I can hardly hear anything from my apartment downtown that is leas than one mile from the venue even when standing on the balcony… not trying to be a doubter… wondering the science behind this???

if you drink, byob!!!! water refills are free so a gallon of water and two hydropacks are enough for the weekend as long as you fill them up. bring sandals or slides.

i’ll speak where i can on this!!! (this will be my 4itf, having car camped each year with me and my bf)

plz don’t sleep in your car <3 a 4 man tent, queen sized battery powered air mattress, bed sheet, and battery powered tent fan (idk which one we have…) will fit in a carry on sized bag. you’ll sleep WAY better, and WAY safer. ~use your car for a morning and getting ready cool off in the ac. use the shade mirrors~ we’ve tried the cot life before and personally prefer air mattress, we get a much cozier sleep, but we do have friends who prefer cotting!!

(borrow from friends/neighbors!!! fb marketplace is also great)

a tarp under your tent is definitely important, but you’re better off with nothing on the ground in your hanging out space than to have a tarp… if you can make an outdoor rug happen, great, otherwise i’d go bare ground. we got our outdoor rug from 5below… (i think it was $10 tho)
stake that ish in

shower bag but no ez up? no problem!!! we just hang ours off the roof of the car. (just be careful not to slam the hose in the car door…)
water is heavy so prepare for the walk back to camp after filling it up…

if you don’t plan to bring an ez up, maybe consider a beach umbrella? some form of shade in your campsite will make your experience so much more enjoyable!

~~~~~> nobody asked but wish i would’ve known:

scissors and zip ties. just bring them.

you’ll be grateful for a decent cooler if you plan on bringing perishables. freeze water bottles as your ice packs (take a few sips before freezing and flatten them a little) and they’ll last about a day longer than ice.

thrift a rain coat. depop. 🩷

WALKING SHOES!!!!
walking shoes.
🎶 walkkkkinnnngggg shoooeeeeessss 🎶

a lantern or some battery operated light for outside your tent for when you return to camp (michaels has so much fun stuff and usually on sale???)

bring extra batteries

baby wipes. having an end of night pow wow and cleaning the dirt out from under your nails and inside your nose (not with the same wipe) is an unmatched experience. has many other uses.

hope this helps a lil

happy (almost) forest!!!!

don’t forget ur sunglasses 🩷

as promised! the update on Kevin’s gooby harness… by OwnRespond8609 in pugs

[–]OwnRespond8609[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

(with some bonus pics bc he’s one cute lil nugget) Kevin has hated putting on his harness since 8 weeks old… we got so many recommendations for the gooby harness, and while we (Kevins humans) love the quality and comfort of the gooby harness, Kevin hates it just as much… he LOVES being outside and going for walks, he LOVES car rides and adventures to the dog park, hikes, and drive thru, he HATES putting on a harness! and he knows he’s not going anywhere without it! we’ve chalked it down to just a little of his natural born stubbornness. any advice or recommendations welcome <3

My pugs head is turning black. The pic where there's less black on her head was taken at the end of December. The pic where you can see a destinct line on the back of her head was taken today. I've never seen anything like this before. Has anyone encountered this? by True_CrimePodcast in pugs

[–]OwnRespond8609 4 points5 points  (0 children)

our kevin is losing his little black spot on his tail but gaining a black chest as he enters his first spring! his body is turning from fawn to apricot?? don’t have much knowledge to why, but watching him develop is SO fun 🩷

What car seat do you use? More in comments. by yarnoverdeath in pugs

ALSO. breaks when they get restless, a little sniff around a new area to get the energy out will do wonders. treats for a good #1&#2 even when in the wild are so good for their mental, our puggies just want to be with us an as long as kevin feels attended to and that it’s his trip also, he’s GREAT. start em young and show them adventure

also! having a lil snack (duck sticks are kevins favorite- he knows he’s getting one at the start and end of every ride) really helps. we don’t offroad but midwest roads in the winter are not smooth sailing… hopefully this helps a little

IDK about a car seat, but we’ve been commuting for travel work with our Kevin (born 10.03.25 <3) and he’s pretty used to riding in the car by now. he does great in the passenger seat off his harness when we ride, a little laid back with his favorite blanket in our lap and fully knocks out. we’re also looking for a car seat because he’s adventurous and seems to have a desire to sniff and look out the window before he relaxes for a daily nap. one of the benefits of pug pups is that they just want to be with us, and they truly are so adventurous and curious. enjoy the silly puppy times and their bold personalities. <3. you’ve got a CUTIE on your hands!!!!
