Stainless bowls are a 10/10. Storage bins and storage bags are a close second. The cloths/dustpan/cutting board I'd skip on for Ikea and just grab at the dollar store.

Honestly, bringing rags and cloths are something I tend to forget a lot, but buying a stash to keep in my camping gear is a great idea! Also, as a Canadian, the moose pasta is just adorable! haha Love your videos :)

That’s genius

As a vanlifer I've become a big fan of soft containers - bags, sacks, duffles, etc. With rigid containers you usually have wasted precious space containing nothing but air. Soft containers collapse down with no wasted space and can conform to fit into oddly shaped spaces. So two thumbs up for the soft containers you featured.

Ikea's cutlery drain makes an awesome hobo stove/mini fire pit !

We were at our local Ikea in UK and spotted a larger sized one, obviously I got one and a trivet I might use for standing a pot on top rather than the tent pegs ideas. Can't wait to try it!

I love that camping is about being resourceful. An item doesn't need to be "for camping" to be an awesome find.

Tip for your stainless steel or other bowls: Use coffee filters in between them to prevent scratching in transit. The coffee filters can be used for many other purposes and in an emergency, They are a terrific initial filtration system to obtain potable water 😉

Thank you for making a point for not being sponsored on this video. I’m tired of KZread “advertisements” that are disguised as interest focused videos. I never camp without a small broom and dust pan for cleaning out my tent. Don’t forget the pet section (if there is one at IKEA). Reusable doggie piddle pads are great to use inside the tent to trap any residual dirt/water and are easy to wash.

Ikea's kids section used to have a play cook set complete with a pot, pan, wok, spatula, wisk, and spoon that could be nesseled together into a pretty compact set. They work well over a butane burner and are perfectly sized for single-person setting.

Great idea, except when I checked the ikea site, it says it’s not suitable for actual cooking. No idea why not, but it might be something to keep in mind.

Mate you missed the #1 best Ikea product (IMO) for camping, even though it's in the video at 7:30: the classic Ikea blue bag. They're PERFECT for bringing wood: large, durable, light, and with a double handle system whereby you thread the long handle through the opposite side short handle which pulls the mouth closed and stabilises it for carrying.

I would argue that if one can choose any item from Ikea - blue bag would be it. But not just any blue bag, the Ikea Frakta storage bag, which can be used on the Frakta trolley: it has handles to be a bag but you can also wear it as a backpack. And it's perfect size for your backpack to be packed in if you're flying without worrying that something will catch on conveyor belts at the airport.

I've had the bigger version of the waterproof bag for 3 years now, I use it to store my wet gear after swimming. It holds water in pretty well (starts leaking a bit after 2 days but I shouuuld take my stuff out after practice anyway) and doesn't have this wet feeling you often get with the lightweight ones. I haven't fully submerged it though, so I can't say how well it keeps water out, but it definitely works when kayaking or SUPing.

I keep my tarps and moving blanket in one and my blankets/sleeping bags in another. They make it so easy to organize. And side note the flat bag with orange liner is perfect fit for wreaths. I store my different season door wreaths in them. Thanks for the recipe!

I live for all things organization and camping so this video is perfect! Storage bins, packing cubes, and stackable bowls are a must!

I love the Parkla storage bags with the orange zipper. In my camper van I store blankets and sheets in one. Two full size pillows fit perfectly in another.

I stopped at Ikea before going on a 4 week trek on the Via Francigena in May. I used the Rensare dry bag and packing cubes and they were perfect. At a fraction of the cost of similar functioning items they were ultra light and kept my pack well organized. Also, I had to check my backpack on the flight over and was able to find a ultralight weight zipper bag that easily fit my backpack and trekking poles. When I got to my destination it was light enough that I could fold it and stick it in the bottom of my pack with very little increase in weight.

Thank you so much for your comment. I was wondering where I would find a bag big enough for exactly the same purpose.

The Ikea stainless steel kettle (with whistle) is awesome as a camp kettle - built heavier than anything you will get at a camping shop!

The larger silicone storage bag could even carry your first aid kit.

Great video and useful tips, thank you! The waterproof bag was a surprise!

There's also a stainless steel cooking set in the children's area. It's intended use is for play but its stainless construction and small size make it perfect for single serve cookware.

My husband and I are big campers and this video coming out fresh off a trip is getting us excited to visit Ikea! Thanks so much for sharing such great content🙃 I’ve been needing to replace our stainless steel bowls for awhile! Great find!

Just came across this video and was wondering whether IKEA UK stock these, your comment answered my question, looks like a trip to IKEA for me tomorrow 🤣🤣

The zip bags you showed the blankets in are a great idea. Actually IKEA is almost THE place for people who are building out a bus to live in. I watch that type of video all the time and constantly hear IKEA or ReStore mentioned. Thanks for the video. There were some really great items to think about.

Super enjoyable to watch! I think those clear bags would be a great way for me to utilize the space under the seats in my micro camper van 😊.

Great video! I love the shoe zippered bag! That alone will make an IKEA trip worth it! Also love the packing cubes and stainless steel bowls. Thanks for sharing the tips! Thanks for your content!

I use the insulated flasks for carrying my milk, eggs(pre scrambled but nothing added so I can use them for anything I need to use them for), and any juice or anything that I don’t want to put a paper carton or something that might spill or be damaged by packing it in ice in my cooler. Plus, they save space by being streamlined and they are easy to pack and use without getting dirty or letting in bugs or anything at camp. And I can wipe them down before replacing into the cooler. I use them for road trips and hotel stays as well. They’re good for more than just water!

@@cynvisionif you pack your ice in tight around them, they will go in and out of the little cubby it will make really easy and it’s like they have their own little space. I have had mine for about 6 years now and they are still like brand new after a lot of use and I don’t remember them costing much at all. I haven’t been to IKEA recently, they are an hour away in either direction, but I can’t imagine that IKEA has gotten expensive all the sudden. 😂 They are such a great place to get quality camping gear.

I had one of the huge plastic storage bags from ages ago in our basement and randomly grabbed it before our camping trip last summer. Worked great for our bedding and beach towels. I also love swedish dish towels for camping, the ones that are like a hard material until they get wet.

Dang it! That's just what I was going to suggest. A few years back, I saw a bunch of them with a Christmas theme. It was after Christmas, so I bought them at a great discount.

Thanks for taking us shopping at Ikea with you. It was fun!

All great ideas. A lot of these are great for traveling in general. Things can move around in your luggage or backpack,my favorite is the pack of organizer bags for clothes, electronics.Thanks!

I use the white and black bag for storing the duvet we use in the van but you need to be careful since I did split the seam with one duvet (too thick). Speaking of which - I also purchased the duvet and cover from IKEA. Great place for camping gear and lasts longer than buying items from a dollar store. I also use the packing cubes which are perfect sizes for weekend trips. There's also some poly bags with drawstrings that I use for dirty clothes. Great video and would love to see a few more like this.

Agreed, pesto with pasta is delicious! I love to add dried tomatoes and instead of chicken sausage - some ham fried on a pan and sliced. Quick and delicious meal! ♥

The shoe bag is such a good idea!

It was very enjoyable to watch. IKEA is a great place to get just about anything, and I never thought of checking there for camping items. My favorite item are the packing cubes. I haven't purchased any yet, and IKEA's prices would make it easier for me to get some to try them without investing too much. Thanks!

I love this so much I’m a baby camper and was already overwhelmed by organization. Thank you ❤

i bought all those tiny square towels a while ago when i first saw them. they are amazing, i use them at home as well. the packing cubes are really good, have been using them a lot for short trips. there is also a drawstring bag in the same fabric, i use that for my gym shoes in my backpack. i have the waterproof bag in both sizes and use them more like a handbag to carry a bunch of small items around. i did not know the white/orange one for shoes yet, that tells me i have to visit ikea again soon. love to go there for lunch!

These bags with orange zippers are phenomenal for laundry. You can stuff it into the washer to dump the clothes out. It is good for transferring to the dryer.

I love the ikea packing cubes. Have used for years

Brilliant! Some great tips and ideas!

Nice finds! And wow, I get very bored by pasta but mixing it with sausage (vegan or non) + pesto sounds delicious! And easy!

My wife and I used the Ikea Frakta bags to put our osprey packs in while travelling abroad and they were awesome to keep all the straps contained for plane travel!

Fantastic video idea! This kind of content is so great for helping keep camping accessible-- not everybody lives within driving distance of an REI, so reminders about where else to pick up gear, especially cheaply, can be so helpful. Would love to see a "buy this, skip that" camping edition at a place like Dollar Tree. Metal tongs for the fire-- yes! Caribeaners and "rope" from there-- not safe!

Hey, great ideas thanks. I would like to suggest that you drill some air holes in the lids of the bins so that moisture can escape and not rust your cookware or get mold on fabric.

I left 27 radios inside a dying tent in the clear storage bags with the orange zipper in a torrential, two-day rainstorm. (Don't ask. It wasn't intentional.) Not even the boxes got wet.

The clips have that little circular part in the middle, and when you squeeze the clip open, you can insert the clothesline into that little hole and it will help the clip not slide back-and-forth if there’s wind or if the clothes line is not level. You can also use them as clips as you did in the tree branches.
