    The most important thing to buy is a mesh ground mat. You put it down first thing when you pull up. A mat like CGear Matting is a bit dearer but allows sand and dirt to fall through and not kill the grass. I saw you put down the beautiful blanket and thought that is so Jess. Another must have for your travels is a Darche
    Stainless Steel BBQ 310 Firepit. It gives you your own fire pit and you can cook on it, then it folds up into a bag. Love your channel.
