    Nice set up, but make sure food is locked up at night. Critters will seek it out, bears, squirrel, possum, skunk, and all love to raid camp sites. Had a possum raid mine once, not fun. Enjoy that area, beautiful and lot of history.

    Canopies are a must have! I was camping in Arkansas in my van and noticed a grandma with her grandkids get rained out. They had a small tent to huddle in, with their picnic table contents they had to quickly move indoors. I took my canopy and slid it over to their site so they could sit outdoors. I had my cozy dry van to escape to. That family loved on me the duration of their stay! Kept offering me food, coffee, etc. I always have a canopy for just in case! My best memories are the people I've met!

    Never leave food outside. All kinds of animals mice,deer raccoons , can open everything and you want to leave things wide open not a good idea do not invite rodents animals into your campsite .

    Great video, looks very comfy. Refrigerate your opened bottles of sauces and mustard - the labels and strict food rules in developed countries state that, due to bacteria which will make one very sick.

    @BrandonNicho 2 месяца назад +27

    I did notice you had some opened bottles like vinegar, butter, mustard, honey and agave syrup. Please keep in mind these items should be refrigerated once opened. You don't want to risk getting sick.

    • @SereneandSimpleLife
      @SereneandSimpleLife  2 месяца назад +6

    Hello Linda, Looks great. I think when they move the fire pit. I would have them place it near on the side of your canopy. I would move both chairs over there. Looks like two are camping there. Just a little safety tip. Also I would ask maintenance to weed eat all those tall weeds. Looks like they would attract more bugs. You might want to add a small electric weed eater to your items to bring along. We camp a lot. I also have a small blower to keep the camp cleaner. Have a wonderful summer there.

      I'm not sure who told you that, but I lived on the Betsie River near the Sleeping Bear Dunes (further down on the Western side of the state and I ASSURE you that not only are their bears- they are not necessarily concerned that there are people around. They would show up on the nearby golf course and were known to ravage garbage cans when they could. Raccoons will also help themselves and are even able to open your cooler.

    That is a very nice private camping spot Linda! See if they will cut the grass and weeds down a little more! It sounded like it was raining in your clam! Be careful, animals can smell through packages and everything. You might want to animal proof your food stash. My neighbors saw a bear in my yard going for my trash can once. I made sure and kept the ftont door closed while the bear was getting my food out of the trash! Be prepared to escape to your suv for protection! Praying for wisfom and safety! God Bless Linda! Sister, Judy🙏✝️💖
