    I'm a big thrifter. I hit up the stores in the wealthier parts of town as often they donate things after only a few wears. I once found a newer version lightweight 20° Coleman down bag for 25 CENTS. 😂😂

    Definitely do a round two, maybe with Nick finding some deals. You can also find some decent used cast iron and stainless steel cookware for camping in there as well.
    Thrift stores are fantastic, when I was in high school in the early 90s we used to hit them at least once a month.

    • @amanda.outside
      @amanda.outside  Před 5 měsíci +3

      I always look for cast iron in the thrift stores! I would love to find some good thrift store deals for Nick. I think that will be a lot harder because there's not nearly as much men's stuff to choose from. It will be a good challenge!

    I love thrift stores!! Would love more content like this. Also, do you have a video about the types of fabric to wear for different seasons while hiking/camping? Normally I like cotton but I gather from this video it's not good for hiking? I'd love to know more 😊

  • @chrisharmon5453
    @chrisharmon5453 Před 5 měsíci +1

    I personally like cotton because wicking shirts are too hot and get smelly fast. If the weather is questionable then yes wool or fleece. I always carry something with me but I prefer cotton or a blend most of the time. The sweaty shirt makes natural A/C. 😅😅

    I always love what I call a 'shopping conquest'. When I was still working I'd get some crazy deals on eBay for dressy office clothing and shoes. We have a thrift shop in my town that specifically sells used outdoor gear. I buy my brother a gift card there every year for his birthday and he has scored some really great deals. A day pack that he said was usually well past $100 for something like $15, wader boots for fishing, etc. It's so cool.

    Love your channel! Would you do more on solo camping, please?
    Apologies for being off topic but:
    Do you "do" your brows yourself? They are great!
    What is the brand/color of your eyeshadow? Love it!
    Lastly, although you do not care for pink, it looks very good on you.

    Every year our local marathon has an expo before the race. The local Goodwill saves all the donated running clothes throughout the year which is also good for hiking to sell at the expo. They have clothes for all seasons and I find all kinds of awesome clothes and deals at the expo every year.

    Thrift stores are fantastic. I have found some really great pieces in Oregon and Washington when I’ve visited. I found some great hiking pants here in CA. I love merino wool. I have never found that at a thrift store but I have found good deals at REI in CA and online with sierra trading post. I love the vest cuz it is so versatile. I have one I got from Patagonia cuz I live where their headquarters are located. But I wear it a lot. Always wise to thrift store first. Then look for sales. If you are patient, you can find great things. I will def keep my eyes open for merino wool or smart wool. You really want to pay attention to fabric and quality of the fabric. Keep up the good work

  • @toryevanss4512
    @toryevanss4512 Před 5 měsíci

    I love the idea of thrifting in theory, I just can't make it work for me. I never see good stuff like you found here! Some of that is regional - I assume the outdoor gear that gets thrifted in Utah or Seattle is going to be better than here in the mid-Atlantic. I think they key is going to the thrift store frequently, but doing that (and digging through everything) just takes a lot of time that I don't have. I also find that, like with the two polyester shirts you bought, I wind up getting things I don't really need or love just because they seem OK and are so cheap.

  • @emeraldscribbles
    @emeraldscribbles Před 5 měsíci

    My hiking wardrobe is 100% thrifted (well, minus socks and undies 🤣). I don't live in a hiking area, but there are a lot of people that run marathons here. We have a consignment sale in the area twice a year that is geared more toward kids, but there is a "teen/junior" section and I have found so many synthetic shirts that are perfect for hiking. I just buy my pants used off ebay. Not only do I save money, but I don't have to worry about ruining a $100+ piece of clothing out on a hike when I paid far under the retail price for it.

  • @rodoutdoors
    @rodoutdoors Před 5 měsíci

    I saved so much finding great hiking clothes at benefit shops. Patagonia base layer shirt, Arc'teryx fleece, merino wool beanie, and a lot of synthetic shirts & shorts. It also got me to buy clothes & colors that I don't normally wear to get me out of my shell so to speak hah. Great video.

    Round 2!
    I very rarely buy new gear. There is so much available at the thrift, specially if you check back a handful of times. I understand the getting carried away aspect too! You definitely need to always have a list in your head to stick to.
    This reminds me of Stacked Golfs channel but for outdoors! They do so well on their channel with essentially the same premise!!
    My best find to-date is an Icebreaker Westerly MerinoLoft anorak jacket for $20 CAD… I found it online for the original price of $509.99 USD!!

    As a fellow tall person (but all my height/length is in my arms and torso, not my legs!), do you have any recommendations for brands that are long enough in the sleeves for you? All of mine end up too short in the sleeves, and I don't like thumb holes because then they pull on my arms.
