little petroleum jelly will coat a lot of cotton balls. My #1 must-have in my first aid kit is burn cream (a really GOOD burn cream). Burn cream saved my arm and camping trip one time and I won't camp without it.

Yes!!! Burn cream is a must. My 6yo put his hand on the cooking grate as it was cooling. I brought a first aid kit and we were able to "ice" and bandage his blisters at a remote location. 😢 The next year I sliced open my finger while washing dishes in the basin. Ugh! So awful. Always carry a first aid kit with basic tools/equipment even if you have to make your own.

A lot depends on how and where you are camping. In a state or national camping area with restrooms, picnic tables, fire rings and a grill, you may not need some of the items mentioned. When back packing, many items mentioned are impossible to carry. However, two items not mentioned is a tarp to put UNDER the tent. Possibly another tarp to string up to have shade or help protect the tent itself. The other thing is a firearm. I don't care what anyone thinks, there are a lot of dangerous animals out there and the most dangerous of all is other people.

A lot of people bring very small tents. I do a lot of backpacking and my backpacking tents are not the same as my car camping tents. I like my 8-person tent for car camping, even when camping alone. I use a queen size inflatable mattress. Full comfort for the car camping. For the price of a week in a budget hotel, you can get set up with gear that will last for decades. After that, your adventures cost 5 to 20 bucks per day for accommodations. Campgrounds have showers, flush toilets, and everything you need. A week long vacation for 100 bucks. Even less if you go to state or blm land that costs nothing. If you have the right gear it is extremely comfortable. Taking some of the younger grandkids next week to a state park that has showers and flush toilets. 12 bucks per night, peak season cost.

Absolutely correct about tent size. A four person tent provides enough space to cram four people inside to sleep, but provides little else. If you encounter great weather throughout your trip, sleeping is all you might use your tent for. However, if the weather turns bad and it pours rain for 16 hours, four people in a four person tent is not going to be fun. Always nice to have the extra space for comfortably changing clothes, especially if swimming is on your agenda, and there's always things that you need to store and keep dry.

For those who don’t know. What tents call a person is the space for just under 6 foot by 20-22 inches wide. Recently with the addition of the 25” sleeping pads some tents have made it for 25 inches as opposed to 20-22…. And there is no extra room. So if you are car camping you can go nuts with the size. I have a hammock, a trekking pole single, a self standing single & double and a six person tent. Which do you think I take car camping???

Usually out here by us each campsite at actually campgrounds come with a bear box to put your food and cooler. If you’re backpacking or on blm land or whatever you kind of have to be more creative and just do what you can. Bear containers, hanging stuff from trees, I guess your car is better than nothing sometimes but you have to be careful because we’ve seen bears rip cars apart to get at food. Depends on your environment too, if there aren’t any bears you don’t have to worry as much haha

Bugs in your light. I hate that, most of all, in your headlamp!! Now it's not fool proof, but it helps. Yellow Saran wrap. 2, 3 or 4 warps "depending how bright your light is" around your "battery" operated lamp or headlamp and it will help to minimize the bugs.

Coffee is definitely a must-have while camping. We moved from using a french press to the aeropress - very fast, great coffee, and practically no cleanup other than a quick rinse! Not to mention lightweight and not easily broken. Have you given that a try?

Pray the campgrounds have clean bathrooms! 🙏🏽😃😂 That’s never the case is it, would be sweet though! Hahaha it all depends on the situation and how far out there you are. Backpacking it’s basically just bringing your little shovel to dig a small hole and burry it, and not leave any garage like your toilet paper behind. Bagging it and getting it to a garbage can. Definitely not fun haha but that’s the game. Always try to leave no trace. A clever way at say a car camping campground with no bathroom available is to bring a bucket, line it with a garbage bag, and cut open a pool noodle to form around the rim of the bucket for comfort. You can even put that into a camp shower or changing tent for more privacy. 🤙🏽
