Car Camping Gear Recommendations (3x Cross-Country and from NYC to Alaska)

I've been car camping solo in my Subaru Forester XT for almost 3 years now - I covered more than 40,000 miles while driving 3 times cross country and then - roadtripping from New York City all the way to Alaska (where I am right now). In this video I talk about car camping essentials / must-haves which I properly tested and would recommend anyone who wants to build their dream car camping setup and start enjoying road trips. I don't like clutter, so I tend to buy higher quality hiking and backpacking gear, which lasts much longer. my car camper tour & FULL gear guide:    • Subaru Forester Camper Tour and Gear Guide...   how I assemble my setup:    • How I prepare my Subaru for Car Camping in...   Products featured in this video (affiliate links): Lantern: https://amzn.to/3Tt1aFB Flask: https://amzn.to/44mnjvl Water bottle: https://amzn.to/3UvPulO Synthetic blanket: https://amzn.to/47w4g3y Compression sacks: https://amzn.to/3HoizwI Packing cubes: https://amzn.to/44IcYsJ Light backpack: https://amzn.to/45GILuF Merino wool bottoms: https://amzn.to/45CyXl6 Merino wool top: https://amzn.to/4mlSy0d Best hiking socks ever: https://amzn.to/4lxghJI Down wash: https://amzn.to/47yhxJ0 Isobutane-propane stove: hhttps://amzn.to/44mn839 Cooler: https://amzn.to/3IlMpBT Satellite device: https://amzn.to/45iXixw Power station (mine is 1000 Pro): https://amzn.to/4nGvtGm Jump starting cables: https://amzn.to/3GyB2pR Mattress (I have previous version): https://amzn.to/4nK122o Fitted sheet: https://amzn.to/4eDvqXP Other items I use (and recommend) but did not talk about them in this video: Immersion water heater: https://amzn.to/44wR7FT Best freeze-dried meals: https://amzn.to/3Ilr380 Termic hoodie: https://amzn.to/4lnJTd8 Sleeping bag liner: https://amzn.to/44SyjAK Storage containers: https://amzn.to/4lG6dOJ Water jug: https://amzn.to/408zF7Z Headlamp: https://amzn.to/4lmpKnO Trowel: https://amzn.to/3TQLnAF Wilderness wash: https://amzn.to/4lIuvrt Pan: https://amzn.to/40cusMq Best freeze-dried meals: https://amzn.to/3Ilr380 timestamps: 0:00 intro 1:48 light 2:48 water bottles 4:22 what keeps me warm 5:42 organization 7:32 clothing 11:03 cooking 15:07 source of power 17:54 sleeping system   / ashaslawuta   Thank you so much for watching!
