Stainless bowls are a 10/10. Storage bins and storage bags are a close second. The cloths/dustpan/cutting board I'd skip on for Ikea and just grab at the dollar store.
Honestly, bringing rags and cloths are something I tend to forget a lot, but buying a stash to keep in my camping gear is a great idea! Also, as a Canadian, the moose pasta is just adorable! haha Love your videos :)
As a vanlifer I've become a big fan of soft containers - bags, sacks, duffles, etc. With rigid containers you usually have wasted precious space containing nothing but air. Soft containers collapse down with no wasted space and can conform to fit into oddly shaped spaces. So two thumbs up for the soft containers you featured.
I actually just went the other way :-D I travelled mostly with Ikea bags full of my stuff and it annoyed me how I could never stack them properly, they were just sliding everywhere in my car and it always looked kind of messy. I guess a good mix in between soft and hard packing solutions is the key (at least for me) 🙂
We were at our local Ikea in UK and spotted a larger sized one, obviously I got one and a trivet I might use for standing a pot on top rather than the tent pegs ideas. Can't wait to try it!
Thank you for making a point for not being sponsored on this video. I’m tired of TH-cam “advertisements” that are disguised as interest focused videos. I never camp without a small broom and dust pan for cleaning out my tent. Don’t forget the pet section (if there is one at IKEA). Reusable doggie piddle pads are great to use inside the tent to trap any residual dirt/water and are easy to wash.
Mate you missed the #1 best Ikea product (IMO) for camping, even though it's in the video at 7:30: the classic Ikea blue bag. They're PERFECT for bringing wood: large, durable, light, and with a double handle system whereby you thread the long handle through the opposite side short handle which pulls the mouth closed and stabilises it for carrying.
I would argue that if one can choose any item from Ikea - blue bag would be it. But not just any blue bag, the Ikea Frakta storage bag, which can be used on the Frakta trolley: it has handles to be a bag but you can also wear it as a backpack. And it's perfect size for your backpack to be packed in if you're flying without worrying that something will catch on conveyor belts at the airport.
Tip for your stainless steel or other bowls: Use coffee filters in between them to prevent scratching in transit. The coffee filters can be used for many other purposes and in an emergency, They are a terrific initial filtration system to obtain potable water 😉
I use those little shoe bags for EVERYTHING. I have to one keep all of my random bungee cords in, one with All my good tent spikes etc. I love the big bag with the handles. I keep my tarps and moving blanket in one and my blankets/sleeping bags in another. They make it so easy to organize. And side note the flat bag with orange liner is perfect fit for wreaths. I store my different season door wreaths in them. Thanks for the recipe!
Ikea's kids section used to have a play cook set complete with a pot, pan, wok, spatula, wisk, and spoon that could be nesseled together into a pretty compact set. They work well over a butane burner and are perfectly sized for single-person setting.
Great idea, except when I checked the ikea site, it says it’s not suitable for actual cooking. No idea why not, but it might be something to keep in mind.
I am a total IKEA fan! One thing I do is purchase some of their inexpensive rugs for my tent. The rugs catch the dirt and when finished they are easy to shake out and put in the washing machine!
I dont enjoy camping as much as others, but for some reason I'm drawn to your videos. And the more i watch your videos the more i want to give camping another shot. This video is one of my favorites! Thanks for posting!
Great information! Love the deep stainless bowls, clips, bins, packing cubes. What fun to find camping items where you would not expect. More of this content please! its great info, thanks
I've had the bigger version of the waterproof bag for 3 years now, I use it to store my wet gear after swimming. It holds water in pretty well (starts leaking a bit after 2 days but I shouuuld take my stuff out after practice anyway) and doesn't have this wet feeling you often get with the lightweight ones. I haven't fully submerged it though, so I can't say how well it keeps water out, but it definitely works when kayaking or SUPing.
Made a trip to IKEA (in the UK) after watching this video. I didn’t have high hopes for finding many of the items you’ve mentioned in it , but actually managed to find 80% of the items and purchased around half of them ahead of an up and coming camping trip! Thank you for sharing items that are actually practical/necessary and that are readily available for most of your viewers ❤
Just came across this video and was wondering whether IKEA UK stock these, your comment answered my question, looks like a trip to IKEA for me tomorrow 🤣🤣
Fantastic video idea! This kind of content is so great for helping keep camping accessible-- not everybody lives within driving distance of an REI, so reminders about where else to pick up gear, especially cheaply, can be so helpful. Would love to see a "buy this, skip that" camping edition at a place like Dollar Tree. Metal tongs for the fire-- yes! Caribeaners and "rope" from there-- not safe!
I had one of the huge plastic storage bags from ages ago in our basement and randomly grabbed it before our camping trip last summer. Worked great for our bedding and beach towels. I also love swedish dish towels for camping, the ones that are like a hard material until they get wet.
Dang it! That's just what I was going to suggest. A few years back, I saw a bunch of them with a Christmas theme. It was after Christmas, so I bought them at a great discount.
My husband and I are big campers and this video coming out fresh off a trip is getting us excited to visit Ikea! Thanks so much for sharing such great content🙃 I’ve been needing to replace our stainless steel bowls for awhile! Great find!
I love the Parkla storage bags with the orange zipper. In my camper van I store blankets and sheets in one. Two full size pillows fit perfectly in another.
I stopped at Ikea before going on a 4 week trek on the Via Francigena in May. I used the Rensare dry bag and packing cubes and they were perfect. At a fraction of the cost of similar functioning items they were ultra light and kept my pack well organized. Also, I had to check my backpack on the flight over and was able to find a ultralight weight zipper bag that easily fit my backpack and trekking poles. When I got to my destination it was light enough that I could fold it and stick it in the bottom of my pack with very little increase in weight.
I don't live near an Ikea but I'm heading out on a multi-week road trip and will pass through a few cities. Definitely going to stop into an Ikea along my route and pick up some of these items. Thanks for the tips!
I watched your travels in Spain and Portugal and we also will be going to Scotland soon hopefully. Will you ever get where you're going though with all that SPLENDISHOUS scenery ?
Hearing her talk about the chicken was such a huge turn off. I can't believe it's 2023 and people who shop at supermarkets are still eating dead animals. I was going to share this video but I can't share it in good conscience.
@@Adelicows - Yes, dead animals are being consumed all over the world. Animals eat other animals. People eat animals, and have since God created the world and everything and everyone.
The clips have that little circular part in the middle, and when you squeeze the clip open, you can insert the clothesline into that little hole and it will help the clip not slide back-and-forth if there’s wind or if the clothes line is not level. You can also use them as clips as you did in the tree branches.
I was surprised that she didn't notice that little round area and mention the utility of it... I expected to see the tree branch nestled into it, but no...
My friend is a: “cannot be bothered to TikTok”, “Van Life” camper. She uses pillowcases for storage whenever she can. Seasonal clothes storage = “couch pillows”. Extra linens? … ditto.😂
I have those clear bags with the orange zippers. I use the shoe one for muddy boots and wet flip flops. The bigger one for pillows and blankets. Will look for the packing cubes and plastic food storage bags next time I go! Great video!!!
I took an old "Scouts" camping oven iny last trip. Whe had a four hour roasted Beef dinner with roast potatoes and steamed veg. Camping life changing haha.
Hey, great ideas thanks. I would like to suggest that you drill some air holes in the lids of the bins so that moisture can escape and not rust your cookware or get mold on fabric.
FYI, those clips are awesome at holding a tablecloth on a picnic table. Just clip them on the ends and then you don't have to worry about having to keep heavy stuff on the table in windy weather.
Great video. I thought IKEA was just furniture. Some money savers: Dollar Tree has nice bamboo cutting boards ( in their $ 3-5.00 section), dust pan/ brush 1.25, 6 pack spring clips 1.25, also excellent vaccum seal travel storage bags, with valve, that you just just fill, seal, and roll to eliminate air, 1.25. Big enough for bed pillow, Totally waterproof.
Love this video. I don’t go to IKEA often and a couple of these items are exactly what I spent today trying to find. Packing cubes and the shoe bag are winners for me. a Guess where Im going tomorrow? 😂🤣😁
The 34oz food containers with the clipable lids also come in stainless, great for packing salads - and they're stackable as well :) The kids section also has cheap reusable plastic bowls and plates
I use the white and black bag for storing the duvet we use in the van but you need to be careful since I did split the seam with one duvet (too thick). Speaking of which - I also purchased the duvet and cover from IKEA. Great place for camping gear and lasts longer than buying items from a dollar store. I also use the packing cubes which are perfect sizes for weekend trips. There's also some poly bags with drawstrings that I use for dirty clothes. Great video and would love to see a few more like this.
I use the insulated flasks for carrying my milk, eggs(pre scrambled but nothing added so I can use them for anything I need to use them for), and any juice or anything that I don’t want to put a paper carton or something that might spill or be damaged by packing it in ice in my cooler. Plus, they save space by being streamlined and they are easy to pack and use without getting dirty or letting in bugs or anything at camp. And I can wipe them down before replacing into the cooler. I use them for road trips and hotel stays as well. They’re good for more than just water!
One big purchase I haven't quite gotten my money back on is a Yeti cooler. I run out of space for it in the car most times. Your ideas about the flasks would make my three day trips with the softside cooler a lot better. Got to write this one down.
@@cynvisionif you pack your ice in tight around them, they will go in and out of the little cubby it will make really easy and it’s like they have their own little space. I have had mine for about 6 years now and they are still like brand new after a lot of use and I don’t remember them costing much at all. I haven’t been to IKEA recently, they are an hour away in either direction, but I can’t imagine that IKEA has gotten expensive all the sudden. 😂 They are such a great place to get quality camping gear.
Was nice to see an Ikea ... We don't have one in our town ..but really like a few things you showed .. sad cause not having an Ikea I would never be able to have them items ...
Are you in the U.S.? Any time you take a trip somewhere, check Google (or IKEA site) to see if there is one where you're going. OR - plan a vacation or short getaway with an IKEA as your destination!
I would be interested if you could do camping/ road trip meals with a heated lunch box. I’ve seen heated lunch boxes but I’m limited on what meals to make. Would like to see more meal ideas. Also other car charging devices: heated water kettle, heated lunch box, micro crock pot…etc. Great video, I’m heading to ikea and have a look at the items you mentioned for my next camping trips.
I bought a couple different types of those heated lunch boxes on Amazon about a year ago, before prices went sky-high. Haven't used them yet, but I think I'll keep one stashed in my car with my "emergency" sleeping bag, blanket, first aid kit, etc.
Great video! I love the shoe zippered bag! That alone will make an IKEA trip worth it! Also love the packing cubes and stainless steel bowls. Thanks for sharing the tips! Thanks for your content!
Glad you enjoyed the video! The clips are great for smaller items like dish towels and bathing suits (heavy items tend to slide off) and I love the reusable bags for left overs or even as a bowl in a pinch!
I've had the bigger version of the waterproof bag for 3 years now, I use it to store my wet gear after swimming. It holds water in pretty well (starts leaking a bit after 2 days but I shouuuld take my stuff out after practice anyway) and doesn't have this wet feeling you often get with the lightweight ones. I haven't fully submerged it though, so I can't say how well it keeps water out, but it definitely works when kayaking or SUPing. I use the shoe bags for storing dirty laundry when car camping - and of course for muddy boots. They're also really cheap (0,5 € per piece last year, directly grabbed 6 of them) They also have ziploc bags in every possible size (the kind without the "zipper" thingy), great value for preportioning meals on longer treks.
The storage bags are awesome for camping and they cost so little (1€ here in Italy) I have tons of them. I would love for then to have a proper handle instead of a hook but they're great nonetheless at least to group things together like sleeping bags or towels or even dirty laundry.
Love this video! Thanks. I use the large storage bags for camping as well. A question about the stainless steel bowl: does it get hot in your hands when serving hot dishes?
All great ideas. A lot of these are great for traveling in general. Things can move around in your luggage or backpack,my favorite is the pack of organizer bags for clothes, electronics.Thanks!
There's also a stainless steel cooking set in the children's area. It's intended use is for play but its stainless construction and small size make it perfect for single serve cookware.
Agreed, pesto with pasta is delicious! I love to add dried tomatoes and instead of chicken sausage - some ham fried on a pan and sliced. Quick and delicious meal! ♥
Thanks for the ideas! I prefer shopping on Amazon. I have lots of camping items, but azengear toothpick was a real find for me. It is a multi tool which I use not only for cleaning my teeth but also as a fork 😅
i bought all those tiny square towels a while ago when i first saw them. they are amazing, i use them at home as well. the packing cubes are really good, have been using them a lot for short trips. there is also a drawstring bag in the same fabric, i use that for my gym shoes in my backpack. i have the waterproof bag in both sizes and use them more like a handbag to carry a bunch of small items around. i did not know the white/orange one for shoes yet, that tells me i have to visit ikea again soon. love to go there for lunch!
I was surprised by the cotton-linen dish towel, which comes in an expanded size. I would use that for my body. I like dealing with natural fibers and ones which dry quickly.

Which of these items surprised you the most? Comment below!! 💚
The small waterproof bag! Makes me want to go to Ikea right now and get one :)
Stainless bowls are a 10/10. Storage bins and storage bags are a close second.

The collapsible bowl to use for washing.
Loved the shoe bag for muddy boots!
The big blue Ikea shopping bag rocks for carrying firewood from the woodpile back to your camp spot
That’s genius
....or a emergency t.o.i.l.e.t.🥴😏
I bought 2 of those blue bags about 15 years ago. They still transport groceries from the car. A million uses.

I love that camping is about being resourceful. An item doesn't need to be "for camping" to be an awesome find.
Of course, but this video is about awesome finds that can be used for camping
Exactly 💚💚💚 multipurpose, multiuse, everything
Ikea's cutlery drain makes an awesome hobo stove/mini fire pit !
We were at our local Ikea in UK and spotted a larger sized one, obviously I got one and a trivet I might use for standing a pot on top rather than the tent pegs ideas. Can't wait to try it!

Duktig play cookware.

They still do…
I have this set...just for camping😊

😂

The clips you can use to hold a tarp to a paradord line, so it don’t blow away. 😊
I had no idea IKEA made waterproof bags!! I feel like a test is in order 🤔 also - fully agree, their dish towels are amazing for camping

Thank you so much for your comment. I was wondering where I would find a bag big enough for exactly the same purpose.

The waterproof roll top bag is super, we use it for the swimming suits, and my son uses it to store electronic devices during hiking.
Just discovered your channel! It’s awesome 🎉 thanks for the tips !
Putting packing cubes and shoe bags on my IKEA shopping list!
I use those bags for storage under my bed as well they are wonderful!
I watched your travels in Spain and Portugal and we also will be going to Scotland soon hopefully.
Will you ever get where you're going though with all that SPLENDISHOUS scenery ?
Nice finds! And wow, I get very bored by pasta but mixing it with sausage (vegan or non) + pesto sounds delicious! And easy!

I need to get over to IKEA! Thank you for pointing out things that we might overlook otherwise. Love your product videos!
I never thought of using those bags to organise clothes. I'm going to get some. Thanks
It might be a random video but I really enjoyed it.
Fantastic! We love car camping and we love Ikea. We are usually 2 or 3 adults plus 2 kids in a Subaru Impreza, so organization is key for us.
Nick and I don’t have kids yet, but I can only imagine that when we do, organization will be even more important for us!!
Some of these items were really nice! I haven’t been to ikea in a while. Maybe I should pay them a visit 😀.

Thanks For The Awesome Videos.

Great stuff here! Thank you!
And just when I thought I had everything I needed, lol! Trip to Ikea to get some of theses things especially the bags.
Thanks for taking us shopping at Ikea with you. It was fun!
Thanks for the tip reminders
Nice video. Those clips look handy. I need to pick up some reusable pouches too. I use too much plastic zip lock bags & garbage bags.
Glad you enjoyed the video! The clips are great for smaller items like dish towels and bathing suits (heavy items tend to slide off) and I love the reusable bags for left overs or even as a bowl in a pinch!
Those reusable bags would be great for coolers-water shouldn’t leach into them??
Great ideas!
Some great finds, thanks!!
I've had the bigger version of the waterproof bag for 3 years now, I use it to store my wet gear after swimming. It holds water in pretty well (starts leaking a bit after 2 days but I shouuuld take my stuff out after practice anyway) and doesn't have this wet feeling you often get with the lightweight ones. I haven't fully submerged it though, so I can't say how well it keeps water out, but it definitely works when kayaking or SUPing.
I use the shoe bags for storing dirty laundry when car camping - and of course for muddy boots. They're also really cheap (0,5 € per piece last year, directly grabbed 6 of them)
They also have ziploc bags in every possible size (the kind without the "zipper" thingy), great value for preportioning meals on longer treks.
The storage bags are awesome for camping and they cost so little (1€ here in Italy) I have tons of them. I would love for then to have a proper handle instead of a hook but they're great nonetheless at least to group things together like sleeping bags or towels or even dirty laundry.
Love this video! Thanks. I use the large storage bags for camping as well. A question about the stainless steel bowl: does it get hot in your hands when serving hot dishes?
Very nice and practical information ❤❤
GREAT finds, thanks!
Where did you get the sporks? Love them! Maybe ikea if i keep watching lol
Great video and ideas from IKEA! Thank you Amanda! I'm off to IKEA.x
A good idea and since I live in Sweden I can get it here❣️
Great video!
Great ideas, thank you 😊
All great ideas. A lot of these are great for traveling in general. Things can move around in your luggage or backpack,my favorite is the pack of organizer bags for clothes, electronics.Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this, great ideas😊
Great ideas! Thanks!
These are some great ideas. Thanks
There's also a stainless steel cooking set in the children's area. It's intended use is for play but its stainless construction and small size make it perfect for single serve cookware.
The large storage bags for extra blankets and pillows would be clutch.
That was great info! Thanks!!
This was a very helpful. Thank you😀
@Txtme4 Have I now?🫤
Love the storage bags. Gotta get some of those for sure.
@Txtme4 I know this is not Amanda. Get your trolling ass out of here. We are on to you.
Love your channel!! ❤
Agreed, pesto with pasta is delicious! I love to add dried tomatoes and instead of chicken sausage - some ham fried on a pan and sliced. Quick and delicious meal! ♥
Great ideas, heading to ikea today ❤
Thanks for the ideas! I prefer shopping on Amazon. I have lots of camping items, but azengear toothpick was a real find for me. It is a multi tool which I use not only for cleaning my teeth but also as a fork 😅
Great video!!! Always thumbs up from the 641...
You’re in my hometown! I’ve been to that ikea.
Super enjoyable to watch! I think those clear bags would be a great way for me to utilize the space under the seats in my micro camper van 😊.
i bought all those tiny square towels a while ago when i first saw them. they are amazing, i use them at home as well. the packing cubes are really good, have been using them a lot for short trips. there is also a drawstring bag in the same fabric, i use that for my gym shoes in my backpack.
i have the waterproof bag in both sizes and use them more like a handbag to carry a bunch of small items around.
i did not know the white/orange one for shoes yet, that tells me i have to visit ikea again soon. love to go there for lunch!
The Parkla bag is an amazing discovery. Btw I like your sandals-what brand are they and do they make a men’s version?
I was surprised by the cotton-linen dish towel, which comes in an expanded size. I would use that for my body. I like dealing with natural fibers and ones which dry quickly.
