Welcome to the pursuit of great camping! Camping with the right gear, and good food, in beautifully peaceful surroundings can seem surreal. The balance of having a good measure of creature comforts, deliciously simple cuisine, all while experiencing the tranquility of nature is truly ideal. Join me in my quest for the perfect camp.
Easiest and Coziest Tent Ever!
The core equipment six person instant cabin tent is perfect! It goes up very quickly, and very easy. Plenty of room for my two dogs and I with our full set up inside. Love how easy this tent makes it for popping out for short overnighters. If you have any questions, please ask. I’ve added a link below, and when you use this link, it does benefit my channel. Thank you so very much.

One of my favorite pieces of equipment in my kit is my Fireside Pop-Up fire pit. It is lightweight and extremely compact, making it very easy to carry and very simple to set up. You can even get cooking grates for it. It takes up so little space and is great for simply enjoying a campfire or basic to complex campfire cooking.

Power Up! A Convenient and Easy Approach for Rechargeable Devices

My approach is different from many in that I do not use a large box like battery bank or a generator. This is how and what I use for battery banks for both at home for power outages, aka hurricanes, and when out camping.

An Inexpensive Game Camera that is Great for Capturing Wildlife Videos

I recently upgraded my game camera and I’m very pleased. This camera is solar powered, takes video with sound, and the images and video can all be retrieved using your phone rather than going out and removing the SD card. Very convenient, especially because the places we put them are not always convenient to get right up to. Love it! Solar Trail Camera with WiFi & Bluetooth… amzn.to/3N1mNJQ Tra...

One of the Best Camping Projectors

In my last video, I did a ton of research and picked three top projectors to compare. I had no intention of buying a new projector at all. Yet I ended up with the Anker Nebula Capsule 3 GTV because the tech is so sweet it was too much for me to resist.  I’ve included examples of daytime and nighttime projection as well as how the projector starts up and actually adjust the picture. I briefly i...

How tall is the tent? Can you stand up in it?
Yes, you can stand up in it, at least I can. It’s 72 inches in the center. I’m 5‘8“ and I’ve never had an issue bumping my head on the screen top. It’s a very comfortable tent.
You've got a great set up! I have a similar 6-person instant tent and I really like the size of it. I wish I could find one this size with a screen room similar to the Core 9-person instant tent. Is your separate screen room easy to set up?
Thank you! Yes, the screen room is very easy to put up. It’s even easier than the six person tent! 🤗 It’s a Coleman that is supposed to be 13 x 15‘. It doesn’t have any floor in it, so I don’t use it as much because the dogs can slip right out under it. And they do! Lol Here is a link to the screen room in case you are interested. amzn.to/3YKxBRZ
Thank you!! I have been looking at that exact same tent. 🙂🏕🏔🛶
I love this tent. It’s a great size too.
@ Your doggies look so cute and comfy!
Thank you! 🥰
That is quick!
If you’re not paying attention, it’ll be up before you know it. 😆🤗
Great review! The floor mat is an awesome touch.
Thanks! 🤗
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
where is the white screen from?
Hi, I got it on Amazon. It’s less than $20 and worth every penny! They have different sizes as well. Here’s a link. amzn.to/4eViP1r
2:49 the correct way to state the output is in “watt hours”, not just watts.
Thank you so much! As much as I love electronics, I am no good with relating matters of power and electricity. Very helpful thanks again! 🥰
What a gorgeous day!❤ Not even a chem trail in sight! (Well, not yet, anyway) Enjoy!!! 😊
Also I think that’s a bobcat not a panther…. I’ll share and ask friends!
That’s what we always thought, and then when I saw the picture a little clearer on a larger screen this croissants last time it became obvious that it was a panther to me, but I’d be very curious to hear what your friends have to say. I have spotted a panther, 100% panther in the yard before. So I’m not surprised if it’s the panther. let me know and thank you!
Omgosh! I love this vid! Your 2nd camera is so much clearer. What a beautiful wildness in your suburban back yard! Also, you are so brave to tread out AMONG THE PINEs IN Florida because I’m gonna tell ya…..walking into 1 banana spider web would have me stripping naked and running for dear life 😂
Hilarious! Thank you! I know a lot of folks like you… But I will just pick up the spider and move it. Too funny!
Wow! A florida panther so close to the house! Incredible footage 😊
Thanks for watching! That panther had shown up as a juvenile in our yards right on the cul-de-sac I live on years ago. I have seen that panther walking through my backyard, and he was so small that he could fit between the rails of the fence. He has never bothered any of our animals at all either. I feel extraordinarily privileged to have a panther calling the area behind my house his domain. They usually stick to about a 50 mile area. Thanks again!
Wow that was awesome captures, great quality videos. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Great video! Hi Finn xoxo
Thank you!
Love this idea! Finn is a great spokesperson for your channel! LOL!
Thank you! 😆🥰😆
Great idea, never thought to use one inside the tent , use it outside before. Thanks will have to get one for next season. Hope you have an awesome week.
I’m glad you found it helpful! Thank you and I hope you have an awesome week too. 🥰
Genius! Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome! Thank you! 😊
I don’t see you sitting in.
I’m not sure what you mean.???
where can I buy the projector screen at? thanks
On Amazon. They have a few different sizes to choose from. Here’s the link. They are great and they don’t wrinkle. 🤗 Here is the link. amzn.to/3XNFd76
I love my capsule 3 (led)
Scroll to all settings then scroll down to remotes & accessories you can add a speaker from there
I cannot believe I missed that! Lol thank you so much.
The nebula you can use Bluetooth to a speaker
That is awesome to hear. I am very techy and surprised that there is a way to do it as I searched every menu through. Please tell me the secret! Thank you! 🤗
So… there is no glow from the outside when the light is on at night? Not sure I’ve ever seen a tent like that.
It’s treated with what looks like almost a metallic finish on the inside, and it really doesn’t have that transparency that a regular tent would. The inside fabric reminds me of what we used to use in photography and filming to reflect light from behind the studio lights. They kind of look like umbrellas behind the lights. It really is quite effective.
Finn is an absolute super model. He could offer any camping chair to me and I’d buy it. From personal experience, both chairs are great but that pillow on the core chair is a real selling point. It makes a big difference. Also I could feel how much more relaxed you were when sitting in it.
I completely agree about Finn, and I do agree about the Core chair too. I think if someone’s significantly shorter, they might not like it as much as the kingcamp. For me it fits great! Thanks so much for your feedback!
I would personally take a stun wand and/or bear spray in certain areas and perhaps just set up the P-tent with a can of wasp spray (for non-lethal deflection of uninvited guests ... 2 legged, four legged, and maybe slithering...)
Thank you for that. Sounds like a good plan!
Under!
Over. what a great idea to use a flag pole for toilet paper!
I would love to take credit, but a friend sent me that idea. It really works well too.
thanks!
You’re welcome.
I thought the whole point of camping was to use the woods?
We used to, but I’m a bit older and things do change with age. Having a potty tent means that I can still participate in dispersed camping, which is fabulous!
I really like the table and Finn is adorable. I’m getting my camper van outfitted now. This is such a great stow away table. I’ve definitely put it on my wishlist.
Aw, thank you so much!
This is on my Amazon wishlist. ❤❤
So glad! It really was nice having so many more options for meal time prep. I even made brownies in them and they’re delicious!
Great idea. My sheltie is wanderer. I’m just starting out camping by myself and will want to take him with me for company.
Thank you! Camping with your dogs is the best, especially when you’re camping alone! This leash system was definitely a game changer for us. I hope you and your Sheltie have plenty of wonderful adventures!
Thanks for the info! And TP goes OVER😊
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. 🤗
hi did the tent come with the porch ive not seen one advertised im looking to buy one cheers and thanks
Thank you for asking. Yes the porch comes with it as part of the tent. Here is a link on Amazon for the tent. I think there’s also a $50 coupon right now for this tent. Hope this helps and happy camping! amzn.to/4cV2eKp
I have the double, shower toilet area combo. Love it! Bought some restaurant rubber mats with the holes and the water goes right thru and the separate area keeps my towels and clothes dry. It also doesn’t seem as hot and stuffy I there. You are in a plastic bag in the sun, it’s hot in there. Just remember to put showers a distance from where you will walk, it takes awhile for the ground to dry.
Great advice and definitely the restaurant mats would make a world of difference if you’re using a shower tent. Thank you so much!
@@CampingConnoisseur loved your video. Great sound and editing. I thank you for posting. BTW; those fly stips from the old days, at dollar general, the hang in the corners and keep flies down from the doors getting opened and closed frequently, just keep away from hair… far far away!
Thank you so much for your kind words. The fly strips are great idea, unless maybe if you have really long hair. 😆
Over
I’m a over person.
Over.
I like your outdoor potty tent. Nice and spacious. If taking a shower, I would cover the toilet paper. I would have a bottom cover to keep snakes and mice out. Happy outing!
Thank you and I agree about the floor and keeping snakes out for sure! So far so good though.
A tent with no built-in floor is gross. Sometimes the ground is gross and you need a floor, especially if you're showering.
Yes, I completely agree. With this tent there actually is a mesh flooring that can be pinned up out of the way when you’re using it as a restroom if you want. I keep mine pinned up but next time I am going to put it down. I was afraid it was going to get messed up, but now I don’t think it will at all.
With that set up, you can have two rolls, one under and one over. Then when you pull on either, it doesn't unroll the other at the same time......duhhh!
Pure genius!!! Thank you so much! 😂
You’ll never convince me there’s no smell.
😆😂😆 The smell in my tent was minimal at the most. I use the high-quality bags and I’ve been pretty impressed. And then there’s that mine doesn’t stink! 😆😂🤗
Depends on the commode used. Mine doesn't. But it's a theford porta potty. Also, pine pellets work. When liquid hits them the pellets absorb the liquid and turn to sawdust.
Thanks for the info. Someone was telling me about using pine pellets when I was camping last time. Sounds wonderful! 🤗
I use the ones that she uses and it really seals it. It’s like two bags. The inner one you roll down and the outer one zips. It is very heavy duty (no pun intended…duty-doody). Super expensive if you are supplying a whole family.
@judymurray191 I’m always amazed at how small the final bag is! So far, since it’s just me camping, I’ve been able to justify using them. The fact that they’re so compact when they’re done really helps, especially if you’re having to carry out like I did last time.
That's a shower tent. I nevervuse for potty
That’s what I like about it. It can be used for both. It’s nice and roomy and has everything you need for both. 🤗
@@CampingConnoisseur yes, I very much like the size, never seen🙂
Garden flag holder is a good idea
Thank you!
WE always tp rolls under 1 cats can't unroll them 2 if they are slightly unrolled it's not in the way nor gets caught on a show or clothes.
Two excellent points! Thank you! 😻
Over, always.🤗
🥰
Confirm that you can set up by yourself. My hands have arthritis so set up needs to be possible. Thanks.
So sorry about your arthritis. Yes, you can! I have arthritis in my hands and even worse in my shoulders. To get this tent up, you have to press two pieces together at the top. To do this I actually lean the tent a little bit over on the side because of my shoulders. After that, you put it back up and extend the polls out by pressing the release button on each leg, and just extending them out. When my hands are not doing as well, I will slip on some gloves, like gardening gloves that have rubber tips, to get a better grip and extend them out. I find the gloves, especially helpful if it’s wet at all. It is easy and a very high-quality tent.
How much weight will the chair hold?
Nevermind
It will hold 400 pounds. It is super stable! I love it.
Finns like hey mom I want to be part of this too! 😂 I like the size of the table and that it’s made of bamboo.
😊😆😊
A link to where to purchase it would have been nice. T.P. over the top.
Thank you so much for your interest, and sorry for the confusion. The links are provided and available when you access the video through TH-cam. If you go into TH-cam and scroll down on the description, they are below the description. Here is the link for the tent, and let me know if you want to link for any of the other components please. Thanks again and happy camping! amzn.to/3USgPye
