I lived in Normal, IL for about a year and a half and Starved Rock was my favorite place to visit. Back home in the southwest, now. Could not handle the cold in Central Illinois.
Right, I’ve always just wanted to live a simple and happy life, that’s a whole life goal, easy to say but hard to achieve it, I’m glad I have some pieces of it I’m proud of
First time I saw the self cooking food combination that you add cold water and cooks the meal, certainly it has to do with the pouch that was uncovered and water was added at the bottom. Very interesting?
yes, there is a nice one about 3 miles from channahon state park. you cant drive there but you can hike there or ride a bike with your gear there. me and friends from hammock forums go there all the time.
You might not be able to now or later on, because it said only for guests, and also I went there before it warmed up, so it was still cold season, not a lot people going. I like car camping winter season because most of places are closed, so east to get around with it. You could try, but be careful of getting tickets or towed away.
I don’t think it’s allowed. The parking lot says for hotel guest only, but because it’s off season, and it’s freezing winter, so no one checks. I’m just taking risk of getting a ticket or towed away 😉😜
99 ranch market( a Chinese super market chain) There isn’t any in Chicago. I found those at H-mart when I moved to Chicago the first couple weeks, then couldn’t find it anywhere anymore. But you can get them on Amazon, it’s pricy though. I’m moving back to California end of May, there are tons of them in LA. Will try all of them in my future videos in CA
@@jiaojiaotian i figured. There's an H market in Atlanta. Are still living out your Prius or hve you found a place to to rent bac in cali. I like your video i am an introvert as well. And doing the car life deal
@@MJ85D I upgraded to RAV4 from Prius. Still living in car. Survived and thrived in Chicago winter. You should go check, they might have it. Some big Asian market will have them.
I LOVE this film of your adventure. I'm a prius dweller native to the south suburbs. I think you just inspired me to take a trip back to starved rock soon!

Just moved to Chicago from Los Angeles last thanksgiving, enjoying the winter camping here, don’t need to drive too far to see snow like in LA😜
Fabulous cooking!
Thanks
I did not know you can park there overnight - great videos - I live in Chicago its interesting how you park next to a camp site and cool places
Thanks
That's cool! What is this hot pot? Where do you get it?
Self cooking hot pot, at some Asian store

And very convenient for camping, no cooking and washing dishes.
👍🏻
👍👍
I really enjoy your videos. I was wondering have you been to Turkey Run or Shades State Park in Indiana yet? Those are my 2 favorites in the state.
It’s in my calendar, going soon.
@@jiaojiaotian at Turkey Run, don't miss trail 3. It's absolutely incredible, and might also be difficult due to the water levels.
nice area , we go hammock camping along the I&M trail near McKinley woods all the time,
Are there campgrounds there?
yes, there is a nice one about 3 miles from channahon state park. you cant drive there but you can hike there or ride a bike with your gear there. me and friends from hammock forums go there all the time.
@@markglist good to know, thank you
Beautiful video.
I just got into suv camping and will be visiting Starved Rock. Can you please tell me where you parked over night? Thank you.
Thank you
Love the video. About the package food? What is the brand name and where do you get it?
Asian market
I’m planning a car camp trip to starved rock soon. Where did you park? Just in the regular parking lot? Was their a fee?

i didn't know you can park your car at Staved Rocks overnight. Where did you park your car? Thanks.
Love your videos.

Love your videos. I have to ask, so you sleep in your car in state parks? Is that allowed?
Thanks, if any state parks allow camping, this is camping
@@jiaojiaotian so you reserve a campsite?
It's illegal to park overnight at the lodge unless you're renting a room or cabin
Beautiful. What software/app did you use to edit your footage?
Just iMovie
The hotpot soups where can i find thm. ?

今天偶然发现你的视频，看了好多，非常喜欢你的视频风格。我也经常床车旅行，我住在密苏里州，可以认识一下吗
谢谢。
That's a TON of packaging and WASTE for one meal. What a shame!
I agree, try to avoid, not easy .

I car camped in my Prius 2017-2020, just got RAV4 last thanksgiving.
@@jiaojiaotian that's so awesome! I just got my prius v but will eventually upgrade to the hybrid rav4.
Hey my fiance and I were looking to car camp as well. What fees did you pay at the campsite? Basically... How do you car camp hahaha
@@datingapanda2235 you go online to make reservations ahead of time or just pay at the campsite host
