- I met Dan at the 2023 Old Car Festival in Greenfield Village. He had a full assortment of camping gear from the 20's and 30's including a vintage Model T pop up tent trailer as well as a lean-to car tent and a stand alone canvas tent. He also had a full assortment of authentic antique camping equipment that was still fully functional. If you are into car camping and doing it in style, this is a must see video. Dan fully explains each piece of equipment that he has collected over a 30 year time-frame.
When I am not making images for my normal (if there is such a thing) bodies of work as a photographer, I make plenty of fun videos for my Model A or other related videos from that time period that you can find on this channel too. Be sure to check them out.

As to gear, I shoot a variety of full frame Nikon cameras and lenses. Most everything is shot on a tripod to produce the sharpest images possible.

My 1930 Ford Town Sedan has eyebrow fenders and still has the original interior. It's certainly worn but it still is functional. I have rebuilt the driveline, suspension, and tie rods, installed a modernized Model A motor with oversized intake valves, insert bearings, and a high compression head. I also have a lightened flywheel and V8 clutch. The car comfortably cruises at 50MPH but I've had it up to 60MPH. I have also insulated and installed sound deadener which has made the car enjoyable to be in even at 90 degrees.

Reminds me of a camping trailer that my Grandfather built in the 1930s during the depression. He worked for Bennett Fuel Company in Grand Rapids Michigan, hauling coal. In the summer they would lay him off. To save money on rent they would camp along the grand river north of Grand Rapids during the summer. They rented a space in a cow pasture for $5 for the whole season. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s we still had the trailer portion of that camp trailer. It had a 32 Ford axle and wheels on it.
Hi and welcome to the channel! Thanks for subscribing and for sharing this story.
Absolutely amazing! Mr. Hershberger has assembled an epic time capsule. Literally a mobile museum.
It sure is! I would love to have some of this collection for my own Model A
My grandparents went camping regularly like that back in the 30s. Our pictures show them in dressed in suits and ties and dresses. Probably normal everyday attire then.
That's awesome!
Car camping equipment now we know a great history lesson from this knowledgeable gentleman
He was amazing to listen to in person.
Hell yes. Real camping.
It sure is!
1:24 the Great Depression had a big impact on the increase in car camping, because lots of families were moving around the country trying to find work and start fresh.
Hi David and welcome to the channel. I think it certainly had a big impact.
Great video! The rv museum in Indiana has a beautiful model T camping setup as well. Thanks for sharing.
I visited it when I was there and will be doing a video on it!
The trailer is essentially the same design as the Sylvansport Go... very cool....
some things haven't changed too much in the course of a hundred years... that old Coleman stove is very cool....
All that gear is amazing!
Wonderful collection! Thanks for making this available to see!
My pleasure!
Mr Smith, what a hoot! Back in the day that was the best you could get.Great way to camp with a canvas tent,i love the smell you get from the original material. Back in the late 60's my father, uncle and I camped way up in the north woods of Maine. I can still remember it.That gentlemen was awesome, with a great storyline. Thx Ken.
Glad you enjoyed it Dean!
Super cool.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome installment, Ken! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity and privilege of watching this! I first went camping with my maternal grandparents at roughly age 6. I actually remember the outing and I've been hooked on camping ever since!
God's Blessings Sir and please keep 'em comin'!
Glad you enjoyed it and ma He extend His blessings to you too!
Cool to see in the present day. I have a box of hundreds of film negatives from my mother’s family. It includes many pictures of them camping in the 1910s and 1920s using gear much like this.
Hi and welcome to the channel! Sounds like you have a treasure chest full of negatives!
Excellent Ken! Those generations before us really figured out how to "get 'r' done". Thank you for your investigating reporting!!!
Hey John! Glad you enjoyed the video!
That was fascinating
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Tops Ken, very interesting! Wow you look like a teenager, lol.
But a very great topic!👍🏼🤝
Hey Myron! Thanks so much!
Fantastic video!! A really nice collection. Thanks for showing us!!
Thank you too! I appreciate it!
That was really cool and interesting! Thanks for sharing your video. God bless
You are so welcome!
Sweet video ken, don’t know why this was recommended to me but I’m glad it was!
Hi and welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed it!
That was very good. Does he have a website? I have some 60+ camp gear and need to see about getting a Coleman lantern over hauled
I'm glad you enjoyed it. He did not mention anything to me about having a website.
If I had the amenities that Ford, Firestone, and Edison did, why not!!!
You are spot on!
EXCELENTE VIDEO, PARABÉNS.
Hi and welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed the video!
110%
Agreed!
Today's car designs compared to the early Ford days, I'd choose then.
Me too and thanks for subscribing!
Leaded gasoline taste, no other flavor like it…
or smell like it!
i've been camping in way worse
Me too but it still looks pretty cool!
@@kensmithgallery4432 yes it does!
