Essential Gear You Need to Start Car Camping | Outside

What sandals r those

HOW COME YOU HAVENT GOT THE KITCHEN SINK

I don’t put anything in a bin, they are a waste of space. As he said, he has plenty of it, I don’t. I put everything in bags and stuff sacks. They can be squeezed into tight places, bins can’t and any air space in the bin is taking up unnecessary space.

I would love to see more people using firepans instead of building fire rings with rocks that get really messy. What I use is cheap, lightweight and easy to pack. check out my vids.

I have two kids and two dogs that stay in the tent at night. My list is just a little bigger. Haha

What is this "outside" place everyone keeps talking about?

I thought “car camping” was camping inside the car. Surely this is just “camping” ?

What size are those totes

So your camping? And your car is camping? But you don’t even give your car a tent or a sleeping bag. Should we call someone?

You sound just like Pete Buttigieg.

Thanks. I love that tent. It looks easy to put up.

I loved how organized you are...I will definitely buy those bins.

I'm wondering, if you read an Atomic Habits by James cleare? ;D

Thank you for this video, its a good start up.

Hi Lena... It's Jeeim ;)

Please lose the music

Dang, people take way too much shit camping

This video is very helpful thank you for sharing. I love to have a camping like

i once went camping and forgot my sleeping bag!

Lesson learned! always bring plastic bins on camping :)

Nice tent great info.

No to big tents. Do some yoga and be comfortable sitting lying on the ground. Not a big deal.

Very good organization.

Thank you Alex Honnold!

Great video! :-) I am exclusively a car camper (though also exclusively dispersed; I like the adventure!); I find a spot, stop, stake & stay. I, like you, am precious about my tentspace; I have my Summer tent, an 8 man cabin style, my foulweather tent, a 6 man dome, & last, my holy-crud-it's-cold tent, a 3 man dome. I only use that one when it's mid-Winter, & I'd be miserable in anything larger (read: less economical for body-heat).
Otherwise, I have to have at least 9msq to myself, or I get physically claustrophobic + socially overextended - + thus crabby + unpleasant - within like 2 days, which isn't great because I never go on trips of less than 5 days (if you count the day of arrival, & the morning of pack-up). I'm married, but my husband doesn't camp, so getting that space to myself is rarely an issue though I have had to explain to a friend once or twice, when they asked why we can't just take 1 tent, & save the extra cargo space.

I'm an unrepentant glamper; elevated bed w. memory foam topper, inflatable sofa, zero gravity recliner as fireside chair, chemical toilet...the works. Though I stop short of the AC unit, the little heater + the TV, as I have seen some family campers bring; if it gets too hot in my tent, I leave it, if it gets too cold in my tent, I line the walls with foil blankets, & if I get bored, I go for a walk. I camp to be in nature - comfortably so, but still in nature - & maybe it makes me a fuddy-duddy, but I feel like there's a big difference between bringing your phone, or even your tablet, & bringing your TV. So, that's my line, but everyone has their own.

Thankfully, I'm a very skilled cook, + since I plan the menu & do all the cooking for the entirety of each trip, none of my friends ever complain about the extra weight of all my 3-star, humble homebrew glamping gear in the trailer. ;-)

P.S. I am now enjoying exploring your site! So much great reading material. :-D

Kingdom 6 is $499. I bought a Kingdom 4 for $210 at the garage sale.

Haha. Your head is higher than the tent. You definitely can't stand up straight in the tent. Even so, I agree it's a nice tent. Otherwise, decent video.

Thank you!!!

Me gusta su forma de pensar.
Buen video.

You have reaffirmed my want to get a bigger tent than I need once I’m able to go camping just to make sure I have a big enough covered space outside my car that I can stay in.

I had much the same stuff organized the same except I used the flip-top bins because their stack securely and I don't have the lid to worry about. One negative is they will let water in so I kept them in the car or tent. also had a Coleman dual fuel stove. It all got stolen from my site near Lake Shasta back when fires were breaking out there a couple of years back.

What is the exact name of the tent? It looks great.

By “car camping” I wasn’t sure if you didn’t mean sleeping in the car itself. BTW, I notice that is a truck.
Nice campsite location.
I am debating whether to sleep in a truck-bed tent or a freestanding tent.
I might try the pvc bin system. Just getting started but I have “camped” in the Army extensively.

Tent isn't hooked right hes a rookie

what tent is that in this episode?

Buy a Canyon Cooler. They are cheaper than Yetis and have some cool accessories.

Good tips 🏕👍🏽😊

Good info. Thx

What happened to camping 🏕 all I needed was a tent a sleeping bag and a sandwich 🥪

Im getting a bin for my first camping

It was nice seeing a basic car camping video that wasn't about glamping

One small thing, would it hurt to consider a small stand like maybe a wooden tv tray to set your stove on so you'd have access to your cooler while cooking....just a suggestion

I also use bins. Using them has eliminated so much frustration when it comes to organizing and storing my gear, supplies, and food. I love the tent! A little elbow room in a tent makes everything easier. Nice video. Thank you.

Big tens for car camping are great. Enjoy the space! Great video. I have subscribed! :)

I just received the same tent, for free 😊

Its a huge pain in the a88, but once ur set up, its a blessing (sooo enjoyable, sooooooo much fun!!!)
