    Happy holidays Mrs. Angela! My name is Raina, I am a recently new subscriber from Maryland and I absolutely love your videos. You are an inspiration to me living your best life! I am recently retired(July 2024) and desire to be a future glamper. I have been gathering some materials over the past couple years preparing for this new side of life. I already love long walks outdoors, kayaking, and nature in general, but videos like yours and others have inspired me to step into the world of day camping(not quit ready for overnight just yet :) I saw your most recent video, and heard your response to the person who commented negatively about your camping style. Your response was classy and to the point. As a future camper, it is your "glamping" style that encourages me to want to get into a lifestyle that I might otherwise might not try because it would seem to rugged and uncomfortable for my liking. I love the outdoors, but I like comfort too and I don't apologize for that. It is my prayer that you not be discouraged by the naysayers. As a woman of color, you are an inspiration to others out here who want to venture into new things but may be a little hesitant to try something new. Please keep creating wonderful, relaxing, beautiful content. You never know whose life you are touching.

      @RainaFrye Raina, I'm so glad you feel inspired! My goal is to help others enjoy the outdoors and make it easier by sharing all the things I find that will bring life to your camp set up. I love that you’re finding your way to that! Roughing is fine if that's what one prefers but why if you don't have to. Im super excited for you on this journey and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I'm working on a camp meet up in the Spring particularly for those that are hesitant about over night camping so would love for you to participate. once I work out the details I will make a video annoncing if. Happy camping my dear!

    You inspire so many of some us women to get out there and try it. Camp the way you want to and eat whatever you want. I follow a man in New Zeland who camps off grid a whole lot in rain and snow. That man makes the best meals!! So don't worry about a thing. I applauded you for your glamping🎉

    What is camping? Camping is simply stepping outside you comfort zone and enjoying all that God created in whatever manner you feel comfortable. Took my wife camping for the first time and set her up to sleep in the back of are SUV. Told me afterward it was one of most enjoyable vacation next to her trip to Paris. Merry Christmas to you.

    One Of the Best parts of camping solo or with one other person is, you can make whatever you want to eat. Because that is what you have a taste for. And some people can't eat hotdogs, or hamburgers it will make them sick. So it doesn't matter what you are eating when you go camping.

    Hey Sweetie pie! Happy Holidays! 26 degrees? 🥶 But you have it looking nice and cozy as usual. You have a way of making winter camping look like the best time to camp! 😄That fire on the tent was so cool!
    Caught me looking crazy 🤪😂Thank you! I really wasn't expecting that! LOL It was either garlic or onion powder. I know for sure it wasn't mustard 😆 But I'm happy it turned out ok.
    Exactly camping is what you want it to be! People always want to put everything in a box and label it. 🙄
    Sending Love! Be Safe and Happy Camping! 🥰 And I Love your little Christmas decorations, how cute.

    Hello Beautiful Lady! I really enjoy your videos, very realistic and down to earth. My family and I along with another family just came back from a weeklong Group camping! We had a blast! I love to camp with all my necessities and what's going to make me comfortable. I lack and want nothing when I go camping, because I make sure I have what I need! My Hubby and 2 sons thinks I'm crazy but everybody's happy when we set up and ready to camp! Our 12 person Cabin takes literally less than 10 minutes to set up. Now, to finish setting the inside is another story 🤣again, I wanna be comfortable!! The one new thing I need to add to my camp kitchen is..." Double cooktop Electric stove"! (Amazon) The other family had one she plugged into a generator, let's just say when my propane ran out, I used her cooktop, and we were all happy campers 😃! So yes...camping is whatever makes you and your family happy.
    Let no one still your joy! 😉 Camping from NE Florida! By the way...temps dipped into the low 30's every night 🥶

      Im so happy you and your family has a wonderful time! Although I love solo camping, there is nothing like camping with family or a group.I had a blast with my family camp back in September and I can't wait to do it again. You know, I don't think I could ever do regular camping. I mean, what's the fun in that?.. People like you and me bring life to a camp and despite our craziness with it, others get to reap the beautiful benefits cause if you are like me, you think of "EVERYTHING!" I bring a "just in case" for the "just in case." LOL I need to find me an electric cooktop as well but I love my propane stoves. Oh and hey, don't be surprised if you see me camping in Florida because that is my goal when camping season is full swing is to hit the road and do some camping in the Sunshine State. Happy Holidays Ms. Emmy and thank you so much for taking time to leave a comment. I absolutely love interacting with everyone!

    Sis, all I can say is do your thing girl. Never mind what someone else's perception of camping may be. I cook ribeye steaks, and full breakfasts when I go camping. Never let someone dictate your camping experience or menu. Annndddd, Never mind commenting on someone's apparent ignorance of what they think a thing should be. Let him/her eat stinking hotdogs and red bull, while you fine dine in the outdoors. 😁😇🥶

      LMBO... not "stinking hotdogs and red bulls." Girl this has me cracking up. Im not bothered but I wanted to share it so others understand especially those that are getting into this whole camping thing that you don't need to follow anyone's rules except for your own. Camp how you want to camp. Shoot, we need to meet up and do a camp so I can get one of those ribeyes.

    Tent considered a 4 person or 6-person?

    One of the reasons why I'm a pack rat when camping because you never know what might happen or what's not available. Always carry a power station or two when camping just in case

      @rickharris8769 Yep I'm that bring a back up.fpr the back up kinda person and thank goodness that's part of my personality. According to the description this is a 6-7 person only if you are ice fishing but a 2 person if camping with room for a queen air mattress or two reg size cots. It doesn't come with a floor which I mentioned. And yep they have a propane refill station onsite. My gauge was showing it was low (in the yellow) so I wasn't sure about the rate it was burning since it was going all day. But you are right, 30 lbs should last way longer than 2 days but I think this Mr Heater burn rate is a lot faster than they indicate. I know they mention the one pounder on low will give you 11 hours. That is absolutely not the case. Anyhoodles, I believe my gauge reading was wrong and not working properly be/c it only filled with 2lbs. Again this goes back to my nature of having a back up for the back up. You just never know when camping and I wasn't taking any chances in freezing temperatures. The noise was bearable. I was able to tune it out.

      @TraceyJones-tw1kk See Tracey that's exactly why I switched to a cot. I had several air mattress that did the same. Im really loving the cots especially for the under carriage storage which air mattress cant give you. Here is the link to the cot used in the video & if you prefer a queen cot let me know & ill.provide you with the link as well.

    People kill me when they say you're not camping when you have the comforts of home in a tent. Then they want to say you're "Glamping". But I never hear people say you're not camping when you have an RV with a bathroom w/ shower, full kitchen, queen sized mattress, 50" TV, really??? People have been RVing forever but as soon as tenters make things "AS" comfortable, then they're no longer camping. Make that make sense.🤷
