Best tips ever! (Many were an idea in my head for a future segment!) I also prefer nesting needed pots rather than collapsible silicone (STS). A collapsible sink is about the only folding silicone I want to fight with.😅🤣 And still amazing to me is that the can opener is not on all camp essential lists. I would also suggest the rollercam tighteners for holding down shelters. And glow in the dark/reflective rope.
@@SMafam5 Thanks for the note. It helped to make today much nicer. I like your suggestions. I’ve been thinking about guyline tightners for some time but haven’t come up with a method I like. Take care.
Been a fan of your content for a while and happy to see updates from you. I will be purchasing a few things you suggested. I hope to keep the spirit of frugal tent camping alive for years to come, just like you and your family. Thank you for the content!!
@@jaciangst6400 Hey Jaci. It’s nice to hear from you. In which state do you usually camp? Do you have children? Our grandson started camping with us when he was about one and now he is almost 11. I’m so glad we were able to give him this experience. Hope you won’t be disappointed with your purchase decisions.
Love this!! Planning on our first camping trip with our Gazelle tent this month. Love your recommendations. The Pampered chef can opener also makes the cans safe to use, but it isn't as small.
@@shellygraham2194 Hey Shelly. Thanks for the note and thanks for the tip. Hope you have a great trip. I’ve always wanted to check out that Gazelle but haven’t had the opportunity.
Heres one for ya... put pool noodles on your guy lines for tarps and tents to make them more visible and avoid tripping or running into them around camp.
@@BrianSmith-ql5nj That’s a great tip. We use to trip over them often and, in fact, ripped a Eureka Timberline tent rain fly when we tripped over its guy line. Over the years, we have learned how to set up camp to minimize guy line problems and we have learned to be more careful around them. But the pool noodles is a great tip. Thanks for watching.
Yayy! Im happy to see a new video from you. Hope your family is well, and btw, who is that other dark haired 'man' in the pics? That cant be your little son!❤ I say a great (my favorite), tip would've been: the tablebleg extenders! Saving millions of old backs every year!😊 Keep up the great work!! 👍🏞🏕
@@JennBX1 Hey Jenn. Great to hear from you. That young man is our grandson. He is 11 years old and has spent almost every weekend of his life with us. And has been on a lot of camping trips. It’s been fun having another “part-time son” I love children and can’t imagine living without one. I left a lot out of that video and the leg extenders is just one thing. Maybe I’ll do another video on this topic in the future. Thanks for watching my videos. Hope you have a great year.
@@brent1387 Brent. It’s been a long time. How have you been doing? We only tried one camping trip this year and had to cut it short. I just don’t have the strength to do simple camping chores that never seemed to require much effort before.
@@moderntentcamping I understand your situation, same for me!! I will be going on a tent camping trip in a couple weeks along the north shore of Lake Superior. I will go with my youngest son he is in his twenties now. So I will be the driver and cook and he will be the muscle with the tent, set up take down etc. Hello to your wife. Keep walking for your lungs and to keep your legs strong. Take care.
As usual, you give us a lot of very useful information Frazier. I'm always happy to see a new post from you. Although we don't camp out much these days, I always find something I can use from your videos. These are all excellent tips for having a successful camping trip. My favorite was the static and dynamic cords tip. I had no idea of that difference. It's easy when you know how, lol. Thanks once again for sharing your experience in these videos. I always get hungry when I see you and Ava cooking up something over a campfire. Those wonderful family camping pictures are always appreciated too.
@@mrbr549 Thanks for the note mrbr. It’s great to hear from you again. As you know, I’ve mentioned several of these tips in other videos but I decided to put them all together in one video I have to confess that my video ideas are coming slower and my production is slower. And I see that my videos are now attracting much fewer viewers. Those old campground reviews were very popular but we can’t get out there anymore. The only place I can now review is our local senior center. They play some good domino games there. . Bless you for being such a loyal supporter.
With the bad back and knees, I’ve abandoned hammering stakes and moved on to 1/2” lag bolts about 10 or 12 inches long and a lil cordless impact gun. Works amazing. I’ll say this about the can opener… it always finds its way into the house when the ones we buy at the store inevitably fail. Great product. I have a massive Kodiak tent and It definitely doesn’t fit every campsite, but man is it comfy. Good to see you again sir, thanks for being a resource.
@@ProbablyStonedComments Hey man, Good to hear from you again. I hear you about those knees and back. I’ll have t check out those lag bolts. Do you have a Nogent? I’ll bet that Kodiak is heavy - especially after a rain? How do you dry it after your trips?
@@moderntentcamping Yeah the Kodiak is heavy. I split up the poles into two different military duffels with the shoulder strap and I keep the tent itself in a big plastic container with wheels and a pull handle. I’ve been lucky enough to not have to deal with it wet just yet, but yeah it’s a concern for sure. I love the Nogent, I bought it on your recommendation and named it after you🤣. We refer to it by name.
Great video... Great presentation... Your camping experience and knowledge are top-notch. I always enjoy watching your videos. All 12 are great suggestions. My only tip for beginner campers is buy once cry once... quality gear on the first time purchasing, or you'll have a lot of loaner gear. Thank you for sharing. Take care Frazier D. Friend... 🇺🇸

Good job my love I hope Lalito learns a lot from us.
We love our T4 plus
@@chrispartin4549 wish I could examine that tent. Looks like a good one.
Great video Mr Frazier, I remove the plastic from the steel tent stakes and replace them with washers . take care
@@jeffreyvolk7140 Good idea, we have washers for that purpose but rarely use them. Should have mentioned that in the video. How are you doing?
Heres one for ya... put pool noodles on your guy lines for tarps and tents to make them more visible and avoid tripping or running into them around camp.
