I would just advise to join a couple of different gear sites and start trolling them on the regular. Someone is always offering something at a discount.
@@RoyceKitts I think this is good advice. I’ve bought a lot of gear from outlet sites and flash sale sites.
Add some yarn/string for the potential holes in sawyer bag and nebulizer/oxygen tubing to make a gravity filter.
I would probably buy almost everything at Decathlon
Would highly recommend River country products 2 person 2.8 lbs $50-$64. Great double wall tent that is lightweight and works. Does require 2 trekking poles.
"all proceeds benefit a good cause...which is me"
hahaha I'm gonna have to use that one
Haha. Could you tell I had a hard time bringing myself to say it?
Love the focus on budget-friendly options. The outdoors should be accessible to everyone regardless budget. Great work!
Thanks. I agree. I’ve been wanting to a video like this for awhile. Glad I was finally able to make it happen. Now I’ll see if I can make it more comfortable and keep the weight and price down. Thanks for watching
100% . I've been doing it in a cheap Chinese 90L faux-tac pack off eBay, & the 7lb 3-man tent + 3.5lb synth sleeping bag I already had - & copping _so much shit_ for it. I am super-poor - like, regular-foodbank-client poor - & it is remarkable just how many ppl seem to think that "just waiting to save up for something better" , "thinking about what [I] really want & making sacrifices" & "buying secondhand" will magically do an end-run around the fact that I can't even afford to have friends over for a home-cooked dinner on my birthday.
My Trekology pillow was my biggest splurge, & my Powerlix hex-cell pad (which I use over a yoga-mat I already owned) was a gift.
Hell, I don't even _have_ a filter yet; I just limit my trips to ones short enough for me to carry enough water, with some puri-tabs for emergencies, & friends have promised me a Sawyer Squeeze (original, as the Mini reviews aren't great) group-present for Xmas.
Like, if _I_ personally waited until after I could afford to equip well, it would delay my getting to actually participate in the hobby by whole-ass years, which is why I refuse to allow the relative, unexamined privilege of the most vocal + involved backpackers on forums & such to be _my_ barrier to entry.
Hence I really, really appreciate just how much thought you put into producing budget-conscious content - I mean, this stuff is still out of _my_ reach, rn, but most viewers won't be quite as deep down struggle street as me, & giving them more attainable options than the ones most hiking YTers publicise is a worthy endeavour.
Thanks for acknowledging that we don't all have high-end budgets.
At $115 and 4.75lbs, the Hyke & Byke Yosemite 2P tent is a good middle ground between the Kelty and the Naturehike in terms of weight and price. I got that tent as a Christmas present a few years back and it's served me really well.
I’ve heard of Hyke & Byke but I’m not familiar with their stuff. I’ll check them out. Thank you.
Don’t forget TP and a trowel!
Mora knife. You cannot go wrong with it: for the price they cost you get an amazing tool. I own mora 2000 and it works for cutting, wood chopping without any problems
It's not the number of subscribers, it's the quality of the subscribers you do have.
Always keep an eye out for sales as well. I've picked up multiple different sleeping pads for around $35, a daypack for $17, a summer sleeping bag for $16, synthetic jacket for $25, hammock for $22, silnylon tarp for $35, etc.
Lots of bargains out there to be hunted 😅
Great tip. Thanks
This channel is about to blow up. Fantastic content. Thank you for this budget options list.
This was a cool one. Love you making the backcountry accessible for those just starting out.
When I was doing some tent research I was surprised how often the Cloud Up 2 came up in best Of lists - never even heard of it. I'll watch your review!
This is the content we want! Great stuff.
All solid info.
I have a few thoughts, most of which would add to the total, but if a person has some wiggle room and resourcefulness, these are some options I've found in my experience.
As mentioned in the vid, a lot depends on the nature of your hikes. For example, if you only hike on days when the night temps won't fall below 50, you don't need to worry about the R-value of your pad. You could probably even get a much lighter sleeping bag, but there's something that just doesn't seem right about buying a bag with anything other than about a 25-degree survival rating on it.
TENT: I have the Kelty Salida 2. I believe it's discontinued but still out there on the market, as well as the tent that replaced it. Both are about 4.5# and $125, depending on where you're looking. I humped that tent up Mount Whitney over multiple days in late September a few years ago.
SLEEP SYSTEM: Pad: You can go to an REI and grab a normally $100 inflatable pad with a 3+ R-value for about $18 from the garage sale merch, then buy a $5 repair kit and you're G2G. But if buying new, there's the Klymit Static V Short for $50, new. Just know that the R-value is lower. It isn't long enough for your feet, but you'll likely find that you really don't need the pad for your feet. It's mostly to keep the upper body comfortable. Bag: I didn't even know the Cosmic 20 came in synthetic. But I have the Marmot Trestles Elite Eco 20. Again, it's discontinued but is easy to find for about $125. It's about a half pound lighter than the synthetic Cosmic 20. Also, if you're a fat bastard or broad in the shoulders, a lot of these mummy bags just aren't going to fit comfortably. Know that you WILL have to pay for extra shoulder room, whether it be in price, weight or both.
PACK: I won't even compare my Atmos 65 that I bought right out of the gate to a budget pack. It would be unfair. But I couldn't even find a site that tells you how heavy that first budget pack is, which is kind of suspicious. I would say that Deuter packs are a solid brand at a decent price and some size or other is always on clearance. I only have a 42L one so I can't comment too much on them at greater sizes. I WOULD say that they often are missing one or two features that seem small, but that you like. Have a checklist before buying a Deuter.
COOKING: My BRS stove crapped out after 2 minutes. I seem to be the outlier, but once bitten ... Anyway, I decided then to pay the extra $30 for the MSR PR2. It's still very light weight and offers a better platform for your cookpot. An unbranded titanium version of the cookopot in the vid can be had on AlliExpress for $20, max, so there's some savings for you if you don't need it right away. For a utensil, forget the long-handled titanium spoons/sporks that may or may not have a finish that grates on your teeth. Get the humangear GoBites Duo ($8, max.). It's a two-piecer that snaps together tightly to form a utensil longer than the long-handled sporks and plenty strong enough to stir a Ramen bomb. Plus, you get a real fork.
WATER: Again, this depends on your hikes. The Sawyer Mini is okay if you're not processing too much water over an afternoon hike, or if you're doing it constantly throughout the day. If you're out for days and want to do multiple litres every night/morning, you will become quickly frustrated with it's stingy pee stream flow, which was alluded to in the vid. They tried to fix that with the Micro, but clogging issues had it reviewed pretty much out of existence. I recommend the regular Sawyer Squeeze. It's about $10 more and a few oz. heavier, but you'll be able to process water much more quickly. You may even be able to find an online seller that sells the filter only, without having you pay for bags, etc. There could be savings there. Tablets aren't that expensive, but you will have to keep buying them and there's a waiting period after you add them to when you can drink your water (usually about the 20 minutes mentioned) and there can sometimes be a little dance you have to play with how much you tighten bottle caps, etc. With filters, you can drink right away.
Take care!
I appreciate your approach of only recommending gear you have direct experience with. Thank you.
I love my Toaks, but another solid budget option that is big enough to cook in is the venerable Stanco Grease Pot. 3.5oz or the IMUSA mug with a foil lid.
Yo, I was absolutely BUMPING that intro song!
It's "Chains - by: Deraj"
My wife and I have been avid campers (tent because we prefer it that way in the wilderness) so we know how tents can get expensive quickly. I started out backpacking with a $20 walmart 2 person tent. Though I don't recommend them, it did serve the purpose and I honestly never had a problem with it. I did carry a small tarp as I always expected it to leak. Poles and stakes got swapped for much lighter ones and it could be considered ultralight. My wife hadn't ever backpacked before but after realizing how much she loved the outdoors on our camping trips she wanted to try it. We got an amazing deal last year on a zpacks duplex tent. $300 and it had been used once. I jumped on it immediately. Our gear is slowly coming together and getting lighter piece by piece. I'm currently rocking a North Face 55 litre pack which was surprisingly just a little over 100 bucks and I love it. She has a 40 litre version of the one you recommended in this video and it's been great! We have the same sleeping pads you have in this video but we just added 2 inflatable ones (can't remember which name off hand) we still take the others to put under the inflatables. Much more comfortable. We basically plan to buy things assuming we will be hiking together which is great for splitting gear and weight. But also with the intent of me carrying when I go by myself. We both use and love the Sawyer mini. It is slower than some but very reliable as long as you keep it from freezing and pack extra o-rings. Love how they screw right onto the smart water bottles! No need for the bag.
And I rambling. Great video and I really like the shirt! Going to see if the wife wants one also and maybe order 2 of them.
Great post my friend. Super happy to have found your channel. Stay safe, free, happy and healthy.
Solid episode my man -i currently really like my LIGHT SPEED sleeping mat -
The Kelty redwing is a pretty solid pack for just under $100 if you get the previous year model
I forgot about the redwing! I’ve used it before. It’s a real good pack. Solid option. Thanks for reminding me. This could have easily become a Kelty load out video 🤣
Love this channel and working my way backwards! Don’t forget the 10 essentials in these intro to backpacking videos (adds to price and weight) and if my math is correct, we missed 7 of them!
very interesting. i love the effort. your videos are always well done. keep em coming.. try doing a video on home made backpacking meals🤙 yabadaba doo
Not a bad starting point at all. For tents, I know and hike with many happy hikers that rock the lanshan 2. I used the cosmic down for many years…solid bag. BRS toaks combo, yep, perfect! For water, I use Aquamira Drops.
Thanks
Backpack recommendation - Walmart outdoor products arrowhead 8. It's a 47 liter pack that weighs just 2 lbs and only costs $32. I have used it for over 2 years now and taken it on about 7 different trips, mostly weekends but the longest being a four day trip. It's not perfect, but for $32 it's great!
For seating. I would recommend the REI trail stool, or something similar. Less than $20 when on sale.
Nice list. Right when you mentioned the weight of that tent I said out loud "Dang." Then you said "I know." Now I'm totally cool with how much my Stormbreaker 2 tent weighs.
I have a Stormbreak 3 that I split up with kids carrying parts. I switched to a Luxe Minipeak with a plastic sheet for a ground cloth. Went from almost 6 lbs to 2lbs. Ebay- was used once
Very helpful 👍
Not a bad list Steven! It's definitely not a complete list but has some of the bigger items that could get one started. Crazy, I just dropped my complete list this past week! Timing is crazy! The Backpacking Podcast listeners are going to go wild for your Gonex suggestion, hahaha. I'd def say this list is geared more towards those folks not sure if they're going to like backpacking. I'd also recommend an air pad over the closed cell foam. Trazon has a $30 pad with close to 4" of loft at around 27ozs, but is uninsulated.
AHH here's the video I asked you about in your newest video :)
I blew that budget straight away by getting a water bottle that claims to purify water with inbuilt UV-C. Haven't gotten any exotic diseases form rivers yet so I assume it's relatively safe to use out in the wilderness.
Great shirt btw!
I have the Tanglewood 2, mainly just didn't want to spend a ton of money on a tent before I was sure I wanted to commit to more expensive gear. I love the thing but I haven't been able to find the video you mentioned about how to knock two pounds off the total weight.
Great video and I love the compression you are getting with the long lens on the shots of you when you're talking. I think that gear looks great. The only thing I would bump up is a decent insulated sleep pad so you can get a good night's sleep and a small pillow. I know there are cheap things you can do like fill a stuff sack with clothes, but, I would compromise on the tent before I compromised on the items that will make getting a good night's sleep possible or possible for me. It is so important to get a good night's sleep and be comfortable so I would go with a cheap inflatable pillow.
As as a side-sleeper with a long neck & wide shoulders, getting an actual pillow to support my spine was mission-critical. I have the Trekology Aluft 2.0, & it's fabulous; good support, ergonomic shape, weighs nothing & packs smaller than a Coke can. I just put my ditty bag under it to raise it up by the extra inch I personally need.
Dude, where’s my shirt?! Great video for someone starting out. Gear costs are the toughest part of starting out in backpacking. I wish I would have seen a video like this 10 years ago.
The Petzl Tika headlamp is my favorite cheap headlamp. $20, works great with rechargeable AAA cells, very sturdy, water resistant, 3 brightness levels, turns on at lowest brightness first and you can bump it up brighter when you need. It does lack a strobe mode, but I consider that a positive: it means no chance of getting into flashing mode when turning it off.
You can certainly get cheaper but my experience with cheaper lights is they break, lack brightness, lack water resistance, are heavier, or are more confusing to use (too many modes)
For me a good sleep is worth the price of a mattress. I've been very happy with my klymit and it's pretty cheap. It's a little narrow but it's workable. But I'm a big guy, the width might not be a problem for someone smaller
I have a Klymit insulated V I picked up on sale but have never used it. And for the price I think there are better air mattress’s with an equivalent R value. But I could see the regular static v being a real good option. Thanks for watching
Don't forget to check your local retailers for sales and clearance items , also military surplus stores
Thanks so much for this info. My fully packed backpack was stolen a few weeks ago. I’m finally over the anger (at the thief and myself), frustration, and dispare and I’m ready to rebuild my set. This video is just what I need right now. Take care.
Oh my! I’m so sorry to hear this! Stolen on trail or where? I’m glad you found this helpful. Thanks for watching!
@@MyLifeOutdoors That’s why I’m mad at myself… I left the garage door open 🤦🏽♀️
Sorry, maybe a homeless person took it and are putting it to use. I went into a supermarket to get something. My tent and sleeping bag were stolen off my bike. I hadn't tipped to door person, so I figure a tip was taken. In Sweden there are begging gangs, they put women at the doors and there are men that "supervise " them.
@@lindatisue733 oh thank you for putting this in perspective for me. I have a warm home with plenty to eat, and people who love me. If someone else needs my stuff then they are welcome to it. Happy Holidays.💕
Omgosh, a 6 lb. tent?! 🫨
My first thought was, that shirt would be cool if only it was in some kind of ploy blend I would actually want to wear backpacking. I checked the site anyway and.... well done, thanks for offering that option! :)
No problem. Glad you like it.
There are a lot of things we all can do to try to lower the price of the gear. You can try to find used gear people are selling cheap. You can get the cheapest gear for sell and hope it will work. You can look at the discount section of returned items. You can rent the gear you are missing if you don't mind using them. You can even go to your local story and see if they have a good membership option you can take advantage with.
With me I used the last option. There is a local place next to me that is a bit small but has what I am looking for. For 20 dollars a year you get 15 percent off each item. When I bought my gear I did saved hundreds of dollars with that discount. All I am saying is, there is more than one way to get cheap gear than finding the lowest price tag.
The deuter aircontact is a amazing backpack. It can take a beating and will last you a lifetime.
I don’t know about instead, but recommend a light for sure
For sure. I talk about headlamps under misc.
What ever happened to the follow up video of the tent loosing two pounds?
Kelly Cosmic 20 down bag is 75% down and 25% polyester now I just got one. They don’t pack as small and the weight is more now. Still a great bag I think but all I have to compare it with is Army bags and cheap old Walmart and Coleman bags from car camping and prior service. Just think you should check something out if you recommend it. Keep up the great videos stay safe on your outings and have fun.
I hear that! I am recommending the FULL synthetic cosmic in this video because it’s cheaper. And I hope I was clear that I have only used a previous older version. With that being clear, my experience with Kelty in general, and knowing the published stats on the cosmic 20. I feel comfortable recommending the product. This list was mostly about price over weight and bulk anyway. Thanks for watching!
Where is your video talking about the Kelty tangle wood and how you can possibly make it lighter?
The cook set you listed is really hard to beat for the weight, but a quality upgrade could be the Soto Amicus Cookset Combo, which is listed for $45 on the REI website - the same price as the BRS and Toaks set.
That’s a good deal! I’ve seen that before but did not think of it for this list. Thanks for the reminder!
Most of the retailers have holiday sales. Marmot has pretty good sales a few times a year.
If you are trying to get a cheap pocket knife I recommend opinel knives. Really good quality Wooden handle 2.5” knife
Thanks I will check it out!
I would make sure to add a poop towel and spoon.
6lbs 7oz!.....😳😱🤯 my hips, my knees, my back, and my plantar fasciitis just winced. Lol🤣
I know I know! My big 4 weigh less combined. But something has to give in a budget list. And I seriously think I can shave some serious weight off this tent. I’m going to do a review with modifications. 4-5 pound tent is not that uncommon and for the price. Well it’s worth it to somebody.
Love the videos keep making them we all have to start somewhere. This information will help people get into the outdoors. I started with the REI backpacking bundle. Tent, air pad, sleeping bag, all for $300! My pack was a Kelty Zyro58.
@@bewhiskeredjuarez6851 thanks! And I’m enjoying your comments. Thanks for watching and engaging the channel
@@MyLifeOutdoors can you supply a link to the tent weight shaving video?
I would use the Paria arches 2p or the Paria rice 2p for my tent
I think those are good options. I just don’t have any direct experience with them. I’m interested though. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion
Great video! I would go aluminum pot and use the savings for a better sleeping pad. There are some COMFORTABLE pads at the $40 mark, but you'd have to go inflatable. I have a close cell foam, but the comfort is just not great compared to a 4 inch thick inflatable.
Don't have enough subs to offer merch??? That's a freaking awesome shirt even if you have zero subs! 🤣
I thought about your video on budget sleeping pads when making this video. I just don’t have any experience with them.
I do think the shirt is cool! I just don’t expect anyone to buy one🤣
@@MyLifeOutdoors I appreciate you only sticking to gear you have experience with (or brands you know you can trust). Means your recommendation and/or discussion actually has some merit to it! And the foam pads are bomb proof!
Of course I set this AFTER I sunk like $700+ into gear for my first trip
I’d bring both the MyLifeOutdoors t-shirts!!!! But that’s for another video.
Really, I’d bring the better pack. That’s where I’ve always seen people have the most discomfort or what gets them to quit. I mean, if you can’t carry your gear comfortably, your not gonna do it. Get a good pack that fits! I’ve had mine for about 20 years. That makes it cost about $25 a year. Pretty cost effective if you ask me!
I can’t agree more on the pack. That’s the real problem with a budget list. If you are going to do this for awhile your gear is an investment.
I would like to see a better sleep system, because if I'm carrying a pack full of gear all day and have to the next day I'm going to want a good night's rest.
It's not dutor it's pronounced more like doiter.
Happy to say anything in your comment section.
Love your content and being jealous of your Beard.
Thanks for the good work.
Late to the party but for anyone who doesn't like the idea of drinking bleach, I hate to tell you but you're almost certainly already doing it. Most municipal tap water is made potable by the addition of chlorine after filtration. It's a cheap way of ensuring clean water for a city or town, much cheaper than non-chemical means of processing large amounts of water. The down side of course is that you can taste and smell it, and it'll definitely change the taste of food that you prepare using it.
Rain tarp?
also ive always been curious about hammock camping? i know theyve really uped their game. what are your thoughts?
maybe a video about alternative camping.
Tarps are a great option, but I wouldn’t recommend them for the inexperienced. I’m a side sleeper so I’ve never gotten into hammock camping. But who knows maybe there is a video there.
@@MyLifeOutdoors i’m a side sleeper at home, but when I get in my hammock, i sleep great on my back
Who doesn't like the idea of drinking bleach? (JUST KIDDING). Sierra Trading and REI Used gear definitely my go-to. Also, you definitely have enough subs for merch! Never too early to brand!
I’ve never bought used, but have bought a lot of outlet gear. Thank you for the encouragement. Now if only I can sell some t-shirts 🤔
No video yet on how to cut 2 lbs on that tent yet...
EXCELLENT video. I remember going into backpacking my first time and feeling incredibly overwhelmed. If I meet someone who hasn't gone backpacking before, this video will be my go-to recommendation.
Video idea- how about another one for moderate backpackers, and another for avid backpackers. And one other idea, an amenity backpacking video- your favorite comfort items for shorter hikes or some young energetic hiker who might not care AS much about the weight. Thoughts?
Thanks! I was excited about this video. I’ve been wanting to do a $300ish load out but honestly the tent was preventing me from getting to that price range. When I found this Kelty it put it all together. I’ve used Kelty products for years and trust their stuff.
Can you elaborate more on what you mean by moderate and avid? Are you talking price or weight or something else? And yeah I think I could do an amenity video. I’ll start thinking about it.
@@MyLifeOutdoors Yes, price and weight. Obviously as you get more into it, you become willing to spend more money for better gear. I am obviously NOT avid, so moderate and avid might be the same stuff, but just thought this might be a good video idea: "So you're ready to upgrade your gear... Here are my recommendations to take your gear to the next level. What I would upgrade first, and the different price point options." I don't know, just a thought.
I'm a bit curious on the pot: Why does it costs 30 dolars if it is so small?
I think because it’s titanium. It’s super lightweight.
Factory blemished and refurbished can make a big dent in your budget, too.
The Therm-a-rest Z-lite Pad is just closed cell foam. I could be wrong but I don't see any way it's better than other brand similar pads, that are like half the price.
You are probably right. I just don’t have any of those to compare. Thanks for watching!
I have a Z-lite with silvered top (just as in the video), a Z-lite without silvered top, and several normal closed-cell foams pads in 1/4" and 3/8". For warmth, the Z-lite with silvered top is noticeably warmer, followed by the 3/8" foam, followed by the Z-lite without silvered top, followed by the 1/4" foam. For comfort the Z-lites are both better than the flat foam pads.
So there is a difference, and I prefer the silver-top Z-lite whenever I carry a non-inflatable pad, which is whenever I expect thorny or rocky ground. Otherwise I carry an inflatable insulated pad, which is both warmer and more comfortable, but fragile and expensive
Micropur Water Purification Tablets Extra Strength:
Safely destroys bacteria
Contains chlorine 10 dollars = 50 tablets
Just paid $315 for my quilt 😬
$315 US or Canadian? if its US thats about 500/600 canadian
I use that cheap Walmart cup that you wouldn't recommend, and I'm very okay with it.
Any suggestions for a women's backpack?
I need a sleep pad that can handle my side-sleeping, wide-hips-having, narrow-waisted, bony-shouldered body.
that pot is tiny, it's just big enough for my coffee. If all you are doing is boiling water for your ready-made hiker meals, it no longer is budget, they cost a bundle.
I think you have a point. There are other affordable pots with a little more size out there that would be easy to substitute. I just don’t have direct experience with those so it’s hard to recommend them.
And you can get ready made meals cheap if you are willing to buy in bulk (which I know isn’t always feasible) Sam’s club sells Mountain House in bulk for about $4 a meal (that’s $2 per person) and Readywise has a bulk bucket that is about a $1.00 a meal.
okay steve get ready i'm shoving $315 into my computers disc drive. hand it all over
If i spend only so low amount of money my hasslers would be disappointet
WAIT a minute! Did you just say 1litre of water. I've never heard an American use the metric system.
LOL! Boo! did I scare you? Only with water do I use the metric system. And I couldn't even tell you why. lol. Thanks for watching.
@@MyLifeOutdoors it’s easier for smaller quantities of liquid to use the metric system I think
Soda/pop is sold in 2 liter bottles in the US. So we're slowly getting forced into it kicking and screaming along the way
