- 🌲 After camping with kids for the past 13 years, I've learned a few things along the way. In this video, I share as many of those tips and ideas with you to help you to, hopefully, help you have an enjoyable family trip while camping.

✦ Links to Google Docs for Packing Lists (These are pretty specific to my family, but after clicking on the link, you should be able to download the doc to your computer and then edit it yourself so you can tailor it to your own needs. These are also my Master lists so we don't always bring everything listed on them; I use them more as a reminder of items to bring so I don't forget year-to-year what we have brought in the past. I hope they help you!):

That breath you took, I took it with you. I'm learning how to camp with just me and my son because my husband died. Of course that's sad but we're still here and our son still needs to have a childhood. Practical things like weight limits, what I can physically manage because he's 6 and small so there's a limit to what he can do to help, I have to work around and binging family camping videos helps a lot.
Edited to add: See, I was debating jeans and now I have that confirmation.
I'm so sorry for your and your son's loss. You are an incredible mom wanting to give your baby a full childhood. I'm not sure how I would manage if I was in your shoes. Just wanted you to know, you're doing great! I'm glad my videos have been helpful for you. Let me know if you have any questions!
I absolutely love camping with my son. I use a pop up bathroom tent for showering and night time potty. One thing we love to do while camping is flying a kite if it’s a windy day.
We just got pop-up tents for the bathroom this last year and that was great (except for when something or the elements made it go on its side while we were away and there was a bit of a mess to clean up afterwards 😩). Flying a kite is a great idea!
@@SaraWeston oh no! Thankfully, that hasn't happened to me
Love love love! ❤ we are planning for this upcoming summer. First time camping for all of us, so we are going to buy supplies throughout the months leading up and your videos have been sooooo helpful! Thank you for being you beautiful 🤗
Thank you! Glad the videos are helpful. Good luck with all your planning for next year 😁
Awesome information. Do you do primitive? How do you keep food cold? How long do you stay?
No, we don't do primitive camping. I did one as a teenager, and my husband has a couple of times as an adult (once recently with a few of our kids). But we've never done it all together as a family. Maybe when all the kids are a bit older. We keep the food cold in ice chests using a combo of ice blocks and cubed ice and freezing as much of the food ahead of time as possible. I have a video on Camping Food Prep in which I talk/show more about this, if you're interested. We typically stay for 7-9 days. it just depends on our schedule, but the minimum is at least a week if we can.
So much information 😬☺️
I hope it was helpful!
Do your kids enjoy singing songs around the campfire? I enjoy doing that
No, but that's something I grew up doing. They prefer doing riddles or creating stories. One person will say a sentence to the story and then the next person needs to add a sentence to continue the story and it keeps going around the campfire (and it gets pretty silly). (I can't remember if I mentioned this in the video or not already so sorry if it was redundant).
Story add-on, I’ve heard of that
@chrispleasantable It's definitely one of their favorite activities. The last two years, though, we've actually been listening to audiobooks as well. Last year, they listened to The Hobbit and this year to one of The Lord of the Rings books.
I really think that they’ll enjoy singing songs around the campfire
