- We go on our first family camping trip for two nights. We are always a little "extra" when we travel and it's no different when we're camping.

My family camped every summer without fail and my parents were experts at packing and organizing for camping trips. Long years of practice in Boy Scouts by my parents was very helpful for us to be more efficient. Mom, dad, grandma and 4 kids in a Pontiac Tempest station wagon and we explored our beautiful country from Glacier park to Death Valley. Those are some of my most treasured memories of my childhood. Camping is a lifetime memory worth all the hassle of getting out of the door and finding a great spot to pitch your tent.
We did the same; road trips in a Pontiac station wagon, and everyone had their job setting up and breaking down camp. We cooked all our own (favorite) food, hiked, fished, and saw the USA from East to West on a very small budget. Food always tastes better when you're camping, and the memories are forever. It's definitely worth all the work.
I had a single parent, Dad & with 4 kids he opted for a motorhome (in the 60s & 70s). We went all over the country & by 10 I knew every inch of our big beautiful State. Many great trips.
Three attempts to get away from the house is just about standard. And as you do this you'll find out what you use and what never makes it out of the box.... First trip out camping with the family I was 6 weeks old. I'm 70 now. It's a great thing to do with family and a wonderful way to relax.
Well done Justin and the Beautiful One. Your children will remember this weekend probably forever. I can remember our first family camping trip, and that was 65 years ago!
Fun family times. I’m glad your children are having fun. They work so hard all the time.
Boy does this back family memories!. We had a little Higgins pop up trailer and one year we went to Yellowstone park 1959, year of the great quake. We were safely back in Oklahoma when it happened by one week. The funny thing we saw no bears, deer etc. The animals knew what was coming and got out of Yellowstone before the quake. But we had a blast! Glad you enjoyed the trip
You remind me of the time I, from PA, traveled to Niagara Falls with a family of friends in Buffalo, NY. After supper one evening, we drove to the Falls, but it was turned OFF!!! Turns out some engineers were studying the strength of the rock IF all the fallen rubble was removed as they wanted to do. The result is it wasn't! The rubble was protecting the wall of rock from collapsing. So, my one chance to see the Falls in all its glory was a fail. HOWEVER, I 'did' get to see the Falls without the water and saw the rubble people didn't know was there due to the water cascading over it! It was an education...just not the one I went to see. : ) I have come to learn, subsequently, that the Falls are used to generate power for the area, but at night the flow is greatly reduced.
I loved camping! We upgraded from a 3man tent to a Starcraft popup camper that comfortably slept 6 adults. We packed like y'all did. Every thing revolved around being comfortable well fed and having happy and entertained children.
I lived in Las Vegas in those days. Even in the mountains around us it was pretty hot.
Not much is too cold when it comes to kids wanting to have fun. We did loads of camping at Lake Mead and in secluded places along the Colorado River.
I have upgraded to hostels and cheap motels nowadaze.
Coming home was a challenge some times and we Always looked forward to the next camping trip.
Hopefully y'all will love this trip enough to do it again and again
I love how many times you guys had to come back even after having a check list. That's typical of most family adventures. At least you didn't have a "Home Alone " moment. Lol😊
Our favorite memories from when our boys were young are of our camping trips,cooking on a little hibachi, campfires and happy faces. We all loved it!!! 🌿
Favorite camp fire food: dutch oven cobbler!
We brought a huge amount of campfire food back home and blew a tire.
Don't put all the weight over top of one trailer tire
My history with camping is similar to traveling....make a list for about a week or so, imagining everything I use thru my day, and pack the list. However, the more I did both, I learned to treat myself to hauling less, and then less making only the essentials to take along. So much easier on mind and tending after. Your family time out in God's world looked so fun. Hope there will be many many more...! : )
start off camping in the woods at the house! that way if you forget something, you can walk back to get it lol hope yall are having fun!
Grew up camping and taking the state park free courses. Best thing I learned from my parents about camping was, don't touch the sides of the tent,especially during rain. It will cause it to leak. Looks like you guys had fun.
(nodding) I learned that in Brownies (mini Girl Scouts) before my first camping trip.
@@jjo5375 I was a campfire girl too. Loved all those camping experiences ❤️
I love this camping video thank you for sharing with us
Thank you so much for all of your videos this is my favorite
My family did a lot of tent camping when I was a child. There were 7 of us as well. Mom and Dad did not learn to get past the stress of everything to actually enjoy it. Looks like y'all mastered having fun!
I watch some guys go camping as a minimalist, and then I watch Justin Rhodes go camping with everything including the kitchen sink. Both ways of camping are awesome. 🍻
Camping with kids and dogs is sooo much fun ❤️❤️❤️
The grease fire had me laughing! Fun times. Good memories. Thanks for sharing. 🧡
Absolutely Loved the camping trip! Did a Wonderful job of setting everything up, so organized! Everything you brought was absolutely necessary & I noticed Rebecca's camp chair was a rocking chair! Love It! Don't care that you had to go back home a couple of times, you weren't far & I bet you won't forget again. I think everyone made special memories, but I think Henry had an extra special fun time!!
Thank you for taking us along! Too funny on the trips back to the house…been there done that lol….nothing like a family camping trip! Blessings guys🙏❤️
Ah that looked so lovely and relaxing and yes, somehow one is always making food on a camp trip lol. That griddle is a game changer. Little Henry in his little chair looked as if he's been doing this before but poor Teddy was not happy, he will not go camping again
Great
Mr. Henry was in his element.... he's a mini Mr. Brown, next year he will start losing his shoes. 😀
So great you are starting this ! Definitely make it a tradition! My memories of family fishing trips on my dad’s crab boat are highlights of my childhood that I treasure now that he is gone to heaven ♥️♥️♥️
Some people camp in cargo trailers, but a cargo trailer would be rather crowded for a family of 7.
You can buy a Chinese electric pickup the size of that little truck that Justin pointed out.
You guys are extra and good, 👍 super organised. Hope you relax a little and have a ton of fun.
What a great Family Camping trip. I loves how Henry was loving it there. The way he squealed when he through the rock in to the water. He will look at the video of this family trip & like it. & all of you needed this time away. Great for you all. I miss getting to go camping.
Yup 💚A CAMPING MASTER LIST💚 is a very good idea.
What fun family time! The memories are priceless! 👍🏼💗👍🏼💗👍🏼💗👍🏼
Oh my goodness how I love you guys! ❤️ Thank you for bringing joy into my life as I learn from you all! Thank you immensely for all you allow us to see and experience along with you! *and your children are SO grateful and excited!!! What a breath of God in the chaos of this world!
Btw… Rebecca, I know how much you put into this … the organization and coordination. It’s what us moms just do (often times without acknowledgement). You did an awesome job, just wanted to make sure you knew that us moms see what YOU did 😉 and we think you are AMAZING!
May have to copy your griddle cook stove. When someone said “not a bunch of frying pans” I was on Amazon!
a good idea is to find the baby bumper that go around a crib . put ribbon on each side of the padded bumper to tie down on the seats of the picnic table. if it is plastic style will take some sprinkles and a soft seat, and not slivers, or moss on your clothes.
Your trips back home to get things was a hoot. Especially Teddy. 🤣😂 Thanks for taking us along on your camping trip. The camp site was very nice🥰
Thank you I had so much fun with you all.
Reminds me of Home Alone.....who or what did you forget...too funny!
It was great getting to meet you and Lilly @the Superb Food Independence Summit
Thank you for sharing!!M. I really enjoyed watching.
Don't forget to dry out your tent or else it'll mold.
Loved that the kids had fun camping!
That went well. Now with more perspective, you can plan the next one - maybe before it turns too cold. Fewer others would be jamming up the campgrounds & maybe you could pick a site based upon a desired destination with great hikes, better swimming,maybe on a lake. Just remembered the pretty fall colors bring people out for road trips. Oh well, there's always winter camping.
Re: your beef stew, next time, prepare it at home, brown the meat for better broth & make enough for everyone. The others could have it with veggies like potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, & maybe mushrooms cooked in the broth. It could be reheated & kept below boiling, which could toughen meats. Keep some without all those lovely flavors if carnivore diet has no exceptions.
Oven roast lots of chicken to have in sandwiches; with some reheated in a pan with pre-made pan gravy, mashed potato, green beans, Brussels sprouts or Butternut squash & home made stuffing or corn on the cob.
I'd want some locally grown corn on the cob - steamed or grilled in their husks or removed & browned directly on a grill. Lots of butter - of course, maybe with steamers, lobsters, baked Cod or Haddock.
Bring a home made soup with lots of veggies & add pre-cooked chicken. Bring bags of cooked pasta to add to salads, soup or baked in a made at home cheese sauce.
It's easy to reheat baked casseroles like lasagna, tuna noodle, or mac & cheese.
Another easy skillet meal - saute onion, peppers, mushrooms & set aside. Cook up a skillet of hamburger at home & add canned tomatoes in sauce. Simmer all together in a big pot & add precooked bag of elbow macaroni maybe.Bring grated cheese, bread & butter.
You must have lots of home grown Lamb or Pork chops on hand, which could be grilled over hot coals on a large, rectangular grill or grate, plus roasted veggies. Reheat home baked potatoes.
Bring lots of prepared salad, carrot sticks, celery stalks, cucumbers to cut fresh, maybe dips or cream cheese.
For breakfast: Oatmeal with raisins, cinnamon, maple syrup; organic mixed cold cereals, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, coconut milk.
A favorite of mine, pre-made, room temp or reheated frittata, containing favorite veggies & cheeses, maybe cubed ham. Have plenty of precooked bacon, maybe lightly grill some ham steaks.
BLTs are good any time; chicken or tuna salad are great on toast, or salad. Open face toast with melted cheese, tomato & pre-cooked bacon.
Many pre-cooked things could be reheated on the grill, wrapped in foil - like you n made, while toast, English muffins or bagels are being toasted on the side.
You could use a 12 v fridge/ freezer that RV & van life people use! It's more to carry but can hold the meats, cheezes, frittata, pre-made casserole fillings, etc.
Good thing that your family aren't addicted to carbonated drinks! That would really take up a lot of space - for 7 people - each of whom could end up used to drinking several per day, like I drink black & herbal tea.
To save on weight & space, use powdered milk. My favorite is coconut. Nice to add to fruit smoothies.
Now I want to go camping too, & I'm 76!
Glad you guys had a wonderful first family camping trip! Pro tip for making tortilla chips. They always will appear slightly lighter when in the oil, than they will be when you take them out and they dry. So take them out just before they get as dark as you'd like them. Helps a lot more with white corn tortilla chips, but also relevant for the yellow.
If you want to learn how to cook with wood on an open fire watch Country Life Vlog. You can even learn hoe to make various outdoor ovens.
Great camping trip. Getting family together these days, THAT'S EXTRA! Making great memories, priceless. Sometimes in our younger years we take those things for granted, but as we get older (63), that's what we live for. Thanks for sharing with us.
you gunna eat all that YAP presious memories how they linger...I LOVE IT TO PIECES
We love going camping
Home Depot, Walmart, and Cabelas has a camping stove with oven that allows you to cook like you're at home. You can hook it up to the propane canister you already have.
That’s always how it is for us when we go camping , takes 2 or 3 hours longer to get packed up than we think
That looked like so much fun!!! We tent camped for quite a while and now we are up to a big ole bumper pull camper. I must admit that at my age the queen sized bed sure feels good!!
for some reason I woke up several times last night with y'all on my mind, so I prayed for y'all like 8 times during the night.
With everyone pitching in your set up, clean up, and obligatory dishes and cooking went very well. Looks like everyone, except Teddy, had a great time! So organized with your kitchen prep, hand washing, and dishes area! Loved the giggles and laughter at the lard fire, excellent lesson learned and no pork rinds were injured! I like grilled ham and cheese with tomato and red onion, but the cheese has to be cheddar. Even Lily was helping chop wood into kindling!! Glad you all had a great time! Love seeing children being children and exploring nature and trying new things! They will always find the water!! What a fun, happy, and exciting video. Next year do five days!! Thanks for taking us all along!!
Thank you! I had so much fun on “our” camping trip! I enjoyed every moment….and I jumped when that pot caught on fire! That was so unexpected! Can’t wait for our next trip….💕Cathy in Montana
, wow Justin and Rebecca y'all's good at the setting up . thanks for sharing this with us.god bless you all.
Hate to see it end
I have a master list, in three colors. Green is the stuff that remains in the camping kit always, and is stored together for easy packing. Blue is the stuff we use every day that needs to be added in. Red is the stuff we have to get/make each time (food, etc). It works. I print the list out and if we think of anything else, we write it on the list, and maybe add it to the list permanently for next time. I pack and check each item.
When you do a stew all you need is one cup of water. You cook in the oven at 300 °C for around 4 hours always with the lid on. Your meat will become extremely tender because since there is less water, there is more steam. Water boils at 100°C. While steam is 190°C. That's why meat becomes more tender because steam is much hotter than boiling water.
Brings back so many memories 🙂
Hahaha. I do lists and then walk through it in my mind. Love it! Fun camping.
The beautiful one looks fabulous
Yup, you guys are good 👍 🏕️
That’s super cool I love camping I would love to take my family camping
💚 Fun camping trip, thanks for bringing us along 😀 💚
I wonder if you could make carnivore walking tacos with your pork grinds. Seems like a fun take on a traditional camping meal.
My kids love sticking pre-cooked meatballs on sticks and roasting them over the fire for campfire meatball subs.
We use a five gallon beer bottling bucket for our hand wash station. I think you also need a clothes line.
Thanks for sharing !
😱 omg the Salsa 😂 😂 soooo many things, hahaha you guys are going to get there next day hahaha, I remember my camping days when kids were younger. Have Fun!!!
10:57 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can’t stop laughing I get scare too LoL 😂
Some of my best memories with my children are while we were camping!! And with my parents as I was growing up! The fresh air, the water, just sitting by the fire!!! I smile every time I think of any of the camping trips during my 64 years!! Just wonderful!!!
ThT griddle is really nice !
lol ; This is what we do every time we go to town... Our son usually has our glasses or cell phones in hand at the drive way when we arrive back home! :) so funny!!! So good to know we're not the only ones that do this!!!
Thanks for sharing, now I can tell my husband other people make several trips back home also;) but really I remember those camping trips with lots of cousins and the memories created are priceless. Looks like you all had a great time, except Teddy thank god for grandparents ❤️
We have the same tent! It's great.
Some of my best memories are camping with my parents And siblings. In the mountains of North Carolina To the beach at Myrtle Beach. Grew up on a farm and Charlotte. Robert in Atlanta PS there's nothing like the smell of bacon in the mountains.
If you want to cook low and slow over a fire, you build up a nice bed of coals and stay away from flame.
Looks like an awesome time. What campground is this? I want to go.
Henry is having so much fun with that rock and the water. I am in New York State and we are not allowed to transport our own fire wood from one area to another.
Even though it’s a lot of work it’s so much fun and so good for everyone to get away and be outside in nature!
Carnival car camping!!
Hi..... Justin Rhodes and Rebecca and nice to see you all , thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐩🐕🐈🐑🐄🐖🐇🌱🌺🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
Baby Henry is a spitting image of big daddy (Rebecca’s dad).
I was going to say the same thing
Yep that's pretty normal you take everything but the kitchen sink
Hahaha! So typical. You are right on track.
Burn it up cooking show goes camping!!
Forgot one of the kids 🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤ I love y’all
So glad the kids got away from so many chores, and could have some fun.
That full trailer looks about right. When our family of 7 we took about the same amount of stuff. We even had bunk cots for the kids.
First one here all tye way from south africa
Wow, you took the house with you. That is how I like to camp too. Too bad the dog had to be kept on a leash. Henry looked so happy. Looks like everyone had fun. 💖
Henry is living his best life playing in that creek! Lol
good thing you went back for the Salsa or poor Teddy would be all alone
Did they also forget the dog?
Come on mom and dad polar plung! 🤣🤣
You guys are so funny, I haven’t had a laugh like that in a long time..
Y’all are the best! Those kids are growing like weeds and seem so well balanced and happy. Camping is good for the soul:)
Already loved camping in tents with my family, it's the only way to go! Henry was a pro! Glad everyone got away to relax for a few days.
So much fun and happy memories made for the kids 🥰. You are wonderful parents 👍
Beautiful family
There was massive flooding this past week guys... in your area. Likely why is closed
Ah camping……most of your time is spent setting up camp, cooking and cleaning up but it’s so much more relaxing than doing the same things at home! Glad you guys had a good time and now that you have some experience, improve on that for the next family camp out! My husband and I used to camp a lot and most went in September because the parks were not a crowded.
you need list and check off as you pack it
So proud of you dad!!!best wishes always!!!
Truck and if you want covered a cap
That’s why I quit camping. I spent the entire time cooking and washing dishes. Sweeping dirt out of stuff. I relaxed more at home.
Can not tell you how awesome it was to see your family go camping. Something you should do a lot. Maybe spring/summer months. 😉 Had fun watching and joy on kids faces was great.
Check out Cowboy Kent Rollins on UA-cam, if you want to know about cooking outside.
Make sure y’all set your tent up when you get home to dry it out. Mold will destroy it. I learned the hard way.
