I love this lady. She’s like a super fun friend explaining things in an easy to understand way and it doesn’t feel rehearsed or scripted at all (which I’m sure it is but she’s just so natural!). Makes me want to watch all the commercials with her in it.

“Those chips are for CAMPING!! - be prepared to guard those with your life” 😂😂😂 love this lady and saved the video for reference later.

This lady is a hoot:) I’d camp with her for sure!! She seems like she’s make a good friend ❤

I used to scoff at car camping as an avid backpacker then I treat it as a “luxury” camping and honestly enjoy it a lot more with all the amenities

Oh my god Mckenzie, please make a million more videos, you are so much fun! 😊

I like how L.L. Bean used the Subaru Outback for this video. L.L. Bean was Subaru’s brand of choice in the 2000’s when making their higher-end “L.L. Bean edition” models.

I love packing up the car, because I’m good at organizing and good spatial awareness 😃 I love it if I’m not the first one getting picked up and the driver says, “I don’t know how we’re going to fit all of this in...” and I start rearranging things and then they say, “Oh my gosh. I can’t believe you did it and how easy you made it look.”

I love her! I love the fact l.l.bean serves not only petite size unlike other brands, I can easily find my size as well, especially on the hot looking items. That is why I love l.l. Bean so much. That reminds me, I have to go now and pick me up some items.

I just got back yesterday from a 10 day, 1, 000 mi.+ journey around Alaska that included Chickenstock (good time!). I had all this stuff covered but I overpacked some things, but forgot others.
Thing's I wish I had taken; *tweezers, *mosquito coils ( also check your *bug spray to make sure it sprays!), a *stiff shoe brush to get dried mud off shoes, a *small hand broom and dust pan for cleaning out the tent (my 10 mo. old lab drags everything in with him.) A small spray bottle of *rubbing alcohol for getting tree sap out of hair and off of gear.) More *Para-cord. I had 2- 20 ft. bundles. I could have used 3 should have had 4. Lol, *Pruning shears, *all containers must be 100% water tight (Sorry Blue dog, for falsely and unfoundedly accusing you of such a heinous crime. You are way to good of boy for such a clumsy human as me. I will endeavor to up my game, friend.) Last but, absolutely most important, keep your TP close, in a zipped zip lock bag and take it into every restroom you hit. Because if you don't, I can almost gaurentee the one time you forget it and don't check first because of need, there will be none. (SMH why me??!!) (FYI that was at Denali Park. The place where they over charge for everything and sting on the amenities. JMO.)

She is terrific! Oh my goodness! And she sure makes you feel welcome and yea, you can do this too! But I want to go as her apprentice…😄😄😄 thank you for these…

[fuufuuu]

I had to watch this cause I’m super uptight about how the rig gets packed. I never let anyone pack the car. 😂

[wills]

These are great basics! Love my LL Bean gear. Cheers and get out there!

[micheleobrien]

That's how I pack and prep. Great minds think alike!❤❤❤❤

Finally a legit car camping video guide and not a video of someone sleeping in their car. Thanks hope to see more

[emdee]

I once told a boyfriend that I didn't love anyone enough to go camping. I stand by that statement.

[nyb]

Apart from the content this woman is enjoyable

[ronaldrose]

Where is the spare tire and easy access tools? You did a superb job in loading your vehicle. 😊

Love her! This was very helpful. My wife asked me to pack the car while she was at work. Thank goodness for you tube. I just needed to get my head organized about it. Panic over.
