1: Jumper cables I know that sounds like just a normal thing but idk how many times I've had to help jump someone off after a really cold night (I live in the mountains) and their battery was dead as a door nail.
FOOD! Special food! I always look forward to a special meal to eat when camping! Doesn’t have to be something that’s hard to prepare, just has to be delicious!
Decent footwear, guys. Prob not such an issue where you guys are camping in an arid climate, but here in England, if your feet get wet or your shoes rub, it makes wild camping a misery. Nice little video 👍🏻
Best wishes from good old germany, dear sirs. I hope, you're doing well. Sorry, i'm a bit late - and all the other comments tell the truth already. Love is important. friends of course and one or two good beers as well. But also a kind of portable light to find the right tree in the night outside...😊. Anyway: You guys are FANTASTIC. Thanx for the Inspiration and the good spirit. Yours Dirk from Cologne/Germany
Love the s**t demonstration! Number 1 item to take on camping, is a "to do", especially if travelling solo, tell someone were you are going and when you expect to get back, otherwise it could be that film "127 Hours" all over again! Great video & camera work as usual, well done!

Good thing i read through the comments before I posted cause al lof my #1's were already listed. lol, table, good food, matches, toilet paper, flashlight, etc. So I'll say one or two good Coleman lanterns. Thanks for posting, fun one.
#1 -good weather, which is a difficult to find in the NE Scotland!! Nothing worse than being too cold or damp right before bedtime and always bring spare clothing for when it's dreich (don't forget a towel for the pooch too!).
Good video. I love camping with my friends here in Alabama. I'd say you could fit a good heater. I have a coleman propane flameless tent heater that's safe for indoor use. Heats up my poptop bus really good.
Followers have added some really smart ideas. If I may suggest, you gather and post them. I’d under score power- to charge a phone and provide light. Again ,it takes a village
Enjoyed the "entrenching tool" instructions. Stay down wind of your friends. Good stove is a Blackstone...always cook outside. Burned interiors are not cool. Good stuff guys. Looking forward to your footage of the trip. how bout trailers. Do any of you tow one. I have a small MC trailer that hauls quite a bit and is light to pull. Lots better that tv!!
I use to pull a popup camper behind my motorcycle, so it was pretty similar to VW Bus camping. I would love to see the list of things you do bring! I know it changes with the seasons. Fun to compare list and see who can come up with the best gadgets! Love you guys!

The #1 you need if you go camping in your bus is a nice crew of people with the same passion.
i like it!
#1: A VW BUS!!!!
indeed!
Don't forget your dog. It's the best camping companion, & will keep you warm & safe😍
Very true!
Gary, you sir will NEVER go out of style.
right!?
I use 1gal water bottles to freeze into ice. Keeps longer and nothing gets wet. Also, ice cold drinking water later!
yep we freeze whole bottles too!
#1 thing you need is a good attitude and being grateful for each day we wake up 🤘 oh and some TP! Lol
so true Jamie!
1: Jumper cables

Layers to take off/on to keep warm, maybe a slaaping mat you can lay underneath your sleeping bag to keep the cold away even more
Thanks for the tips!
#1 -good weather, which is a difficult to find in the NE Scotland!! Nothing worse than being too cold or damp right before bedtime and always bring spare clothing for when it's dreich (don't forget a towel for the pooch too!).
ah good one!
Pro tip use a block of ice in your cooler or freeze a gallon jug of water. It will last way longer than crushed ice!!
yep good one!
Good video. I love camping with my friends here in Alabama. I'd say you could fit a good heater. I have a coleman propane flameless tent heater that's safe for indoor use. Heats up my poptop bus really good.
Sounds great! yeah we all have buddy heaters!
#1: You need a bunch of good people to hang out with! BTW, we all know Gary as a fan of Coleman-products ;)

Enjoyed the "entrenching tool" instructions. Stay down wind of your friends. Good stove is a Blackstone...always cook outside. Burned interiors are not cool. Good stuff guys. Looking forward to your footage of the trip. how bout trailers. Do any of you tow one. I have a small MC trailer that hauls quite a bit and is light to pull. Lots better that tv!!
almost forgot...food would be a good idea..
yes 3 of the guys have trailers, didn't bring them on this trip because the roads are sketch.
Looks like an awesome adventure! And some great tips!
Thanks for watching!
I use to pull a popup camper behind my motorcycle, so it was pretty similar to VW Bus camping. I would love to see the list of things you do bring! I know it changes with the seasons. Fun to compare list and see who can come up with the best gadgets! Love you guys!
a couple of guys have trailers, they took them to new mexico, but not this trip.
@@VWLifeVW My trailer was a pop-up like these. I should have kept and pulled it with the bug. ruclips.net/video/77zcxLuVEjM/видео.html
Most important thing is bottle opener !
Hi guys! where is your charcoal and grill?? you can´t do any camping without a good BBQ ... that´s one of the first things I load in.. thanks for sharing your vw life!
we stick to butane, propane & camp fuel because it's hard to dump old ashes sometimes.
Gotta Take The Word that Makes US Free!
