My favorite thing about these videos (besides Gunther, of course) is the attention to the meals and cocktails. It has me adding a whole different experience level to my own trips. It's so easy to pack the standby camping meals, but now I want to think outside the box. I need to watch Pinterest more, apparently.
I lived in AZ for about 25 years of my 66 years and I loved the nature we were able to experience! Now we live in CO just north of the NM border west and the nature is as beautiful as we love to experience. Love your videos! 24:49
I'm getting ready to take my annual October in Michigan campout - tent camping during the fall color season. Loved your fall vibes and am looking forward to your recipe video so I can give a few of them a try during my trip. Also adding the mini dutch oven to my wish list...
Your videos have changed the way I camp. I used to put every bit of gear in the SUV only to end up using half of it. Thanks to you, I pack for each trip and have upped my camp cooking game to make it a culinary adventure. Not quite enough to do pie irons yet, but I do copy your recipes, especially the happy hour ones. ;). I also appreciate that you tell us your locations. Very helpful since I am also in AZ. I'm going to look into HipCamps because campgrounds just are not doing it for me. Thanks and happy trails!
Right on! I like that they often have conveniences of campgrounds, but with fewer people. If you haven't signed up yet, you can use my code and get $10 off your booking: www.hipcamp.com/i/shoestringmartha
@@ShoestringMartha Thanks! I don't see many in Cottonwood/Clarkdale though. I will definitely sign up. P.S. I think my favorite was when you boondocked on the Mogollan Rim. That was cool.
Good morning. Just caught this video and really enjoyed it. New subscriber. Searching for install advice for the roof case brought me to your earlier video. Good stuff. Hope you got to unwind....the cocktail was creative and definitely fit the incoming fall season. Thanks again
Wow what a beautiful camp site and surrounding scenery..as a landscape artist it doesnt get better, i could stay there for a long time...ty for sharing..take care.
😁 I would have chosen that campsite just for the tree, too! It was absolutely amazing! I'm looking forward to the cooking part of this camping adventure. Loved the apple butter drink idea. 😊
For real is it fall yet... I'd planned a quick hop over to Mt Lemmon this past weekend and didn't go bc it was going to be 90 up there 😮 Good timing on your trip! Thanks for sharing more clever ideas.
Just found your channel. I am leaving today for a first time solo trip overnight in my 4Runner. Got some great ideas from you! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Just finished watching your video, love your set up. Love Gunther too❤ Makes me want to go camping very soon, been raining almost every evening here so it will be challenging but will be good training too🙂🏕
When we moved to AZ and were planning our first foray into Arizona Culture, I convinced my fiance that we should go to see the "toozigoots." Medium sized rodents similar to marmots but aclimatized to the desert. He searched and sesrchrd and never found any.
Last year in May when I took my 6 wk trip through AZ. I also stayed at that Hipcamp. What I noticed at my time there was this really weird noise coming from the water… I couldn’t figure out what it was, but I don’t hang out very long outside in the dark. It was a nice place in the Verde Valley.
Another great video, as always! Can't wait for the Tiny Dutch Oven vids. Also, I think you were also going to let us ladies know how the new bathroom solution is. I've been curious about it. seems like the advantage and disadvantage is where the hand hold is located. 😆
Too early to give a definitely verdict, but first impressions were positive. Much comfier than the old container and despite my concerns about the snap cap (versus screw cap), it was very secure. Cleaning does require some disassembly (removing the funnel), but I was unbothered by it.
I was fully committed to cooking over the fire and didn't bring any back-ups! Nearly roasted it over the candle, but then it would be "winter flannel" flavored. 😂
Thanks! Love the Bluetti but it's definitely way more than I need and takes up too much space. I have been using my Ecoflow, eventhough I still can't charge it with AC power.
I thought for sure that you were going to pull out your handy little butane torch to roast the cheese for your savory smores when it was too hot for a fire!
@@ShoestringMartha lol. Yes maam..I won't do it. Hope to order 2 stickers soon. Waiting for payday. I got brave and made pizza in a pie iron...it was ok!! Thank you for teaching me
@@ShoestringMartha OMG you are amazing! Thanks for the tips! My daughter just told me I want to go explore. Jerome, and then I watched your video this morning, and called her and said I know where we're camping 😁
@@stphns1737 Nice! Yeah Jerome is right up the road from Clarkdale! Thanks for reminding me that I need to leave a nice review for this Hipcamp. Cool spot, great hosts. They didn't all make it into the video, but there were actually 3 deer sightings - one on the way in, a doe and fawn at empty camp spot next door in the morning, and another on the way out.
I have this one! It does fit with all its legs (if you hook the front one over the folded rear seat), but by removing the front and back ones, I got a few more inches of wiggle room for the fridge. amzn.to/4drJYaQ
For the short end, I have one of these collapsible crates: amzn.to/3TNhlOg The mini camp kitchen is the bigger crate, at the foot (the tall end) amzn.to/3N8YDwQ
Just watched a korean man about ammo can coffee kit....saying how he was so inspired by "MARTHAS SHOESTRINGS" I THOUGHT ID DIE LAUGHING!!!! then he apologized for saying your channel name wrong!!! Hope you saw him
@ShoestringMartha yes..enjoyed his video..but Martha's shoestrings just cracked me up!!!!! Figured you knew but if not just wanted to share the funny!! You are well respected by many!

Thank you! I watch a lot of Reels. It's like TikTok for old people. 😆
As if you could forget the most important member of the camping trip! We love us Gunther!
Never!!
I will never get tired of Gunther and his tiny legs. I love him.
"I sleep like a rotisserie chicken." 😂👏

I am familiar with the area and agree, it is lovely there!
That was a nice campsite.
Thank you for letting us come along and enjoy your get away with you! It is so nice to set back, relax and forget about the rest of the world.🙂
Gunther is the most awesome little co-pilot !
He really is ☺️
I love how you experiment with flavors!
"Bark Ranger", love it. So sweet how you waited for "Jedi" to wake up. I'm in Tucson - can't wait to get out!
He is just not a morning person. After a pee, some water and breakfast, he's ready to go back to bed. 😂
Looks like Gunther had a 'hard day' being a Bark Ranger!! LOVE your lil dutch oven!
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it! 🐾
I need that beer button 🙂
Someone needs to get on making them a reality! 😆
@@ShoestringMartha No kidding!!!
That modified box for your roof looks like it's working well. The snack has me missing Ry-Krisp.
Every trip I find different things to stash up there 😊
Such a beautiful tree to camp under, and the sound of the birds was so peaceful. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you! You too!
Scratch a pile of shavings first then spark. You did great with the dryer lint!

Hoping to have that one out around the 9th. Your trip sounds lovely -- have a wonderful time! 🍂
I am going to add this location to my list, it is lovely. The ruins were cool. Gunthers little feet clicking along. He is too cute!❤

Thank you, and I did! Just being under the trees and hearing the rushing water was good for the soul.
Wow what a beautiful camp site and surrounding scenery..as a landscape artist it doesnt get better, i could stay there for a long time...ty for sharing..take care.
Love the nite cap drink ideas! Another great video :)
😁 I would have chosen that campsite just for the tree, too! It was absolutely amazing! I'm looking forward to the cooking part of this camping adventure. Loved the apple butter drink idea. 😊
Couple more weeks and it’ll be dropping golden leaves 😍
Hurray for sweata weatha! 🍁🍂 Excited for the next campfire cooking video to come. 🥾⛰️🇨🇦❤️
Cocktail parties at your house have to be amazing!
lol my annual Repeal Day Party used to be pretty lit. 😂 I'm an old fart now and don't entertain anymore.
For real is it fall yet... I'd planned a quick hop over to Mt Lemmon this past weekend and didn't go bc it was going to be 90 up there 😮 Good timing on your trip! Thanks for sharing more clever ideas.
So over this extended remix of Summer 😭 I have a feeling - and a hope - maybe 10-12 days and it’ll be done 🤞🏻 Hang in there!
My little 3 year old grandson calls Baby Bells "cheese cookies"
I love that!
Just found your channel. I am leaving today for a first time solo trip overnight in my 4Runner. Got some great ideas from you! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Welcome! Hope your trip was lovely!
Well, it was fall for 2 days last week! 09/21 & 09/22/2023) 🤨
Great video. 👍
Gunther is the cutest!!
I was lucky enough to be out during that cool, false Fall that only last a few days. It could be have been worse!
Love the bird identification info on the side bar! Thank you!
Props to the Merlin app for helping me nerd out on birds 🤓
Just finished watching your video, love your set up. Love Gunther too❤ Makes me want to go camping very soon, been raining almost every evening here so it will be challenging but will be good training too🙂🏕
Challenging for sure, but so nice to sleep in. 🌧️
When we moved to AZ and were planning our first foray into Arizona Culture, I convinced my fiance that we should go to see the "toozigoots." Medium sized rodents similar to marmots but aclimatized to the desert. He searched and sesrchrd and never found any.
Omg - priceless! 🤣🤣🤣
Gunther says WOW...now I get to look around..it's hard when I'm only 4inches tall. LOL

Ok that is creeeeeepy 😳 But I would take it over an all day and night biker festival concert any dang day 🙉
Love your content! 💓 thank you for sharing your outdoor adventures with us! Happy autumn! 🍂🍁🎃

BARK RANGER!!! ❤
I am putting Tuzigoot on my List. I have been to Montezuma Castle, which I think was Sinaguan as well.
I believe you are correct! We went there... sometime in the Spring, I think. th-cam.com/video/0Qb9LrkBXls/w-d-xo.html
You should have used the little orange square cook stove from Temu to roast the cheese. Looking forward to the next cooking video 😁
I was fully committed to cooking over the fire and didn't bring any back-ups! Nearly roasted it over the candle, but then it would be "winter flannel" flavored. 😂
😂@@ShoestringMartha
Love Better Help. ❤
I use canvasback from my 4runner helps to protect the back.
I’ve been looking at those!
I like your new setup. Are you still using and liking the Bluetti to power the fridge? Thx.
Thanks! Love the Bluetti but it's definitely way more than I need and takes up too much space. I have been using my Ecoflow, eventhough I still can't charge it with AC power.
I thought for sure that you were going to pull out your handy little butane torch to roast the cheese for your savory smores when it was too hot for a fire!
😆 I did think about it. I was just worried it would taint the cheese flavor. Might have been worth a shot anyhow!
Don't let coyotes get our gunther😢
Where did you get the cot you’re currently using? I can’t find any that fits lengthwise in my 4Runner. Hi Gunther!
Gunther says heyyyyy! The cot is this one: amzn.to/4gV5SX5
@@ShoestringMartha thank you!
Savory smores 👍
Record scratch...Sept 29th 114°
Please! Fall arrive!! Please!
gol'dang false Fall!! ✊
Yay! 15k!
I should really get outdoors for my birthday, shouldn't I? (goofy-face-emoji)
*almost* 15k... at the current rate, mayyyybe around the 21st 🤞 Happy birthday and you should definitely celebrate outdoors 🥳
Checked out your pie iron sticker...had a stupid idea. Thought about putting it on my pie iron...lol. yup..stupid idea.
lol would be the shortest lived decal ever 😂
@@ShoestringMartha lol. Yes maam..I won't do it. Hope to order 2 stickers soon. Waiting for payday. I got brave and made pizza in a pie iron...it was ok!! Thank you for teaching me
Geesh, I’m such a nube, I thot Blackwidows only lived around houses😜
They like any kind of hidey-hole, anywhere 👀
Hi Martha. I love your videos. What is the drink scoop that you have for dog water?
Thank you! They don't sell our exact brand anymore, but this one is pretty darn close: amzn.to/4dnl1gQ
@@ShoestringMartha Thank you!
I am going to buy apple butter and fireball :)
In the Summertime, leftover berry jam + whiskey + seltzer + lemon is very refreshing. 😉
@@ShoestringMartha OMG you are amazing! Thanks for the tips! My daughter just told me I want to go explore. Jerome, and then I watched your video this morning, and called her and said I know where we're camping 😁
@@stphns1737 Nice! Yeah Jerome is right up the road from Clarkdale! Thanks for reminding me that I need to leave a nice review for this Hipcamp. Cool spot, great hosts.

Luv ur videos. Can you please tell me what base(cot) you use to sleep on. Seems that you have so much room in the back. I don't know how you do it!!
I have this one! It does fit with all its legs (if you hook the front one over the folded rear seat), but by removing the front and back ones, I got a few more inches of wiggle room for the fridge. amzn.to/4drJYaQ
Thank you for replying to me. One last question .. what size of bins are u using to put under this cot?
For the short end, I have one of these collapsible crates: amzn.to/3TNhlOg The mini camp kitchen is the bigger crate, at the foot (the tall end) amzn.to/3N8YDwQ
