I just want to say, it's been so nice to get

out of the city with you.

Camping, nature, I feel like you're who you really are.

Away from work.

What are you thinking?

Hey guys, I'm Brent Rose, writer and glamp counselor,

and today we're going through

some of my favorite camping gear.

Now this is not your ultra-light backpacking setup.

This is for when you've got plenty of space in your car,

weight is not a concern, and you and your friends

want your camp to be as baller as possible.

Let's get to the fun stuff.

This is they ShiftPod.

It's a reflective dustproof pop-up dome tent

and it's great for everything from Burning Man

to the High Sierra.

It's also super easy to set up.

Now I've only done this once before, but time me.

(techno music)

(bell dings)

Come on in.

In the center you have seven feet of headroom.

There are six mesh windows with zippable covers.

There are ports for ventilation and power cords,

and if you really want to take things to the next level,

you can add some of Shiftpod's color changing

remote controlled lights, baller.

You can sleep a whole family in here.

Or start a whole family in here.

(seductive music)

This is the Exped Megamat Duo 10.

It's the most ridiculously absurdly comfortable

camping pad you can possibly get.

You'd be happy to sleep on it at home.

It has four inches of cushy foam padding

plus the air you put into it with

the schnozzel pump bag, which, great name.

(air blowing)

Unless you're the princess and the pea

you could be sleeping on a boulder

and you wouldn't even notice.

(sighs)

But if you've got a mattress built for two,

you want a sleeping bag to match.

Enter the queen sized Sierra Designs Frontcountry Bed 2

This gigantic sleeping bag is big enough for two people

to sleep in any position they want.

It's also zipperless and it'll keep you warm

down to 27 degrees fahrenheit.

It can attach directly to your mattress

and it even has an escape hatch for your feet

should they get a little too toasty.

So let's talk about power.

This is the GoalZero Yeti400 solar generator kit.

It includes a 33 amp power battery,

and a built in inverter.

That means it can run AC and DC

and it even has USB plugs built in.

It's attached to two foldable 20 watt panels

which is keeping it nice and juicy,

and that's important for powering this little beauty.

This is a DIY evaporative swamp cooler.

It was about a hundred bucks from a guy on Etsy.

It's basically just a cooler with a couple

holes drilled out and a fan built in.

You just fill it with water and/or ice

and the fan circulates it.

So when it's hot and dry it keeps

this place nice and cool.

Another cool way to get power,

this is the Biolight Campstove 2.

Basically it burns twigs and small pieces of wood

and uses the heat exchange to power this external battery.

That in turn can be used to power

your phones and small cameras.

You can simply pop a pot on top and boil some water

or you can use this slick grill

and do some back country barbecue.

It even has a USB light so you can see what you're cooking.

But how about when you want to keep things cool.

This is the Orca Cooler 26.

It's made of super durable roto-molded plastic.

If you add a couple padlocks, it's actually bear proof.

It has an excellent drain, really nice handles,

and best of all it'll keep your ice icy

in warm weather for up to eight days.

Now that it's getting cold,

it's time for my favorite jacket.

This is the Eddie Bauer First Ascent Evertherm.

It's the first ever outdoor jacket to use

the thin down technology.

You know how most down jacket have baffles

to keep the feathers in place which leave you

looking kind of like a skinny Michelin man?

Well, Thindown is the first one that eliminates

the need for baffles.

Basically the down is actually adhered to

the layers of fabric, which keeps it from shifting around.

Not only does that make this jacket 30% lighter

but because it doesn't have baffles,

it eliminates cold spots, making it 10% warmer too.

This thing is so comfy.

Last, and certainly not least,

is the Garmin Inreach Explorer+.

When you're way off the grid, this thing is your

tether to the outside world and potentially your lifeline.

It has built-in topographic maps with GPS,

weather, and it allows you to share your locations

with friends and family so they can see where you are

on your adventure.

It'll even allow you to send and receive text messages

through the device itself or through a paired smartphones.

And most importantly, if you hit this SOS button,

it'll send in Search and Rescue no matter where you are.

So those are just a few of my favorite high end

car camping items.

But what are yours?

With all that being said,

there's really only one thing left to do.

(romantic music)

Oh Betty.

Oh, Betty.

(laughing)

Your breath's a little bit harsh.
