I’m an absolute beginner and haven’t been any camping yet. Yours is the first channel which is source of comprehensive camping knowledge. Rarely anyone covers even how to book a campsite which can be a mystery to a beginner like me. Thank you very much!
I'm excited that you are going camping! Hope you have an awesome trip. Any little thing I can do to help people get out and enjoy nature, especially in a tent. Thanks for watching. Cheers.
Our family of 6 is headed to Smoky Mountains in Tennessee in a few days. I haven't tent camped since Boy Scout days (over 30 years ago) and I'm honestly a little nervous m😅 Thanks for the tips and advice! Subscribed! 👍🏻
Thank you very much, my goal is to encourage and help people get out and enjoy camping and nature, much appreciated! Any questions don’t hesitate to ask!
Thank you, my goal is to encourage people to get out and end enjoy the wilderness, it doesn’t have to be expensive, just get out there. Thank you for watching !
I camp but not a lot but I don't understand why why coming and going people don't remember this rule: Pack it in - Pack it out. This is very important as well as equipment.
I highly recommend if possible always use a air pump if you can. Blowing up that blue sleeping pad by mouth will cause condensation and eventually turn your inside gross and moldy quick.
Depending on your back a air mattress is not for everyone I have a spastic nerve in my back and I have to have a more firm place to sleep without waking up with back pain. So a cot will work better for me but that’s also a higher cost etc
Hi Chris I’m going solo camping/first time camping in a few weeks in the Sierra Nevadas. It’s a proper campsite but I’m nervous about black bears in the area. I was planning on snacking in my tent, making s’mores, etc. How would one go about storing food and tent snacking?
Great question. Rent a cabin ! Kidding. First of all you should never have any food in your tent, even the smallest amount could attract hungry critters large and small. Keep your food and scented products in a bag and suspend them from a rope over a line between two trees if possible, or keep the food a good distance away from your tent. I cook on the campfire all the time (including s’mores)and I clean my dishes right away or keep them away from the tent where my food would be, usually in my vehicle. As for the larger animals (bears) I recommend getting some bear spray which has proven to be effective, make sure you are given directions from the retailer and read the instructions. Typically if a campground is busy you don’t often have issues with bears but anything can happen, not to scare you. The only item I have in my tent is water. There are bear proof containers available which is also an option. I hope this was helpful and I wish you an awesome camping trip. Feel free to message me with any other questions. Let me know how it goes !! The Sierra Nevadas is on my list also !! Happy camping ⛺️
Well the basic camping gear is obviously a tent, air mattress and sleeping bag. The tent in this video I bought used for $100, in very good condition. Air mattresses come in a wide range of sizes and thickness which would determine the cost, however used is always an option. Just be careful with used air mattress that it truly doesn't leak. I have found some quality air mattresses on Amazon for under $100 as well. Sleeping bags are personal preference for size and warmth. I have always promoted to buy used gear as much as possible to safe money and reduce waste. I find most of my used items on Facebook Marketplace and Kijiji, however there are several local buy and sell options as well. If you buy a used tent be sure to set it up before purchasing and look for any damage such as; zippers that don't zip completely, any seams that the stitching is torn or the seam tape is pulling away, bent poles, missing tie downs and pegs, and any obvious tears or "home repairs". Hope this was helpful and good luck finding some gear. Cheers.

That is a very good point to mention in my upcoming videos!
I agree. I can’t stand litterbugs.
I highly recommend if possible always use a air pump if you can. Blowing up that blue sleeping pad by mouth will cause condensation and eventually turn your inside gross and moldy quick.
Great point, I normally do, I was demonstrating how easy it is to fill by mouth. I will mention it in a future episode. Thank you !

@@StephenKoshal-d7f Well it depends on what you have and what you need. I recommend looking for used items to begin.
Good stuff
Thank you and thanks for watching, hope it was useful.
what if we cant afford a 1200 dollar tent and 400 for a mattress pad? any tips for people on a budget?

What kind of fuel does that little stove use?
It uses white gas “camp fuel”
