*Thank you Lectric for sponsoring this video. I absolutely LOVE my Lectric e-bike! Check out Lectric here: mdsh.io/mirandagoesoutside
I went camping with ONLY common household items I found in my house! I challenged myself to create a cozy and practical campsite using no camping gear at all, taking only things that most people have around their homes already. It's a $0 gear budget luxury camping challenge! I loaded up my car with tarps, a real bed, my actual bedding, and more, and drove to a remote campsite in the forest to spend the night. To make this more fun my producer Rainer brought his fancy and expensive camping gear so we could see if I could pull off being as comfortable as him for thousands of dollars less. Did I pull it off? Watch the video to see! 🏕️
