it's summertime and that means the other humans that call themselves your friends
0:04
and family are going to be harassing you to go outside with them sometimes even
0:10
overnight causing entire weekends to be wasted on not gaming there
0:16
i mean don't these people even know that you've got raids to run
0:20
noobs to pwn and bags to tea
0:24
well don't worry this summer you can have
0:27
your mountain dew and drink it too this summer you can bring your games with you
0:33
into the icky wilderness and i'm not talking about some mobile gaming
0:38
nintendogs switch boy baloney no no
0:43
i'm talking about having the ultimate camping
0:47
battle station so you can game on my
0:50
friends literally anywhere
1:01
all right so the first thing you'll need to take your pc gaming experience
1:05
camping is a pc we're using the infinite a from MSI it's
1:10
got a core i7 7700 CPU and a gtx 1080 so
1:15
definitely enough oomph to butter up your favorite games and it has this
1:20
convenient carrying handle it's like they knew
1:24
though depending on how much space you have in the winnebago with our guide you
1:28
can bring pretty much as much or as little firepower as you want from the
1:33
overkill to the small like this MSI gs73
1:37
vr gaming laptop whatever your rig we
1:41
can power it which brings us to
1:45
the generator if you guys are anything like me then you will love the prospect
1:51
of powering your beast machine with gasoline
1:55
but not any old generator will do
1:59
electronics especially your baby rely on
2:02
stable power delivery which is why
2:06
we are using what's called an inverter generator this one right here happens to
2:10
be capable of a completely superfluous
2:14
3500 watts of power output because that
2:17
is how we do sun also that was the only
2:21
one that was available at the rental house today but smaller inverter
2:25
generators like this one should be more than enough to get the job done since
2:30
computers generally draw less than 500 watts even while
2:36
gaming as for fuel our 8 liter generator
2:39
burned about 0.4 liters per hour during our test so for an entire weekend of 12
2:45
hour gaming sessions we'd recommend bringing along 15 liters of gas or about
2:50
4 gallons oh and don't forget to bring
2:53
along an extension cord so your teammates don't have to listen to the
2:57
drone of the generator on teamspeak as well as a power bar to plug everything
3:03
in and if you're super hardcore
3:06
a ups so even if you run out of gas you
3:11
can still finish up the round before
3:14
running over there to top up there is literally no need to shut down
3:20
ever now what we've got so far would be
3:24
enough whether you're out in the woods for a lan party with friends or your
3:29
friends totally suck and you'd rather game solo if it weren't
3:34
for pesky online activation these days
3:37
even many single-player games require an
3:40
always-on internet connection and let's face it you guys are dying to tap into
3:45
the kind of primal base instincts that only wrecking chumps from an open cliff
3:50
face can evoke so let's get online
3:55
we're using a wireless hotspot from telus that we loaded up with four gigs
3:59
of data enough to get us through an entire long weekend's worth of 12 hour
4:05
gaming sessions every day since most
4:09
modern games only use about 100 megabytes of data per hour just be sure
4:15
to get any games including updates and
4:19
downloadable content before you leave the safety of your Ethernet cables
4:24
embrace and don't canoe into the wild just yet
4:28
you may have learned enough to build a camping battle station by this point
4:35
but is it keep observing young grasshopper
4:39
with this personal canopy system you can maintain your healthy
4:44
casper-like glow and with our very
4:47
affordable monitor hood you can throw shade on your screen
4:51
and all the haters then for 100 completion add a tiny fan
4:58
that no one but you is allowed to use oh and
5:02
don't forget to bring a towel to wipe the sweat and bugle crumbs off your
5:06
fingers in between spawns
5:09
which brings us quite gracefully actually to the food situation
5:14
most beverages at the campsite are going to be chilled with ice in a cooler which
5:19
means you're going to have to get up to get one and your hands will get cold
5:24
and wet every time you reach for your drink if you're a sucker
5:29
our drinks are going to be on hand and as dry as a can of hydration can be
5:34
but aren't you going to have to leave a disc to get food anyway not this time
5:38
idiot we brought our telescopic three meter
5:42
long live streaming weenie roaster i am
5:46
never socializing again but how to keep the other humans from
5:52
coming over to me to ruin my fun got you covered
5:55
party poopers can't bork what they can't see
6:02
whoa where'd it go
6:06
plus we brought a second line of defense
6:10
literally these 10 sound grenades scream at 130
6:16
decibels perfect for repelling bears robbers or people who care about you
6:24
does this even work ah
6:28
oh shut up
6:31
but if they're anywhere near as persistent as mine at least you've got
6:35
your rig you've got your power you've got your
6:39
data and of course your camping necessities
6:43
everything you need to go totally feral
6:46
you don't even need to pack deodorant and if you really want to get in the
6:50
game by the way we recommend the far cry series
6:55
