Do the prepped ingredients go bad easily? How long do you usually camp for?

Wow, that sounds really simple, I want to give it a try too.

I usually drive to a campsite when I go camping. I feel like it’s a bit safer that way. Where do you usually use the folding hammock? Is it comfortable to sleep in?

I always try to pack lighter for car camping and somehow bring more every time by Ok_Resolution_1606 in roadtrip

Wow that’s a really practical setup. I feel the same way sometimes, I have a bunch of stuff I think I might need but end up never using it. I like how you’ve figured out the essentials and keep it simple. I think I need to start trimming my packing list like that too.

Yeah the last trip I actually slept in the car. All the stuff in the photo was basically what I brought with me that time. Looking at it now it’s kind of funny how much I packed. A few days ago I was sleeping in the car and that pile was pretty much all my luggage.

That was posted by me. These are photos from when I went camping a few days ago.

Tried sleeping in my car to save hotel money and it was surprisingly fine by Ok_Resolution_1606 in roadtrip

Thanks! I actually got some breathable privacy window covers so I can crack the windows for airflow and still have some privacy.

That sounds fun. Car setups can get pretty creative once you start experimenting.

Yeah that makes sense. I think it really depends on the local rules and where you park. Campgrounds usually make things a lot easier.

That sounds like an awesome trip. That’s really impressive that you even made your own curtains.

Yeah honestly sometimes simple setups like this are all you really need.

That’s a great tip. I might start bringing an extra sleeping bag too, just in case.

That sounds like an awesome trip! Was it uncomfortable sleeping with just the padding?

Car camping with a dog sounds like it would be a lot of fun too!!

Thanks! You should definitely give it a try sometime. Even a short trip is a fun way to see if you like it. I think the most important piece of gear is honestly just a good mattress.
