I would add a sub-category, call it a crossover between the glamper and the survivalist -- the gear guy. He (or she) has at least 3 survival knives, a machete, 7 ways to make fire, 4 ways to purify water, enough tools in their truck to rebuild an engine (foreign or domestic), more spices in their pantry than you have at home, 3 different olive oils for cooking, a first aid kit that rivals a paramedic's work bag.... Some of the gear swings towards survival, but the laptop and LCD projector for "movie night" swings towards glamper. I will admit this category occurred to me because I am at least partially guilty of it, though I've been actively working on cutting back. Seriously...
The “enough tools in the truck to rebuild an engine” killed me💀💀, that’s Me!!! Lmaooo🤣🤣🤣 Edit: I also bring tow straps to help people out, i help pulled a car from being stuck on a snow because they try to travel to their relatives house cause they have no heater at home. My tools allow me to stop on the road to help an older couple in their 60s to change a super flat tire in about 5 mins with an impact💪🏽. And Yes I can do field maintenance if needed.
Feel kinda called out by the survivalist, that’s the hat I wear when I camp… Also leave no trace is a serious thing that everyone should practice when camping
@@alexketteman5202 used to have to teach these things. Its not as simple as digging a hole, pooping, and burying it. They want you to make a poo stew. I think many of the LNT principles are utterly ridiculous
If those types annoy you, don't worry, it's pretty easy to avoid them. You can smell the slathering of bug dope and citronella they coat themselves in a mile away. Sometimes they even wear cute little bells to warn you they're stumbling around out there!
My old roommate is a glamper and I'm a "survivalist" lightweight camper. Mix the two of us together and I get to sleep on an air mattress I didn't have to lug out and blow up and she gets to eat my elk stew that she didn't have to dehydrate or rehydrate. Together we made a hella fun camping experience.
My dad brought me camping one time and he said we were going to camp the way he did when he was a child, he literally just brought an axe, machete, and tarp and made a shelter out of tree branches.
You forgot: the *real* expert. Pulls a 3-course meal outta thin air, knows every plant and what it can be used for, bag looks like a space shuttle it’s so well-packed and lightweight, but also super humble, can and *will* out throw you in skipping stones, generally really nice, tells funny stories about stuff unrelated to camping, generally just has a good time. Those campers are the ones that you like to see.
Lol you forgot to mention how LOUD that guys snores. I know because I’m that guy. Well, technically I don’t know because I’m usually asleep when it happens but I always hear about it
@@saraolson7730 Maybe some scout troops work differently, but my only experiences with scouts in backcountry are 1. The scoutmaster in the Boundary Waters chasing a canoe down the rapids, 2. Having to rescue a group of scouts who didn't know how to steer a canoe in wind and got broadsided, and 3. Coming across a scout troop in the Wind River Range on a backpacking trail legitimately fighting over whether or not it's safe to eat blackberries(yes) and Canadian yew(NO!).
I work at a state park with a campground, you have pretty much nailed camping. We get alot of the why are there bugs out here and the people next to me have there car 1/4 inch on the grass call the state police
I grew up in WI and was absolutely *stunned* when I moved to TN, went camping, and got a FINE for having beer in a state campground. WTF is that?!? No beer while camping? That just ain't right.
Can confirm. That does happen. And don't forget the rich middle aged couple that get mad because their million dollar 50 foot long RV doesn't fit on a site meant for small tents.
@@cameron354 Or the party animals who bring the music and camp next to the nature seekers who camp "to get away from the noise" and go to bed at sunset to wake up for a sunrise hike.
Holy crap! That was my camping site last weekend. From "I'll just sleep on the ground" to a 36ft bumper pull MONSTER of a toy hauler and everything in between. Tiny burrito tents, 4 room tents with cots, an old '68 Shasta camper, a motor home and me with my first ever 22' RV. Never thought I would own one but ... well ... I am old and the ground somehow got harder when I hit 50. And pooping in a flushable pooper is nice.
I was thinking about camping with my 3 teenagers this summer, and now I know what to expect. Thank you so much for showing me what will inevitably happen!
I hope you have gone camping with them before. Taking 3 teenagers camping for the first time sounds like hell. The first time i went camping was when i was in preschool and my dad called me in sick for a week and we camped near the sequoias.
Man, you nailed it! Especially the Amazon-gadget-camping-guy guy with the air conditioner in his tent. Pay so much attention to the "wilderness accessories" that he totally misses the wilderness. A shame. But, if he had some Wisconsin cheese to go with that air conditioning, he'd be forgiven
I have a little battery-operated fan that hangs from my tent's central lamp loop, when it's the middle of Summer, here in Australia, but yeah, that's def missing the point. I have seen posts & blogs by ppl who do that, though. I just want to know how they haul all their stuff in; my buddies + I are the standard sort of car campers, & _we_ have to use a (Australian) trailer - these folks must rent a moving van! 😂
You're reminding me of the time the guy in the campsite across from me had BROUGHT HIS TV and plugged it in outside to watch, er, a channel with a strong political bent. But it wouldn't have mattered if it were my favorite show, DON'T WATCH TV CAMPING! Or keep it in the RV.
Hey, why you attacking me?! 😜 I do have all the gear for camping comfortably, but I’m also perfectly fine trekking in the woods for 12+ hours with nothing but water and energy gels. I find it’s a good balance!
The most terrifying thing is going to a camp store for supplies and the entire staff has stories of backpacking up a mountain using only the night sky to guide them, gaining the trust of the local wildlife so they can sleep inside a tree, and riding down the mountain using waterfall and canoe and you're just trying to buy a folding chair
The unofficial motto of Boulder County, Colorado, used to be “A dog in every Subaru.” Seemed nearly everyone had both! 😂 That was years ago, before Colorado became such an expensive place to live. Now maybe “A dog in every Lexus hybrid SUV” would be more accurate. 😏
You basically summarized my entire experience on a camping trip with my old Boy Scouts troop there. Just missing the guy who doesn't realize he's about 2 steps away from seriously hurting himself/everyone around him
We had a kid in Boy Scouts that poured a bottle of stove fuel onto the fire. The flame leapt back into the bottle making him panic so he threw it and the bottle hit a tent and melted a hole in the side and he almost started a forest fire. God that kid was an idiot.
If we're being totally honest, roughly 97% of camping trips are just an excuse to eat a LOT, and smoke and drink as much as you want outside without your real neighbors calling the cops.
@@mtoohill how about bathrooms completely destroyed by people who are not used to camp food...I mean seriously how do you get that stuff 4' off the ground on the wall? Or maybe people how dump their waste water from their camper tanks on the ground. Jetski's on a 100 acre lake. Open frame generators that can be heard clear across the campground...
@@sdnlawrence5640 We have one...I just don't believe inn promoting my channel on someone else's channel without their permission. If Charlie says it's OK then I will link it here
My dad is somewhere in the list. He had a mattress in the bed of his truck, tonoh cover and bug mesh around the sides. That same trip he brought the deep fat fryer, fried up and shared fries with surrounding campers, and had our satellite set up running off the truck battery.
Confession: most recent time my DH & I went camping we forgot the tent. I thought HE had put it in the car, etc. Not newbies exactly but it had been 5 years, we were out of practice. 😄 (He salvaged the trip by driving to the nearest Walmart to buy the cheapest available tent while I built the fire, and later we had a wonderful steak dinner cooked over the fire. 💗) I did more camping when I was single and miss that.
@@kaydincathey that was so bizarre. I recently read an article about how some paper companies' profits are down this year; apparently people are using up all the TP they hoarded last year and not buying enough now LMAO. Similarly, you can find hand sanitizer two-for-one deals all over; all these companies went nuts making it like crazy to cash in, and now there's a glut of it, they can't get rid of it all :p
@@dogslobbergardens6606 haha! Yeah it was insane. People done lost their minds!🤣🤣🤣 And I believe it. High demand for a while and then low. I'm sure that portion of the stock market is suffering as well.
This needs to be a series! Hands down there are so many types of campers. My wife is a OMG there’s mosquitoes out there I’ll be inside. My daughter is a you’ll find me in the wild raspberry or blue berry patch. My son is a hasn’t rained for days but I found a mud hole to get muddy. And I’m a who needs a horse when you’ve got multiple 4x4 horses (ATV)
I am a glamper, my family brings the generator so we can put up a 16’ projector screen and play the wii. It’s a loud dunes atv campground, generators aren’t an issue. Atv camping is a whole different experience than regular camping. The 4 seater RZR fits in the toy hauler. We basically put a huge car into our camper. The toy hauler has 3 large beds, a deck on the back, fridge, microwave, oven, shower, pretty much everything. We bring an extra set of sand tires and everything to change tires while we camp. We’ve bring the grill, propane, propane fire pit, torch, american flags for decoration. We don’t pack lite, we bring everything we can.
@@taylorsessions4143 It's one of the 16 Personalities. A Myers-Briggs personality test. You can look it up for free online if you want to take it. I took MANY of them just to make sure I was indeed my type because some people get mistyped. Edit: if you DO take it, make sure to look up Frank James' youtube channel. He makes little skits of how the personality types react to certain situations...and they are dead-on accurate😆
You forgot the invisible ones, that are dressed in colours that blend into nature, making it impossible to spot them when they get lost or injured. I myself look like a Christmas tree when I head out into the wilderness, the more bright colours the better, even my tent are bright orange.
You left out the one who flashes everyone with their flashlight or wears the miner headlamp that blinds you and their head is flipping around along with the light.
Nice. I have a humorous relationship with my glamper friend. She breaks out that ultralight gas stove, I break out a ziplock of charcoal and a hobo stove made from a coffee tin. She gets out a titanium mess kit, I break out a chipped enamel pot and a waffle house spoon. She breaks out the freeze dried bespoke gourmet packets, I break out a can of beans and open it with a knife... It's like a comedy routine.
@@jamescarrot2813You could be right. (She brings a trailer) I sincerely apologize if I offended you by misusing the term. I'm more of an experienced hobo than a camper really, and I sometimes forget that what seems glamorous to me is just normal to others. No offense was meant.
If you think that’s glamping you should see when my family brings a full set of sand tires for our rzr because it will only fit in the toy hauler with dirt tires
Thats not a glamper. She literally has the same camping equipment as you do but more expensive. She just invested more money into it You ain't a glamper until you bust out the mattress
34 years of tent, pick up camper (and not some air conditioned, has a bathroom camper), all weather, all potty experiences. I should get a hotel room and write a book.
🤣🤣🤣 great video...as a 61 yo, we camped in a tent and a tent/trailer and had an aluminium boat.. No phones or TV...the best holidays ever...greetings from Northern Ontario, Canada.❤
True story: 1st time camper once tasked with starting the campfire and they put the logs 🪵 standing up on end in a circle around the fire pit, like Stonehenge. 🙄
I admit, my first time I wandered over to the next site & asked the guy there very nicely if he would teach me for the cost of a beer, + a serve of dessert that night. Not only did I come back, armed with the knowledge I needed, but I made a new friend!
@@melanie_meanders If you lived your whole life in the city the answer to that is probably no. Anyone can set wood on fire, building an actual good campfire is a skill.
Me and the boys used to burn crap in the back yard. We had plastic pieces to fan it with. We'd fan the fire like it was a forge. Ate a squirrel or two. Some cupanoodle. Once had a fire in a pit in the rain, laid my ax on the old truck bench and it froze to it in the twenty or so minutes it took to cook the noodles. Miss them tards, grew up, we all did.
Hey, that's me! I bring the truck full of my kitchen and then feed everyone well enough that they hapilly figure out where to put me at night. I was once on a trip where I was handed a bucket of freshly picked blackberries as soon as I pulled up and was jokingly told to "go do something with these" (mind you we were tent camping, so no fancy RV kitchen to take over) ..I made a Peach & Blackberry Cobbler with brandy whipped cream using hot rocks and a campfire's coals as a rudimentary oven and a whisk duct taped to my DeWalt impact gun's 1/2 extension to make the whipped cream. That earned me exclusive rights to a buddy's roof top tent for the night. I've also seen someone turn around and excitedly throw their hotdog in the fire as I pulled into the campsite because the last time I had camped with them, I had rolled up and made them seared Ahi Tuna steaks and baked sweet potatoes with salted butter and brown sugar. I *LOVE* trading cooking for "camp accommodations" because fu*k setting up a tent. Edit; many many spelling correctuons. "Write drunk, edit sober." -Hemmingway, maybe.
@@aaronmacy9134 right on. I'm not a very good cook but I do love to eat and I'm good at the other camping stuff, so someone like you is welcome around my fire.
Ppl joke, but I have noticed that bringing an "outdoor carpet" (basically a very thick plastic mat) or an old rug into the tent to cover most of the floor makes a huge difference to how cold it gets, & how much crawling around hurts. I will say, it does mean boots-off-in-the-tent if you don't want to need a Roomba. 😉
I'm the kind of camper who stopped camping almost a decade ago because A) my back just won't stand for it unless I spend tens of thousands on an RV and B) there's a point where spending money to pretend to be homeless for a weekend just starts getting silly. I bought a place in the country instead and get to enjoy all the beauty and fun of nature whenever I want... but I also have a comfy bed and a hot shower whenever I want ;)
@@dogslobbergardens6606 Does a pop-up cost more than "a place in the country?" Seriously though, I don't blame you. I was never a regular camper, but when I have had the opportunity in recent years I've been starting to think "I'm getting too old for this." lol
@@marcw6875 I needed a place to live anyhow. It's not like I bought land ONLY to camp on, my house is here. Y'know, with the comfy bed and hot shower. ;) But actually, yeah, in many places you can indeed buy a couple acres of woods for less than a new $10,000 pop-up camper. And the land won't instantly lose value the second you hook it up...
"But but but just buy a used one." Yeah. I get that. Rickety old leaky piece of crap someone else already beat the hell out of... no thanks. We did that when I was a kid. It's fun for a season or two but eventually RVs and campers become like a boat - a hole you throw money into.
I'm always the camp cook. I make sure the coolers are stocked, cooking utensils are clean, and at least breakfast and dinner are planned and ready to go. I think the only time I need power is to charge my e-reader. I read a lot of books at the same time. And when I'm not cooking, I'm chilling in the hammock.
I legit saw a family bring a microwave on a tent camping trip. They were all sitting in their chairs, no campfire going, and the dad calls out to the kids "Who wants smores?!?!". My wife and I looked at each other with question marks over their heads because we knew they had already made a comment about not wanting to make a campfire in the fire pit because it was too dangerous. Then we heard the "ding!" sound from the microwave and almost busted out laughing.
My dad wasn't that much of a glamper, but he definitely brought an air mattress and a hot spot with him. Also, we lived a mile away from the campsite, so we just drove back for anything we forgot.
Part of the reason I like state park camping, usually if you forget anything or maybe say run out of beer🙄 usually close enough to civilization to make it right!
I went to Buckhorn State park with some friends a few months ago. Between the four of us we had an expert eagle scout, a first timer with his moldy $5 garage sale tent that he didn't try building beforehand, a less extreme expert, and me: mild glamper. I tried to be prepared for anything lol
Once you go glamping, you never go back. You don’t feel nearly as much like a homeless person on a cushy mattress, with electric fans, devices and chargers, etc. Kinda misses the point of roughing it, I guess, but at least my back doesn’t hurt the next day, lol.
I prefer something rougher, however if it means I can bring my nieces with me and eventually when I'm an adult and have my own family, I'm fine with that though I'll still add teh rough stuff when I can
Guilty, but I honestly enjoy it! It's that first & final bit of "me time" after/before the long drive, crammed together in the car. I'm not quite at the bunting-&-fairy-lights stage, but I can see it without a telescope. 😂
You forgot the Bro camper. They bring a bunch of 30 racks, an inner tube, Rainbows, and a cheap sleeping bag & tent they bought as a combo pack for $90 from Target that morning. Then they just float drunk in any body of water for 3 days. When they finally emerge from the water after 3 days, they explain “dude, I got to shit so bad.”
@@BMMEC6000 it's really not that hard; in fact it's actually pretty boring. That's why the TV "survival" shows have to make up all those whacky scenarios to keep it interesting. Just watching a person slap together a debris shelter, build a fire and boil water will put people to sleep after about ten minutes. "Surviving" in the wild is about 70% sitting around trying not to do anything really stupid. The other 30% is gathering firewood, checking trot lines, and wishing you had something to read or watch.
On my solo ultralight camping trip, I brought a 10 person tent, 12kw diesel generator, 700L freezer, 85” 4K OLED tv, 5-seater Moran leather sofa, Super King size Sealy mattress, washing machine, 5-cooker stove and 60 gallons of water.
Love this! I'm a car camper who drives a Subaru, is getting into backpacking, plays the guitar, and loves Green Day. I feel like I'm all of these people 🤣🤣
My go to is a small three person popup tent with an air mattress that covers half of the floor, leaving me plenty of floorspace for my bag and tools. And my solar panel.
We had a friend join us while we were camping once and he brought one of those outdoor shower things...that immediately broke when he tried to use it. Lol
I have one it works great heats water really fast never broke on my either but it's literally just an bag with a spout. I shower butt naked outside at my cabin good thing it's really secluded I wouldn't wish that horrible sight on anyone.
I find a pack of Wet Wipes is a much less chilly, more private, & less effort way of getting clean. 5 minutes a day, in the warmth of your tent; bam, clean. Just gotta remember to pack them back out.
I feel insulted and praised at the same time XD “The Expert” fits my family almost perfectly. We have pudgy pies, we sometimes backpack camp(though recently we got a bit tent and used cots- we all agreed it was glamping), we have- my mind is blanking on the name of it... the freeze dried food water boiler thing you showed-, we have all camped in Colorado, my parents have gone to another one of the places mentioned... oh, my dad and I sometimes timed ourselves to see how fast we could put the tent up together! We got it down to one or two minutes. And the new big tent we have gotten down to three! It would be less but because we have only set it up three times we sometimes pause to figure out what was next.
I think I'm "the grandpa". Loves the great outdoors with all the old school stuff, no tech/electronics, and brings enough food to feed every campsite within a 50 mile radius for 2 night of camping.
@@mysterylovescompany2657 And in my earlier days, day one would have ended like the scene in Old School with Will Ferrell "We're going streaking!!! You com'on! Bring your green hat!" hahaha
I have the “expert’s” distance, the first timer’s cluelessness to trail mix, the first guy’s Subaru Outback and the survivalist’s collection of knives.
I love camping, my favourite thing to do is find a nice spot to see the sunrise during day, and going there to see the sunrise in the morning, it’s so pretty, and the birds are beautiful. And reading a book in a hammock is nice to, and so is the fire, obviously
Also I want to add another type of camper, the "I like camping but I'm just gonna stand here taking in the scenery while you do all the work". I always camp with my friend because I don't really know anyone else with a car who will go camping with me, but it's like I do everything. I have all the gear at my house except a few things, and without fail she always forgets at least one of the few things she was supposed to bring. Then I have to do all the driving because she has such bad anxiety that she can only drive in our neighborhood and anything else makes her panic, so she can't do any highways or mountain roads. Then when we get there, I have to take everything from the car to the site, if I want her to do anything I have to specifically tell her "hey can you grab that cooler and bring it down, hey can you grab these two bags and bring them down?" even though she knows the first thing we do is bring al the coolers and bags down so we can chill, ever time, for the last 2 years. But instead she stands there looking at trees for 10 minutes, then sits at the picnic table to rest (from sitting in the pasenger's seat for the last hour) and load her pipe while watching me carry all the bags, instead of making the connection in her brain "oh maybe I should help with the bags first, and then we can both sit down and rest together" nope, I have to prompt her every single time. Then when it's time to put up the tent, I say "okay we should put the tent up before it gets dark" and I go and start taking things out of the tent bag, and she sits there and keeps watching me do everything until I say "uh hey can you maybe help me with this and do the other pole or something?" almost like she thinks she isn't allowed to just help without me asking her to, it's wild. And then the whole time she acts like she's super tired and worn out from all these tasks when she didn't even do any of them lol and then I also do all the cooking because she knows how to cook but just refuses to, if I even tell her what bags are which and that she can eat whenever or get some milk or juice if she wants, she'll sit around and then ask me if she can get this or if I can make some food instead of ever just taking the initiative. If I was camping alone I'd never even need to cook because I eat way less food when camping than I do normally at home (just a natural thing, I have very little appetite when I'm more physically active even though that seems opposite of what it should be, don't ask me why lol) but she's also really picky, like if I grab a side of Knorr pasta or rice or something easy she laments that "aw there's not really any real meat in that is there" because she can't imagine going one night without some chicken or beef in her dinner or go one night without hot food freshly cooked up for her, we've even had to leave and go into town to get fast food to appease her childish appetite. Sometimes it just gets annoying that I feel like the parent in an adult friendship.
honey... honey. there are girls out there who pull their weight and put effort into being creative... colored flames fire, games, special treats, decorate the site, itineraries for sightseeing, etc. she's lazy and childish and you're letting her... look around 🙏
It does suck when you feel like you're putting in way more effort than others. And it's never fun feeling bossy when you expect others to take initiative and help out unprompted. I wonder if this friend really wants to go camping at all? Maybe they think it's your fun time and they're just keeping you company? So they feel entitled to get a free ride out of the deal? I'd have a conversation and ask if they even want to go. And just go alone. You can clearly do everything by yourself, so you might as well not be resentful towards someone while you're out in nature trying to have a good time. Or make new friends who like camping. 😊
Man i'd love to go camping with someone else who knows how to camp proper! I uh...i just need someone who can chop the firewood for me. I just can't seem to get the knack of it. I eat less when i camp too! And i love a hot cooked meal...but i make a bunch of tinfoiled wrapped meals that i freeze then just cook in the campfire.
Holy shit I just ran across this again and I remember when I saw it while staying in Banff (not camping, bf is a glamper and demanded a hotel) and I thought this video was from a camping channel. But now I realize it was Charlie. This was the first video I ever saw from you, either this or the If Airlines Were People one. I know I commented before but wow, you’ve just been so influential on my feed without me even realizing it.
Charlie, did you really urinate on camera? Can we get a part two of this where you include the "everything's going to kill me" camper AND you sing the entire song of "Time of Your Life"?
My aunt decided to camp for a few months. She's a bona-fide hippie and all natural so clearly she had no use for toilet paper. _Until she used poison oak in the middle of the night!_
My fiancé is a “chef” when we camp. Every time we go camping he wants to cook like a Thanksgiving feast over the fire. On his dream camping trip We don’t hike, we don’t swim, we cook and spend hours and hours and hours by the fire.
I need to add vegan and dairy free mac and cheese to my shopping list today. And I love kombucha too! The "expert" was hilarious and spot on. Greetings from California! :)
My parents took me camping everywhere when I was kid.
I always loved that look in their eyes when I found my way back home.
"What the Hell is that Witch even _doing_ ?!" 😂
💀💀💀
Why is this joke always made in the comments of any video remotely regarding camping
You forgot "I get no respect!"
Ha Ha Ha dad.
I would add a sub-category, call it a crossover between the glamper and the survivalist -- the gear guy. He (or she) has at least 3 survival knives, a machete, 7 ways to make fire, 4 ways to purify water, enough tools in their truck to rebuild an engine (foreign or domestic), more spices in their pantry than you have at home, 3 different olive oils for cooking, a first aid kit that rivals a paramedic's work bag.... Some of the gear swings towards survival, but the laptop and LCD projector for "movie night" swings towards glamper. I will admit this category occurred to me because I am at least partially guilty of it, though I've been actively working on cutting back. Seriously...
Don't worry, you're appreciated when something breaks or someone forgot something, which always happens
The guy with extra batteries always saves the day.
Yo, why you callin me out?
i am DEFINITLY a gear guy. unless it was a pricey bit of kit I try to have multiple ways to do things. two is one and one is none.
The “enough tools in the truck to rebuild an engine” killed me💀💀, that’s Me!!! Lmaooo🤣🤣🤣
Edit: I also bring tow straps to help people out, i help pulled a car from being stuck on a snow because they try to travel to their relatives house cause they have no heater at home. My tools allow me to stop on the road to help an older couple in their 60s to change a super flat tire in about 5 mins with an impact💪🏽. And Yes I can do field maintenance if needed.
You missed the guy who brings cheap beer, asks if he can put in in your cooler and then drinks your good beer.
Ye i put that guy in The rain. F#ck you David! Bring a tent next time! 😂
That, my friend, is a con man
Thats oddly specific. Got a story to share greyeaglem?
I once shared a cooler of hot dogs at a cookout: people ate my Beer Brats and left me Turkey Dogs 🤢😩😩😂
Nahhh, he didn't miss him.. That's why he's not in the video ;)
Feel kinda called out by the survivalist, that’s the hat I wear when I camp…

My old roommate is a glamper and I'm a "survivalist" lightweight camper. Mix the two of us together and I get to sleep on an air mattress I didn't have to lug out and blow up and she gets to eat my elk stew that she didn't have to dehydrate or rehydrate. Together we made a hella fun camping experience.
Goals
Ah, sweet synergy.
As a glamper it'd be nice to have someone who knows how to make elk stew lol.
This is a fun comment!
My man brought a Dish Washer out into the woods for .85 seconds of B Roll.
That is dedication.
My dad brought me camping one time and he said we were going to camp the way he did when he was a child, he literally just brought an axe, machete, and tarp and made a shelter out of tree branches.
Yup that was my dad too lol
Funny!
Lol, my dad did the same about 44 years ago... 🤣

We might have the same dad
You forgot: the *real* expert. Pulls a 3-course meal outta thin air, knows every plant and what it can be used for, bag looks like a space shuttle it’s so well-packed and lightweight, but also super humble, can and *will* out throw you in skipping stones, generally really nice, tells funny stories about stuff unrelated to camping, generally just has a good time. Those campers are the ones that you like to see.
Yep.

Sounds like he should be paid for everyone else's entertainment
You mean people who were in scouting?
@@saraolson7730 Maybe some scout troops work differently, but my only experiences with scouts in backcountry are
1. The scoutmaster in the Boundary Waters chasing a canoe down the rapids,

I grew up in WI and was absolutely *stunned* when I moved to TN, went camping, and got a FINE for having beer in a state campground.

Holy crap! That was my camping site last weekend. From "I'll just sleep on the ground" to a 36ft bumper pull MONSTER of a toy hauler and everything in between. Tiny burrito tents, 4 room tents with cots, an old '68 Shasta camper, a motor home and me with my first ever 22' RV. Never thought I would own one but ... well ... I am old and the ground somehow got harder when I hit 50. And pooping in a flushable pooper is nice.

Man, you nailed it! Especially the Amazon-gadget-camping-guy guy with the air conditioner in his tent. Pay so much attention to the "wilderness accessories" that he totally misses the wilderness. A shame. But, if he had some Wisconsin cheese to go with that air conditioning, he'd be forgiven
I have a little battery-operated fan that hangs from my tent's central lamp loop, when it's the middle of Summer, here in Australia, but yeah, that's def missing the point.
I have seen posts & blogs by ppl who do that, though.
I just want to know how they haul all their stuff in; my buddies + I are the standard sort of car campers, & _we_ have to use a (Australian) trailer - these folks must rent a moving van! 😂
You're reminding me of the time the guy in the campsite across from me had BROUGHT HIS TV and plugged it in outside to watch, er, a channel with a strong political bent.
But it wouldn't have mattered if it were my favorite show, DON'T WATCH TV CAMPING! Or keep it in the RV.
Hey, why you attacking me?! 😜 I do have all the gear for camping comfortably, but I’m also perfectly fine trekking in the woods for 12+ hours with nothing but water and energy gels. I find it’s a good balance!
The most terrifying thing is going to a camp store for supplies and the entire staff has stories of backpacking up a mountain using only the night sky to guide them, gaining the trust of the local wildlife so they can sleep inside a tree, and riding down the mountain using waterfall and canoe and you're just trying to buy a folding chair

My dad is somewhere in the list. He had a mattress in the bed of his truck, tonoh cover and bug mesh around the sides. That same trip he brought the deep fat fryer, fried up and shared fries with surrounding campers, and had our satellite set up running off the truck battery.
Confession: most recent time my DH & I went camping we forgot the tent. I thought HE had put it in the car, etc.
Not newbies exactly but it had been 5 years, we were out of practice. 😄
(He salvaged the trip by driving to the nearest Walmart to buy the cheapest available tent while I built the fire, and later we had a wonderful steak dinner cooked over the fire. 💗)
I did more camping when I was single and miss that.

True campers have the mountine pie makers.
I am a glamper, my family brings the generator so we can put up a 16’ projector screen and play the wii. It’s a loud dunes atv campground, generators aren’t an issue. Atv camping is a whole different experience than regular camping. The 4 seater RZR fits in the toy hauler. We basically put a huge car into our camper. The toy hauler has 3 large beds, a deck on the back, fridge, microwave, oven, shower, pretty much everything. We bring an extra set of sand tires and everything to change tires while we camp. We’ve bring the grill, propane, propane fire pit, torch, american flags for decoration. We don’t pack lite, we bring everything we can.

The best camper I've ever known grew up in Alaska. A tent was a luxury for him. His idea of camping was a bedroll and a tarp.

Nice. I have a humorous relationship with my glamper friend. She breaks out that ultralight gas stove, I break out a ziplock of charcoal and a hobo stove made from a coffee tin. She gets out a titanium mess kit, I break out a chipped enamel pot and a waffle house spoon. She breaks out the freeze dried bespoke gourmet packets, I break out a can of beans and open it with a knife...
It's like a comedy routine.
That's not really glamping though. Sounds like your friend is an ultralight backpacker which is kinda the antithesis of glamping.
@@jamescarrot2813You could be right. (She brings a trailer) I sincerely apologize if I offended you by misusing the term. I'm more of an experienced hobo than a camper really, and I sometimes forget that what seems glamorous to me is just normal to others. No offense was meant.
If you think that’s glamping you should see when my family brings a full set of sand tires for our rzr because it will only fit in the toy hauler with dirt tires
Thats not a glamper. She literally has the same camping equipment as you do but more expensive. She just invested more money into it

True story: 1st time camper once tasked with starting the campfire and they put the logs 🪵 standing up on end in a circle around the fire pit, like Stonehenge. 🙄
I admit, my first time I wandered over to the next site & asked the guy there very nicely if he would teach me for the cost of a beer, + a serve of dessert that night.
Not only did I come back, armed with the knowledge I needed, but I made a new friend!
Omg, I feel like this is common sense in life? Do they not have a fireplace? Never been to a bonfire?
Expert here. NEVER task a 1st timer with starting the fire. What are you, a Glamper??
@@melanie_meanders If you lived your whole life in the city the answer to that is probably no. Anyone can set wood on fire, building an actual good campfire is a skill.
Me and the boys used to burn crap in the back yard. We had plastic pieces to fan it with. We'd fan the fire like it was a forge. Ate a squirrel or two. Some cupanoodle. Once had a fire in a pit in the rain, laid my ax on the old truck bench and it froze to it in the twenty or so minutes it took to cook the noodles. Miss them tards, grew up, we all did.

@@sheashells Exactly. And the drinks never last the night anyways
Hey, that's me! I bring the truck full of my kitchen and then feed everyone well enough that they hapilly figure out where to put me at night.
I was once on a trip where I was handed a bucket of freshly picked blackberries as soon as I pulled up and was jokingly told to "go do something with these" (mind you we were tent camping, so no fancy RV kitchen to take over) ..I made a Peach & Blackberry Cobbler with brandy whipped cream using hot rocks and a campfire's coals as a rudimentary oven and a whisk duct taped to my DeWalt impact gun's 1/2 extension to make the whipped cream. That earned me exclusive rights to a buddy's roof top tent for the night.
I've also seen someone turn around and excitedly throw their hotdog in the fire as I pulled into the campsite because the last time I had camped with them, I had rolled up and made them seared Ahi Tuna steaks and baked sweet potatoes with salted butter and brown sugar.

The ruumba, both inside and outside the tent, killed me. 😂😂😂
I guess I’m a glamper-and I need to get one of those Roombas!
I know, right? it's the perfect gift for the outdoorsman who has everything.
Ppl joke, but I have noticed that bringing an "outdoor carpet" (basically a very thick plastic mat) or an old rug into the tent to cover most of the floor makes a huge difference to how cold it gets, & how much crawling around hurts.
I will say, it does mean boots-off-in-the-tent if you don't want to need a Roomba. 😉
In denial.
I'm the kind of camper who stopped camping almost a decade ago because A) my back just won't stand for it unless I spend tens of thousands on an RV and B) there's a point where spending money to pretend to be homeless for a weekend just starts getting silly. I bought a place in the country instead and get to enjoy all the beauty and fun of nature whenever I want... but I also have a comfy bed and a hot shower whenever I want ;)
I think a pop up camper could be the solution?
@@bygodfreeman We had a pop-up when I was a kid. They cost more now than you might think.
@@dogslobbergardens6606 Does a pop-up cost more than "a place in the country?" Seriously though, I don't blame you. I was never a regular camper, but when I have had the opportunity in recent years I've been starting to think "I'm getting too old for this." lol
@@marcw6875 I needed a place to live anyhow. It's not like I bought land ONLY to camp on, my house is here. Y'know, with the comfy bed and hot shower. ;)
But actually, yeah, in many places you can indeed buy a couple acres of woods for less than a new $10,000 pop-up camper.
And the land won't instantly lose value the second you hook it up...
"But but but just buy a used one."
Yeah. I get that. Rickety old leaky piece of crap someone else already beat the hell out of... no thanks. We did that when I was a kid. It's fun for a season or two but eventually RVs and campers become like a boat - a hole you throw money into.

TWO PLY! that is my favorite line.
I legit saw a family bring a microwave on a tent camping trip.
They were all sitting in their chairs, no campfire going, and the dad calls out to the kids "Who wants smores?!?!". My wife and I looked at each other with question marks over their heads because we knew they had already made a comment about not wanting to make a campfire in the fire pit because it was too dangerous. Then we heard the "ding!" sound from the microwave and almost busted out laughing.
You must be from the north my family would have thrown the microwave in the fire and said man up or go home
@@noo343
Bugger off. Us northerns don’t condone such small dick behavior either.
My dad wasn't that much of a glamper, but he definitely brought an air mattress and a hot spot with him. Also, we lived a mile away from the campsite, so we just drove back for anything we forgot.
Part of the reason I like state park camping, usually if you forget anything or maybe say run out of beer🙄 usually close enough to civilization to make it right!
So excited to see you December 3 at the resch center already got tickets!!
I went to Buckhorn State park with some friends a few months ago. Between the four of us we had an expert eagle scout, a first timer with his moldy $5 garage sale tent that he didn't try building beforehand, a less extreme expert, and me: mild glamper. I tried to be prepared for anything lol
Having been all of these people, I choose glamping.
Once you go glamping, you never go back. You don’t feel nearly as much like a homeless person on a cushy mattress, with electric fans, devices and chargers, etc. Kinda misses the point of roughing it, I guess, but at least my back doesn’t hurt the next day, lol.
Glamping is the only way I can convince the wifey to go with me. That way all the women can act like they’re still at home while the men go fishing.
I prefer something rougher, however if it means I can bring my nieces with me and eventually when I'm an adult and have my own family, I'm fine with that though I'll still add teh rough stuff when I can
The older I get the more I agree.
Facts
I'm from Midwest but now live in southwest Texas. Camping is fire, Coors, and guns. It's amazing.
The Roomba was perfect 😅
The glamper is spot on, i know people who spend half the day just unpacking and setting everything up when they arrive
Guilty, but I honestly enjoy it! It's that first & final bit of "me time" after/before the long drive, crammed together in the car.
I'm not quite at the bunting-&-fairy-lights stage, but I can see it without a telescope. 😂
I gotta call you back my roomba’s running away, I died.
That was hilarious.
I feel bad enough, bringing a whisk broom! 😅
You forgot the Bro camper. They bring a bunch of 30 racks, an inner tube, Rainbows, and a cheap sleeping bag & tent they bought as a combo pack for $90 from Target that morning. Then they just float drunk in any body of water for 3 days. When they finally emerge from the water after 3 days, they explain “dude, I got to shit so bad.”

@@BMMEC6000 it's really not that hard; in fact it's actually pretty boring. That's why the TV "survival" shows have to make up all those whacky scenarios to keep it interesting.

I love camping in the back of my 4RUNNER! It holds all of my gear and I can change spots in a minute if need be.

Perfect timing, I was watching the last few episodes of Yuru Camp
My go to is a small three person popup tent with an air mattress that covers half of the floor, leaving me plenty of floorspace for my bag and tools. And my solar panel.
We had a friend join us while we were camping once and he brought one of those outdoor shower things...that immediately broke when he tried to use it. Lol
😂😂😂
I have one it works great heats water really fast never broke on my either but it's literally just an bag with a spout. I shower butt naked outside at my cabin good thing it's really secluded I wouldn't wish that horrible sight on anyone.
I find a pack of Wet Wipes is a much less chilly, more private, & less effort way of getting clean.
5 minutes a day, in the warmth of your tent; bam, clean.
Just gotta remember to pack them back out.
I feel insulted and praised at the same time XD “The Expert” fits my family almost perfectly. We have pudgy pies, we sometimes backpack camp(though recently we got a bit tent and used cots- we all agreed it was glamping), we have- my mind is blanking on the name of it... the freeze dried food water boiler thing you showed-, we have all camped in Colorado, my parents have gone to another one of the places mentioned...
oh, my dad and I sometimes timed ourselves to see how fast we could put the tent up together! We got it down to one or two minutes. And the new big tent we have gotten down to three! It would be less but because we have only set it up three times we sometimes pause to figure out what was next.

I love camping, my favourite thing to do is find a nice spot to see the sunrise during day, and going there to see the sunrise in the morning, it’s so pretty, and the birds are beautiful. And reading a book in a hammock is nice to, and so is the fire, obviously
Also I want to add another type of camper, the "I like camping but I'm just gonna stand here taking in the scenery while you do all the work". I always camp with my friend because I don't really know anyone else with a car who will go camping with me, but it's like I do everything. I have all the gear at my house except a few things, and without fail she always forgets at least one of the few things she was supposed to bring. Then I have to do all the driving because she has such bad anxiety that she can only drive in our neighborhood and anything else makes her panic, so she can't do any highways or mountain roads. Then when we get there, I have to take everything from the car to the site, if I want her to do anything I have to specifically tell her "hey can you grab that cooler and bring it down, hey can you grab these two bags and bring them down?" even though she knows the first thing we do is bring al the coolers and bags down so we can chill, ever time, for the last 2 years. But instead she stands there looking at trees for 10 minutes, then sits at the picnic table to rest (from sitting in the pasenger's seat for the last hour) and load her pipe while watching me carry all the bags, instead of making the connection in her brain "oh maybe I should help with the bags first, and then we can both sit down and rest together" nope, I have to prompt her every single time. Then when it's time to put up the tent, I say "okay we should put the tent up before it gets dark" and I go and start taking things out of the tent bag, and she sits there and keeps watching me do everything until I say "uh hey can you maybe help me with this and do the other pole or something?" almost like she thinks she isn't allowed to just help without me asking her to, it's wild. And then the whole time she acts like she's super tired and worn out from all these tasks when she didn't even do any of them lol and then I also do all the cooking because she knows how to cook but just refuses to, if I even tell her what bags are which and that she can eat whenever or get some milk or juice if she wants, she'll sit around and then ask me if she can get this or if I can make some food instead of ever just taking the initiative. If I was camping alone I'd never even need to cook because I eat way less food when camping than I do normally at home (just a natural thing, I have very little appetite when I'm more physically active even though that seems opposite of what it should be, don't ask me why lol) but she's also really picky, like if I grab a side of Knorr pasta or rice or something easy she laments that "aw there's not really any real meat in that is there" because she can't imagine going one night without some chicken or beef in her dinner or go one night without hot food freshly cooked up for her, we've even had to leave and go into town to get fast food to appease her childish appetite. Sometimes it just gets annoying that I feel like the parent in an adult friendship.
honey... honey. there are girls out there who pull their weight and put effort into being creative... colored flames fire, games, special treats, decorate the site, itineraries for sightseeing, etc. she's lazy and childish and you're letting her... look around 🙏
you are a really good friend for putting up with all of that.
It does suck when you feel like you're putting in way more effort than others. And it's never fun feeling bossy when you expect others to take initiative and help out unprompted. I wonder if this friend really wants to go camping at all? Maybe they think it's your fun time and they're just keeping you company? So they feel entitled to get a free ride out of the deal? I'd have a conversation and ask if they even want to go. And just go alone. You can clearly do everything by yourself, so you might as well not be resentful towards someone while you're out in nature trying to have a good time. Or make new friends who like camping. 😊
Man i'd love to go camping with someone else who knows how to camp proper! I uh...i just need someone who can chop the firewood for me. I just can't seem to get the knack of it. I eat less when i camp too! And i love a hot cooked meal...but i make a bunch of tinfoiled wrapped meals that i freeze then just cook in the campfire.
Holy shit I just ran across this again and I remember when I saw it while staying in Banff (not camping, bf is a glamper and demanded a hotel) and I thought this video was from a camping channel. But now I realize it was Charlie. This was the first video I ever saw from you, either this or the If Airlines Were People one. I know I commented before but wow, you’ve just been so influential on my feed without me even realizing it.
I haven't been camping in a few years,so this is as close as I'll get
🇺🇸
This year was my first time in a long time. The mosquitos got me😂
the vicarious camper
I haven’t been camping in a few months
@@kaydincathey dang ticks too, bad bug year.
Thank you for the outtakes. Thank you from a Green Day and Subaru fan. We just arrived at home from a weekend in my new trailer, cheers
Charlie, did you really urinate on camera?
Can we get a part two of this where you include the "everything's going to kill me" camper AND you sing the entire song of "Time of Your Life"?
You want him to get mauled by a moose? This is how you stay safe
@ashley justice it sure looked like it eh lol
This is fantastic!! Too true, but there definitely are many more types of campers.
OMG, I'm dying! I think I'm a combo of all types. 🤣
Oh my gosh we just went camping and had all these people camping with us. 2-ply 😂, sob many funny things in this video!
Thanks for the laugh.
The only time I camped in a tent, we had an air mattress and I brought raid for the bugs. 🤣 I was 20. Now I live in the woods. This was hilarious.
I really appreciate all of that Duluth gear you're wearing, people give me shit for this all the time when I moved to Texas.
My aunt decided to camp for a few months. She's a bona-fide hippie and all natural so clearly she had no use for toilet paper.
_Until she used poison oak in the middle of the night!_
Ooof..😂
I don’t even know what poison oak looks like….poison ivy? Yes. Oak? Not so much.
My fiancé is a “chef” when we camp. Every time we go camping he wants to cook like a Thanksgiving feast over the fire. On his dream camping trip We don’t hike, we don’t swim, we cook and spend hours and hours and hours by the fire.
I need to add vegan and dairy free mac and cheese to my shopping list today. And I love kombucha too! The "expert" was hilarious and spot on. Greetings from California! :)
Been camping since I was a kid. glamping is the goal, survivalist is the reality.
