Excellent video. Tips galore! Love that you demonstrated each item…way better than just talking about them as others tend to do. Thank you!! 😊
You're so kind, thanks so much! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful day!
This is so helpful! We are full time travelers and we are getting ready to do some spring cleaning, decluttering, reorganizing, and sprucing! Definitely using many of these storage ideas!
Thanks so much! I'm so happy to hear that and so glad you found some ideas. 😊
I really love ALL of your videos. They’re so helpful! I am going solo camping in a couple of weeks for the first time and ur tips have helped!! ❤❤
Thank you so much. I'm so happy that you are going on a camping trip soon, glad to know our ideas have helped. Have fun, adventure on!
This video was fantastic. Very helpful and informative. I've subscribed and I hope to watch more videos from you. tx!
Those crush lamps are great. I also use those Thermo-bug killing whatever lanterns. Love the collapsible sinks. I’m actually finishing the pullouts for my box in the back. I’ve tried to camp out of my suburban, but I just can’t get comfortable in there. I use a queen sized cot bed with a 6” memory foam mattress and a 10 x 10 pop up. I use a bucket with bags and a toilet seat. I’ve been a backpacker since I was 15, and have accumulated multiple mess kits over the years. I have the same stove you use (propane or butane), as well as one of my smaller backpacking stoves. I also keep a nylon tarp for an awning (can’t pull the trigger on one of those fancy expandable ones…yet). I’m working on a DC shower system that will give me a real good, hot shower. And I have one of those collapsible shower tents. I’m gonna make a roll up wooden floor out of some oak I’ve got lying around. I have a 27’ travel trailer, but sometimes it’s just better to go light. Thank for the video. 😁👍
It sounds like you have an awesome camp setup! Already owning backpacking gear, is ideal. We've been thinking about something like a Thermacell for mosquitos. Which one do you use?
Sleeping in the vehicle has been process of trial and error over the year and a work of art to be sure we are comfortable and cozy. We've found making sure the vehicle is level, front to back & side to side helps a lot for the bed setup to be more comfortable and being sure we have plenty of room to stretch our legs too. We are still working on our shower setup, it's quite primitive but works for us (we love the roll up wooden floors). Our kids have the Joolca shower setup - I'll try to get some video of it next time we are out camping together. We've been helping them work on an impressive, overland 4Runner setup! Thanks so much for watching - Happy Camping!
@@JC.Journey you should do a video on the 4Runner, too! 😊
Thanks for the ideas, tips, and product recommendations. Happy trails and safe travels!
You bet! Thanks for watching. Happy Trails & safe travels to you as well. 😊
Wow. You're speaking my practical simple love language. I love the telescopic toilet! And ceiling storage ideas
I'm so glad, thanks so much! 😊
The Best suggestions with the best presentstion I,'ve seen so far. Love your uncluttered, under control look.Thanks.
You are so kind, thank you very much! 😊
So many great ideas! I’ll be stealing some of these for our next rig! Love your little easy camping set up. You are so organized too. Great video. Miss and love you 😘
Thanks so much, I'm glad you got some ideas for your next rig! We love the simple, camping setup. It's taken us to some really great places. Miss you & love you too!😊
The best video I've seen. Very helpful tips for beginners like myself. Thank you.
Thank you, happy to hear it was helpful! 😊
Absolutely enjoyed your video,I love Camping,Hondas and creativity and you hit on all 3 😊
I'm so happy to hear that, thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Awesome collection of gear Jody! I really like the mesh bug screens- I haven't seen that type before, sliding over the whole door frame looks perfect. You guys are super organized, great to see how you set up and store all your gear…. lights for fun and safety. I hope you get out for lots of camping this summer! - Jen 😄🌻🌻🌻
Hi Jen! 😊 Thanks so much! The bug screens work really well. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. We are hoping to get in as many trips as possible - hoping the same for you. Hope you are doing well. -Jody ❤️🌲
@@JC.Journey We’re doing well… busy with work and weeding… lol. I’m still hoping to have lunch or a walk with you sometime this spring… I’m going to have to find a day to head your way. When I can get a couple possible days I’ll contact you to see if you’re available… thanks! Jen 😄
nice tips, some things are simple yet somehow we never think about it
Thank you! 😊
Great info. I love it when others (who also have a limited budget) do all the shopping work. My Amazon camping wish list just got longer. Thanks a bunch.
We're so glad we could help you out. 😉 Thanks so much for watching.
I can attest that the jump starter is probably one of the most important tools you can bring. I went solo car camping for the first time in Joshua Tree over this last Christmas, and wasn't thinking about my car's battery life. Left the doors open too long on the first morning and my car died. Thankfully, my neighbor in the campsite had one of those jump starters, and was able to help me out. I went into town that same day and bought one of my own. Thank goodness I wasn't wild camping with no one else in sight, or it would have been really bad.
Thanks for sharing this list. It will definitly be helpful as I test out my own camping gear and figure out what I do and don't need.
We've had a couple scares ourselves, in places with no cell service and no one around to help. A device like this is a definite must have. Leaving doors open too long is easy to do and cold weather can affect weak batteries too. Thanks so much for watching, we are so glad you found it helpful. Happy Camping! 🌲
this is awesome!
i'm planing to build a little SUV camper with a rooftop tent in germany, and so far your videos suit me most!
The rooftop tent is a must for me, since i occationaly pack the SUV with tools and tires, also trailer my track-car.
no need for a hotel! heh!
muli purpose adventure vehicle 😊
That's wonderful to hear, I'm so happy you enjoy our videos. Your multi-purpose adventure vehicle, sounds wonderful, we really enjoy ours! 🙌
👍🏻👍🏻Wow! This is very good information and is essential for travel and daily life.
Thank you! 😊
Great video. I already have some of the items, but others were great suggestions that I will be looking into. Thanks!
Thanks so much, I’m so glad it was helpful. 😊
Loved this. I have it all but the ceiling storage.
🙌 That's awesome! Get yourself some ceiling storage. Thanks so much, we're glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing. Lots of very good tips
Thanks so much - glad it was helpful! 😊
Liked. Subscribed. And saved for reference. Thanks for making such a helpful and informative video ❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much! 😊 I'm so glad the video was helpful. Lots more videos like this to come, thanks for joining our journey!
Lots of great recommendations!
Thank you very much! 😊
Wow. So many cool devices. We are planning a few trips this summer and will need many of those items. Great video. Thanks
I'm so glad it was helpful, have fun camping! 🌲🏕
I really enjoyed that. Thank you. 😊👍
That makes me happy. Thank you! 😊
It is a very cool camp setup you got here ❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Wonderful video - very helpful!
Thanks so much - Glad it was helpful! 😊
Very nice!! Love your channel!
You are so kind, thank you very much! 😊
Greetings, first time watcher. I enjoyed your video on tips for suv camping. This will be my 2 year of camping in my CRV. Will be tent camping mostly with staying in my suv as backup. I like your recommendations on space saving products and because my CRV is smaller than your Pilot, I need to make the most of my space. The only advantage is that I only have to deal with one person, me. Looking forward watching more of your videos. Thank you for sharing👍.
Welcome aboard and thanks so much! I'm happy to hear the video was enjoyable and helpful. I love sharing inspiration & ideas so there will be many more videos to come. Your setup in the CRV sounds great; making the most of the space is key and designing it as a custom setup just for you, is the best part! Have fun, Happy Camping! 🌲
Good stuff...
Thank you very much! 😊
Thanks so much, glad you liked it! 😊
Great content, thank you and travel well!
Thanks so much! All the best to you!
Great video.
Thank you! 😊
I have a collapsible sink that we use in our camper. I love it. Even has a removable drain plug thing. I use it a lot. I do like your mesh window covers. We have a door "tent" for our hummer. We've used it a couple times. Yours looks much easier to use. Love those little lights. Those are too cute. I like your toilet. We have a small collapsible that we take along with us on our overlanding/tent camping adventures. Great list of items.
Thanks so much! The mesh window covers work really well. They are really easy and I also like that the storage bag is pretty small too. I'm so glad you liked our list of favorites. Have a great day! 😊
Tres jolie video. beaucoup de plaisir a regarder et voir votre set up. merci de France
Thank you very much. 😊
Great video 👍🏻
Thank you very much! 😊
Awesome products!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Nice one guys.
Some great accessories you have.
We have some but will definitely look at others
Hope you two are well. 👍👍👍
Thanks so much! 😊
great video! simplicity at its finest
Thank you very much! 😊
@@JC.Journey welcome i tagged at least 8 items from that list
Awesome, thanks so much! 😊
I had been looking for that folding stool .. saw it on another channel and then forgot about it. I have a square folding toilet that I got with my camper but it has only one use and it's not user friendly. So thanks for that. It arrives Monday! Did like your showing the use of each item .. good video. I have a Toyota Tacoma with a 4wheel camper and enjoy seeing what others do.
Thanks so much! We love sharing ideas and inspiration, so I'm glad you found some things you've been looking for. We love seeing other setups as well - yours sounds fantastic! 👌 Happy camping! 🌲
looks like a great setup my friend's
Thanks so much, John. Have a fantastic day! 😊
Great share Friend! ❤
Thank you!
excellent presentation!
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊
Nice video.
Thank you very much! 😊
had to save your video.....great and informative video
Thanks so much - glad it was helpful! 😊
I too have a marron pilot camper conversion! I call it the cramper😂😂😂.Thanks for the tips. I need to get some of those cargo nets.
Right on! 🙌 The cramper, I love it! 🤣 Definitely, fitting! I'm working on a detailed video about the large cargo net, explaining how I did it. Should be coming out soon. Thanks for watching - Honda Pilot Crampers Unite! Take care. ✌️😊
You’ve got some great gear!
Thank you! 😊
Excellent..
Thank you! 😊
Well done.
Thanks so much! 😊
thx !!!
You bet! Thanks for watching! 😊
How notifications and videos are good and good to watch and listen to from a distance and watch with all your heart and share the beautiful ones. nice👏💯👍🙋🇮🇩
You're the best! Thanks!
Very beautiful sharing my friend ❤️ like done 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Awesome
Thank you! 😊
Just discovered your channel - very well done and now you have a new subscriber! The attic cargo net is what I have been looking for, but your links seem to show a different product, not the one you show on your ceiling. Can you double check and add please?
Thank you very much, welcome aboard! Sorry about the links, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I'll get that fixed. In the meantime, here's the link to the attic cargo net: ►Ceiling Cargo Net: amzn.to/4aB9PMH
Love this! I sleep with a fan 24/7, was wondering if you have any recommendations?
Thanks so much! 😊 We use two, very small, usb rechargeable fans that also work with a power source like a battery bank. They are not big enough to actually cool a space but do create nice air movement across the face. This is the one we use:
► Portable Fan:amzn.to/3Nu10eA (to use it all night, a portable battery bank would be necessary - I think it runs 2-6 hours on it's internal battery depending on which speed setting is used).
I'll leave a couple links in the description for ideas - but try searching for something like 'usb rechargeable' or 'usb powered desk fan'; something like this: ► amzn.to/3VNV7NX (full disclosure, we have not used this one, it's just an idea to use as a reference point). Hope this is helpful. 😊
@@JC.Journey Thank you so very much!!! Happy safe travels!!!
Great video. Which jackery do you use? Can you share info on the awning you use attached to the back ic your car? It’s on one of your short videos. Thank you.
Thanks so much! We use the Jackery 500 watt with the Jackery SolarSaga 100 watt Solar Panel. We've had it since 2021, it's been great for us. We use it to power our 12v fridge and for charging devices. I'll leave links in the description for you to check out.
We use a couple different tailgate awnings. One is featured in this video (the grey one): th-cam.com/video/t0rkavq6W3U/w-d-xo.html The other awning (the blue one) is by Kelty. I'll leave links for you in the description. Thanks for watching, let us know if you want to see a video about the blue awning, by Kelty.
Nice video! Out of curiosity, how long is that bed? Is that self made or something that is produced? Thanks
Thanks so much! We are using (2) Milliard single sized, trifold mattresses, side by side (25"x75"x4"). I'll add a link in the description. amzn.to/3TYXr3x
We have trimmed some off the end, to shorten it to fit to keep the kitchen build in place (in sleep mode) and keep the front driver/passenger seats in "drive" position. We are short, so it works for us. If you are taller, adjusting the front seats would be necessary to get all or most of 75" of mattress to fit depending on your vehicle. Without the build in place, all 75" fits, no problem. Hope that's helpful. 😊
Nice video, but I want to know where you bought the drawers in the back of your car. Thank you!
Thanks so much! We custom built the drawers ourselves.
Are you using your Dometic sink head with your Septer ? I’m deviating using a similar set up
We haven't made an adapter for the Dometic faucet to fit on the Scepter jug, yet. It's on our project to do list. Having a faucet for hand washing and filling our water bottles etc has been really great, so convenient. A quick disconnect on the scepter would be ideal, it's something we would definitely use.
Your video was nice, but you forgot to tell us where you purchased your nice drawers in the back of the car. That’s just what I’ve been looking for.
Thank you very much! We designed and built the drawers ourselves.
What can you do with the pelits or the powder. Like can you berry them ?
Great question, I'm glad you asked. The pellets act as layer in the bottom of the bag to soak up liquid, they smell like pine. The powder is a solidifying agent. We don't bury them. I should have explained it more in the video, sorry about that. 😊
@@JC.Journey ok. My friend used kitty litter. But I don't think it worked as good as you're options.
@@frankenstein3163 We tried kitty litter. It was heavy and I didn't like the 'fragrance'. The pellets or the powder are by far the best we've tried. The solidifying powder is our favorite especially while traveling and you only need to use a very small amount. If we are setup at camp, the pine pellets work great.
What firepit are you using?
It's the Ignik FireCan with the 5lb growler tank. We love them, they are small & compact but they're not budget-friendly, so I didn't include them in this video. I added links to both items in the description. Thanks for watching! 😊
Space-saving gear is a game-changer for camping adventures. We sent you an email, check it out.
This seems like an ad for Amazon.
It all seems like too much. I think you could make do without half that stuff. It’s like: what else can we buy?
😂
TBF if they used an ai voice I'd prob still watch it 😂
It IS an ad for Amazon -- they earn $$$$ if you click on their links and buy ANYTHING, doesn't have to be one of their items!
I don't see the point of collapsible bowls and containers. We have a €1 plastic bowl and use it to carry cleaning materials, so it is a storage container. We have a set of tupperware containers which fit inside each other, €4 for 5 containers taking the space of one. I do like the bug screen though. Microfibre towels are no good, they don't dry you, that's why the dry so quickly. Pot noodle is not a meal. Instead of a shovel, I use a flat ended machete, does everything a spade does, plus it cuts stuff and offers protection. Why do you need so many lights? You spend all that money and talk of saving money on one item.
you may not see the need but many might. No one is telling you to do so and if it’s not for you then so be it. Say thanks and move on!
Wow 😳🤦♀️
@@cocacolafiesta ...and I am not telling anyone to do what I am advocating. My costs are a fraction of yours so there is now a lower cost choice, with reasons. I am not saying you are wrong, these sites are to give us all ideas. I am on my third camper and had this one for 8 years. I would like to find your mozzy nets, as mine are held on with magnets.
@@allanb52 well, it just seemed by the tone of your response that you were undermining her suggestions.
@@cocacolafiesta That's it they are suggestions and all these things are subjective. I think the world is too sensitive.
Thanks!
You bet! Thanks for watching 😊
I'm going camping 🏕️ thanks so much for the reviews on the camping gear, i will be checking out them, i have the telescope table so good, and sturdy.
Here is a hiking backpacking video, North Fork Kaweah River th-cam.com/video/eoBw1OtTp9Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=q_9yjwJZFFhK3mWZ
Thanks so much, enjoy your camping trip! 🏕
All this stuff looks great!!!! And everything so easy to store!!
🌷 Except The black fold-out toilet. Have seen a couple people showcase it.
🪻For me It seemed flimsy. It did not seem real sturdy. Did not like it. ☘️Thank you again. Definitely will get everything else on the list!!!!
Thank you! 😊
