1:24 the Great Depression had a big impact on the increase in car camping, because lots of families were moving around the country trying to find work and start fresh.
My grandparents went camping regularly like that back in the 30s. Our pictures show them in dressed in suits and ties and dresses. Probably normal everyday attire then.
Reminds me of a camping trailer that my Grandfather built in the 1930s during the depression. He worked for Bennett Fuel Company in Grand Rapids Michigan, hauling coal. In the summer they would lay him off. To save money on rent they would camp along the grand river north of Grand Rapids during the summer. They rented a space in a cow pasture for $5 for the whole season. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s we still had the trailer portion of that camp trailer. It had a 32 Ford axle and wheels on it.
Mr Smith, what a hoot! Back in the day that was the best you could get.Great way to camp with a canvas tent,i love the smell you get from the original material. Back in the late 60's my father, uncle and I camped way up in the north woods of Maine. I can still remember it.That gentlemen was awesome, with a great storyline. Thx Ken.
Awesome installment, Ken! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity and privilege of watching this! I first went camping with my maternal grandparents at roughly age 6. I actually remember the outing and I've been hooked on camping ever since! God's Blessings Sir and please keep 'em comin'!
Cool to see in the present day. I have a box of hundreds of film negatives from my mother’s family. It includes many pictures of them camping in the 1910s and 1920s using gear much like this.
The trailer is essentially the same design as the Sylvansport Go... very cool.... some things haven't changed too much in the course of a hundred years... that old Coleman stove is very cool....

Hi David and welcome to the channel. I think it certainly had a big impact.

That's awesome!
Absolutely amazing! Mr. Hershberger has assembled an epic time capsule. Literally a mobile museum.
It sure is! I would love to have some of this collection for my own Model A

Hey Myron! Thanks so much!
Sweet video ken, don’t know why this was recommended to me but I’m glad it was!
Hi and welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed it!
That was very good. Does he have a website? I have some 60+ camp gear and need to see about getting a Coleman lantern over hauled
I'm glad you enjoyed it. He did not mention anything to me about having a website.
EXCELENTE VIDEO, PARABÉNS.
Hi and welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed the video!
110%
Agreed!
That was fascinating
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
If I had the amenities that Ford, Firestone, and Edison did, why not!!!
You are spot on!
Today's car designs compared to the early Ford days, I'd choose then.
Me too and thanks for subscribing!
i've been camping in way worse
Me too but it still looks pretty cool!
@@kensmithgallery4432 yes it does!
Leaded gasoline taste, no other flavor like it…
or smell like it!
