When you shower in a camper you wet yourself down then on the shower head there’s a button to turn off the water so you wet yourself, turn off, wash, turn back on and rinse so you don’t fill the tank as fast☀️

I really enjoyed your camping video and watching Levi live his best dirt boy life! This was great feedback about your trip and the items you used. Love watching you and Mom!

Tip for food.. take jars/bags of sauce eg curry, thai, chinese, Bolognese. Dehydrated soya meat. We take a lot of dehydrated chinese noodles and couscous (both just need hot water added) and quick rice that just needs heating up. So nothing needs cooked for ages. Tins of beans and veg. Tortilla wraps. I make jars of antipasti veg, so take those. Nuts, dried fruit and beef jerky, crackers are good snacks. Also i plan meals before we go, so i know i have enough.

I have a small clear lid bin with all out camping stuff ie plates, cups, cutlery, cooker, washing-up bag, clothes, soaps etc just ready to take/go in the attic next to our tents, camping chairs + table, collapsible flat-pack buckets and tub, etc

We all use soft very small hand-luggage square cases.. each person has one with 3 packing cubes.. 1 for trousers, shorts, 1 for tshirts, tops, swimming costumes, 1 for pants and socks. We use them for camping, 2 week flight holidays etc. Always wear things more often when on holiday.

Surely campsites in the US have shower/washroom facilities where you can wash your dishes? They do in the UK, Europe, etc..

That’s so great you all went and had a wonderful time !❤

I'm from the uk and as a child we used to go camping during the 1970s but we camped in a tent. My grandparents came with us. I loved it. Many happy memories x

We took our kids camping in Michigan when they were younger. Probably the one thing that I loved the most was sitting on the sand and watching the sunset over the lake. It was so gorgeous over the water. We stayed at a campground and slept in a tent. Memories!

[PatriciaCarrier]

Thank you for sharing your experience.
I really appreciate your father that was truly honest with himself and told you that he did not wanted to go camping anymore.
Wow! true honesty, wonderful. 🙌💟

We camped for the first time. Got all set up, with our 3-month-old baby. Once set up the ranger came thru and said there were hurricane warnings and to leave. 2nd camping trip we arrived on Saturday to rain. It rained Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday we went home, and the sun came out. We sold our camping equipment!

We bought an rv last year and when we are on a campsite we shower in the facilities every day - if I couldn’t shower I would go crazy immediately 😂 we even shower if we are in the wild. My little bathroom was my requirement for the rv. My own toilet, too 😅.
I would love to see more vacation trips of you. Very informing and fun

Shannon, you and your mother are the greatest duo. It's so fun to watch. I can see how much your camping experience enhanced your life. Your whole being brightened up when you talked about how much you loved the nature in the area and how much you want to go back or experience different places. My husband and I have been camping in various ways (backpacking, car camping, teardrop trailer, fiberglass trailer, and now truck camper) for many years and you get better with each trip and with each experience. You will be more streamlined and efficient and it will become second nature. Soon you will be shopping for your own camper or trailer! 😉The Eastern Sierra can take years to explore.

Try camping with two little kids in Volkswagen vans. We crossed the USA almost every summer from the west coast to visit family in North Carolina. We also camped at national and state parks on many weekends. When kids were older they set up their own little tents near van. It was an affordable way to see the country. And there are many good memories like the ones from your trip to remember.

[laurawood]

Shannon your passion shines thru, your kiddos will remember every trip . Go as often as you can those kiddos grow so so quickly . Even a quick trip if theres a campground close by, really it wont matter to them .

[kulickfamilyfarm]

This is amazing to see all the emotions you both show explaining all the memories that you made on your trip. I agree, those are memories your boys will treasure for MANY, many years. What a blessing! I hope if you make another camping trip that you share a glimpse of it with us. ❤

I so enjoyed your camping trip. I also have 3 kids and we had a truck with the camper that goes on the truck. I too had to have clean feet for everyone at the end of the day. We camped in the mountains and in San Diego at Campland. It is across the bay from Sea World. On the beach and they have all kinds of kid activities. My kids loved it. 2 pools, movies at night, fire works from sea world. It was like glancing. California has so many great camping places so you may want to get a trailer someday. My kids are grown and have kids but still we talk about how much fun the camping days were. Love to your mom

[sallyviehland]

You guys are so much fun! I’m a great grandma now and am so glad I have lots of memories of fun times with my grandchildren- I’m a bit slower now but still enjoy lots of fun times with family including energetic great grandchildren!!

[lennyburdick]

Great questions and answers. Good planning!

[highlandheffalump]

I’d be very happy if you do more of these lifestyle/holiday videos as well as the decluttering. Just love listening to you and your mum getting on so well.

That’s how June became the month for weddings because you were talking about people didn’t bathe. They took a bath after the cold weather passed so they were still pretty non-stinky in June.

[connieclark]

Loved both videos. I consider hotels “camping” now 😂 but tent camped in Michigan winters when I was younger (17 below was the coldest, which was so interesting). I loved your perspectives! But the prep and work afterwards is a lot!

[angelaarmstrong]

Did the tents, Trailer and now a cabin. Love the cabin. ❤
