This is camping on a budget as I scavenge as many camping supplies as I can, to help you see that camping can be done very inexpensively.
I will show you how to cut the fat off your budget by using a free camp grill, using two cheap sleeping bags rather than just one, the ins and outs of tents and their cost and trade-offs, and how to find pots and pans that don't break the bank. I'll show you how to set up a tent and how to cook over an open fire by showing you that it's okay to mess up before you master anything!
This is how to get started in camping 101!
I'll talk about how I start fires using primitive friction fire and why and how I'll often just use a lighter. I discuss kindling and cheats like using newspaper and why it's okay to start with these camping tricks and hacks.
I'll show you why you might want to spend a few extra bucks on a good quality bushcraft saw like the boreal 21 rather than a cheap Walmart brand and why a $5 tarp is often better than dropping $100. I also talk about why you should not use a chair or a tarp and just rough it so you get stronger! Why it's often better to go with a cheap tent to start, rather than an expensive one!

I use the USMC style fighting hole where you literally dig a pit and then put some branches, a camo tarp and some leaves over it. The roof should be high enough over ground level that you can point a gun out of it and see a target. I usually put that right where deer often travel. It's a bit muddy, it's ugly, it's not the most comfortable, but damn does it reel in the meat! Not having a tent is far lighter and compact. My shelter-making supplies are just a trench tool with paracord wrapped handle (for making a full-sized shovel), a hatchet with paracord wrapped handle and some mylar blankets (which weigh next to nothing and are handy in poor weather). P.S. I found a 3lb. version of your 10lb. backpack at a Salvation Army giveaway. I think it's REI brand. Probably not cheap, but I love it. I can shove 80lbs. of crap in there and it feels like 50. It's got a thin aluminum frame that is surprisingly sturdy.

If you're going to go glamping, just use dry ice, works best and lighter and cheaper in long run. Add some water to a tiny chunk of dry ice and beer and within minutes, you have frosty cold beer. Also, flash freeze your forest critters for extended stay trips. I've learned over the years, lighter is always better. Especially approaching my forties and I haven't been nice to my body over the years ✔🤣!

Thankyou for being a "dad guy" as my grandsons term you.... I'm grandma with custody since they were infants and they are now 11 and 9...i want them to have wilderness and survival experiences even if I'm a lousy candidate to teach it... i've encouraged scavenging and playing in dirt fishing and all because they are boys... I'm alone in my raising them so it's to men like yourself whom I turn to in order to share the man sides of life with them....i put them in boy scouts but it's expensive now and raising them on 236 dollars a month I want them to know how to have experiences free or very frugally... so you are a true Godsend... you just don't know how much your appreciated.... enjoy a safe and happy 4th of July with your family and thank you again!

Well, just like every camping trip, everything that could go wrong DID go wrong, and I was loving every minute of it! ...After we got back to civilization, he ran into his apartment, and I haven't seen him in 5 years!

Fantastic video with a great message. It's not a sprint it's a marathon. Can't believe how much I've learned over the last 10 years really. Went from not being able to start a fire (grew up in a big town, fire bad lol) to comfortable making fire anywhere. A few failed attempts in the beginning on 'god mode' then realising that you can bring gear with you and then learn from practice. Just one of the many examples. Nothing wrong with cheap gear as long as it functions and doesn't put you in real danger. You live and learn and my set up has evolved and grown up with me as I've gone. Got to say one piece of gear that has stayed constant is an opinel knife, just as good now as ever, its me that has changed and how I use it. Thanks again for another great video.

So I'm planning a group camp for August. I'm going to have to get a tent for my husband and I, has to have space for either a couple single cots or a full size air mattress. I can't sleep on the ground on a couple sleeping bags anymore due to the numerous health issues I've talked about previously. This video gave me plenty of ideas so thanks! One thing I'm still working on is power. I have to use intermittent flow oxygen under exertion during the day as well as continuous flow overnight. I have a portable concentrator but the battery is only good for a couple hours tops. So now I have to figure out how I'm going to keep it charged or if I'm going to haul some heavy green tanks out there with me. I'm determined not to give up though, I'm doing all the planning for a group of 20 so I can't back out now!

An air mattress is no good no insulation you should invest in sleeping mats also known as a camping pad to put on the air mattress. An mattress does not give sufficient insulation but it depends on where you are camping. In the more wild areas yes in a more rural camping ground not quite.

Dont take oxygen tanks camping!!!! Oxygen is extremely explosive. Do the condenser thing. Their are many options for solar cells that are packable and can recharge batteries for you. Bring a spare battery or 2, and recharge them. Dont bring oxygen tanks! Open flames, not a good idea. Solar is not the only option. Lots of power banks. I bring 2 solar recharging power banks with me for my overnighters. But as big as you can offord on the solar panels. Limit zero makes some nice ones

Great to know that newspapers to light a fire is not custom just in Czech Republic! :) Nice to see this evolution. I started going alone in the woods after sitting next to my computer playing games every day for almost 15 years. From 15 to my 30. Always i thought about myself that i am an "outdoorsman" because as a kid i used to go to make fires with my friend (and with newspapers and a lighter of course!). After watching tons of videos of "things that you have to have in the forrest" I packed my newly bought equpiment in my new pack. After about 5 kilometers i was done. Completely tired and exhausted. My physique was totally destroyed and my pack has about 25 kg to spend 1 night. Now, after about 6 years being more active, stopped smoking and practising "bushcraft" , my pack has about 10 kg for 1 day. I learned so much things, and I love it. Just don´t be affraid to start, and start now, because life is out there!

When I started out with folding saws, my first 2 I had were cheaper from Canadian Tire. Not very good brands, but did the job. Then finally after so many people's videos going on about Silky saws, I decided to order one on Amazon (don't sell them in stores here). I got the _silky F180 Professional_ (large teeth) and It was awesome! It even fits in my pocket. I still use that one all the time. I later got another one (same saw) for my car kit. Before that second one I had also bought a _Silky BigBoy Professional_ (large teeth) for cutting much wider trees. I am really happy with these Silky saws.

I've always been fascinated by self reliance, as a child, I used to watch Bear Grylls and Les Stroud, then I got a bit older and could appreciate Ray Mears' series. Eventually, I encountered Dual Survival, and I followed Dave Canterbury to his KZfaq channel, from where I got into watching many self reliance and wilderness channels, and I loved the idea, yet, I knew I didn't had the skills to do this stuff by myself and actually succeed at it. Then, after a couple of your videos, where you admit your mistakes, and keep trying, and show it's a learning process, I made it a goal to actually go and try it for myself, and, with my girlfriend in tow, we went camping. It wasn't anything spectacular, we went to France and went to the quietest camping we could find in Normandy, and set up tent there. It was pretty fun, and I've made my first bowdrill fire, and really enjoyed doing and learning. (I put the video of me actually lighting the damned fire on instagram @alansinsta97) Thank you for making these videos!

To be frank, after watching your "living of the lands episodes" I was able to somewhat understand (and get a bit discouraged by) how hard it truly is to survive on your own of the land. This "How I was a complete n00b" and "how to camp for beginners" episode, I thing, speaks to a lot of people (or maybe it's just me), but your effort to educate put asside a lot of the fears/dangers I believed would happen because "nature". I think a lot of people who are just getting started could benefit from your experience. This is one of the best episodes you've created so far and further episodes could help people get started on "nature". I know it helped me in understanding "how to test if I'm prepared before going into nature".

I've been camping my whole life, my dad was always an extremist in terms of bare bones camping. While it taught me survival skills it wasn't comfortable and made going on long trips miserable. So this year my husband and I decided to start camping and have invested over $600 and counting, that includes a nice tent, sleeping mats, sleeping bags etc and a kitchen set up for four people. People think it's nuts and my dad hates it. While I see his point I want to enjoy being outdoors and kind of like the semi glamping set up we have for our family. I enjoyed your video and it was nice to see what we can shave off from our gear if we choose to ✌

I am 40 now, but never got out to the woods too much. So now that's where you come in. I love the outdoors but always make excuses like it's too cold, it's snowing, whatever.

Thanks for putting out these videos. My girlfriend and I went backpacking for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was incredibly challenging, and I loved it. It was work that I actually enjoyed. (My girlfriend is still not sure if she likes backpacking, lol.) We hiked about 4 miles into the Rockies in Colorado. 1,100 ft of elevation increase in 4 miles. Needless to say, the journey out was much easier than the journey in. We also brought our dog. I learned a lot. I made a lot of mistakes. #1 was not enough bug repellent. #2 was hiking out in the afternoon. It got too hot, and I ended up carrying my dog down the mountain once she refused to leave the shade. But it makes for a great story. ;-)
