Anybody else struggle to get out camping this summer?! For us it has been crazy and certainly more difficult as the kiddos have grown. Or are we the only ones…? Let’s hear it. What was the highlight trip of your summer? Where did you go, what did you see? Why we don't camp anymore...or at least not as much as we used to.
Yes the struggle is real. New jobs over here which creates additional challenges. I remember little league took up so much time years ago. Whenever Frey's get out there - we will be watching.
There certainly is a lot of "life" in life and carving out time for the great outdoors can be challenging, but we still very much appreciate our time together. Thanks for watching and the continued support our community.
Matt, it will get better. We are now on the other end of the stick. Daughter joined the military and is off to college and, son is finishing football and ready to move on to the working world. This will be the last summer we are limited due to other activities. We went to Yellowstone this year as a family, possibly the last family trip but also the best! Now it will be mostly the wife and I venturing about.
Thanks for the words of encouragement and perspective of your kids growing up. It definitely makes me appreciate all the moments we spend together. As the kids have grown, our set-up have changed, but the joy of being outdoors together is still so much fun. Visiting the National Parks is high on my list and would love to continue to check off parks. Yellowstone is awesome and defiantly will be back again. High on my list is the Grand Canyon.
As a free range human (a person with no kids, lol) and a freelancer, I am especially blessed to be able to work wherever I choose. I have camped a TON this year, and am loving it! Miss you guys, tho....a lot.
Indeed. Fall camping is the best! We no longer have our TC, but are still very much teardrop fans. Right now we are just in the rooftop tent, but at some point we will get another TC or Travel Trailer. It has been a learning curve as the kiddos have grown.
@@FreysOnTheSide It is a huge learning curve. I have always camped as a kid and loved it. When I had my own family I knew I wanted to camp, we started out with tents just the wife and I, after the kids were born we got a travel trailer to control the atmosphere. As the kids grew we slowly moved back into the tenting world. The kids, now and when they were in their teens, wanted nothing to do with a trailer, they love to have tents and be on their own so, the wife and I got a TC. We have never fall or winter camped but that is something I am looking forward to do since our schedules have slowly started to open up.
@Yaesucurt What a great perspective and insight. We are still looking to figure out what system will be best for us next, but can envision our path very similar to yours. For me, the "lighthouse beacon" is spending time together outdoors together. Now as an insider for a person that post content on UA-cam, this separates the audience and is difficult to build a community when systems are changing, but end of the day family first.
WI guy here looking to get MORE into camping... Already saw your video on the 7mile plane crash. Anywhere else you recommend? I'll be based out of the Appleton area!
Wisconsin offers a great array of camping from campgrounds to National Forest. We love the State Parks system in Wisconsin. Around Appleton there is Hartman Creek, High Cliff and Peninsula. Peninsula being one of our favorites.

Living the dream! Miss you too! KOAR looked amazing as always.
@@FreysOnTheSide quite a few asked where you were!
Yes. It’s been a rough couple years. Looking forward to Fall camping.
Do you still have your TCTD?
Indeed. Fall camping is the best!
