You ARE the camping Jedeye! 👍😊
Sweet! I like that😁
Hey there, David! You are lucky you're up north, where it might not get too hot at night to sleep in your car. If it does, I suggest a site with electricity, a good sized tent, and an air bed. That idea is from my own plans to work around my own disabilities and camp anyway. In my youth, I was an avid backpacker and tent camper. Unexpected disability and divorce has kept me from fulfilling my retirement dreams of RV travel, but I keep working on my plan B. Good on you for not letting anything keep you from getting out there.
Linda this is a fun little alternative but I still miss my RV😁
I love that NO MATTER what the circumstances You continue to Cook and Eat like a Man of Means!!!!!! Great firepit. Excellent water views. Life is Good. 33 degrees, I know you are missing Florida right about now!!!!
Roberta you are right I do miss Florida however I’m going to embrace wherever I am for sure!😁👍🏿
"The time has finally come. I have to go to the bathroom." I'm sorry but I busted out laughing so hard at that.
lol oh I wish I could have laughed with you😁
We've done tenting, a pickup with a cap on it, and travel trailer camping. Each one has its charms. Breakfast looked awesome. If you've got shelter, bacon, eggs, and hot coffee the essentials are _covered_ . Even after owning a trailer, I'll revert to a tent from time to time depending on where I'm going. My wife on the other hand ... she won't come along unless we're taking the RV.
Thanks... it’s been awhile since I’ve been outside of my RV, missed it... however enjoyed the experience 😊
So glad you are able to get out camping even while the RV is being fixed. So great seeing your smile again. I am sure with a few tweaks and adds you will have the car camping set up comfortable and enjoyable. My tip is get a Utility tent(use for bathroom and storage to keep your stuff dry if it rains) and as you mentioned get the bed comfy. I know you will 'Do" this! Whoo!
Thanks! I’ve seen those “utility” tents and they look cool😊
That's a killer breakfast for a man temporarily without his rv cooking facilities. Still living large man.
Loki... no need to eat poorly on the road😉
Hike looked great and so did breakfast!!! You do it right, David!! There is no quit in this RV Jedeye!! Always a smile....
Thanks... I’m going to keep it going for sure😁
I'm doing the tent camping thing for now and it does suck when you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. That breakfast looks delish. Whether you're in a car, tent or RV... "there's no need to eat poorly on the road" --RV Jedeye
Yes!!!! You get my motto😁
Change is good every now and then. Keep them coming David. Thanks
I will embrace the change😁
I just started watching you. I went back and started watching your other videos. Love them. Enjoying your videos.
Pearl thank you so much for taking the time to do that😁
I know the force is with you when you RV camping, but this was cool to see you getting out in a different way. 👍🏾
I appreciate it. It’s different and fun too😁
Walking trail very nice 👍🏼
Wisconsin campground. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It was gorgeous 😁
God Bless You!!!
Think of you daily, my husband and I love watching your adventures so sorry about your roof. You are the man!
Thanks! So glad you’re along for the ride 😊
Oh man...nothing like a big ol breakfast when camping. On of my favorite things.
Makes it easier to justify a long hike😉
camp breakfast, no matter how you camp is the best. Glad you still got out there!
Thanks! It’s no Airstream but it did the trick 😉
*_Car~V~Jedeye.. very cute!! Great video, thanks for sharing, Lo :)_*
Always 😁
One thing is for sure. That man can _cook._ Thanks for sharing the adventure and making it work. Love the Star Wars T-shirt. Stay safe out there!
lol thanks on both counts!😁
Glad you are out camping again.
Good thinking 🤔 camping in your car.
Very nice campground. Stay warm!
Nice view! Wow 🤩
Beautiful water view.
Going to try to stay as warm as I can😁
First things first, ditch the Log Cabin and find some Wisconsin made Maple Syrup - you owe it to yourself! 😊 Glad you made it to Point Beach - that’s one of my favorite parks! Nice work breaking in the new Coleman - you will get many years out of that! This video is a great reminder of how much I haven’t missed those midnight “nature walks” 🤣 Headed back to Hartman this weekend to try out my new battery setup!
Mike enjoy Hartman... I get why that’s a go to for you for sure😁
Great first time car camping. Awesome meals and spectacular water front. Thank you for sharing and be safe. Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸
Thank you and I hope you and yours are enjoying Memorial Day as well😊
I enjoy your videos and your optimism. Glad to see you out and about, enjoying life.
Pattie just trying to not let things get me down too much😊
Omg that breakfast looked so good. This is the face of a man who needs his RV back!! Do you ever go camping with other people or do you prefer going solo?
The breakfast was awesome 😁
Loved this video! Wasn't sure what you had in store for us and didn't expect car camping. Have to say that it was a pleasant surprise! It was cool to see the camping gear that you brought. Breakfast looked amazing! :) I'm sure you miss your camper but looks like you had a great trip regardless. The park was super cool to see. Looks like a great place. The sound track was really enjoyable. The guitar made me think Mason Williams. Will you try another car camp trip??? Thanks again for your videos my friend!
Rob definitely going to do more before the RV is ready to go😁
Nice way to pivot 👍🏽
Got to keep going right?😊
Way to go! I thought you would have a tent🙂🙂
Not quite tent yet😉
Point Beach is a great park! Nice and cool in the summer
Might have to check it out again when it’s warmer 😉
My man. Innovate, adapt and roll with the punches. I see ya. I'm sure the roof thing probably messed up a lot of things you'd been planning for this season. But August will be here in no time and hopefully this little detour you had to take will open up some new ideas/avenues for you. Look into getting yourself a military grade sleeping bag. I hear that they will have you sweating in the coldest of conditions.
Greg thanks for the sleeping bag advice👍🏿
I have been camping at Point Beach since I was a small child. Great park, Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Jason I enjoyed it and can imagine it when it’s warm😁
Great video. I think you need a jar instead of the long walk in the middle of the night. Haha !
lol that is one thought 😊
Nice change of pace David. This video has a different vibe, and it works. Hope you find some other options what work for men for those middle of the night nature calls. It's no fun having to get out in the dark cold night. What are your thought on sleeping bags? They can be a great alternative to blankets and take up less space when packing up. It's amazing how little we need to chef it up and cook a great meal at camp 😁.
Glad you liked it. Going to keep exploring and doing things a little bit different with the Car Camping stuff👍🏿
Haha, very dramatic and shows the reality of old man (speaking for myself of course!) car and tent camping with the middle of the night bathroom adventure! Exactly the situation I have been in many times. Of course that’s why we prefer RVs right?! Keep going Jedeye. I admire your commitment to not giving up and getting out there!
Jon thanks... this is fun but I miss my RV too😁
You need to get one of those teardrop trailers, I
think your car would pull it. Better then tent camping.
Have fun!
Thanks Paula! This will definitely be an adventure😉
Looks like you had a great time. RV = R ecreational V ehicle
I think your car qualifies for the title. I saw some grade A recreatin' going on. 😁
lol love it!😁
OMG LOVED IT!!!!👍🥰
Cool😁
You’re sure decked out with gear. Nice! I like the floor mat in front of the door. First time car camping with my grandson on Friday/Saturday. It’s supposed to go down to 48 degrees. Yes, it will be fun! But we’re sticking to oat meal, hot dogs, ravioli. And coffee.
Nothing wrong with that! Sounds like great memories to be had😁
Great video, awesome breakfast too, but I miss the "Woooooooo". Lol
Rick… just trying something different for car camping 😁 The Wooo is still around though👍🏿
Dang that breakfast looked good
Ken thanks... love to chef it up👍🏿
I was so excited to see you go car camping! Nice surprise! I just tried RV camping and trying tent camping next.
Cool let me know how it goes 😁
Looks like you had a good time. I'm going to try this myself soon in my car.
It can be fun definitely 👍🏿
Great video. I'm doing the same thing this weekend for the first time in my Crosstrek. Expecting 34 F overnight, thunderstorms and rain. Will be awesome!
Terry you know a little weather at night is fun and cozy... until that 3am bathroom break 😂
The music's pretty good.
Thanks 👍🏿
Car-V-Jedeye! Love it. Glad you got out there and enjoyed. Let's hope the weather gets warmer for you. Thanks for taking us a along. Safe travels.
I have a feeling it will warm up...... eventually 😂
Nice video! You put a lot of work into it!
Thanks Al! I try😁
When a brother eyes are watering. It's cold outside.
lol I made it through though😁
Glad I found your channel! I hike, backpack, and tent camp. Mostly in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. I am planning to do a little car camping as well to see if it is something I might like. Great channel. Thanks for sharing! BTW, I was born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin. I now live in Virginia.
Cool! Glad you found me and you like the vids👍🏿 Car camping has been a blast
All of your meals look amazing! Thanks for always sharing.
Thanks! Have a good one coming out this Sunday 😉
@@RVJedeye Many thanks for the heads-up. I'll look out for it. Good luck with everything!
You got it I hope you enjoy 😁
I "pickup" camp, if you want to call it that. One thing I learned after my stay in the hospital a few years ago is how handy the small urinals can be. Beats crawling out of the truck in the middle of a cold night.
Gary thanks... that could be an option 👍🏿
Great video. It's good to see the new spinoff show "Car V Jedeye" My family and I were at Point Beach that same weekend in our tents. We saw you, or at least I did, but nobody believed me. Next time I'll remember to say Hi. Keep on rocking.
Please do John. I hope you guys had a great time😊
So um....are you single? I love the camping lifestyle and I'm from Wisconsin too 🤣🤣 Great video and nice park
☺️... yes and thanks for watching 😁
My first thought was that you would never sleep in that car comfortably! I am not a fan of cold weather and don't think I could handle a night in the car when it's that cold. You do need a camping buddy. I wish I could sit with you and chat when you are eating alone. You did it right though and got your meals cooked. I bet you missed your movies! HUGS~Donna
Donna thanks for watching and I hope it will get warmer the next time I’m out😁
I love you videos
Been there last year! Lovely park, but for some reason when I was there, it seemed terribly unfriendly? Maybe just the group when I was there... Let me know how you like it! I am currently at Kohler-Andrae SP, thanks to YOUR recommendation, and I LOVE it! Will be doing a shout out to you in my blog. :)
Thank you so much! I love Kholer-Andrae & so happy you’re having fun. You know I was in the tent camping side and I’m wondering if that makes a difference?🤓
@@RVJedeye YW! And....maybe? (tent camping) Again, coulda just been the group that was there when I was there. Enjoy!
I feel you😊
Nice change up
Thank you Mr. Shaft... you’re a bad mother... 😮 I’m just talking about Mr. Shaft😎
Do you plan on purchasing a tent while you wait for your RV to be repaired? That would be much more comfortable than sleeping in the car. Plus, you can put a buddy heater in the tent to keep warm during those cool nights. I also have a portable bathroom set-up so I don’t have to to walk to bathroom in the middle of the night.
Not sure. The RV IS coming back so this is a great quick option. I keep looking at others doing it and they look comfortable 😁
Learned about car camping after I traded in my Fit then Impreza. Now have a short bed Canyon which is too small even to go diagonal in the back. Prius camping has piqued my interested because of the auto onboard heat and air conditioning while you sleep inside. All my gear is tent camping based so I'll probably be sticking to that than drop $8-10K and make my truck and a lot of my gear possibly irrelevant. Tenting secret is always have an empty gatoraid or large bottle on hand to avoid the "night run."
Croaker great info... thanks for the share and watching 😁
A 4 person tent and an inflatable mattress and you would be soooooooo much more comfortable for under $100. A couple sleeping bags too! LETS DO THIS!
I'd go with cot with a thin camp mattress on top of it.
That’s definitely one way of doing it 😁
Another good option 👍🏿
Like the music.
Thanks!😁
Wow it's 37 degrees there, and 85 here, come here and warm up🙂
Sounds amazing 😁
Nice breakfast 🍳
Always try to enjoy a good meal😉
@@RVJedeye we have a Crosstrek too but it’s third on the list for camping. We have a camper van and a cargo trailer.
How do you like your cargo trailer?
@@RVJedeye we just drove from Massachusetts to Georgia and back to pick it up. Got back yesterday. Bought cabinets today and I will start building this week. Towed like it was on rails because of the tandem axles. It’s 6x12 and will be a simple build, bunks, storage bench seats and table, cabinets, fridge, porta potty, solar.
What park are you at it is beautiful!
Point Beach State Forest 👍🏿
Watching you load up your car, and wondering if you were moving or camping.
lol... it is definitely something I have to get better at😂
I'm too much of a wimp...to camp in a car in 30s-AND take a 3a.m. trip to the loo in those temps!! I'd best MOST grown men would have just looked for the nearest tree/ bush. 😆 Sure hope you get your r v back sooner than expected. Although that breakfast was pretty darn good w/o all the conveniences.
lol it was an interesting start to this experiment 🤓
Your breakfast 🥞 🍳 look good.
Yummy 😋
Why thank you! More to come for sure😁
David I missed the “let’s do this”
Trying to do things a little different for the car stuff😉
Nice video. I think videos distort sizes of things. I'm like how are you fitting in there it doesn't look long enough, lol. How tall are you? Stay safe!
5’10 and yes I do fit in nicely. Keep checking out the videos especially the latest I made a purchase to get even more room😉
Where did you get the coffee filter ?
Let me find the link for you...
Primula Brew Buddy Portable Pour Over, Reusable Fine Mesh Filter, Dishwasher Safe, Single Cup of Coffee or Tea At Any Strength, Ideal For Travel or Camping, Red www.amazon.com/dp/B0087SPTLC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_T1XKRZG9Q91YNDC9EKKP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I was wondering the same thing!
If I ate all that food for breakfast I’d be ready for a nap.
That’s why there is always a good hike after breakfast 😁
What are you listening to during your hike ?
A mix... music sometimes... a podcast others😊
We were worried that without you RV home we not see the beauty of your face, but I woke up and just check my computer to see you were there, we love how strong you not let this one thing stop you . Thank you for you. Please be careful, I wish I could bring a nice cup of tea to you.
I will be careful and share all of the fun🤓
Camping again! 🤸♀️🤾♂️ Get a below 0 sleeping bag..
Will consider it for sure!👍🏿
the music is a bit strange.
I’ll have to go back and listen 😁
I've been watching your videos for some time now and I've always said there's something missing I know it is you need a furry buddy whether it be a dog or a cat
My daughter says I need a dog and one day I will... love a good snuggle 🤗
I'm actually a female (seriously ) and I tihnk that you are cute and would love to snuggle up with you. I lived in Wisconsin for a few years.
Awww thanks☺️
The music is so annoying.
Sorry you didn’t enjoy
Do you you'dbe more comfortablein a tent? I've done both car and tent and a tent is so much better. Please buy some real maple syrup, you're killing me with the sugar syrup in a bottle.
Have to make some tweaks but I think the car is going to work👍🏿
