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!
