- I'm out again sleeping under the stars but this time I've put together a full wild camping set up on a budget. I managed to bring the cost of all the gear used, as well as food and drink, under £300. It’s also ultralight at just under 4.8kg.
I also go through some tips for anyone looking to get into the hobby.

Great video! Vango are definitely the most underrated. People spend ridiculous money on gear these days and it's just not necessary for what most people will do with it. It's more about getting out than the gear. I actually love the challenge of doing it on less money.
My first tent was a WWII pup tent used in the 1950's. Cooking, eating and drinking gear was an old boy scout aluminum mess kit with water held in an old WWII canteen. Sleeping gear was army blanket with canvas on the ground. My pillow was my clothes rolled up around my shoes.
I’m frightened to ask how much that weighed 👀
@@holmesaway don't know. Never weighed it, just carried it,but it weighed less than the 50 and 100 lb feed sacks I carried.
Great video mate. I've been looking at buying a tent and getting my self out there.
Nice one Dar' my mrs is fuming cos im looking online for tents. Class vid bro x
If she’s fuming then get out of her hair for a night and go camping. She can’t be angry with you if you ain’t there 😜
@@holmesaway sounds like sound logic.
Great video great advice
Still using a mountain warehouse down bag I paid 69 quid for. I use it like a quilt for me and dog in all but winter weather, top vid and inspirational for young peeps wanting a start, top man🙌
Thank you. If it gets people out and enjoying what we do then I’ve done my job 👍🏻
This is superb. Wanting to dip my toe into a bit of wild camping but choices (and prices) are a minefield. This gives great advice. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Hope you get out soon 👌🏻
My first tent was a bobcat 1 got it for 50 pounds off ebay still use now 2 years on
Another great budget option 👌🏻 Thanks for watching

Thank you ❤️
I normally do three day,two night trips,and i always repacked my tent wet or not,in the same bag!
I never even thought of putting my outer in a separate bag!
You now have me thinking,can i get my gear into a 40-50 litre bag? Instead of my 65,my pack weight,without water is normally 10 kg,but now iam going rucksack shopping!
Luckily my local shop (blacks) knows me,he will have a fit when i bring my gear in to try to fit it into a smaller bag,which tbf can be done easily i think.
Thanks for the drybag tip!
A sub from me 🤙
I find that with a bigger bag you tend to end up filling it for the sake of it sometimes. I use a 44 litre osprey talon normally for all my camps but I reckon a decent 35 litre would do me for summer stuff. I made the mistake of not taking 2 separate sacks on the coast to coast and it rained most of the way so drying the tent out was a nightmare. Thanks for the sub. Hope u enjoy watching more 👍🏻
Great video mate, keeping it real 💪
What a brilliant idea mate and some great gear for the money.👍
Thank you mate. It’s amazing what you can get for the money. There’s even cheaper options out there and second hand stuff is always worth a look if it’s been looked after 👍🏻
Mate, watching you smash up those Super noodles was painful! Great video BTW! Not been out wild camping from last year, only been to sites so far. This is inspiring me to get up the Mournes for an epic hike and camp!
Nothing worse than a slippery super noodle 😂
Great video mate
Thank you 😀
Absolute class video mate. Brilliant idea and very well presented. Well done
Cheers mate. I’ll try and do it for under £200 next 😂
@@holmesaway 🤣
I bought that bag but the 35 I found it just a touch to small
Good choices. Except 25 litre backpack? 😮
I had to get something cheaper for the challenge and it was the cheapest bag I could find with hip straps. I was really impressed with it though 👍🏻
Great video. Two questions please:
How safe is that car park for staying over night?
Where can you get the Nescafé sachets, I can't seem to find multipacks anywhere
Thanks for watching. I’ve left my car there loads of times with no problems. There is a national trust car park a few hundred yards down the road if you prefer but that’s £7.50 a day unless you’re a NT member. Both are fine, the only reason I use the Storey Arms spot is because it’s the right side of the road for me to head up that side of the valley. I’m sure I got the coffee in B&M. I bought a case about 6 months ago so I’ve got about 100 of them in the cupboard 😂😂
What was the total weight of the bag
6kg with water 👍🏻
