@@bobanddangsjourney thank you!! Happy New Year to you! And happy camping!

@@bikeflu sorry you had a bad time there, we loved our time there, and didn’t smell anything from the pit toilets, but we usually camp these places in the winter when it’s basically empty. Most of these government-run primitive campgrounds have pit toilets, so that might be kind of hard to avoid. Maybe try DeSoto Falls campground in Cleveland, sites 14 &15 are creekside, but much further away from pit toilets.

@@arielriley1 . I’m so very happy to hear that these videos have been helpful to you! Thanks for letting me know! I hope you have a great time there in the spring, happy camping!😃

@@steventhomas7504 thank you for the feedback, I’ll try to include maps for future campgrounds. Lots of local small businesses and residents sell firewood around this campground, so we just purchased wood from them. Most of them were only charging about 5$ for a reasonable sized bundle.

@@CatWoman-u9m . Hi there, I wasn’t using a generator this particular trip, as the campground had electric hookups.

@@intotheoutside4299 . Thank you! I’m glad that you find them helpful!

@@poidog999 . Thanks for the feedback.

@@mandujanojuan437 hi there! Yes, you should definitely do this trail some day! All the boulders were really cool to look at.

@@mandujanojuan437 I wish more was done to preserve these too. It’d be a shame to see them completely disappear.

@@mandujanojuan437 absolutely! I was glad to see that too, I always hate seeing ruins destroyed by graffiti.

@@rosalindafaye5668 thank you! Thanks for watching!😃

@@tito2928 . Thank you! Happy camping!

@@Sisterg618 . Thanks but no, as I stated in my description, the whole point of this video was to show the initial setup and first thoughts. And at no point was I confused, I started assembling the tent immediately out of the box, as I stated in the video, it’s not rocket science, simply a matter of taking your time to the thread the poles, which takes a little longer when you’re working alone.

@@cowboypenguin . Thank you! I’m happy to know that you found this useful! Happy camping!

@@alanosborne1947 hi there! Thanks for sharing this with me, I hadn’t heard of Hamilton Beach State Park. I would like to explore more of South Carolina once it warms up, so this info is right on time! Happy camping!

@@theunknowntinman different strokes for different folks. I actually hated Rio Grande village, it was too crowded and busy for my liking. My favorite was the secluded backcountry site Hannold Draw, followed by Cottonwood campground second.

@@brendapoppell9155 . Thank you so much! 😊

@@aggiejourno . I’m glad to hear that this was helpful to you! I hope you have a great time there!

@@carguy327 . I’m glad this helped! I hope you have a great time there, happy camping!

@@keithbrookshire , Wow, sounds like you have some fond memories of Doll Mountain! I hope you get to enjoy some camping there soon! Thank you for letting me know this was helpful to you, comments like this make it all worth the effort.😃 Happy camping!

@@bobanddangsjourney Hey there! Thank you! I absolutely love your channel by the way! It’s honestly some of the best videography I’ve seen! And your storytelling is superb! You should definitely come spend some time in Georgia, from the Mountains to the coastal barrier islands, there’s so much to do!!!

@@outdoormary We have been thinking about a trip out there for some time - probably have to wait another year, but maybe in '26 we can do it! Thanks so much we really enjoy your content a lot as well :)

@@barbshubert9667 . Thank you so much, I appreciate hearing this! I’m glad to know that this helps fellow campers! Happy camping!

@@barbshubert9667 Thank you! I’m so glad you found it useful!!

@@ZinChromeX Indeed! I love camping! I’ve never been to Oklahoma, but it’s on my radar for 2025! Do you have any recommendations for remote camping spots?

@ I only lived in the city parts, which was Broken Arrow and Tulsa. They’re quite like Hickory and Charlotte (but way bigger), respectively. Though I did live there for seven years, I never did hear of anywhere that would make good spots. Just imagine a bare, flat landscape and VERY few trees. In short, my personal opinion is to not go if you still prefer forest settings.

@ , gotcha! That’s good to know, thank you!

@@AltaCine4k , I loved it too! One of the most beautiful places I’ve been so far.

@@davidthacker3213 hi there! Thank you so much for telling me about the flea market! I haven’t been to a flea market in years, but I used to love going them. I will definitely have to check it out next time I’m in the area. 😀

@@jclikespam7791 . Yes, Alabama has lots of natural beauty. I’ve really enjoyed exploring more of Alabama.

@outdoormary I have always loved the country, no matter where it is. I had planned to retire and travel, now it's all gone. Glad to be able to watch your travels.

@ same here. The serenity of the country gives me so much peace, my anxieties melt away when I'm out in nature. I'm sorry things didn't work out as you planned, but I hope things turn around for you. I'm honored that you get some enjoyment out of my videos, and I wish you the best!

Thank you!

@@hikingwithjackieboy . Thank you. Yes, it was very interesting to learn about the history of Castolon. I love visiting places that allow us to have a glimpse into the past. Thanks for watching!

@outdoormary you're welcome

@@CanadianJaze . While it may not be the correct way, I actually prefer it like this. Now that I’ve had the opportunity to camp with it more, this way suits me best. I like not stepping directly into the main body of the tent as I get out of bed, this gives me a small corridor to step into instead. It feels more spacious and creates more separation between my living & sleeping quarters. And it doesn’t adversely effect the weather tightness at all. I recently camped during a storm in the Nantahala forest, and absolutely no rain got in. It’s working well for me, I got no complaints.

@@hrobledo . The tent holds up great to bad weather. I went camping in the Nantahala National Forest for 4 days and a storm came through . Absolutely no problems with the wind and rain. Unfortunately my SD card got corrupted and all the images were lost, so there won’t be a video about that camping trip. As much as I appreciate how well it did in the storm, I will be looking for a new SUV tent. The complete lack of windows with this tent is not something I can deal with. The only way to get fresh air in is to leave the front door unzipped, or completely remove the rain fly, not ideal.

@outdoormary ty for the update. Have you tried screen sheltered camping at any state park?

@ . I’ve only done that once actually, in a park in Texas, I don’t remember which one now. Unfortunately I haven’t encountered many parks that offer screened shelters in my neck of the woods. But maybe I just haven’t looked for them. I usually just tent or car camp when it’s not feasible to drag along my travel trailer, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled for more screened shelter opportunities, that would be incredibly convenient.

@@CringeworthyOverland thank you !!! I’m stoked you saw my video! I saw an awesome video you made about a year ago about Page Arizona, and I’ve been watching ever since. I absolutely love your channel! All your videos are beautifully done, and your’re hilarious ! Thanks for watching!😀

@@jclikespam7791 it really was beautiful! And one of the prettiest lakes I’ve ever seen!

@@alowatsakima8950 , oh my! I just Googled Cherokee Rock, it looks awesome! Thank you so much for the recommendation, I’d never heard of this place before. It’s definitely on my list now! I can’t wait to check it out!😀

@@hikingwithjackieboy it really is! I wasn’t expecting it to be so nice. It’s a beautiful, yet rugged desolation, definitely unique.

@@thorned10 we were there for almost 3 weeks.

@@Walkwith_Christine . I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! 😃

@@harrg2615 . I haven’t tried it under those circumstances. But I’ll try that exact scenario tomorrow, and I’ll let you know what I get.

Thanks i will wait for your results ​@outdoormary

@@harrg2615 well, I finally had some sunshine today. I tried the scenario and got zero watts coming in. That being said my front windshield is tinted overall & has an extra dark UV strip at the top border, and the rest of my windows have dark tint as well. So perhaps your results would be better if your windshield has less tint.

Thanks. I will leave that idea charging from inside the vehicle

It’s just a little 5k btu window unit that I got from Walmart. I use it a lot in the summer when I tent camp, especially since it gets really hot in Georgia. It works pretty well . I linked a video of my other tent with the AC setup if you’re curious. Air-Conditioned Tent Camping in Georgia Heat. th-cam.com/video/GoKMDY5Tiuk/w-d-xo.html

Hi there, this was at a campground that had electricity available. But when we camp off- grid we use solar panels to keep our GRECELL power boxes charged, these power boxes keep our phones, tv, small electronics powered. Then we have a 4500 watt Champion generator if we need to power the refrigerator, AC, and microwave. The generator alone could power everything in the tent on it’s own easily, but we try to minimize generator use.

@@lindatolliver thank you! I haven’t tried a truck bed tent, how do you like it?

@@outdoormary It was so hard to figure out and put up. I haven't tried it since that first time. I plan on using it in March though. Wish me luck. You did such a great job without instructions!

@@lindatolliver Thank you! I hope it all goes well for you in March. Happy camping!
