Aww lol
And here in 2024 it's £22.99 not much of an increase in 2 years, compared to EVERYTHING else eh??
It would be good to see a competition between either you and vegan Dan or Scott. Give yourselves a budget then do a camp off to see who gets the best value stuff. Then maybe have a vote with the viewers who think got the best stuff. Good video, always interesting to see.
I reckon I've got a few loadouts for less than £100 - sleep mat, tent, pillow, sleeping bag and backpack - that I think it would be very hard to beat.
That's a great idea Simon
Yep we are planning something mate
@@englishwoodsman great stuff, look forward to seeing it, has to be a cook off as well! Just don't have too much chilli 😁
@@englishwoodsman are we 🤣🤣
Good idea for a vid. I had a pop up once. worst thing ever the condensation was terrible not to mention getting the bugger back in the bag.
Would love to see a military surplus shop video,see what ya can get in there for a few quid.👍
Good video.
When you flinched when you popped the tent open, like you were setting off an illegal firework. I really like the idea of the budget start-up ideas Dan. Everyone has to start somewhere like you did. Nice one.
lol i agree he could of almost shouted "fire in the hole" before he jumped away from it :)
Love it Dan mate.
Tell you something, a couple of weeks ago my missus wanted to have a looksee around our local 2nd hand charity shop for some books. Whilst i was just pottered about waiting for her I noticed a few bits of camping gear in the corner. So popped over and low and behold there was unused bits like decent vango pillows for 3 quid, used berghaus rucksack for a fiver, used SIMs and couple of used 2 man gelert and coleman tents for hardly any dosh. So my advice is have a shufty around some second hand shops as they could be a goldmine if you want to chance the gear.
Dan we want to see you packing the tent away!!!!!
That stove and cookset is banging for the money, I have a similar one from odoland and I have never upgraded or replaced it
Yep I got one and use it lot the stove and pot it’s not the only one have got 4 different ones do take out a lot
Hi Dan , love the Idea of Cheap products to get People into Camping , That way it does not cost them to much if they find they don't like it .
Very true Bob 👍
@@ruebencover5795 Hi , when I started Camping many Years ago , I used Hand Down and cheap Items , only New thing I had was a Wool Blanket . Lol. 😂

Looking forward to more videos like this, as a former Venturer and Rover leader in Canada taking 15 to 17 year old into the Canadian wilderness, I have plenty of experience with budget gear over the years bought by parents. I am looking forward to seeing how this holds up, as leaders we often packed an extra tent, sleeping bag with us, sleep pad etc, as invariably we had equipment failure. We handed out a list of recommendations for equipment but this was often ignored. We then found a outfitter who made their own gear, who would lease us equipment, which definitely helped families on budgets and caused a lot less breakdowns on the trails.
Cheers Dan
Great vid Dan. Watching you put that tent up was one of the best laughs I've had for a while.
😅😅
I do like this video mate, I did a video last year with a full kit load out for £75 🤘😎
Just shows you dont have to spend a fortune to get out camping
Hi Dan,
Really enjoy this type of comparison video but was a bit surprised at the way you disregarded the sleeping bag because it came from Aldi. What I would like to see is you take the Aldi sleeping bag on a camping trip when the weather gets colder along with a second sleeping bag as a fall back in case the Aldi sleeping bag does fail miserably, this is the only way the Aldi sleeping bag will get a fair review which could help the budget camper immensely.
Great video as always, keep up the good work 👏
Great idea with the sleeping bag mate .
I think this video is a great idea and I guess you will find some hidden gems along the way, but I would only use this for backyard camping or summer camping on the hotter days and nights in the UK, wouldnt trust it at all in rain, slightly colder conditions for sure! :) keep these videos coming Dan :)
75 pounds sterling is less than we spend on one night at an inexpensive lodging. If this setup sheds wind and rain, it will serve one very well. For TWO: the double air mat and a sleeping bag that will 'mate' with another of the same. So: think 100 pounds with food for two and a bit more cutlery; etc.
Love them noodles you picked up always take a few when we go camping
Love it, i really think you should try a night out Dan using the budget gear, it would be a great video. Thank You
Good idea, Amazon, Go outdoor, Decathlon, Tesco & Asda to name a few might worth a look for future videos. FB market place & Ebay for used 2nd hand bargain items, the amount of tents on market place is quite varied at the moment.
this kind of vid is so valuable, thers cheap but doable and cheap but with caveats, and cheap and a waste of money. so being able to see reviews like this make a huge difference to peoples fun.
Looking forward to seeing it in use, especially putting that tent away. I reckon you should do one where you just go online, search by cheapest and get tent, doss bag, etc. Pop out in the Autumn with Vegan next to you in a hot tent and deck chair so if your gear shits it, you can ask nicely to bunk up with him.
The first camping trip I had, out in the wilds with a friend, was 40 years ago. Everything I had was second-hand - other folk's cast-offs and loans. I dread to think how much I have spent on all sorts of gear since then.
This is the cheapest of obsessions, or one of the most expensive.
I once walked St. Cuthbert's Way with nowt but an army bivi bag, head net, a Karrimor foam mat and a nylon sleeping bag from God knows where. Wild-camped throughout the trip. My brother took me to Melrose in his car; I walked to Lindisfarne; hitched to Alnwick and got the bus to Newcastle and home. Experience = priceless. Cost = buttons.
I am going to New Zealand in October, for 6 months. It will be a tad more expensive. ;)
Brought a head torch exactly the same years ago to load and unload the trailer at Crufts! The red feature was great so we didn’t blind each other, still got it today. Looking forward to the camp in the tent, two layer for that price will be interesting. Stay safe atb 👍🦊
I guess the pop up tents are like a flysheet, anything touching inside will cause a leak for sure. Fun part getting the bugger back in the bag lol
Brilliant review Dan useful kit I can't wait for you to use it and see how it holds up 👍
That cooking set from amazon is an incredible deal for £10. Prob not the best of equipment but for a tenner you can't complain at all!!!
Bought an Aldi head torch 4 years ago and it is still going strong and it goes abroad with me halfway round the world .
The head torch is brilliant for the kids. Cheap and easy to replace if lost. Great for beavers cubs and scouts as a little head torch. I brought 15 of them for my cubs years ago and alot of them still have them as explorers.
Thank you for getting back to me Dan cheers Tony
I look forward to the review once you've used this gear. Great video
Great video loved the principle I’ve seen that tent at Aldi l love the way it pops up I would have liked to see how it repacks ifs it’s meant for a second use
Thumbs up for shopping on Amazon you are keeping me employed :)
Very enjoyable video. Nice one ☝️
Very good video. I love the budget gear. Thanks and stay safe.
nice one dan
Really enjoyed that 👍👍
Nice vlog Dan.Given mad food/energy and inflation your doing the right thing showing us what's affordable. There's a mega Aldi opening soon just 7 miles away & can't wait! Keep up the good work.
yes please do more of these videos thank you 😊
This video is great for people like myself, for the simple reason, I have no camping gear at all and there has been many occasions where I've ended up bewildered on Amazon/ebay etc not knowing what I'm doing! At least I now know, I can pop to my local Aldi and grab relatively cheap equipment and try camping. That stove is fantastic and is definitely something to consider for the price I feel. I look forward to the upcoming adventures with this setup 👍
Just saw this video and subbed. Very awesome content and helpful for beginners looking to get into camping without breaking the bank
I have just uploaded the video now caveman of me camping in the setup
Cracking vid m8, good idea as well
You did a great job with getting everything for only £75 look forward to seeing more of your blogs john Sheffield
Good that this cheap pop-up tent has a fly/bug mesh - many cheapos I've seen don't.
As said in other comments, needs testing in some wind and rain!
Yes, please do another!
Excellent idea for a vid, especially for those who want to go wild camping and on a budget. 😎
Liked this vid ,well done
Ive not done these budget camps in order but personally im loving them hope you bring this back every year or 2 when shops update there inventory
Wow good hall for 75 bucks have fun camping with it. Stay safe.
Sounds like that stove is wasting more gas than it can actually burn on the higher setting. Another great video. I actually looked at all this stuff myself yesterday just out of interest. The mat is quite bulky and the sleeping bag is also bulky and heavy, and I'd never buy a single skin tent, but good enough for kids on a warm dry night in the back garden
I think these kind of videos are what you do best. A lot of people make videos about gear and you only find out at the end you need to sell your house to afford it. I trust your honesty.
Yes mate brilliant you keep this camping channel fresh 👍
GREAT video you always look out for the people.money is hard for people today and you will get many people camping.its good to see you well...good wishes from the USA....your the best dude!
The other Aldi tent is 39.99 reduced from 49.99. it comes in the proper olive green also as well as the blue you picked up in the video. It looks just like an OEX fox 2 the exact same style , weight is lighter alloy poles and pegs. I'd say that would have been a much better bet that looks like a proper double skin tent with good specs. It maybe better to go a bit higher in price of all the gear not a huge amount but say 100-150... I reckon you could cobble together a good set up for summer and spring camping out of that . The sleeping bag looked good too for the money and the mat. I have inspected then in Aldi myself. I'd have those on the list, just the other tent is a way better proper tent for not much more. I think that tent and a rucksack and just the Mat, stove set and sleeping bag would be a great budget kit for not much over 100 quid. That's only the price of a night in a budget hotel these days !
Love the idea dan
Excellent work keep em coming 👏 .....make the videos you enjoy making your enthusiasm for doing what you love is great to watch
Used the stove and pots on about four trips out now, like it, thumb 👍 up so far,
Yes get out there and give camping a try. Start with budget gear and if you like the experience then purchase better gear as you can afford it. Always shop the sales I’ve snagged some custom gear on sale
Got that exact same cookset/stove and it's a cracker. Add a Lixada frying pan and you're laughing. Great idea to do budget intro vids like this. Thanks.
I really like this video idea! I'd love to see more like this
Yeah this is great brother, and thankyou! Very entertaining and educational and you didn’t need to do it. I for one massively appreciate it
Awesome video. I laughed when you said, let’s unzip this and see what happens…..Cheers 🍺, take care and stay frosty 🇨🇦🫡🇬🇧
I've been looking forward to this video, big thumbs up, I'd not have got the pop up tent.
I use that stove and pot set for fishing, wicked bit of kit
Good enough for a summer camp.
great idea.. keep them coming.. I think the best (funniest?) vid, would be you getting that tent back in the back ;-)
Those Adventure ridge self inflating mats are great for the money i got 2 last year and they are great 👍 great vid
Will be interesting to see your overnight review, the stove looked awesome for the price
I'm camping in the tent as we speak. Had some heavy rain and it held up well. Could be a bit taller but it does the job
Great vidio Dan 👍👍👍
Great video, something different
Maybe try buying kit from ex-army surplus shops/ car boot markets
Some real bargains, cheap gear that is high quality
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've bought quite a few bits and bobs for camping from Aldi. So far so good, although to be honest, we only started camping properly last August. Most of the things we bought to get started were from Go Outdoors. Can't wait to go again, as circumstances this year prevented us from going.
You can buy instant pop up tents from ebay for £50. They have the umbrella action and are actually quite decent.
Water resistant, rather than waterproof, but very good for woodland camping when you have the canopies of the trees to help.
They hold double airbed easily and room for a small table as a bedside table. Also room for a toddlers potty or a bucket and lid. Just saying 😌. Maybe do a video on those as well.
Loving the videos by the way.
Very good video Dan. I have one of those little stoves and it's very powerful for it's size and good for the price, I haven't found that mine gets through too much gas but then I do not have it full blast as it's quite a noisy bugger. Hopefully this will encourage some 'potential' wild campers to test the waters without having to pay for for expensive kit - good old Aldi comes up trumps again. Shame you didn't video your attempt at getting the tent back into the bag as that would have been comedy gold 😃
Ha ha great vid dan was expecting most of the kit to be oex 🤣🤣 only kidding , like the thaught u put into it makes a change
I had a little stove similar to that when I went to Glastonbury , Needed coffee to get me going in the morning and I wasn't paying £4 a cup at the stands !
Not a bad little video just show’s you needn’t go over the top to get started. All the best Cheers BK
Yes keep the equipment videos coming they are brilliant especially for the new starters start off cheap you can always upgrade if you like camping get out there and enjoy. All the best Cheers BK
I went with my family for our first ever camping trip . We wanted it cheap also and bought a euro hike 4 man tent and a euro hike 2 man pop up tent. (£25)The only thing I did was waterproof the tent with fabsil . I got a solid fuel stove for £1.50 and a air mat for £12.99 plus some mess tins for £8 the sleeping bag cost £10 an was a range of 5c to 25c and it got us through the two nights just fine.
Putting down the pop up tent is a royal pain tho. The tent how ever can only hold two 51cm air mats not two single air beds or a double.
How effective was the fabsil? I have a Blacks Octane 2 which I've had for 16 years now that really needs waterproofing. I don't know what to do, spend money on waterproof sprays (I assume I'll need a lot) or buy a brand new tent
@@TimelordUK the fabsil I got came in a tin 1ltr and you paint it on with a brush, I’ve heard the spray versions aren’t anywhere near as effective. I got fabsil gold it doesn’t have a UV blocker buy have 5x the silicone for waterproofing so opted for that and did 2 coats leaving 6 hrs apart to dry. Or do on different days but your tent mustn’t get damp or wet while it’s drying. Let it totally dry is a must!!! I only had a slight drizzle on my trip for a short while and the water just beaded and ran off and it was fine. I’m going away end of next week again so if it rains I’ll let you know.
I chose fabsil because of the positive reviews and I believe it works.
I’ve tried other waterproofing brands and they weren’t worth 2 pence tbh .
From what I’ve seen so far fabsil has been a positive but I’ll let you know.
@@TimelordUK my fabsil cost £10 for 1 ltr off Amazon
@@letzvisit1661 thank you so much
@@TimelordUK no problem, like I said I’ll reply with any updates if it rains.
If you don’t fancy buying a tent I’d say try reproofing or speaking to the manufacturer about how much they charge to re proof it but fabsil seems to be the cheapest way so far.
My experience of nixwax wasn’t very good so that’s one I wouldn’t recommend personally.
I was the 870th like hahaha... Awesome video man 😎, loved the challenge 👍
Yes do this again mate great vid
I have just uploaded a video with me using this setup mate
@@englishwoodsman yes mate we’ll have a look now
Can’t find that stove for £10 lol
Be good to see what the mat and sleeping bag is like for summer camping, bargain for that price and they always go on offer :)
Love these kind of videos please do more
Buying used I've got some quality setups for less than £80 - which includes tent (a good tent), backpack (a good one as you can pick up used bags for next to nothing), sleeping bag (I've got 1, 2, 3 and 4 season bags for under £30 each), sleep mat and pillow. You'd be amazed at some of the tents I've picked up for £25 and under, I've even got a solid tent for £10 recently.
That’s a cool video mate! Nowt wrong with keeping it budget friendly! Especially in summer when the kit is less tested! Enjoyed watching again brother nice one 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Great video as always Dan
Pop up's are horrible to try to sleep in (condensation, no matter what the weather outside, the inside gets soaking). Decathlon now do a double pop up. Two pop up's one inside the other (2 seconds 2. A tight fit for two men, but spacious for 1 with gear. 4 bicycle panniers, a handlebar pack and a guitar and sleeping space). Good tent, solves the condensation problem, is easy to set up, but can be a bit of a pain packing away, there's a particular technique to it, but once mastered!!! Cost £65. And it's better than Vango's and Coleman's, both makes which I've had before. Good tents, but comparatively expensive and both a pain to both pitch and pack up. Sleeping bags? Better two cheap than one big, bulky, all weather, which are usually pretty expensive anyway. Two cheap, ones with one inside the other works better and is lighter and less bulky. And if it gets really cold, pad the space between with scrunched balls of newspaper, works brilliantly. Camping mat? Foam? Forget it. A self inflating type from Halfords costs less than £15. £75 pound budget? A bit thin. But £100, doable with good...ish gear that works. Otherwise expect some uncomfortable nights, even in moderate weather. Stoves? Nah, too much bulk, too much weight, cost of fuel (propane type) and not really very practical in real terms. Multifuel types are expensive and weigh a ton and you try buying half a litre of unleaded for it at a petrol station. They won't do it. £100 will get you what you need and stuff that is practical and will stand up to the rigours. Cheapskate it, you're asking for trouble. But don't buy big names or gimmicky/flash either, they're just a gyp. For people with more money than sense. Here speaks the voice of experience (I've cycled from London this year, headed for Aberdeen, cycle route N1, then I'll cross east to west and come back down the west of Britain then back to London....maybe. I'm currently wild camped at Berwick on Tweed, listening to the pitter patter of the rain on my tent......but I'm cosy and dry, having got here from Bamburugh Castle, where I wild camped on the beach for two days, found a good spot and set up before the rain set in).
👍👍👍 Well worth a go.
If you (the prospective camper) doesn't enjoy it, the kids and / or their pals certainly will .. even for backyard sleepovers. It may just 'ignite that spark', or at the very least, keep them occupied and 'off the streets' 😊.
My daughter, from a young age, enjoyed sleeping outside our bedroom window, in a canvas 'scout tent' .. accompanied of course, by the family dogs .. a pit bull and a jack russel. Now, at age 36, she and her guy still go out regularly on weekend car camps up the South African Western Cape West Coast.
Thanks for sharing .. am looking forward to more.
Take care ..
This is a good video u should do more of these sort of videos
I am planning a home bargains one next ALI
absolutely love this kind of video, please do more!!!!
You missed out on the two styles of sleeping bags. Mummy styles. One is super lightweight.
The air mat after it rises you can blow extra air into it.
I think they’re excellent quality for the price.
Great video Dan good to see what you can get say for a kid starting out thar Don't cost the earth 👍 😀
Not bad value that! What about a video of what you can get second hand on Facebook Marketplace for under a £100 for gear for a family of 4? Now there's a challenge!
Hiya mate....good video as always. Like you say and I can vouch for, you have to start somewhere. Just get out and try it and this idea is perfect, bang on mate. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Quality video mate 👍
Awsome Dan I has this conversation with my son the other day and bet it could be done for less than 100
I ues one of them mats I like it.
Good camping video
Very good mate!
Hi saw this video, and thought it was great 👍 also the pop up tent is great for people like myself that have mobility issues, and can't put up a tent but can still enjoy camping stay safe always ❤ 🙏 👍 💯 🦿 great video
Yes these type of vids are always a good watch. and perfect for music festival season.... cheers (maybe put festival in ur titles if u do it again at budget gear level maybe before glasto happens next year...but the aldi gear is seaonal/offer stuff so maybe do a amazon/aliexpress version too. ATB
👍
Bang on mate 👏 👌
