How do you handle bathing and financial stuff? I'm about to have to do some car camping myself. I have above average survival etiquette, but it coming up on Summer...yeah gonna wanna keep hygienic
Did not have time to mention in the video, but also why I have my two cheapest blades on that back panel. The folding knife is sub $10 and the Mora is under 20. Don’t keep my nice knives in my car for that reason 😊
@@te9591 As expensive as you want it to be. My present (fourth) bike is an alloy hardtail 27.5" that has lasted four years now. If you ride the really rough trails, the frames eventually crack. I paid $800 for it new (Cannondale Cujo). The full-suspension carbon fiber bikes get well into four figures, but my Cujo is more capable than I am. Then there's helmet, tire pump, carry rack, clothing, tools & lubes, and bike maintenance. And travel expenses if you ride distant trails. Not cheap, but doable for most, and probably more economical than going to ski resorts. I'd ride more if I didn't have this darned knife addiction!
Great. I like it. Good Equipment. I have also a lot of this on my car. Many people laughs about it, but when they are in trouble they ask me for a Knife or Tool and so on. And always a Rucksack with Cloves and Medic. Bugoutbag. Need it for a overnighter for example. Greetings from Germany. BTW... I Like your Videos Very much. Sorry , my english is not the best. Don`t use it daily
You are an amazing smart woman and it would be great if you could train other women about all this edc preparedness stuff! I've learned so much from you. Thank you
Bad news is if there a forest fire near ya and your wearing under armour best thing you can do is strip it off you and fast because there's rumors it can melt to your skin. So yeah I carry spare normal clothes for that reason
That's a lot of stuff for sure. My concern is the location of the extra bungee cords on the side of the headrest. A quick flip of one of those long beautiful braids could have you caught up in a painful trap while driving! Perhaps a lower mounting place is in order? Skal
I like ladies like her more women should think like her. She's prepared. It's the best feeling when things go wrong and you in a situation where a lady like this thinks several steps ahead and then preparing like this will never fix everything but it definitely feels good because it helps those situations. I think any preper would agree you can't prepare for everything and no one thing will fix everything but it's definitely good when several things help the tough situations
I might have to check out that Moki step, my overland rig got kinda tall last year lol in a good way. I've been thinking about behind the seat storage like that in my 4 Runner. The roof top tent freed up some inside space and is fun. I have the Yakima Skie Ridge and it has skylights you can open up and stand in and it has 2 wich is cool.
nice yes ma'am is that a jeep not een to many newer ones mine were cj7,5 few wranglers now my little sammy gets joculous if id take a newer jeep . lol nic work on edc looking sharp as always
@MelissaBackwoods. If yiu dont mind,I took screenshots of some of your setup behind the drivers side so I can come up with some of my own ideas. Your setup rocks!!
And the most important thing: Knowledge. Without this, you can have the perfect set up, but it will be useless after all

Mouth guard for biking? You should use your mouth guard when talking about California knife laws since you don't know what you're talking about
Definitely throw a towel over that when you stop.
Your car is better equipped for an emergency than most people 👍
Cool stuff, personally I don’t like the idea of displaying gear. Especially weapons. Don’t give crazies a reason to break into your car.

@@MelissaBackwoods gotcha. Not judging. Just a personal preference.
One could drape a cloth over it all that hangs from the top.
That’s a great setup , nice I like it !
100% Agree!
More stuff in your car than I have in my whole house.
I gotta ask a favour. Please stop being so gosh darned cute.
The coolest thing was the Bobby Hill patch I love that episode 😂
I had that stuff until someone smashed the window and relived me of my investment! 💩💀
So true
Some junkie/gangster car thief in Oakland
Got my travel kit
So aggravating
A Mora knife! That was a flirt (to my Swedish heart)! 😊
Love Mora. Still dirt cheap for the quality
You mentioned “mountain biking”? You got me. You are my kind of girl. 🥰
I would add a reflective vest, for personal safety 😄
Good idea!
Dang, I live pretty good with a knife and a case of beer, but you've got it going on Melissa!😊
Wow your well prepared as beautiful 😊
That EDC Pouch with all those goodies is BA
Come on now couldn't you fit a couple more knives on that setup!
lol
I’m in love with it I’ll give you 10 rating
Wow, thats amazing. Mouth guard for mountain biking is neat.
Nicely thought out loadout. I don't wear a mouth guard for mountain biking, although there were a couple of times----
@@blondhairblackstrat how expensive is it to get into mountain biking?

Ok looks like we’re all missing out on an awesome camping trip!
You and my daughter would get aong great. She solo camps outdoors and her vehicle looks the same. All very good gear.
Good lay out for crooks!
awesome setup melissa ..take care
Like my Dad used to say:" Best to be prepared."
This is why I have many pockets on my clothes, lol.
😮 if you living in California, your car window will be break every single day, I promise!

I'm going to marry this woman someday. (If she isn't married already.)😅
He's in the front seat. 😅
Does she have any unmarried sisters?
Girl you're Awsome
Awesome setup.
Under armour has been my best friend for camping I got under armour for cold nights and under armour for extreme hot days ❤
Bad news is if there a forest fire near ya and your wearing under armour best thing you can do is strip it off you and fast because there's rumors it can melt to your skin. So yeah I carry spare normal clothes for that reason
She is just amazing
Never knew that mountain bikers use both guards.
Well done. Thks 4 sharing!

Love the bobby hill, thats my favorite episode
That's a lot of stuff for sure. My concern is the location of the extra bungee cords on the side of the headrest. A quick flip of one of those long beautiful braids could have you caught up in a painful trap while driving! Perhaps a lower mounting place is in order? Skal
Very cool
Cool mb, love you
Omg I'm in love 🥰😄
That’s actually a pretty good set up girl.

You're very smart and very ready! Me you never need it and may the world come together in harmony exclamation point you are ready though
Dang it Bobby 🤣
Police: Mam, is there any drugs in the car?
Melissa: Just some medications and all that good stuff.
Who doesn’t have that goose patch? 👋🏻😎
Really smart to bike with a Mouth guard
You’re prepared for whatever life throws your way
I like the suetup suis from iron wolf 😊❤

Viking Spark™ | Whetstone Sharpener & Fire Starter Necklace 😂😂😂

Very nice 😊. I was looking for your water filter/purification kit.
Holy smokes!
There's a bunch of Battlbox items in that setup!
"Mouthguard for fighting and stuff."
Cool gear! But, can you imagine what her car will look like when she has kids?
I’m in the middle of putting together a car bugout bag myself; still need a few more things.
I have a better idea! Hot tub,hotel room,movie shower ! Well just a thought!!!!!❤❤❤
Can we get a tour of your bunker? 😅
What is that knife? The lock back OD green folder?
You are beyond cool.
Come to guelph radial line trail. I used to car camp now im flat out camping. Victoria rd. S.
Makes sense the women with a lot of blades has a lot of bandages. 😀
Hi there? Love your stuff. Have any reviews or own any Extrema Ratio knives?
Give me a Bowie knife and a six pack of beer 😁
🔥🔥🔥
Smart girl
What a woman. Wish I was was 40 years younger. They don't make them like this anymore. Few and far between
Oh are there any meal bars and water filter straws
But where’s the 🏈? Lol 😝
