[Lively music plays]
KYLE: Seems like you've got a lot of great stuff here. I think we need more. I know this great place here that we can go to, that will actually let us borrow some equipment. See, that's the thing. Sometimes you don't need to go buy equipment. You can just borrow it from somebody else so that you don't create a lot of extra waste. There's this place here. It's a library. Except not for books, it's for equipment.
DESCRIPTION: A graphic of a person removing a book from a bookshelf appears.

KYLE: We're thinking about going camping, and Harrison has a bunch of items that are going to be great. However, we kinda up want to up his camping game, so we're wondering if you have anything that might help us out.

[Pops]

[Upbeat music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Gerald enters a storage room with camping gear and sports equipment on shelves and hanging on the walls. Sleeping bags and coolers are stacked.

HARRISON: What do we start with?
[Water splashes, upbeat music plays]

LISA: Well, when you're camping, sometimes you use canoes or boats, so we're going to make…

HARRISON: I’m just grabbing a whole bunch of marshmallows.

KYLE: Ta-Da! I got this dryer lint right out of my dryer. And, of course, some used toilet paper rolls.
[Pop]
DESCRIPTION: Graphics of a dryer and a toilet paper roll appear. Kyle puts half the lint in one of the empty rolls and the other half in the other.
[Text Reads] Try to use dryer lint from cotton clothes only!
KYLE: And I was thinking we could use as an eco-friendly fire starter. See, this actually helps us so we don't disrupt the local wildlife, and we can reuse stuff that we don't need. All righty folks, we ready to get camping?
[Text Reads] Yeah!
DESCRIPTION: Kyle puts the lint rolls in his pocket.
[Upbeat music plays]

KYLE NARRATES: Borrowing a tent instead of buying new. helps save the planet. But sometimes at outdoor festivals, people leave behind so many tents, they can look like a tent safari.
[Thuds]
DESCRIPTION: A cut-out photograph of Lisa wearing a safari hat appears. A graphic of a tent turns upside down.
LISA: Are there tour guides? Here we have the rare upside-down tent.
[Gulls call]
DESCRIPTION: Gulls fly over piles of garbage in a landfill.
KYLE: These tents are made of plasticky stuff like nylon and polyester. And they end up in landfills. They can sit there for 200 years because plastic takes forever to break down.
[Party horn blares]
DESCRIPTION: In an animation, a white-haired man wears a party hat and blows a party horn. Text reads, “Ha! Ha! Ha!”
LISA: 200 years? That's older than my grandpa's jokes.

WHITE-HAIRED MAN: Ow!
[Whooshes]
DESCRIPTION: Photographs show cardboard tents. A graphic of a Choco Puffs cereal box appears with a sleeping bag inside and a cut-out photograph of Kyle standing in front.
KYLE: But fear not, because there's a new tent on the block and it's made of cardboard. It's like camping in a giant cereal box, but way cooler.
[Whoosh]
DESCRIPTION: A person sprays water on a cardboard tent.
KYLE: These tents are waterproof and 100 percent recyclable.
[Bonk, bonk]
DESCRIPTION: A smiling cut-out photograph of Lisa holds a drawing of a red pencil crayon, with the tip against a red sun drawn on a cardboard tent.
LISA: So, they're eco-friendly, and you can doodle on them? Awesome!
[Upbeat music plays]

[Text Reads] Hi! Welcome.
DANIELLE: I'm Danielle.
KYLE: Thank you so much for having us.
DANIELLE: Yeah, my pleasure.
KYLE: See, Danielle, here is an expert in setting up camps in an eco-friendly and nature-friendly way.
DANIELLE: Harrison, I heard you did some camping before. What did you find the hardest thing about it?
HARRISON: Pushing the pegs into the ground.
[Pop]
DESCRIPTION: A tent graphic appears, and an arrow points to a tent peg.
DANIELLE: Yeah, some things you can't control. But I've got some tips for you. Should we set up our tent?
[Text Reads] Yeah!
[Upbeat music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Harrison picks up the tent.
DANIELLE: Ok, let's grab it. Ok, where is a good spot? Let's look for some nice flat ground.
HARRISON: So maybe here.
DANIELLE: Yeah, that looks like a great spot. And we'll open it up and make sure we have all our pieces. Do you want to help me here so you can roll this out?
[Birds chirp]
DESCRIPTION: Harrison unrolls the tent, and Danielle picks up the fly. Harrison, Kyle and Lisa spread the tent on the ground.
DANIELLE: Perfect. We've got the fly. And that's going to keep us nice and warm and dry. If it rains. And then we've got our tent here. And we've got our poles and our pegs. So it looks like we've got everything. I think we're ready to set it up.
[Soft music plays]
DESCRIPTION: They set up the tent poles and attach the tent. They spread the fly over the tent, and Danielle picks up a tent peg.
DANIELLE: I think we're ready to put the fly on now. So, we're going to insert these. And when we're inserting the pegs, we don't want to put them straight up and down; we're going to put them on a little bit of an angle. To make sure that the tent is nice and secure on the ground.
[Water splashes]
DESCRIPTION: In animation, water splashes on the ground by Harrison’s tent peg.
DANIELLE: So if the ground is really hard, it can be hard to get the pegs all the way into the ground, like you mentioned earlier. So what you can do is you can pour a little water into the ground. Leave it there for a minute, and it's going to help soften it a little bit. Okay, well, we can try using a piece of wood, maybe, to help knock it down a little bit.
[Wood bangs]
DESCRIPTION: Harrison hits the peg into the ground with a piece of wood.
DANIELLE: The tent is set up.
[Cheers, applause, whoosh, birds chirp, upbeat music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Later, Harrison, Kyle, and Lisa sit on camping chairs around a metal fire pit. Danielle stands with her hands on her hips.
DANIELLE: I think we're ready to get our fire started now. So, what do you think we're going to need for our fire
[Pop]
DESCRIPTION: A graphic of a log pile appears.
HARRISON: Some wood, definitely.
DANIELLE: Yeah. When we're building our fire, it going to be super important that we're using wood that comes from the campsite or local wood, because we don’t want to bring any little critters or insects that aren't indigenous to the area in.
[Axe bangs, wood clatters]
DESCRIPTION: Between the tent and the fire pit, Lisa chops wood.
DANIELLE: We're going to need some different pieces of wood. So Lisa is bringing over our kindling.
LISA: Got it!
DANIELLE: Perfect.
[Kindling clatters]
DESCRIPTION: Lisa puts an armful of kindling beside Danielle.
DANIELLE: We have some medium pieces here. We've got some bigger pieces that are fuel logs. And we're going to need some water.
[Water sprays]
DESCRIPTION: Kyle fills a bucket at a tap and brings it to the campsite. Danielle picks up two pieces of kindling.
DANIELLE: Great! So that'll just allow us to put our fire out if we have any issues and it gets out of control. We’re gonna use some kind of medium-sized pieces of kindling. We're going to put two parallel in the bottom like this. And then you can grab this piece. And we're going to put them on here. And we're going to put another one there in the opposite direction.
[Bird chirps loudly]
DESCRIPTION: Harrison lays a piece of wood across the first two.
DANIELLE: Perfect, let's see if we can find another good size. Maybe this one will work well.
DESCRIPTION: Harrison adds a second piece of kindling.
DANIELLE: Yeah. So, we want to make sure we have enough space in the middle that we can put our fire starter.
DANIELLE: I think we have some fire starters that you made earlier right that we can use.
KYLE: I got just the thing.
HARRISON: It’s got lint in the toilet paper.
DANIELLE: Do you want to put that right into the middle of the fire? Amazing!
DESCRIPTION: Harrison puts the toilet paper roll on the kindling.
DANIELLE: We're going to keep adding a couple of pieces of wood just on top of these ones. Do you want to add a couple?
HARRISON: Sure.
DESCRIPTION: Harrison piles the kindling.
DANIELLE: We'll put a couple parallel like this way. And put another one on that side.
HARRISON: Another parallel.
[He chuckles]
DANIELLE: Exactly. Perfect!
[Match scrapes]
DESCRIPTION: Danielle strikes a match and lights the fire.
DANIELLE: And I'm going to try to light right where our fire starter is.
[Fire crackles]
DESCRIPTION: Later, Harrison, Danielle, and Kyle sit on the chairs around the fire. Lisa holds up her hands in long black gloves.
LISA: Ok, it looks like our fire is ready for grilling. I've got my fireproof gloves on, and I'm going to flip the grill.
[Upbeat music plays, metal clanks]
DESCRIPTION: Lisa flips a grill over the metal fire pit.
LISA: Eeeeee. Now we're going to put the banana boats on the fire, and the heat from the flames are going to make it nice and ooey goey.
DESCRIPTION: Lisa puts four foil-wrapped bananas on the grill.
HARRISON: I’ve never melted bananas and marshmallows before.
LISA: I'm sure you're going to love it. All right, while we wait, let's eat some of the delicious fruit skewers.
[Pop]
DESCRIPTION: Harrison, Kyle, and Danielle eat fruit skewers, and a smiling emoji licks its lips. Kyle sits down on his chair, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding a red acoustic guitar. Lisa sits down. She unfolds one side of the foil on s’mores nachos.
LISA: Okay. And now we wait.
DESCRIPTION: Lisa eats a s’more nacho.
[Guitar music plays, hands clap, chimes, pop]
DESCRIPTION: Kyle plays the guitar. Lisa puts s’mores nachos on a metal plate and opens the foil around a banana boat. Harrison smiles and eats his banana boat. Text in a thought bubble reads, “Yum!” Everyone claps as Kyle plays.

[Pop, upbeat music plays]
DESCRIPTION: A graphic shows a man and a woman putting recycling in a green bag.
HARRISON: We have to clean up.
LISA: Of course.
[Text Reads] Pack in, pack out.
LISA: Everything we brought to the campsite, we got to leave with.
KYLE: But I think there's something we have to do first, right?
DANIELLE: Yeah, we've got to put the fire out. Do you want to give me a hand?
HARRISON: Sure.
DANIELLE: Okay, we got our bucket of water right here. We'll do it really slowly.
[Fire hisses]
DESCRIPTION: Danielle and Harrison slowly pour water on the campfire.
DANIELLE: We want to make sure that you don't see any red embers.
[Water splashes]
DESCRIPTION: Harrison finishes pouring water on the fire.
DANIELLE: I think that looks pretty good, Harrison. I think it's out enough.
KYLE: Let's leave no trace team.
DESCRIPTION: Everyone picks up trash. They take down the tent and roll it up.
[Upbeat music plays]

KYLE: Wow!
[Camera shutter snaps]
DESCRIPTION: A cut-out photograph of Kyle and Lisa poses in front of the dancing bear. Kyle holds a smartphone, and Lisa winks.

[Text Read] Let’s go.
[Tent rustles, fly rustles]

[Wood clatters, fire crackles]
DESCRIPTION: At the campsite, the boys build the fire. In the middle, the toilet paper roll burns. Later, the campfire burns brightly, and the boys roast hot dogs.
HARRISON: It wasn't easy to light the fire. I needed to get Mom's help. We made the fire by just putting some lint, and now we're roasting hot dogs on it.
IN GREEN SQUAD HEADQUARTERS, KYLE: Wow, I love that he had all of his bases covered, and he was teaching somebody new.
[Fire crackles]
DESCRIPTION: At the campsite, Harrison carries a water bottle to the campfire. Beside him, the short-haired boy waves smoke away from his face.
HARRISON: We’re going to use some water. And you have to put it out, until every single ember is gone.
IN GREEN SQUAD HEADQUARTERS, KYLE: I love how important fire safety was to him, and if that spreads and gets out of control and there's big forest fire, that's a lot of air pollution, right? So fire safety is really important.
LISA: Yeah.
[Tent flap unzips]
DESCRIPTION: At the campsite, Harrison and his friend poke their heads out of the tent and wave.
BOTH SAY: Bye!
IN GREEN SQUAD HEADQUARTERS, ERIC: I'm really glad that he brought his friend. You know, his whole mission was to learn more about camping and then be able to share nature with his friends and family.
LISA: And all of the amazing and important things he learned about how to be eco-friendly while camping.
KYLE: And his next camping experience is going to be even better.
LISA: Harrison, that was fire!
[Fire crackles]

KYLE: Seems like you've got a lot of great stuff here. I think we need more. I know this great place here that we can go to, that will actually let us borrow some equipment. See, that's the thing.

[Text Reads] Try to use dryer lint from cotton clothes only!
KYLE: And I was thinking we could use as an eco-friendly fire starter. See, this actually helps us so we don't disrupt the local wildlife, and we can reuse stuff that we don't need. All righty folks, we ready to get camping?
[Text Reads] Yeah!

KYLE: These tents are waterproof and 100 percent recyclable.
[Bonk, bonk]

DANIELLE: Ok, let's grab it. Ok, where is a good spot? Let's look for some nice flat ground.

[Birds chirp]

DANIELLE: Perfect. We've got the fly. And that's going to keep us nice and warm and dry. If it rains. And then we've got our tent here. And we've got our poles and our pegs. So it looks like we've got everything. I think we're ready to set it up.
[Soft music plays]
DESCRIPTION: They set up the tent poles and attach the tent. They spread the fly over the tent, and Danielle picks up a tent peg.
DANIELLE: I think we're ready to put the fly on now. So, we're going to insert these. And when we're inserting the pegs, we don't want to put them straight up and down; we're going to put them on a little bit of an angle. To make sure that the tent is nice and secure on the ground.
[Water splashes]
DESCRIPTION: In animation, water splashes on the ground by Harrison’s tent peg.
DANIELLE: So if the ground is really hard, it can be hard to get the pegs all the way into the ground, like you mentioned earlier. So what you can do is you can pour a little water into the ground. Leave it there for a minute, and it's going to help soften it a little bit. Okay, well, we can try using a piece of wood, maybe, to help knock it down a little bit.
[Wood bangs]

DANIELLE: The tent is set up.

[Pop]
DESCRIPTION: A graphic of a log pile appears.
HARRISON: Some wood, definitely.
DANIELLE: Yeah. When we're building our fire, it going to be super important that we're using wood that comes from the campsite or local wood, because we don’t want to bring any little critters or insects that aren't indigenous to the area in.
[Axe bangs, wood clatters]

DANIELLE: We have some medium pieces here. We've got some bigger pieces that are fuel logs. And we're going to need some water.
[Water sprays]
DESCRIPTION: Kyle fills a bucket at a tap and brings it to the campsite. Danielle picks up two pieces of kindling.
DANIELLE: Great! So that'll just allow us to put our fire out if we have any issues and it gets out of control. We’re gonna use some kind of medium-sized pieces of kindling. We're going to put two parallel in the bottom like this. And then you can grab this piece. And we're going to put them on here. And we're going to put another one there in the opposite direction.
[Bird chirps loudly]
DESCRIPTION: Harrison lays a piece of wood across the first two.
DANIELLE: Perfect, let's see if we can find another good size. Maybe this one will work well.
DESCRIPTION: Harrison adds a second piece of kindling.
DANIELLE: Yeah. So, we want to make sure we have enough space in the middle that we can put our fire starter.
DANIELLE: I think we have some fire starters that you made earlier right that we can use.
KYLE: I got just the thing.
HARRISON: It’s got lint in the toilet paper.
DANIELLE: Do you want to put that right into the middle of the fire? Amazing!
DESCRIPTION: Harrison puts the toilet paper roll on the kindling.
DANIELLE: We're going to keep adding a couple of pieces of wood just on top of these ones. Do you want to add a couple?
HARRISON: Sure.

DANIELLE: We'll put a couple parallel like this way. And put another one on that side.
HARRISON: Another parallel.
[He chuckles]
DANIELLE: Exactly. Perfect!
[Match scrapes]
DESCRIPTION: Danielle strikes a match and lights the fire.
DANIELLE: And I'm going to try to light right where our fire starter is.
[Fire crackles]
DESCRIPTION: Later, Harrison, Danielle, and Kyle sit on the chairs around the fire. Lisa holds up her hands in long black gloves.
LISA: Ok, it looks like our fire is ready for grilling. I've got my fireproof gloves on, and I'm going to flip the grill.
[Upbeat music plays, metal clanks]
DESCRIPTION: Lisa flips a grill over the metal fire pit.
LISA: Eeeeee. Now we're going to put the banana boats on the fire, and the heat from the flames are going to make it nice and ooey goey.

[Fire crackles]

HARRISON: We’re going to use some water. And you have to put it out, until every single ember is gone.

LISA: Yeah.
[Tent flap unzips]
DESCRIPTION: At the campsite, Harrison and his friend poke their heads out of the tent and wave.
BOTH SAY: Bye!
IN GREEN SQUAD HEADQUARTERS, ERIC: I'm really glad that he brought his friend. You know, his whole mission was to learn more about camping and then be able to share nature with his friends and family.
