Absolutely fabulous! A girls gotta do what she's gotta do! You do it best! Well done again!
Smart choice with the window netting. Never thought about using that
Those furkids 😍, great video Jun💪
Always waiting for your next adventure video.
I like the dog's behavior.
keep it simple. keep it safe. I'm sure there's more interesting campgrounds/campsite coming soon from you. can't wait for the next one.

Really enjoyed your video. I've slept in my Forester but I had the hatch down. Mosquito's really bother me. I'll have to pick up some of those window netting. I also moved the front passenger seat up as far as it would go and put a cooler on the floor that gave me more room as well. Can't wait to see more of your camping adventures!

Ya, that generator. It's a disturbance to enjoy a peaceful and natural environment. I guess it's just temporarily used to power the on going project. The window net fits well. Good selection of background music. Cheers.

I enjoyed watching all your solo camping video. Seems like so easy, fun and relax. Been planning to do my 1st solo for months now. Hmm... mcm x still planning 😆. Plan to do it by bike or car solo camping soon. Seems both are fun. I truly admire your way of getting peace and silent alone along all your solo camping. Keep it up Jun. peace from Puchong.

I had a similar sleeping setup in my Alza during the flood relief in Kuala Krai a few years back. Some padded mat to cushion the back. A sleeping bag as the temp dropped during the wee hours of morning. And all the front and rear side windows cranked down. A super-sized mozzie net over the car making sure to cover the opened windows. Had a good night's rest, partially also due to the hard labour preparing meals for the flood victims.

Should try sleeping on the side where the front passenger seat can be push further to the front. I feel that since you always go camping alone and especially when you're the only one at a campsite, sleeping in the car would be safer. Stay safe.

i car camp in my Prius. Awesome experience. Usually camp with my 2 doggies and been to rainforest before. It's definitely windy. Had a great time there. One question - you said it rain in the early morning with strong wind, was wondering does the rain get through to the interior through the car window net?
@JunOutdoors

Hi there, Prius is great. Amazing though how you and your two doggies fit in the Prius! As for the rain and wind, yes it did get through to the interior so I had to close up the windows, leaving just a small gap. Luckily the rain lasted only 3 hours :)

I intend to do some camping this coming year. I noticed your Forester and I was just at the showroom this morning. Would you prefer driving a Maxus V80 window van, Ranger pickup truck or Forester, for camping purposes?
@JunOutdoors
Жыл бұрын
Hi there, the answer to your question is not easy. Many factors involved. The maxus v80 is excellent as a campervan with all the camping comforts one could ask for, and you could also stand upright in it! A Ford Ranger is tough and capable and can take you literally anywhere, so that really opens up more options for camping locations. A Forester in my case is the perfect hybrid car - daily commute to work on weekdays + outdoors & camping on weekends (and a very capable one at that too). So the choice of vehicle depends on personal preferences and circumstances!

@@JunOutdoors Thanks for your valuable input. At the moment I drive a Ranger to my cabin at a farm in Kerling. I was just thinking I could fit my life into a campervan and drive around the most scenic locations but I won't be able to reach my cabin without 4WD. Of course the AWD on your Forester is the most versatile option. Take care while camping.

hi jun.. i'm looking into getting a umbrella fold instant tent like what you previously had. What was the brand/model of your previous tent? Any recommendations? any cons for getting one? Thanks.
@JunOutdoors
Жыл бұрын
Hi, my previous tent was Cho Oyu which I purchased on Shopee 5 years ago. No longer available now, I think. The biggest con : Water resistant but not waterproof, so a rain tarp + ground sheet + an extra protective waterproof layer on the tent floor will be necessary. Try PTT Outdoors Tahan series pop-up tents - heard they are quite good and the latest models are waterproof :)
