How to Choose a GREAT Campsite *AVOID THESE MISTAKES*

All good comments, I myself have to add one look at the people in the campsites close to you… I had a camp experience ruined, because a bunch of drunks had too much to drink, and start picking fights with everybody in the Area. Likewise, they tend to be noisy. It saddens me being a very peaceful person that I now have to pack a firearm not for the four-legged variety of animal, but in defense of the two legged ones. Police response time is very slow added to that if your cell phone doesn’t get a signal then you’re on your own. It should be noted you have to be smarter. than your firearm. Don’t look for trouble because you have a SideArm with you. It’s your last resort against life and limb only! My rule of thumb is I try to get away from everybody who might be camping it gives them privacy and you also. Check the laws for carrying firearms and keep it hidden.

Question here, where did you buy your pants? They look comfy!

Just like the fire service do your 360!

cries the uintas . But really what do you do when you are recreating in the uintas?

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Hi Amanda 💟

Hi, another thing to be aware of are ant nests.
It was a super great video, excellent! ( :

I love how you always point out at safety 💖

Excellent advice. First time I pitched my tent I learned the hard way. Nice clear night. Then in the middle of the night it poured! The winds drove the rain crazy as I was at the bottom of a hill! My entry was facing the wind so as soon as I started to unzip it, water inside! Your video is spot on!

Hey Amanda! Ive watched almost all of your vids.. literally. I would love to see more cooking vids, i love to cook and i love camping. I find it relaxing to cook in a campsite... and honestly just as soothing to watch you cook in yours. If you are ever on vancouver island let me know 😁 (canada-BEAUTIFUL)

Informative AND interesting!! Well composed 😊🏕️ Thanks Amanda!

Hi Amanda! Great tips. Thanks for sharing😊

The sun and shade comment is so true! There’s nothing worse than cooking breakfast over the fire and having the sun beating down on your back! Thanks so much for mentioning that…

Thank you for a great video, very helpful. Also suggest taking into consideration wind direction.

Enjoying your videos and am thinking about cast iron. Con you do a video on how you take care of your cast while camping ? Curing etc.

Excellent video! My hubby has taught me all these tips over the years and we have a system down now that helps up assess a campsite pretty quickly. Thanks again for your effort in producing these videos!

All excellent points! It is critical, especially in the backcountry, to be conscientious about where you're setting up.

Great info!

Novice camper here, and thank you so much for a fantastic video. Exactly what I needed to educate myself to stay safe and comfortable :)

Anybody else notice the stick figure?😂

Always on point

Thanks!

Thank you so much it's very useful information 😊
We going camping in few more days for three weeks.

thank you so much for the tips. these are great for everyone

great video,but, shouldn't #1 be Get there early enough to look around, find water, toilet site, etc. decide, build camp BEFORE it gets dark.... I hope you have an awesome summer, I'm out of the game for a bit due to all this flooding/high water and I broke a rib the other night... if the rivers ever go down, I'll get out and do some fishing....

Great hints!

We always expect a day or night of rain so a properly planned location for your tent and pop up kitchen tent is key. We've had to dig drainage for tent islands during a flash rain storm before.

Great tips and what a beautiful campsite! I'd love to take a hammock out there.

Very helpful video. I'm going camping this weekend for the first time in 16 years! Also alone so I'll definitely be using your tips 🙌🏻

I learned a lot with this video. Thanks!

Great tips!

Also just noticed a new (at least to my grocery store) s’mores flavor power crunch bar! 10/10 👌🏼

There really really is so much to take into consideration. Good tips. You live in such a beautiful place.

I love your videos!
