    “I only have one volume” she is so dang cute! Y’all should try camping with a military dad. Your tent is a rope and a tarp. You learn how to start a fire just by staring long enough at the wood. Good times though, wouldn’t trade it for anything! lol

      For those not from the midwest; it's not salad like at all. It's a cream cheese and jello based dessert with a pretzel crust that is scooped onto your plate along with all the other potluck food. It is occasionally eaten off it's own plate, but only if you don't have enough space and must resort to using a second plate as a dessert plate.

    We call it glamping when we are camping in our rv. We used to love to camp with our boys but hated camp potties. When we adopted our girls we switched to an Rv because one of them has to take to injections daily that have to be kept refrigerated. Can’t do that in a tent and wanted the girls to still experience the outdoors. We’ve taken our RV so many more places than we ever camped and actually leave the state for two week trip adventures each year now. I think glamping still counts. 🤗

      @KatieCottingham 3 роки тому +4

      I would counter the claim you can't manage refrigeration while tent camping with years of managing it with a mini fridge for meds more than 15 years ago. You need an electrical hookup, so it's not camping in the sticks, but you can definitely still be in a tent and have space.

      @@KatieCottingham very true indeed and I’m very glad that worked so well for your family. In our case, my daughter also can’t regulate her body temp. If we are in temps over 80 degrees she starts to overheat (she can’t sweat and she can’t run a temperature when she is sick either). We adopted our kiddos and this little angel survived severe abuse and is a miracle to be alive having survived broken arms, legs, ribs and a severe brain bleed all as a 4 lb infant. Amidst other issues, the brain bleed destroyed her endocrine system. We aren’t sure her life expectancy because she has already outlived the odds twice, so we make every accommodation we can to make sure she has as “normal” a life as possible considering her rough start. If that means RV so that she can see national parks and experience and see historic places first hand, then we will pay for one and take that adventure with her! 😀

    That tent looks like it’s a 60 year old design. 😂
    Interestingly, mounting your food in a tree is no longer permitted in many places. The bears have learned to climb. So you’re required in many places to have a bear barrel. Though most designated campgrounds just offer bear lockers.

      I think the issue is that it's hard to hang a bear bag properly. I am pretty sure the bears are just like "oh hey it's a snack and all I have to do is climb up there and reach over a bit". I only have experience hiking in black bear country (and would like to keep it that way, no grizzlies or polar bears for me please!)

      @@marcw6875 yes, that’s true, but in California we have such a population of bears who taught each other how to knock down bags that the bag method is banned by the Park Service and Forest Service. The bears have learned that they can’t access the barrels, so if you put your stuff in a barrel outside of camp you’re much more likely to have food in the morning.

    Camping is in tents! We would stay in my aunt and uncle's camper when we visited them in Texas because of the problems with critters on their ranch but any other time we were pitching tents. My sisters and I learned how to get a ground cover down and a tent up in the rain, in the dark, in less than 30 minutes on one adventure. We tent camped our way across the US damn near and had a great time, despite the typical complaints and fights you'd expect of three girls. Central Illinois to Niagara Falls, next year to Washington DC, the following to Yellowstone. We did sleep in the car our first night in Yellowstone then ended up in a cabin because our parents pitched their tent and had parts stolen in the night by other campers - kinda put a damper on that section. Plus the wolves were heavy in the area and pretty though they were, we all decided they were prettier from behind a window.
    I'd love to do a camp across America trip, but campgrounds are expensive and gone are the KOAs where you can stop last minute. 😣🥺

    “Camper burritos” is what bears smell when you camp in a tents.
    The is a reason those trailers are called “campers.”
    When my folks retired they planned to tour all over New England and south east Canada with a towed trailer. On their second stop they encountered a “friendly” couple from Georgia that enjoyed my parents air conditioned trailer into the wee hours every night. Some how they would mysteriously appeared at their next 3 stops. My parents were wise not share phone numbers their home address or even their last name with them. One night in camp in a Vermont location my father spread a US map on the table with his travel log. He plotted out and drew a route to Lake Powell because, “The wife wants to see it.” His first planned stop was a 1000 miles down the road. As my father broke camp before sunrise a day earlier than he stated the other couple rushed around to pack up as my parents drove away. My parents drove home to Connecticut. Rumors has it, now years later, that couple are still searching the desert southwest for my “friendly” parents AC.
