LEAK LEAK LEAK LEAK 🤣🤣
You can get tablets to stop that issue lol 😂
Me and my mate used 2 of these up on the north Pennines side by side and they did leak . We then put a large Quechua tarp over the pair of them and we were bone dry after that.
These are kiddy play tents but they do the job if you have nothing else. Maybe fabsik would do the trick with this tent
@@Andyarms75 I wouldn't seal it if I'm using a tarp over as a fly, leave it breathable and let it work as a inner imho.
But I WOULD be using a tarp over it haha!
I think it's a good thing what you are doing with the camping on a budget but as you say yourself, it's the tent is going to let you down.
So as others above are pointing out, the question for the next video is, having spent £70 on basic kit, do you now spend £15 on fabsil or a builder's tarp from Screwfix or what's the cheapest camping tarp on Amazon like?
@@paulkennedy5021 I meant to include a cheap tarp into the budget, not as an above and beyond cost but yes, another vid idea could be "Having bought xyz shops kit for £70, what little additions really make a difference to your experience?"
Leaking tents make memories, my kids are in their twenties and thirties we still laugh about all the camping disaster and triumph and I still love camping so grandkids.
My old father used to say 'I'd rather be stuck with it than without it' can be applied to many things in life.
This is amazing Dan. I watched the vid, went straight to the shops, and bought exactly the same items. Exactly the same price too. £68.47. Superb. I couldn't wait to get home and get started.
I got home, showed my wife all my new kit, then she dropped the bombshell that I already have a superb 4 season Berghaus tent, Jet boil cooker, lightweight plate, cup and cooking equipment. Rucksack, walking boots and all the paraphernalia for camping.
This Althzeimers is a real bugger.........
😅😅😅
😅😅😅
WHAT YOU SAYING
Nobody gonna point out that she just couldn't WAIT to piss on your chips and spoil your day?
I say good on ya mate and ignore her, you camp how YOU like haha!
Whoops, well enjoy camping on a budget
@@andrewrcmadwilkinson6999 That you are a Nerdy lol
Yes. This tent is from the “it can’t get worse” series and is only suitable as a donor of parts if you buy it on sale or in stock. I bought this one and exactly for these purposes. Fiberglass poles will be used as spare poles for the main tent (they are fully compatible and separately cost more than this tent in stock). I made different covers for equipment from the material. The anti-mosquito net turned into a mosquito net for fishing. Everything came in handy. I myself have also been traveling by bicycle for many years. Have a good trip and make profitable purchases
Hi mate just watch the end of the video when you said about that guy wants to money cast of the rain ruined all these equipment. what is wrong with these people. say this again I’ll say it before it takes a long time for you to prep film and edit these videos and it seems to me these people just want to destroy your channel. You’re not the only CZcamsr was going through this I’m afraid this is becoming a bit of an epidemic we are people claiming the advice that youtubers are gave them is wrong and they want money from you and Other CZcamsrs
Hi m8 My advice to you is To put a disclaimer that the start your video . I do believe this is the second time that somebody’s tried this on you as I say you’re not alone in this matter quite a few CZcamsrs are red the same problem people. Keep on making great videos . you know the saying don’t let the b……. grind you down
Shows it can be done mate! I think buying second hand better quality stuff would be my choice over new cheap stuff for a similar price. I’d be doing what you’ve done but on eBay! Excellent as always brother! Enjoyed watching again 👍🏽👍🏽😎
It would be so interesting after you have tried all the different budget places in this series, to choose your favourite items from all the different places, then someone on a budget can know where to get the best budget gear :)
Well done Dan great ideas for people starting out 👍x
I’ve just got a cheap set up for festival and came across your videos, genuinely enjoy them mate so keep doing what you’re doing I’ve subscribed, I bought a cheap tent in Tesco £25 for a 4 man tent but it didn’t sit right with me, I ended up buying a second hand one on gumtree for £30 which has only been used once and it’s a sendero 4 which is much better and I’m sure I’ll be going camping with it after festival. Keep it up mate and keep bringing the people content whilst doing what you enjoy. These sad people moaning on your comments are pathetic, you can only advise people and give your opinion it’s up to us the viewers to take it on board or not and do as we like 👍 thank you fella.
Every time , every single time I'm in hb
I buy something Its brilliant
I’d say if you’ve only got £100, buy the tent and just take utensils and a duvet/pillow from home then if ya like it buy the proper camping gear
Used this tent at camp 3 on Everest in 200k winds. Let me know if you think that I survived. 😂
Definitely leaks. I've paid a good bit more and had leaks. YOU are the MASTER OF THIS TYPE OF VIDEO. I believe you make better choices than our blokes in America.
Those few extra £2 on your budget could be spent on a cheap PU tarpuline to put over the tent, definately making it rain proof! 😀
My first tent I bought for 60 pound from Tesco's loved it for years with all the basic camping and equipment. Reighton sands was great for us.kids all grown up now..good times
It will be as waterproof as a tea bag...hahaha.. Love your vids Dan.. Cant believe someone would blame you for getting wet in a drought.. Keep doing what you do best mate showing us all this quality gear.....😀
Tea bag 😅😅😅
Another cracking video Dan full of sound information thanks for sharing and you always get f,,ktards but we are wearing our big boy trousers
More leaks than a barbwire canoe Dan. Bushyboy Oz
I started camping with a cheap Argos tent, single ring cooker, then I got a double ring cooker for same price as single (not what you know 😉 😉) enamel plate, dish, mug, cutlery set eBay favourite mug was a cheap green plastic one. As time went on I bought better and replaced tent, sleeping bag, camping mat’s but my brother bought a six berth motorhome for us to get around Britain and fish but age and illness put an end to that but camping car ( Zafira) came to mind so more, smaller stuff followed but a drastic change in body meant not being able to get out of the bungalow but just wait until the power cuts and price increases I can live off the grid indoors! Over the weeks a bit extra on my home delivery and I have packet soups and tinned food and lanterns and a folding alcohol cooker and spreading it out over the weeks hasn’t meant a last minute rush to get stuff and if my son invites me camping he does the food I buy the takeaway and I can sleep in my car in comfort.
Just praying for that miracle to get my body working just enough.
Tent leaks by the way. Similar to my first one that I had and swapped for a two sided gazebo?
Love the videos 👌👋🏴
Definitely leaking haha, straight through that zip at least!
I would spend a little more on a double layer tent at least, I got one for £24 from Asda! You’ll have to use a watering can to test mate, peeps will moan about using a hosepipe. Interesting vid stay safe atb 👍🦊
THOSE STOVES have served me so well! Camps, table-side cooking/warming, and power outages: this plus the canisters are the thing!
Awesome video Danny and yes definitely will leak.
Great video mate and the last one it’s a great idea to show people what you can get
And take the best bits from each shop to make a budget kit that works for u
Top video keep up the great work
Also be nice at the end if u put all the best bits from each haul u do to make a good budget kit
Ps f$#k the haters you doing a great job
You could always throw a tarp over the top of the tent to give it a bit more "water resistance"!
All your videos empress me keep up the great videos one hundred thumbs up 👍
I am really liking this set of vids , showing people that want to start but arent sure if they will like it that they can get set up for a reasonable price ....brilliant !!! My mate has a tent similar to what you have in this vid , we call it super tent ,it has with stood winds like you woudnt believe , havent had to worry about leaking dont get that much rain in my neck of the woods :)
No leaks and you have to use it for all your camps. Cost of living crisis so let's see how long cheap lasts.
Hi, discovered your channel by chance and it was a no brainer for me to subscribe. Just binge watched some of your videos. I can honestly say you are an absolute breath of fresh air to me and my family. We want to try camping and your videos are incredible and very advisable and gives us newbies the knowledge and confidence to go out and buy camping equipment. Forget that troll who wants cash back from you. I bet he spends all his days trolling youtubers. Thanks again for amazing videos. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video, thank you.
The tent maybe is a festival tent... few nights and then left in a field ! . For £15 it's not exactly a Everest situation. Cheap & cheerful , affordable for the ppls :) .
Hi Daniel I just brought a 2 man tent from asda for my nephew for £20.00 brand new ..not sleeped in it yet put it up in the garden .very similar to the eurohike avon will be giving it a try in the next couple of days..keep up the great videos all the best mike
Leak leaky… ok for the garden but that’s it - Emma & Rick 👍🏼
Good video's Dan, enjoying them, as for tent leak or no leak , bet it does a good imitation of a swimming pool !!!😉🤣😂
Be Well Dan , Have a good weekend mate !👍
Great stuff. I suppose you could throw a cheap tarp over the tent if you're using it in unsettled weather. After all it's budget camping, not a K2 expedition! Keep up the good work and don't worry about the swivel eyed loonies! Ha! Oh, leaks BTW....
That's how it works. For an adult it is really just a wind and light rain bivy. Keeps the bugs and animals out of your bed.
If you get a thin tarp and stretch it from top to in front of the door you make vestibule. The door zipper leaks. It has no welt.
However for a quick bivy it is great. You can leave your bedroll in it, pull the poles, roll it all up and strap it to your bike or hike pack lower straps.
Then you set up camp in 2 minutes...all sleep gear dry since the floor is a poly strand tarp.
A solid tent if you can stretch the budget is a Vango Banshee, good weight, solid performance will do most hills and weather easily.
Defo get what you pay for, as you said “ Tent will be ok for garden camping, or simple good weather summer camping for a night or so.
A mat is cheaper than the blow up air bed, put it underneath the tent to protect the ground sheet. Eat out of the mess tin..
Great vid x I love camping 🏕
Can't wait to see the overnight in this! Least the mattress looks comfy.
Looking forward to seeing you putting this gear into action. Be interesting to see what you make of that "3 season" sleeping bag.
Informative and realistic, many thanks.
Great advice thankyou
Won’t leak the first time but will leak every time after 😂
Ideal tent for kids in the garden
Loving the budget camping gear please do more
Well I've been watching a few of your videos, I tried to buy the camping gear in one place, but ended up buying in 3 places, halfords for the sleeping bag(only for summer) , aldi for tent, and home bargains for the gas cooker, gas, and metal tin. I've got the rest, ie fork knife, and plate and bowl and cup and some kind of light lol so I obviously save some pennies, came to £53. So not bad. Plus I can buy food once at the location. I enjoy walking and finding new places, so this will expand my area of exploring. Plus I've really enjoyed your videos. Keep up the awesome work
Great Dan like to see you do the pricing from on line,great mate,things don't have to cost the world instead of the tent apart all different prices 😀 👍.
Seems an ideal starter kit to see if you like it and then you could pick what to upgrade as and when budget allows.
You got the right summer for a good camp out,
Love your videos Dan 👍
Leak like a knackered fridge !!!!! 😂🤣
88.5k cmon lads and ladys get this man to 100k
Bloody brilliant that👍
This was great! I've just recently bought some of those items and I haven't used them yet so this was great! I would have loved to see you sleep in there using the lamp etc...
I said it won’t leak my wife says it will so that cheap tent had better not let me down, enjoyed watching nice to see those familiar products we see everyday in Home & Bargain and ask ourselves are they any good, keep making these vids comparing gear love it. 👍👍
I don't know what's wrong with people,I can see what your trying to do, and it's a great idea, if they don't get it, then they aren't worth the subscription. Keep up the good work Dan 👍 I love your videos.
Hi Dan I really thought your video was really good. Well done
good video, showing whats out there. for people that are first timers its not a total disaster if they do not like it, might have to get a new cutlery set now I have seen that to replace / accompany me 30 plus year old one. not going for leak but, might be up for floating though.
I do like the budget videos. Maybe at the end of them do your best bits from all the stuff you buy.
It gives people an idea & there honest reviews.
As a kid in the 70s I remember swimming and paddling at the beach wearing those inflatable red arm bands, remember them?
Well that inflatable camp bed and pillow are the exact same material and have that strong vinyl smell. The smell is almost overpowering but in a good way. For some reason, in myself at least it generates an almost euphoric sense of nostalgia and childhood memories every time I smell it.
Interesting. Kind of what we did when we first started camping., Its possible to go lower by using a yoga mat for the bed. Nowhere near as cosy as the blow up but defo cheaper. Also a cheap bag can always have a blanket added that you just have at home already. We didnt bother with pillows and just used rolled up jumpers.
Yes it will leak. You're giving great advice. It is best to camp in nice weather for you're first time. You want you're first first experience to be a good one.
Good videos mate, decent stuff. Halfords are a good place to check out for decent priced tents, they have sales on also.
Single skin should definitely leak love the vids and all the information you give handy for first time campers 👍
Cheap at first is the way to go. Which just means keep an eye on the weather and don't camp in rainy and drizzly conditions.
If you like the experience, then upgrade your equipment one piece at a time.
Love your work Dan, cheers mate.
Love your videos
Thank you
nice one dan
Im amazed how good your selection is and low your prices are there :( sadly Canadian companies see's you coming
Great video Dan. Ignore the idiots mate.... Definitely gonna leak!
I think it won't initially but after a few uses it will. Just done a set up for my bro in law, £150 budget, got him a family tent with living area, £85 and other basics from range. I reckon £150 will get you a good set up for a summer wild camp, starting with Phoxx 1 as your starter. Love the Phoxx 1, was good in strong winds. Another good one Dan, good idea to see what you can get from the different shops, I have some stuff from Asda and Range to supplement my more expensive stuff. I also have a few smaller items from mountain warehouse, buy 2 get 1 free, water bottles, camping pillow and items like this. 👍
Dan's word is gospel................. According to some but each to his own, hey Dan hammocks 😂🤣😂🤣👍
Hi woodsman very interesting video thank you from sylvia ukxx 💐💕🐥
I have been using a cheap £40 tent for years now. It has held up well and not leaked yet but it is double skinned and a grade above what you bought. I still think this will be waterproof for one use if you’re fair with the hose.
To be totally honest, yep I think it'll probably leak, but......, but.... exactly as you quite clearly stated, it's a nice and cheap and easy introduction for an average person to "dip-their-toe" and see if they like camping in the first place, then yep if they like it, yeah invest in some better gear, but if their not keen then atleast they haven't spent a fortune (and at the end of the day such as the stove and lantern etc, would be handy to keep in a cupboard or something for incase of a power cut etc).
Great honest content, keep up the good work mate.
I've just spent a week down in Devon, didn't need a sleeping bag, keeping cool in the tent was the problem, took my huge family tent, which has lots of air going through it, would be terribly hot in one of those wee tents. Jungle blanket XL, better use of money, I bought a camping shower for 5 quid at Aldi which proved useful this trip.
If it is really sunny and you have something to tie it to, suspending a tarp over your tent in the hot part of the day keeps the tent cool, as the tarp rather than the tent gets hot. Walking poles at one end are a good shout usually, but needs some guy lines, cordage etc to keep it up. Tie the other end to picnic bench, tree, car door etc if available.
@@alanmurdoch70 I have a large tarp with a reflective side, makes a difference, but not too close or the heat hangs around.
I have that model tent and my kids have camped in it a few times. It features on my Cheap Tent Test video and did alright until a big storm hit. I did wonder why you didn't buy two dixies (mess tins) instead of one plus the plate/bowl/cup etc. I guess having used dixies in the army for years makes me biased but you have a cooking and eating vessel. keep up the great work.
Hi EWM I watch all your vids soon as they come out but never comment. Do bits of camping myself with my dog it’s good fun, just abit of a nightmare at the moment as everywhere is mega busy.
Anyways to the TENT ⛺️ yes that will defo leak, not a chance that would stand a rain shower up snowdonia 😂 the poles would probably break as well with the weight on the water. Defo get what you pay for. A**
Started off hammock tarp style but think it’s defo tent all the way now.
100% thats leaking mate lol.great video as always
You know everything there will do the job in the Summer. Not keen on this cheap tents and I reckon with a bit of patience a better tent would pop up either on flea Bay or end of season end of line sales. I've just come back from Glamping and there was a lot of these bright red eurohike tents around on the site. They don't look to bad, I think millets or blacks sell them? Either way for 60 to 100 quid you can see a lot of OEX, Vango, Mountain Warehouse and Naturehike tents on sale.
Dan I am loving the videos especially this series, it really shows people you can get into camping for a budget. Also things like the cooking stuff and the light will get years of use if looked after, nice one mate and good to see you laughing at the Trolls.
The sleep system looks so comfy, made me want to go for a sleep 😂 Hope the tent doesn’t leak 🙈
Pound Land also does camping gear :) although as with most stores its Mid August and stocks are running low. Tesco is also another store (at the time of writing they have a sale on to get rid of their gear). Have fun. My guess is it will leak, some seam sealant might make it a little more water tight but those zips :) Next week most of the UK has rain forecast so might be a good time to test.
I've not not even watched the video but this is great as anyone can summer camp on cheap gear there's a good stuff but most people are over gunned I had the same thing when I used to do carp fishing thousands of pounds of gear when I could catch on on a nice Shimano rod and reel for less than a hundred nicker
Thanks for the Budget camping video I would like to do camping I would buy a tent from Argos for £ 25 one again thanks for the info 👍👏
You mentioned at end of video that Bolton is near you. Nearly all of my family in England are in Bolton. I thought that was cool.
Stay safe.
Hi Dan, After you do all the camping on a budget it would be good to see you take the best gear from the videos out and do a camp and let us all know the total amount from the equipment used. You could even take your home bargains pillow 🤣
p.s. THE TENT WILL LEAK !
I was thinking the same, keep receipts and do a 'Best of' bundle 👍
Thats a great idea a "Best of the Budget range" video and maybe a video about just what is the very cheapest tent you could use for rainy weather that doesn't leak, although I suspect such a tent would be at the very least £50.
@@mikkdc Or require a bit of nous to tweak to be fit for purpose which beginners may not have lol, I throw tents away when the duct tape to tent ratio affects the visual of it haha, either that or the floor disintegrates and you wake up thinking you're covered in thunderbugs :-P
@@OldNavajoTricks LOL I love that - Duct tap to tent ratio :D
@@mikkdc But at least people will know what cheap equipment we can buy that can be or have a much higher chance of been trusted in damp or unideal conditions.
DEFO LEAK,LEAK, LEAKY LEAK LOL 🤘🤘🏴🏴🏴
Yeeeeeaaaaàah you're gonna have to take that bag out later in the year and see what's what haha, I'd throw a tarp over the tent as backup.
Nice haul for the outlay though, watching continues...
Maybe an idea for the cheaper tents IS to include a tarp addition, but highlight its other uses, pavilion, windbreak, fire reflector, groundsheeting etc.
Takes up very little room and is multi use, why NOT take one every trip :-D
Looking forward to your camping setup from Ikea.
Part of the pleasure is surviving with cheaper kit, you can always put a cheap tarp over the tent creating a dry area at the front, and it's a windproof option.
This autumn I'm going to buy one of those sheep skin coats for sitting around in and a trailer to pull it along in cos they're heavy✌
I'd say it would fair up well for 45 seconds then definitely leak 🤣🤣
These tents are good for the back garden for the kids and festivals. The best things to do with it, is to put play sand in it, it protects your kids from the sun and stops cats fouling it in.
Love your videos, and I say definitely leak! :)
When you do the hose pipe test be fair no direct spraying. Make it like a light shower first, maybe a garden sprinkler would be a good starting place
Hiya pal, it's a good bundle for the money you paid, but with you on the tent, I would only take that out in the summer if there was no possibility of there being a small shower, it's screaming leaky to me, but I have always had double skin tents. But, you can always find bargains if you know where to look, in my day, it was army surplus and Famous Army Stores, thanks for posting and all the best mate.
Can't wait for Wild camping..... Hurry up but take your time 😉🤣🤟
I’m just back from a weekend camp and while I already have gear I grabbed a few things from Tesco , they were selling the inflatable pillows for 75p so grabbed a couple and tents were half price with a club card even though it is also a cheap tent it would do for a weekend in the sun no problem
That tent is a defo candidate for springing a leak
