What budget wild camping gear would you recommend?
U idea of budget misses the mark😅😂
Thank you 🙏
Oh and don’t forget the £20 to be able to purchase anything from go outdoors … I am surprised go outdoors are still doing this crap £20 to buy … winfields outdoors is a much better option and a lot cheaper than go outdoors not just a little saving but a lot
Million star hotel……. i liked that
Stay well clear of the Technicals bag shown!
The 65L version is the worst bag I've ever had!
One to avoid!
I've had cheapo backpacks from Aldi that I'd rate higher than quality of the Technicals bags shown here.
Too much of a wrestle to pack down. Once packed all the pockets are useless. The seams rip on the top pocket and side pockets very easily, the clips aren't durable and the straps are poorly designed and weakly stitched.
I wouldnt recommend the OEX sleeping mat at all! It may have a semi-decent R-value but you may as well take a cardboard box to sleep on! Spend a little extra and get a thicker, more comfortable mat!
£23 headtorch and expensive meals, upgrade your sleeping mat instead 😅
I need a new bag as well.
Definitely recommend the OEX Hiero stove and the gas/pot stand adapter. Better to spend on a decent stove now and it will be more use for longer. On food, forget adventure food packs, go to B&M, normal complete meals in tins and packets, £1 – £1.50 a go, they taste way better too. If you add in the weight of the water you need, adventure meals don’t really stack well.
He bought a 3/4ths sleeping mat xD funny as fk lad ya must be 2 foot tall
I remember when it was just ‘camping’. 🤷🏼♂️
a sleeping bag should cost the most £35
From USA but this was sick ❤
Temu loads cheaper
My advice would be don't buy this type of gear as it's far too heavy.
I wanna say spend a decent amount on bags as cheap bags always fail I learnt the hard way I pay around £75-£115 now
The first bag he show is my camp bag, plenty spacious, has held my gear plus tent for a six day Scout Hike. It has weird but handy zipped pockets all over and don’t put anything in the bottom compartment before filling the bag you’ll stand no chance of getting it out unless you empty the bag
The Nepal 65l bag is great for the price I’ve got it and used it.
What's the point when it's illegal to wild camp in This country
Oex is a great introduction kit
Love it, I'm compiling same, cheapest I can find
Wander round a few charity shops, or Car boots in the summer. Almost new for a fraction of New.
My favourite shop. Always spend a small fortune in there on things all probably never use 😂
That's great, but i dont have shoes, clothes, a coat…. 😂
Tried out so much camping gear and the only thing I would avoid is OEX sleeping bags! The comfort rating is well out but great video!
I went yesterday and picked up a phoxx II, sleeping bag and mat. Didn't even think about grabbing a couple of meals 😢. Tins will do for now I guess.
Nice to see a lad from boro doing it . Great vid
If ya don't mind the weight go to an army surplus store that stuff will last you forever
That OEX self inflating mat is absolute dog shit. It's actually what I started with and very quickly replaced it. For a start it's only a 3/4 length. It's thin and offers zero support and barely any protection from the cold. You may as well chuck money in the bin.
I was thinking about getting some army surplus but dk if it's actually good
I know it will probably keep me alive but probably not the most comfortable
