Hey a trick on the headlamps is if you pull it down around your neck when interacting with others around camp helps keeping the light out of others eyes as well
Nice 👍🏽😎 You can also strap them on a big jug or bottle of water pointing the light towards it and it lights all the water up like a lantern 😃🤙🏽 You might know that one already haha but, still cool 💡😁
I’ve been camping since the mid 1950’s and agree with your choice of gear. Things have gotten lighter and more versatile. I also think it’s a good idea to try out your gear in your own yard if possible to prevent a major disappointment far from home! Thanks for sharing and may I say that you guys make a great couple!!! The old Army Scout…
Awe thanks! ☺️ Glad you enjoyed the video! Oh yeah always smart to test your gear at home before you trust it in the wild! We were talking about that recently in another video actually! That’s one of the most common mistakes people make! Thanks again for the nice comment and thanks for watching 😊
I'd like to add a necessity when camping with children. We have 6! 😮 Bring a rubber door mat for tent entry so dirty shoes don't transfer mud/sand into sleeping area. Just rinse it off or shake it out each morning to "reset." Lol
In the military we called your camp shovel an entrenching tool. Ours had a short wood handle. Amazon has a lot of nice camping items. I've been using alcohol stoves for over 60 years and they have one that I like the Trangia. I modernized that style of burner with the Titanium Evernew Appalachian set. Titanium cools quicker and weighs a lot less. I get my big three items ( Backpack , Sleeping , Shelter ) from cottage industries. Some things haven't changed , I'm still old fashion , my coffee is cowboy coffee.
11:17 I have a similar one - withthe light, it casts the shadow of the grill (at the front). Not greatr if reading ...but... just dangle a white handkerchief over it, Boom! No shadows!
15 awesome camping accessories! I've migrated from old school primitive camping, to glancing with the family, and am now getting back into a simpler camping lifestyle. Some cool items here I need to pickup! Thanks for sharing! -Cody
Thanks! Yeah this stuff is pretty sweet 😊🤙🏽 Haha there is a time and place for each style of camping ya know, super fun sometimes just to backpack out there with as little as possible saving weight and using your survival skills, other times it’s nice to bring the kitchen sink and just have the whole family be as comfortable as possible.😊 Thanks for watching Cody! 👊🏽
6:38 I swear by my Sawyer mini water filter too! And I’ve owned lots of different water filtration devices through the years, this one wins in my book. I’d like to add 2 things: 1.) you can feel really good about this purchase( I think I paid 12 bucks for it) , because the company has given away ONE MILLION and counting to people in 3rd world countries, disaster areas, etc to help provide safe drinking water to the people there. 2) Don’t let it freeze! I always use the plastic syringe to push out any remaining water, and then keep it wrapped with reflectix insulation and stuffed between other items to avoid that. Once the core freezes, you need to go buy a new one. Always have a back up plan for water, obv. Anyway, great video!
Awesome, you guys. My wife and I are taking our 1st camping trip in a few weeks and we are binging your videos. Very informative and your chemistry together is so nice to see. Well done. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge!
They are the best for tips and recommendations and tgey always share links on Amazon! You guys have been our guide to getting into camping! Lol My husband and I pretty much bought all your recommendations and boom 💥 we were ready! Camped twice this year 😊
Bounce sheets put in your tent keeps spiders and bugs out of your tent. It really works, I used it on my boat in my cabin. Never saw spider in my cabin.
That’s smart I wanted to go camping recently so bad I was ready for the backyard turns out our tent won’t fit lol it’s massive didn’t realize 8 person tent was more like a twenty person tent
I've had that mini rocket stove probably for 15 years. When it was around 6 bucks. I have bought another set with the conversion adapter, feet, and pouch from walmart for about 12 bucks. Its just a backup, in case. My 2 absolute favorites out of about 15 coffee making contraptions are the gsi mesh net thing and the aeropress. Now with the aeropress having all the aftermarket stuff like the "espresso" adapter, storage cap, and k cup adapter its even more versatile. They are both soo easy to clean too. Another staple I love is the ohuhu gasifier stove. Can use solid fuel, sticks, and alcohol burner along with other options. A lot of my camping gear I've had since hiking sections of the AT yearly back over 30 years ago. I do have a sawyer mini and a steripen, but the katydyn hiker pro has served me well for around 35 yrs.
I love Dr Bronner's soap and use it at home but on the trail in bear county I'd suggest the unscented as bears like the smell of both mint and lavender. P.S. bees like the flower scents too.P.P.S. pinetar soap smells like a campfire and as yet it has never attracted any attention from wildlife.
I bought an Esbit Alcohol Backpacking Stove and fuel flask and love it. In Texas when we had the ice storm and no power for 6 days, i cooked breakfast and other meals on it. Boiled water also used my pour over funnel/ filter for coffee. It packs flat. It uses 91% alcohol but my favorite fuel is HEET.
Just subscribed today!! Thanks for the information. I’m 71 years old and can’t quite carry as much weight as I once did. I’ll be following your videos and sharing them with other “old-timers” like myself. Thanks again! Maggie from Nevada
Me and my husband just got into Camping. I was looking up camping videos and came across this video very helpful thank you so much. Yall are a beautiful couple as well 😊
Just sgaring, My stanley french press has seen over 700 pots made, it is not glass and use it to make larger meals for 2. I use it daily in my semi truck and have one on standby just in case I ever need it. 😂
Thank for posting products that you actually use !! I can get started camping without spending a arm and leg ! I can invest in solar etc .later can't wait to get started!!!
Great video to help get started. How I’m camping dictates what I bring. Glamping…2-3 different stoves 😂 My fire poker is an old golf club. An iron with the rubber handle. Club head never burns and the handle never gets hot.
I like the golf club idea. It would also be good when you are walking around looking for firewood too. Move the wood with your club before you pick it up to avoid snakes.
Thanks. I think we're pretty well matched--I use all those items, too.... Except I hate cleaning my French press, and when I want to leave-no-trace, it's next to impossible. Now I use an Aeropress exclusively--even at home.
New Subscriber here!! I just turned 45. I am in a mental and physical transition (midlife crisis lol) I have decided to do a modern "Walk About" in hopes of clearing the noise in my head and heart. So, I absolutely love your choices for gear! This video showed me everything I was wondering about! I am planning to vlog the whole 10 days and I will pin you do you can see how your suggestions work for others! Thanks again!
Hey welcome to the channel thanks for the support we really appreciate it! 😃 Glad you found this one helpful, hope you enjoy the rest of the content as well! Have a fun, safe, and refreshing trip! 😊🤙🏽
I know im late to the party... I like the pour over coffee device. Much lighter, nothing to break and delicious coffee. Im about to FT mini van life. Thanks for your suggestion!
Thanks so much! Such a nice comment. 👊🏽☺️ Yeah it’s really really cool to spend that time out there together sharing the same goal and excitement, and the same beautiful views and sounds of the environment. 🌅 Really sweet to see her catch some nice fish too! She’s getting good! 😍🎣😁🤙🏽 Thanks again for the comment we really appreciate it and thanks for watching the vids! Hope you enjoy them. 😊
You need a Mora. They can take a beating. Such a seriously great multifunctional knife. For showers, I got a drop in pump rechargeable from Amazon and use it in combination with the bag. Put water in bag to heat up a bit, use camp stove to boil water if needed to adjust temp in a 5 gallon bucket, drop pump in and take a nice hot shower. I’ve taken a 5 minute shower every day all week on one charge. It’s a necessity!!
Thanks for the video, that is a very good list! So nice to still discover new camping/hiking products! Yesss!! French press is a must for camping coffee 🥳
Thanks! 😃 All this stuff has been really great. We hear good things about the “Aeropress” also for coffee but we haven’t tried it yet because the French press is so good. 🤷🏻♂️😁 Thanks so much for the nice comment and for watching! ☺️
In the Marines the shovels we called E-tools (entrenching or entrenchment tool I forget which one) and that was hands down the most used item in my pack
Excellent video! Very good choices! I was reminded of some that I already have and a few I don't that I want to add to my collection. I love that you included sage! I never new of or thought of using it to keep bugs away. Thanks! : )
talking about shovels i actually have an old trench digging shovel from my grandfather definitely taking it out of storage for this it also still has a belt and canteen holster lol
Great advice on gear to bring, I’m so glad I found your channel, you have a new subscriber. I used to use a French press but probably for the past two years have been doing pour over coffee, I got a collapsible one that’s so light, while cooking on the Coleman stove I use the jet stove to heat up the water for coffee. Love your content and will be watching all the videos I’ve missed. Yes I’m one of those knife people too, but when I go camping I bring the less expensive ones, your right keep it clean and sharp what else do you need. Great couple ❤
Awe thanks so much! 😃☺️ Really appreciate the kind words and support. So glad you’re enjoying the channel so far! Think I know the little collapsible cup you mean! If it works well for you that’s awesome! Easy to travel with for sure. And lol nice I actually just got ANOTHER knife yesterday! 🤦🏻♂️😂 They’re just fun 🤷🏻♂️😃 I definitely try to only really beat up my cheaper ones as well but yup just gotta keep them clean and sharp and they do pretty well! Thanks again and thanks for watching! ☺️🤙🏽
I bought a camp stove from Walmart for $10-15. Next time I’ll spend an extra 5-10 to get a sturdier one. I recommend using a windscreen of some kind and putting a lid or cover over pot while heating to trap heat. Although not necessary it help. Windscreen is a big pro.
Wow, I already have numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and an equivalents of 6, 13 & 14. Of course, knives are in there as well. Great list guys and thanks for the video. Second video of yours I've watched and its enough to make me a subscriber.
Haha nice! 👊🏽😃 Some good stuff for the price, has served us really well. Thanks so much for the nice comment and thanks for the support we really appreciate it and hope you enjoy the channel! 👊🏽☺️
Hahahaha 😂😁 I usually prefer the long handle normal spoon personally so don’t feel bad, but the spork is definitely useful sometimes! And thanks so much we really appreciate it! ☺️🤙🏽
Love that these are long lasting!! Heads up, moxa (mugwort sticks) keep bugs away, is more widely abundant in nature than sage (more sustainable), and are easy to light and extinguish!
Really nice gear recommendations you two. I am ordering that fan today. It’s a must have in Florida if you don’t have power. I’ve brought 20” box fans camping already but it can get silly. Hee hawing back and forth on the pillow. Leaning towards a squishy one but it’s 3x the price. I’m not back packing so usually just grab my bed pillow but they can get damp and campy smelling. Besides I like designated camp gear. My gal says, “well I imagine you have all the camp gear you need.” I just smile and answer, “ you have no idea how big my imagination can get.” And also the sage is on order. I’ll try anything to curb the bugs. Just hope it works if I don’t do the yoga ritual with it. lol Blessings
Hahaha thanks glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️🤙🏽 The fan definitely helps, can find bigger ones that run on battery packs too if you want to spend up for them. The sage is great too. 😎
If you like French press coffee you have to try a bollita for drinking mate tee as coffee grind filter ways less than a French press and you get the same taste
awesome stuff! going camping/hiking with my 7 year old this weekend! got a few other items for him, smore's, jiffy pop, hot cocoa but trying to keep it light so we can go in and out without a mess.
My folding shovels remain at home. I carry a trowel. Not just any trowel. Over the years I’ve broken 5 or 6 trowels that were “just right”. Then, I got ahold of a “horri hkrri”. That’s Japanese for Dig! Dig!. Those trowels weigh much less than a folding shovel, and are as beastly strong. Not quite what a guy would use to fend off a bear - but getting close to it. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
I only reccomend those propane stoves to experienced campers. I can firsee firest fires everywhere if shtf. If you knock that over your screwed. Only use it if you buy a fire proof pad to put under it or use if you clear the area of leaves.
They’re pretty safe actually 😊 We’ve had the wind knock them over a couple times all good nothing happens really cause it’s tightly screwed into the little tank. There are also little plastic bases you can get for the tanks that make them even more stable. But yeah on rock, dirt, sand, picnic tables, decks, haha we have used that thing pretty much everywhere no problems. Definitely always good to be mindful of fire safety though that’s for sure 👍🏽😊
I use a Melita one-cup coffee maker. It sits on the cup with a coffee filter and coffee in it. Just pour boiling water over. One small piece is all you need. I just heat water in a small electric kettle plugged into my jackery. Easy clean-up.
french press are nice but i prefer a small personal percolator coffee maker myself. for knives i got lucky and got a full set of J A Henkel culinary knives from a thrift store for 20.00 when i go vanlife this coming year, i will be taking them with me.
Great vid! I actually have and use a few of those items. Just found yer channel and subscribed. You two project good energy and I like that. Great job!
I find the easiest way to have coffee while camping is just to bring a few individual packets of instant coffee powder that already has the milk powder mixed in. Not as tasty as real coffee but functions as a decent morning drink
Nice we’ve definitely smashed some instant on certain lightweight trips haha gets it done, it’s just a extra nice and comforting to make some fresh 😊🤙🏽
The stanley french press is great. You dont need a separate kettle and french press. i keep a small stanley cup and camp stove inside it. It can boil up to 20 oz of water. Enough for mountain house meals
Absolutely 😊 We actually have that linked in this video description I believe as a higher end option. 😁🤙🏽 They’re a little pricey for this video title haha but great. 😎
Thanks! 👊🏽😃 All depends on the environment really. For the most part we use two singles. If it’s really warm out we will just use a light quilt or sheet. If it’s extremely cold having the double sleeping bag can be nice so you can share body heat. 😊🤙🏽
You should add a Mora knife. They are inexpensive and very durable knives. As for that fan. I carried one when I did a bike ride across Iowa back in 2012, and it was so nice at night to have a breeze blowing on my face. I also carry a shovel, but I got mine from Cold Steel. As for knives, lets just say I've been collecting since the mid 80's and I know have over 50 :)
There’s also a number of folding chef knives on Amazon for around $20. I’ve made it a must have for my car camping loadout. For a lot of veggies or meat there’s cleaver options as well.
Great vid! Thanks! Reminded me of some updates and replacements, as well as some new to add! Love the French press you have! Yours looks like it's glass with what looks like may be a protective partial cover on it. Where would I get that protective cover? Thanks again! Happy and safe travels!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! That was just the French press we have had for years it just came like that. We have a few solid options linked in the description and I also replied to your other comment with the video link including the aeropress 👊🏽😊 Thanks again appreciate ya watching! ☺️🤙🏽
I've heard that the red light doesn't attract the bugs which would be a huge plus. I keep hearing over and over from other youtubers that the french press is the best for making coffee. Enjoyed the video and will probably end up subscribing at some point. Looking forward to checking out your other content. Cheers
Red light is definitely awesome for certain situations and absolutely attracts less bugs! And the French press is just tried and true ☕️😎🤙🏽 Glad you enjoyed the video, hope you enjoy the rest of the content as well, thanks for watching 👊🏽😊
Stanley does an awesome French press that you can boil the water in and it has a plastic sleeve with filter and spout. Best camping French press and it's practically indestructible! I highly recommend it!
Megabass 😎😎😎 Haha thanks man! I have too many fishing hats. 🤦🏻♂️😂😁🤙🏽 And no prob brother! All this stuff has been great don’t hesitate on any of em. 😊
Some good picks.. I also like using a camp pillow. A stuff sack just wasn't getting it done for me. I've never need a shovel when a stick will do. Thanks for the video
Appreciate ya man thanks for watching! 👊🏽😊 Pillow is definitely great to have and the shovel I honestly use all the time haha it’s just nice to be able to pick up an entire log and move it instead of like trying to roll it over with a stick ya know? 😂🤙🏽

Hey a trick on the headlamps is if you pull it down around your neck when interacting with others around camp helps keeping the light out of others eyes as well
Nice 👍🏽😎 You can also strap them on a big jug or bottle of water pointing the light towards it and it lights all the water up like a lantern 😃🤙🏽 You might know that one already haha but, still cool 💡😁
Also, wear it around you neck while sleeping so you don't lose it when you need to get up in the middle of the night to feed the fire or water a tree.
l rock the red light while at camp with others
Mine have a strap that goes down the middle of your head 😓
I guess now I gotta make a trip to REI and replace them…shucks 😉
You can also hold it in your hand like a normal lantern one.
For quick trips I wrap it around my wrist. Headlamps are much more flexible in use.

Thanks!
Awe thanks so much that’s so nice of you! 😃 Happy you enjoyed the video thank you again and thanks for watching we really appreciate it. ☺️🤙🏽
Nice tips. One for the older folks…that pillow, which I use for backpacking also make an awesome adjustable lumbar support when needed.
Thanks 😊 And nice! Haha yeah that thing has multiple uses for sure! Love it. 😁🤙🏽
Bounce sheets put in your tent keeps spiders and bugs out of your tent. It really works, I used it on my boat in my cabin. Never saw spider in my cabin.
Bounce sheets in your tent!? 😃 Never heard that one! How many do you use? Like just spread a few around the tent floor or what? 😃
It works well for keeping mice out of stored gear and vehicles. We spread them through out our RV.
Any scent or just the original? My kid HATES bugs 😂
That’s smart I wanted to go camping recently so bad I was ready for the backyard turns out our tent won’t fit lol it’s massive didn’t realize 8 person tent was more like a twenty person tent
I too would like to know more about this

Make sure your white sage is ethically sourced. Some areas are being over harvested, which is why it's harder to find.
I love Dr Bronner's soap and use it at home but on the trail in bear county I'd suggest the unscented as bears like the smell of both mint and lavender. P.S. bees like the flower scents too.P.P.S. pinetar soap smells like a campfire and as yet it has never attracted any attention from wildlife.
Absolutely we use the unscented too😊
Bears don't like the smell of Pinesol.spray around your tent and car
I have learned a shovel for a campfire is a must!!! We also use our knives a ton, a must!!! Happy camping xo 😊
Oh yeah... I LOVE our headlamps (almost typed headlights 😂😂😂) Bought 3 for $14 on sale, they are the best!!! ❤

As a coffee enthusiast also. I recommend swapping teapot and French press for a perculator. It does both of those things saving back pack space
Whatever you prefer ☕️😊🤙🏽

My fire poker is an old golf club. An iron with the rubber handle. Club head never burns and the handle never gets hot.

Excellent video! Very good choices! I was reminded of some that I already have and a few I don't that I want to add to my collection. I love that you included sage! I never new of or thought of using it to keep bugs away. Thanks! : )
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃🤙🏽
talking about shovels i actually have an old trench digging shovel from my grandfather definitely taking it out of storage for this it also still has a belt and canteen holster lol
Cool! 😎🤙🏽
Thanks for the great recommendations. Always great to find affordable items that have withheld up to actual use.
No problem! And yeah absolutely. 😊🤙🏽
Great advice on gear to bring, I’m so glad I found your channel, you have a new subscriber. I used to use a French press but probably for the past two years have been doing pour over coffee, I got a collapsible one that’s so light, while cooking on the Coleman stove I use the jet stove to heat up the water for coffee. Love your content and will be watching all the videos I’ve missed. Yes I’m one of those knife people too, but when I go camping I bring the less expensive ones, your right keep it clean and sharp what else do you need. Great couple ❤
Awe thanks so much! 😃☺️ Really appreciate the kind words and support. So glad you’re enjoying the channel so far! Think I know the little collapsible cup you mean! If it works well for you that’s awesome! Easy to travel with for sure. And lol nice I actually just got ANOTHER knife yesterday! 🤦🏻♂️😂 They’re just fun 🤷🏻♂️😃 I definitely try to only really beat up my cheaper ones as well but yup just gotta keep them clean and sharp and they do pretty well! Thanks again and thanks for watching! ☺️🤙🏽
Hey u guys, good call on that mini stove and pots. I had them b4 u stumbled a cross u guys ans they are crazy handy. Keep it up. Thanks!!
Nice! Yeah they’re pretty sweet we’ve gotten a lot of use out of them! Thanks for the nice comment and thanks for watching! 😊🤙🏽
I bought a camp stove from Walmart for $10-15. Next time I’ll spend an extra 5-10 to get a sturdier one. I recommend using a windscreen of some kind and putting a lid or cover over pot while heating to trap heat. Although not necessary it help. Windscreen is a big pro.
Thanks!
Awe that’s so nice thank you! 👊🏽😃
Stanley stainless steal French press. Works great
Yeah for sure it’s linked in the description as a more expensive option ☺️🤙🏽
I have that too, love it for when I’m camping close to the car
Good video. Some great ideas for much needed items to carry along thanks for the effort
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! 👊🏽😊 Appreciate the kind words and appreciate you watching. ☺️🤙🏽
Wow, I already have numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and an equivalents of 6, 13 & 14. Of course, knives are in there as well. Great list guys and thanks for the video. Second video of yours I've watched and its enough to make me a subscriber.
Haha nice! 👊🏽😃 Some good stuff for the price, has served us really well. Thanks so much for the nice comment and thanks for the support we really appreciate it and hope you enjoy the channel! 👊🏽☺️
Great video! Living large in the woods without breaking the bank. Gonna have to pick up a few of those items now I think.
Thanks man 👊🏽😃 Hahaha nothing too too crazy ya know but… all this stuff comes in handy for sure 😎🤙🏽
I guess I’m that rare creature who does not love a Spork. Seriously though, I really appreciate what you guys are doing here 🌸
Hahahaha 😂😁 I usually prefer the long handle normal spoon personally so don’t feel bad, but the spork is definitely useful sometimes! And thanks so much we really appreciate it! ☺️🤙🏽
Love that these are long lasting!! Heads up, moxa (mugwort sticks) keep bugs away, is more widely abundant in nature than sage (more sustainable), and are easy to light and extinguish!
Nice thanks for the recommendation we will have to try it out! 😃🤙🏽
Really nice gear recommendations you two. I am ordering that fan today. It’s a must have in Florida if you don’t have power. I’ve brought 20” box fans camping already but it can get silly. Hee hawing back and forth on the pillow.
Leaning towards a squishy one but it’s 3x the price. I’m not back packing so usually just grab my bed pillow but they can get damp and campy smelling. Besides I like designated camp gear. My gal says, “well I imagine you have all the camp gear you need.” I just smile and answer, “ you have no idea how big my imagination can get.” And also the sage is on order. I’ll try anything to curb the bugs. Just hope it works if I don’t do the yoga ritual with it. lol
Blessings
Hahaha thanks glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️🤙🏽 The fan definitely helps, can find bigger ones that run on battery packs too if you want to spend up for them. The sage is great too. 😎
Great reviews! also me and my gf love your guy's energy. Epic! 🤘
@@NothernNate Thanks! We really appreciate it! Hope you guys enjoy the videos thanks for watching 👊🏽☺️🤙🏽
Scrubzz waterless washcloths are awesome for camping as well. You can take a bath without having to rinse off
Interesting! Have to check those out thanks 😃🤙🏽
If you like French press coffee you have to try a bollita for drinking mate tee as coffee grind filter ways less than a French press and you get the same taste
My son and I are going more hard core in our camping. Hiking in and just our packs. First trip as soon as it starts to cool down. So excited!
Sweet! Hope you have a great time. 😎🤙🏽
awesome stuff! going camping/hiking with my 7 year old this weekend! got a few other items for him, smore's, jiffy pop, hot cocoa but trying to keep it light so we can go in and out without a mess.
Nice! 😃 Have fun be safe! 🏕️☺️🤙🏽
If you ever do a video about amazon car accessories for camping, we'd love to be considered!
Those trekology pillows are great. I bring a pillow case that I like to put over it to take it to the next level!
Yeah they get it done! 😃 And sweet! They came out with a newer one that actually comes with a decently soft washable pillow case 😊🤙🏽
Thank you for sharing 🙏☀️
The first two are such a good combination wow!
No problem glad you enjoyed it! 😊🤙🏽
My folding shovels remain at home. I carry a trowel. Not just any trowel. Over the years I’ve broken 5 or 6 trowels that were “just right”. Then, I got ahold of a “horri hkrri”. That’s Japanese for Dig! Dig!. Those trowels weigh much less than a folding shovel, and are as beastly strong. Not quite what a guy would use to fend off a bear - but getting close to it.

Nice. Always great for backpacking 🤙🏽
I only reccomend those propane stoves to experienced campers. I can firsee firest fires everywhere if shtf. If you knock that over your screwed. Only use it if you buy a fire proof pad to put under it or use if you clear the area of leaves.
They’re pretty safe actually 😊 We’ve had the wind knock them over a couple times all good nothing happens really cause it’s tightly screwed into the little tank. There are also little plastic bases you can get for the tanks that make them even more stable. But yeah on rock, dirt, sand, picnic tables, decks, haha we have used that thing pretty much everywhere no problems. Definitely always good to be mindful of fire safety though that’s for sure 👍🏽😊
Great video and extremely helpful for my wife and I!!
Glad you found it helpful! 👊🏽😊🤙🏽
I use a Melita one-cup coffee maker. It sits on the cup with a coffee filter and coffee in it. Just pour boiling water over. One small piece is all you need. I just heat water in a small electric kettle plugged into my jackery. Easy clean-up.
From California lover ur vibe😊
👊🏽🙃🤙🏽
You two are so cute, happy camping!
Haha thanks happy camping ☺️🤙🏽
french press are nice but i prefer a small personal percolator coffee maker myself.
for knives i got lucky and got a full set of J A Henkel culinary knives from a thrift store for 20.00 when i go vanlife this coming year, i will be taking them with me.
Nice! Definitely check out the Aeropress as well it’s been pretty impressive ☕️😊🤙🏽
I am so glad this video popped up on my feed. It’s been exactly what I am looking for. Thank you for sharing!
Sweet! No prob glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching! ☺️🤙🏽
Great vid! I actually have and use a few of those items. Just found yer channel and subscribed. You two project good energy and I like that. Great job!
Awe thanks! 😃 Really appreciate the support! 👊🏽☺️
I find the easiest way to have coffee while camping is just to bring a few individual packets of instant coffee powder that already has the milk powder mixed in. Not as tasty as real coffee but functions as a decent morning drink
Nice we’ve definitely smashed some instant on certain lightweight trips haha gets it done, it’s just a extra nice and comforting to make some fresh 😊🤙🏽
Thanks just picked up a few of your recommendations for the car. Thanks!
Nice 😊 No problem! Hope they work as well for you as they have for us! 🤙🏽
Great video guys! I have that shovel but leave in in truck for car camping bc it is too heavy for backpacking!
Thanks! 👊🏽😊 Yeah no for backpacking you can usually just get away with the old ultralight trowel to handle your business 😁
I have the exact cook kit. Lots of use.
Sweet! 😃 Yeah man that thing gets used on every trip! 😂🤙🏽
Thank you for the great ideas!! The camping fan you have is the 6ich of the 7 inch, please? I did order the cooking set with the camp stove included.
No problem! 😊🤙🏽 We have the older version which is the smaller one it works well but now that they have the bigger new one I’d probably get that. 😎
I have almost exactly that shovel, but with both a shovel blade and a little pickaxe part. This is very helpful in rocky soil.
Nice 😊🤙🏽
Yes on the press, but the thermal ss is the winner, hands down. Won’t break, can get smaller sizes, and keeps your coffee warm longer.
What is a thermal ss? 🤔 Like a stainless steel yeti tumbler? Or one of those coffee dispensers they have at convenience stores?
The stanley french press is great. You dont need a separate kettle and french press. i keep a small stanley cup and camp stove inside it. It can boil up to 20 oz of water. Enough for mountain house meals
Absolutely 😊 We actually have that linked in this video description I believe as a higher end option. 😁🤙🏽 They’re a little pricey for this video title haha but great. 😎
Great video!! Do you guys use a double sleeping bag, single or a quilt?
Thanks! 👊🏽😃 All depends on the environment really. For the most part we use two singles. If it’s really warm out we will just use a light quilt or sheet. If it’s extremely cold having the double sleeping bag can be nice so you can share body heat. 😊🤙🏽
Thanks so much for the list….I live in a dry cabin so it’s all great info for me!
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Thanks for the tips. 👍
You two make a very nice couple.
Enjoy the outdoors!!
Blessings,🕊️
No problem! And awe thanks that’s so sweet! You too! ☺️
I have the same cook set, it's great and yes mine came with the stove too.
Nice 😊🤙🏽
You should add a Mora knife. They are inexpensive and very durable knives. As for that fan. I carried one when I did a bike ride across Iowa back in 2012, and it was so nice at night to have a breeze blowing on my face. I also carry a shovel, but I got mine from Cold Steel. As for knives, lets just say I've been collecting since the mid 80's and I know have over 50 :)
Nice! 👊🏽😃 Haha there are actually a couple Mora knives linked in the description and in our Amazon store! Solid for the price! 😎🤙🏽
The shovel can also be used as a pickaxe. Just set the blade at 90° and then tighten.
Nice 😎🤙🏽
Thanks for the white sage information that is very useful and will be taken on my motor trips.
No problem hope it makes a difference for ya! 😊🤙🏽
There’s also a number of folding chef knives on Amazon for around $20. I’ve made it a must have for my car camping loadout. For a lot of veggies or meat there’s cleaver options as well.
Sweet! Yeah I love the folding chef’s knife I found on there it’s been great. Think we showed it in another video. Pretty cool. 😊
New here, beautiful couple. They make a smaller shovel little smaller. I'm looking for one of them. ❤
Awe thanks! ☺️ Welcome to the channel! 🤙🏽
Great vid! Thanks! Reminded me of some updates and replacements, as well as some new to add! Love the French press you have! Yours looks like it's glass with what looks like may be a protective partial cover on it. Where would I get that protective cover? Thanks again! Happy and safe travels!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! That was just the French press we have had for years it just came like that. We have a few solid options linked in the description and I also replied to your other comment with the video link including the aeropress 👊🏽😊 Thanks again appreciate ya watching! ☺️🤙🏽
Great beginner list!🎉
😊🤙🏽
First time seeing you. Loved the video! Thank you.
Well hey 👋🏽😃 Welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you enjoy many more of them! Thanks for watching 😉🤙🏽
Most helpful video I've watched in a long time on this subject! Well done!
Thanks! 😃 Awesome to hear it! Very glad you found it helpful. Thanks again, really appreciate the nice comment. ☺️🤙🏽
Have the same gas stove about 8 years now, works well
There ya go 😎🤙🏽
I've heard that the red light doesn't attract the bugs which would be a huge plus. I keep hearing over and over from other youtubers that the french press is the best for making coffee. Enjoyed the video and will probably end up subscribing at some point. Looking forward to checking out your other content. Cheers
Red light is definitely awesome for certain situations and absolutely attracts less bugs! And the French press is just tried and true ☕️😎🤙🏽 Glad you enjoyed the video, hope you enjoy the rest of the content as well, thanks for watching 👊🏽😊
Amber or Blue light cuts down on Bugs.
Blue is softer on your eyes and your neighbors...

Stanley does an awesome French press that you can boil the water in and it has a plastic sleeve with filter and spout. Best camping French press and it's practically indestructible! I highly recommend it!
It’s linked in the video description 😊🤙🏽
Love your hat brother!!
Nice gadgets getting some on my next camping trip thanks for sharing
Megabass 😎😎😎 Haha thanks man! I have too many fishing hats. 🤦🏻♂️😂😁🤙🏽 And no prob brother! All this stuff has been great don’t hesitate on any of em. 😊
Some good picks.. I also like using a camp pillow. A stuff sack just wasn't getting it done for me.
I've never need a shovel when a stick will do.
Thanks for the video
Appreciate ya man thanks for watching! 👊🏽😊 Pillow is definitely great to have and the shovel I honestly use all the time haha it’s just nice to be able to pick up an entire log and move it instead of like trying to roll it over with a stick ya know? 😂🤙🏽
Great vid!
Love the practical stuff!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️🤙🏽
Thank you very much.
This was helpful.
No problem happy it helped! 😊
