I've been camping for decades and I still stock up on dollar tree stuff. No need for expensive stuff when it's only gonna be used a few times a year anyway.
I am an avid camper and blog about hacks, tips, and tricks to make camping easier and the eggs in the bottle has been my most popular hack. Also, using disposable items may be easier because you won't have dishes to wash but I wish people would think more about the impact those items have on our environment. Be earth friendly, stop using disposables. Also, the egg in the bottle trick, some people use water bottles but I like what you got. I use an empty coffee mate bottle and a funnel, that way you can break the eggs directly into the bottle and not have to dirty an extra bowl.
If I was a jerk' I’d say... if “I DGAF” was a person that said “IDC, it’s disposable”.... I’d say that, but I’m not. I’d say, please try to use reusable items and try to just think about it more ahead of time and use less...we are passing this earth on to our children. It might be a tiny bit more mental preparation for us but our kids will see that. Especially if we stress the fact that it takes an insane amount of unnatural and damaging resources to get that all on Dollar Tree store shelves. Most think think that magic gets everything in stores.not true. We can raise our families to respect the grounds/land that we live on.
I haven't been camping in years, but I really enjoyed watching your video! You had some great ideas... We had a pop up camper years ago and went with our children when the were little.. Lots of fun memories.. Enjoy your trip...
For a pot, I got a oil drain pan at Walmart for about $10.00. It has a pour spout already. I took an 8 and a half inch paper plate and marked a circle on the oil drain pan and took a zig saw and cut out the circle. I took a file and knocked off the burrs. Lined the hole with a plastic bag or even double bag it. Throw bag in trash after use. I store baby wipes, bags and TP in the hole that I cut out. It worked great.
If you ever have to clean anything with pee on it, mix about a tablespoon of baking soda into a cup of hydrogen peroxide and pour mixture on spot to be cleaned. Leave it to soak for a little bit and wash/clean with a rag and clean water. The stain lifts out and the smell goes away. If its something like clothing or bedsheets, you can just wash like normal in the washing machine. I found this out last year to clean a stained mattress and it worked. It also works well with cat pee (my cats are jerks sometimes).
Ha ha this was surprisingly fun to watch! I’ve also watched a lot of the other vids like this but yours was so casual/real and funny without trying to be. And your voice didn’t drive me nuts like so many others do. 🤣 The first-aid stuff is a good idea! For under $10 you got everything you need and it’ll last for a couple of years easily. We’re doing our first minivan camping this summer after a few years overseas-can’t wait to try some of these out! I’d love to know if you did the hula hoop shower thing and if the wind cooperated 😬
yes its always a great idea to get a can opener not all cans have a the pull tab i was on a camping trip a few years ago and we had a few cans of beans turns out we didn't have a can opener, so i had to my can opener on my Multi-tool
Emergency toilet: Walmart sells a lugaloo toilet lid! Clips to a 5 gallon bucket and you can buy the waste bags or get the gel packs and use garbage bags 👍🏻👌🏻
I love Dollar Tree but I don't think I could ever spend $75 there before or after a discount, even if I was consciously trying to. Are you now considered a VIP member? Did you get a customer of the year award or anything? 🤔🤣
We are learning every day and always open to hearing about how to protect our environment. We always stop and chat with park rangers as part of my daughter’s homeschool experience!
@@TheSweatyTravelingMom that’s amazing! Learning and growing is part of nature, having an audience puts you in a very difficult position.

All the campgrounds in New England have rules against burning trash and emptying Soapy water onto the ground. In NH You are not supposed to even empty clear water onto the ground. The law is to prevent contamination. Outdoor showers are not allowed. I am not saying people follow all the rules, but you could get in trouble for doing some of the things you planned.
That's glamping not camping. Go completely primative without electricity or water. Now that's camping out in the middle of nowhere. Bring your own water and use solar power to charge flashlighs, led bug lights stuff like that.
See you in your next video ,great dollar tree tips too
Thumbs up because you mentioned Keto... I think I'm okay for cheat days when going camping.

Think about taking water shoes for beach use. Thin and light to wear they keep your feet protected from sharp rocks etc.
You should always have TP with you no matter where you go. You can never be sure the facility will have the necessary

They biodegrade.

Joann Oster thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
I'm cool with everything except the whole throw paper plates in the fire... Camping edicate says never burn anything but wood.... Just my 2 cents.
Oh that 2 little drawer thing would be great for matches!! Good idea!

A new pump up weed and bug sprayer painted black works great for a shower. Velcro to secure a door on the shower curtain works great too
I did the egg thing this weekend. It was amazing!! So glad I did that.
Jessica kent awesome!! So glad that worked for you!

Luna1693 thanks for the tip!! I hope we are well past that now!!

Empty soft drink bottles are great for stuff like rice, sugar etc. Good that will poor easily from a bottle.

michelle sicble we got one!! Then upgraded to a camper with a full bathroom hah!!
@@TheSweatyTravelingMom we got one when our pipes froze this winter :) and will use it for camping
How did your camping trips end up going? Looks like you got a lot of good stuff. The egg bottle was a great idea!
Kristine Plummer thank you!! We had a lot of fun!

I have not been presented with any awards or certifications as of yet, but will surely update here if I do!!
Please keep in mind that throwing the disposables in the fire is damaging to the surroundings

Good idea for the eggs. The jugs are great. I like the plastic bowls, I have 8 of them. Have a great trip. Sounds fun.

Thanks for your insight Leigh! We are always sure to respect campground rules!
Their Hydrocortisone cream is better than some regular brands, in my experience.
Agreed
That's glamping not camping.
Go completely primative without electricity or water.
Now that's camping out in the middle of nowhere.

Cindee Libby I’ve found there’s more than one right way to things in most cases! If it works for you to call it glamping, go for it!
Look up the definition of camping Cindee.
fans
Pee pads 😂😂😂 thats gotta smell lovely. 🤢
Cindee Libby 🤣🤣🤣 better than a pee stained mattress! Have you been through the potty training phase with kids yet?
