  • Join us on another fun camping trip to Yosemite during the summer! See what it’s like to camp at one of the most distinct and beautiful national parks in the country.
    We’ll rent bikes at Curry Village and bike around the valley, stopping frequently to take photos at all the scenic spots and to soak up the nature. We’ll also stop by Mirror Lake, Ahwahnee Hotel, and hike Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias. And of course, we’ll be making yummy food and s’mores over the open campfire. And to cap off a great trip, we’ll do some stargazing at night.
    Check out our first yosemite camping trip here: • camping at yosemite na...
    Our gear:
    - 6-person Core Pop-Up Tent (life changing and so easy to put together): amzn.to/4cCo4Ss
    - Tent tarp (basic must have): amzn.to/3zqViFM
    - Camping cooking utensils set (has everything you need, and is surprisingly sturdy/heavy duty quality, not flimsy): amzn.to/3zqViFM
    - Double burner camp stove (love it, but be warned, it's kinda hard to clean): amzn.to/4eCvUx8
    - Stanley camp stainless steel cookware set (I was adamant about using only stainless steel because I fear PFAs in nonstick cookware lol): amzn.to/45HWFfF
    - Kelty love seat camping chair for 2 people: amzn.to/4clQ4d9
    (BUT I recommend getting the three seater one, so you have a space to put random stuff -- I wish I saw this before buying my two seater: amzn.to/3W07d5p)
    - Coleman 10x10 Mesh Tent (MUST HAVE for preventing bugs while you're eating and prepping food, but I recommend getting an even bigger one for additional room to roam): amzn.to/4cyYjCo
    - RTIC cooler (just as good as a Yeti, and keeps the food cold all weekend long): amzn.to/3L0Hy7q
    - cordless hand-held car vacuum (nice to have but not strictly necessary): amzn.to/4cyloFh
    - Water dispenser jug (it's cheaper at home depot): www.homedepot.com/p/IGLOO-10-...
    - Collapsible sink/buckets 2-pack (SO useful for washing dishes and carrying toiletries to the bathroom): amzn.to/4cwiYYl
    - Hammock (Chesley always brings it, but TBH you're usually out and about hiking so there's not a ton of time to chill in the hammock): amzn.to/3zkgqh9
    - Extra large picnic blanket to use as picnic table cover: amzn.to/3XFvv71
    - NEMO roamer double sleeping pad (very $$ but worth every penny as an investment piece and for an incredible night's sleep outdoors): amzn.to/45NuN9N
    - NEMO Jazz double sleeping bag (perfectly fits the nemo mattress): amzn.to/3xJZIXQ
    - Coleman Skyshade Screen Dome Canopy Tent: amzn.to/3VN4Y5k
    - Extra long s’mores skewer sticks: amzn.to/3KYxcVp

      Yes, that must have been so frustrating! The parking at yosemite is very limited. Hopefully you get a chance to visit again!

    Did you go stargazing at Tuolomne Meadow at the end of the video? I’m going to Yosemite next week and that seems like a great idea! Glad you had a great time with your friends. ❤

      Hi, we went stargazing at Cook's Meadow, which is near Curry village and the campsite. Anywhere along the meadow loop is a great spot to stargaze. Have fun at Yosemite!

    When was your trip at Yosemite? I'm going next week during independent day weekend. Also in upper Pines for 3 nights. I plan to visit mirror lake and wondering if there's still have good amount of water flow.

    How do you always get campsite reservations ??? Im so jealous

    • @iriswoohoo
      @iriswoohoo  8 днів тому +1

      With lots of hopes and prayers. Your best bet is to rally a group of friends to get up at 6:30am, open up a bunch of browser windows with campsites you want to snag, and have everyone smash that 'reserve' button the moment the time hits 7am sharp. You'll have to basically book it 5 months ahead -- right when the reservations system opens up.
