Thank you for watching! Hope this video is helpful as you prepare for your next car camping trip. Check the description box above for links to some of the clothes I mentioned! 💚
This is so great! I love getting information like this when I'm still learning! I love how you emphasize the importance of sleeping with clothes that will keep you warm and dry and safe.
Good stuff 👍🏽😃 One of my MUST HAVES when we go camping is I always bring a winter style beanie to wear when I sleep. Even in the summer months I bring it. You lose so much heat from the top of your head and it is usually the only part of you that is sticking out from your bag or blanket haha so it can easily get chilly which can make it tough to stay comfortable and sleep through the night. So at least for me, I’ve found that really makes a difference. 😊🤙🏽
Thank you so much for this suggestion! I planned a camping trip for this weekend without checking the low temp for the nights. We’re camping in northern PA 😅 Bought a sleeping pad to top our air mattress, and will bring alllll the blankets but this is simply genius. I’m feeling way better about it now. Thx ☺️
@@terrivelazquez4974 Hahaha no prob we just went camping in our last video just this past weekend! And I was cold! 😂 Also try hand warmers in pockets and bag, stick on body warmers (opened an hour before needing them), you can also boil water and pour it in thick plastic water bottles with secure lids and put the bottles in your tent and bag! Hope you have a blast and stay warm! 😊🤙🏽
Great Video Amanda I like Wool clothing around a campfire because those flying fire embers don’t burn holes through wool. I always pack for cold and hot weather when camping because weather is unpredictable here in Colorado, Look forward to more of your videos, You always look good with your clothing selections in your videos keep up the great content Amanda! 😀
One of my most valuable articles of camp clothing is a lightweight neck gaiter (I use Buff brand). It can be dipped in water to cool your neck during a hot day, or worn dry to warm the neck & head during cool days or nights. It's easy to wrap around the forearm or wrist to keep it out of the way if desired. It takes up no space at all & is easy to wash out & quickly dry. I keep one in my bike bag, jacket pocket, etc so it's always handy. I also wear one while gardening to keep cool, and during winter to keep me a little warmer in my drafty old house.
This is so great! It would have been really helpful when I started car camping 14 years ago. Also really like the phrase “roughed up” re: how things get while camping. I’ve always struggled to explain what happens to clothes… they don’t get ruined, but they’re unlikely to be “nice” after camping unless you’re really careful.
When I car camp with my family, I take a mesh laundry bag for all of our dirty clothes. It is a great way to keep the clean and dirty clothes separate! And wonderful suggestion to always have your rain gear no matter what the weather forecast says (I always do as well)....better safe than sorry! Another tip is to always bring an extra pair of socks than what you think you will need because you never know!!
I love camping 🏕 and you have a ton of tips on your channel. Thanks a lot for sharing. I feel like u and Nick should do more cooking videos while camping or just hanging around your campsites too. P.s. a dog might make your videos and trips even more fun than they already probably are. Thanks again for the great content and tips. Happy camping
Totally agree with you about the sleep-only clothes. Always have a packable rain jacket and an extra layer. It often gets colder at night than you expect. Also, I recommend a knit hat to wear to bed. Keeping your noggin warm makes a chilly night bearable. Finally, when it comes to sitting around the fire in jacket weather, choose wool. Wool won't catch fire or melt like synthetic.
I was ready to upgrade some of my clothing, and bought the Carhartt utility leggings. OMG. Game changer. I have a few pairs of nylon zip off pants for the warmer weather, but these were amazing for PA in the fall. Great suggestion!
I got the prana canyon joggers based on your recommendation from another video and they are my favourite for hiking/camping/adventuring. I even swam in them yesterday (impromptu swimming hole discovery with kids around) and they were great! They were able to dry off while I was wearing them and stayed super comfortable.
In a previous video, you recommended neoprene socks for hikes in cold water. Not sure which one so I will comment here. The socks are fabulous! We recently rafted down the Colorado River and they were lifesavers for us, given the cold temperature of the water. Thank you for suggesting these. Otherwise we would not have to known to buy them.
You mentioned growing up on East coast….I’m looking for some great camping spots in and around MD, could you make any suggestions on locations or resources?
I love your videos I think they are very informative. I have a question for you do you take string cheese and some other cheese out with you when you do hiking and are going to be out a couple of days?? How do you pack them if you take them??
Layers are key and being honest with yourself. Are you going wear the same favorite shorts during the day and the same pants by the fire for the entire weekend? Do you need to bring more than 1-2 pairs for 4 days since you aren't wearing it all day and always grab your favorites? Did I spill ketchup or kids dirty hands on my BLACK shirt (never white in my closet, lol) - quick cleanup and no one will know. I do however like a clean outfit to wear home with a hat (camping hair - need I say more) so your not extra grungy if you see a cute patio for lunch or breakie on the drive home. For car camping with a beach nearby, I usually bring one light sweater (think long t-shirt with a hood like a sun/bug shirt) and a thick sweater for by the fire at night. One pair of pants, one beach outfit (shorts, sun shirt, and bathing suit with towel) and leggings/capris and clean shirt for each day. Any close layers that you sweat in I want a clean version the next day. Outer layers repeat the entire weekend.
Do you have a clothes organization system in your car or any preferred way of packing your clothes when car camping? Oh! And thank you for linking the items on your vlog!
When I go car camping, I usually pack all my clothes in a duffle bag and store that in the car. Sometimes bigger warmed jackets don't fit in the duffle, so I just leave them on top so they're easy to grab. Within the duffle, I do try to keep things neat and organized so I can easily find things. For smaller items like underwear and socks, I zip them into pouches in the duffle so I always know where they are! 😁
Interested in the Carhartt leggings you're wearing, but reviews online say the waistband doesn't stretch much, making them hard to get over a muscular booty and still fit at the waist. Have you found this to be true, and would you mind sharing what size you got in those?
I would say that the reviews are true. I had to go up a size. I'm wearing a Medium tall. They fit great around my quads, but unfortunately the waistband is a little big for me. I kept them because it's hard to find pants like that that are long enough and I really do love the look and durability of them. I've been rolling down the waistband, but I think I might just get it taken in so it fits perfectly.
When you talk about clothes, could you tell us what's good for guys to wear? What's Nick wear? Does he use 3 layer approach? Would a rain poncho over this be too much?
Nick still thinks about the same type of things. He has the same jacket in mens from Carhartt and definitely always brings layers and rain gear. Staying dry is definitely important, so I would bring whatever gear you have to stay dry in the event of a storm. Nick and I have rain pants and rain jackets that protect against rain and wind!

I bring my work pants, sweatpants, and a couple of shirts. my wife brings her whole closet.
haha that's me and my husband too😅

I'm so glad this video was helpful! Thank you for watching 😁
@@amanda.outside Of course! I love your content!! :D You're brilliant!
You forgot one very important line of clothing. The Amanda Outside shirts and hoodies! Love love love mine! Very comfortable around camp! ⛺👕
I'm so glad you love it!! 🤗 Thank you for your support!
How does one get these goodies and tees... 🤩
Where can I find one?
Whaaa? Carhartt makes leggings? Good tip on the small embers/sparks on my down vest or layering piece.
Yea they make a couple different pairs of leggings! I actually wanted them both, but limited myself to one for now 😊

I definitely love camp cooking and want to do more videos on that! Hopefully one day we'll get a dog to take camping. Thank you for commenting 😁
Nice overview - useful not to underestimate planning for clothes on camping trips.
Totally agree with you about the sleep-only clothes. Always have a packable rain jacket and an extra layer. It often gets colder at night than you expect. Also, I recommend a knit hat to wear to bed. Keeping your noggin warm makes a chilly night bearable. Finally, when it comes to sitting around the fire in jacket weather, choose wool. Wool won't catch fire or melt like synthetic.
And yet another great and informative video, Amanda! You’re amazing. We’re you into camping when you were a kid?
Thank you James! I did go camping a little bit as a kid, and those trips are some of my favorite childhood memories. 😁
Great content. Love your shirt. TFS💖
Thank you!! 💚
I was ready to upgrade some of my clothing, and bought the Carhartt utility leggings. OMG. Game changer. I have a few pairs of nylon zip off pants for the warmer weather, but these were amazing for PA in the fall. Great suggestion!
I love horse back riding trousers, as they have a layered back and inner thigh, which is durable and they're comfy
I got the prana canyon joggers based on your recommendation from another video and they are my favourite for hiking/camping/adventuring. I even swam in them yesterday (impromptu swimming hole discovery with kids around) and they were great! They were able to dry off while I was wearing them and stayed super comfortable.

Great info! Thank you!
You mentioned growing up on East coast….I’m looking for some great camping spots in and around MD, could you make any suggestions on locations or resources?
Great video Amanda, I guess if you have the car you can take extra clothing.
Yea the extra space in the car is nice. I would much rather pack a little extra than be freezing cold! Thank you for watching 😁
Absolutely love the down jacket - those colors! Where did you get that one? Plus, love the one you are wearing! So cute with those leggings….
Great video !!!! Good tips, I Love your Shirt !!!!

Oh and ALWAYS plan for a day of rain.
I want you to show me what you wear for camp underwear and how you put it on

@@amanda.outside I was going to say exactly that about the underwear and socks! That is exactly what I do!

@@amanda.outside Thank you for your kindness in replying. One more question, do you guys use a 4 wheel drive car?
You're great, interesting, intelligent good looking and have a sweet voice to listen to. Keep up the awesome job !😉👣
WAIT!! There is clothing that protects against mosquitos? Really
Yea you can buy mesh pants and shirts that the mosquitos can't get through! You can also get head nets that you put over a hat to protect your face.
I swear I’ve met you before.
