    Someone is hitting the big time now! Congrats on a requested review from Temu. I like the utensil set and I’m really curious about the car camping blanket. Like that it draws less power. Hope it will work well.

      Thank you! It's still a bazillion degrees out here; so who knows when I'll be able to give it a real test. I thought I might be able to, this last trip, since it got down in the 50s at night, but I was quite comfy at those temps, and never turned it on.

    The bug zapper is supposed to be used in the dark. The fly wasn’t attracted to the light. They do work great for mosquitoes in your vehicle at night. I’ll turn mine on about an hour before bed with all windows and doors closed. The clothes washer is only good for undies, and lightweight T-shirts.

    • @ShoestringMartha
      @ShoestringMartha  ปีที่แล้ว

    🧐 Not sure if that collapsible toilet could handle the tonnage of the average American. However, a cheap little 2gal home improvement store pale does. It's only a $12 setup: pale, lid & toilet bowl cleaner. 👌 20yrs, it's served me well out on the road! Nice thing about it, it's short enough to "use" inside most vans & suvs. They take up less space too. * They're the original "squatty potty!" 👍

    • @ShoestringMartha
      @ShoestringMartha  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Point taken! 😂 My 5gal served me well for a long time, but yeah, the space it took up. I did pack it with gear, so that helped justify the space it took up. A 2 gal would have been a real space saver!

  • @roamingcali
    @roamingcali ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have the utensil set (via Amazon) and love it. It is my camping utensil set.
    I need to look into the collapsible toilet. Mine is bulky. I have a VW Tiguan and need all the space I can get re: packing.

    • @ShoestringMartha
      @ShoestringMartha  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Wow a Tiguan would be snug- much respect!
      I made the bucket work by stuffing my rug and other stuff into it, but its rigidity really reduced the options for storage. I need to plan a boondocking trip to try out the new gear.

      ​@cosycovevlog3260 I sleep in the Tiguan and love it. I'm 5'2 and can sit up in it fully. Because I am height challenged, my front seat it up far. So, my mattress fits perfectly. I have the mattress fully spread out. I use the picnic table or my camp table nearby for cooking.
      I did get a roof cargo carrier to hold gear.
      At camp, the front passenger seat is my pantry for dried goods (soft cooler) and water jugs in the footwell. Provided I am not in bear country.

      ​@@ShoestringMartha I mainly camp at state parks so the entire SUV is my sleep area. If I had to do half, it would be snug for me and my dog.
      I pack items in my bucket toilet too. It made me realize that I will keep using it. The bucket holds the commode bags, cat litter bag, and other items for my bathroom set-up.

    Ok I have the same Joulle pot and I really like it.. Only issue I have is that after using for awhile, the top no longer fits snug.. Make great popcorn with coconut oil and garlic salt though.. I use the auto off setting to get it up to temp then switch to popcorn mode.. I also use a 12v electric through that works great and turns itself off after 2 hours to prevent accidents..I have same mosquito zapper and no it does not work on flies.. For them I use a trick I learned when I lived on a sailboat and it works pretty well.. Take a quart zip lock bag and fill it with water.. Some say add a shiny penny to the water, then hang the bag in sunlight close to where you are sitting or on a picnic table.. The light refracting through the water drives the flies nuts because how their eyes are constructed with facets on them. They become disoriented and stay away..

    • @ShoestringMartha

      I believe that! I might drink from a vessel or quickly cook in it, but I might worry about leeching, by letting any liquid sit in it or simmer in it for a length of time, or cooking at high heat. Everyone has their own risk threshold, which I respect.

      exactly. Being they've been repeat offenders for downloading a ton of Malware to your phone which actually does access personal data and ability to hack your email and bank accounts. Same with Tik Tok - too many issues with stolen data.... I would be embarrassed and angry with myself if these hackers did manage to get access to my bank, social media accounts, and email accounts and then later threatened to release whatever stolen data unless I paid the ransom all in the name of buying cheap plastic things from China (where safety is a concern as their regulations is extremely lose) that I only saved $5.... pretty sure I'd rather pay $5 more for an item than possibly deal with identity theft and lose all my money and possibly posting something under my name that would get me canceled

I've dealt with temu over the past year and no issues whatsoever outside of them texting me and notifications of promotional stuff. Imo people are hating on temu because they're under pricing (if that's a word lol) people in the US. Temu is no more dangerous than Facebook. Actually Facebook worries me more than any other site simply because if I search for something on Google or talk to a friend about something specific, that will pop up in an ad on my Facebook feed almost immediately

    my portable toilet is a 3 gallon bucket with the seat on it. will a 4gallon trash bag fit in yours? or do you need to use a 8 gallon. i believe it is coleman who makes them, but your temu table has been on the market for decades. mine is a small canvas 24 x 24. cloth collaspable one. have cut a piece of plywood for a sturdy top. like the minnow trap for mudbugs. now you got me thinking how to pack the 20 qt pot & a stove for doing a boil while camping with some fresh bugs.
