Good one

[@mallyredfearn6834]

Not cheating at all using the firebowl. So, found it interesting. Hope you don't mind me giving my take on it..cooking the beans first would have given you another cooking pot. Duct tape a bottle lid to a stick would have given you a small spoon. The biggest thing, I think buying a roll of black bin bags was the thing most needed. Duct tape a couple to your tarp to make it bigger. Fill a couple with dry leaves and tape them shut. Keep the bugs inside lol.. Makes a good browse bag. This type of challenge, bin bags and Duct tape should be default items. Waterproof clothing by the way too.

[@rcfokker1630]

You can make a fair waterproof Gilet with a decent bin-bag. And, a waterproof kilt, too.

[@matt.willoughby]

You should do a challenge where you have 5 minutes inside your house to grab everything unprepared, simulating an emergency situation, and you have to survive for 24 hours with just what you grabbed. That seems like a good challenge.

[@chrisj683]

Unless there’s a packed bugout bag, then he’d have time to grab that and some food out of the fridge, leading to a very comfortable camp.

Too easy for anyone with a bug-out bag, but I like it. :P

Challenge? Grab some water, go out, walk around for 24 hours. You'll be a bit tired, but that's about it. (Unless you're in terrible weather, like just around freezing rain).

These challenges are interesting because you show different ways to solve basic camping problems. Most of us will have better items of equipment at home. So much can just be borrowed from our Mum's kitchen drawers. So many of us already have put together starter kits that will function well for many years. My TAKEAWAY: read the labels carefully. Buy pure water and the right size tarp. Take a 'right sized' pot and lid from home.

​@@TAOutdoors Great video...

[@Objective-Observer]

The Tarp, most bushcrafters ignore the Shower Curtain section for their tarp. At one point the Dollar Trees [US] carried a heavy weight shower curtain that is 5 feet by 6 feet... a decent sized tarp. You could have used the duct tape, to make your tarp a little larger, as well. The little 'toggles' that closed your pot, I would have run a stick through them to make a handle for the pot. Or, the string could have been used as a handle, but not the best. I would also have made a simple sheath for the scissors with the duct tape. Another fun episode, thanks for attempting it. ANOTHER FAVORITE CHALLENGE IN THE US, IS TO GO TO A THRIFT SHOP/RESALE SHOP TO FIND YOUR CAMPING GEAR.

[@nxxynx5039]

Shower curtain tarps is an amazing idea

[@skakers1]

I thought he could've wrapped a couple fingers in duct tape and lifted the pot off, supported with scissors. Definitely could have utilized more string there. Would have liked to have seen him open the can of beans... (with the scissors??)

[@funkyprepper]

Realy liked this trip out. Ive had similar cock ups with wet fires too. Its awesome that you left it in the video too. Says a lot for your character especially with the large following you have. Done well considering the flavoured water too. Top marks Mike 👌🏻

[@elliotspencer2648]

Brilliant video!, as someone who works for poundland and whom is also interested in off grid living I found this to be a absolutely fascinating video!!, thank you!! 😁👍👍

[@TAOutdoors]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Davefacestation]

With a small tarp, I think it would have been much easier to find a fallen log to use as one side of the shelter and make it more of a low profile bivy set-up.

[@Tipulatedone]

As a suggestion you could have filled the bag with leaves for a pillow. Dug a very shallow dakots hole (with sticks only) to make a permanent over night fire (plus using bigger logs over the hole you can place the camping tin on top to boil) We did this in the middle of Wales in January! Apart from that good job!

[@kevinwoolsey1659]

Overnights in the woods whether on the cheap, a pallet wood cabin, or another bush shelter are where you shine! Keep this type of content coming! Cheers from Wisconsin in the USA.

[@Wastelander2281]

When I can't go camping I like to spend the night in the conservatory on the couch with the door open and put an 8 hour storm video on youtube. Does help to stop the itch if I can't actually get out there.

[@ryan3960]

I used to work in a Poudland a couple years back. It's sometimes pretty interesting...and horrifying, what you can find. I was in a smaller one but it's good to consider the seasonal stock rotation. When all the summer products come out you can even find bungie cords and other kinds of cooking pots. This is also great at showing that if you've got a pretty secure area, you don't really need all that much for a night out.

"Tonight on TA Outddors! Watch Mike continue his journey on his path to inevitably become his father as he reminisces about the glory days of Poundland!" Obviously, kidding. Loving the content as always.

Also, happy Father's Day to you and the old man.

[@Pootz1000]

Poundland started in the west Midlands as a shop called "Steves Discount Market " in the King's Square shopping centre in West Bromwich...just thought id throw that bit of trivia in

[@rockonwink]

For those who want to try a survival challenge like this one and would like to avoid any accidental spills/burns when cooking/boiling 1st solution, dig a hole, place your fire bowl in the hole, light fire, place green sticks (green sticks dont burn that fast) across hole, like a grate. Tie string across pot loops/latches then you can put pot of water upon grate for cooking. Place 2 sticks or 1 half of Y branch between string and pot, for easy lifting once water is at a boil or use sticks for side handles. 2nd solution, have a tri pod set up over fire to boil water. Either one shall work and would prevent tip over problems or burns. Good job.

[@lkhvw2042]

That fire bowl thing is really cool. And a safety first attitude definitely doesn't take away from the video or challenge. 12:00

[@customfreak81]

as soon as i saw the tarp i was wondering if you had clocked the size! I've bought a few of those poundland tarps but i mainly use them for lining the boot of the car or to throw on wet grass to give somewhere dry to sit or put gear to keep it off the wet ground.

[@alloriginalpirates]

I was thinking the whole time you were talking about the water 'well yeah it would be a bit cloying and annoying but flavoured water for 24 hours is OK'. Then I remembered the pasta just as you brought it into shot. 😂

[@saltypete3549]

After the first 24h, I wonder what you would need to do to survive another 24 hours to make 48, then another 48, etc. It might be like an interesting look at progression from survival to comfort.

I wonder if it were such a disaster that I was alone in the countryside only equipped for 24 / 48 hours what would the plan be for the rest of my life and, more importantly would it be worth the bother?

[@tardismole]

Gah. I went into Poundland last tuesday to do exactly this, and got very few of these items. Luck of the draw, I think. Amazing headlamp. I'm blinking the dots from my eyes. It would be very helpful if you could do a sensibly-priced 72hour challenge. Without cheating. LOL

[@itatane]

Hey Mike, a fun little video. Next time, grab some children's crayons with paper wrappers. They make an excellent candle and firestarter. Oh, and 5 people here groaned when you tried to pick up the pot. A couple long sticks with a hook carved into the ends would have made a good handle for the pot. A smart gent by the name of Pullen showed me that years ago.

[@skakers1]

I thought about wrapping fingers with duct tape to remove the pot... supported with scissors.

[@incredibleflameboy]

I got one of those headlamps from Poundland and to be fair they're pretty good. Poundland is still a place where you either get amazing value or pure junk.

[@stephencopps1561]

This is your best to date for me, though I have not been watching much of your films in recent months, I've often thought of homeless people and how and where they or we can survive with very limited means. Also many of us have selected and purchased an item in haste without looking at it properly?😂Nice to see a practical, experienced man like you being the same as the rest of us! Thank you Mike👍

[@silke5057]

Tip for a tarpaulin equivalent, check out shower curtains. Great video, this special water is so me. 😅

[@WoodyAndy]

Fairplay Mike - people survive like this all the time on even slender budgets (if any). I guess the difference is that you have done it by choice, but still, respect for actually doing it and putting theory into practice and maybe giving people ideas for low cost solutions. In practical terms, you could have used the cardboard and carrier bag as insulation under your fleece and the plastic packaging as a really effective firelighter but a great practical breakdown of the kit. In terms of ideas, maybe try and do this for longer term with the same kit...? All the best, Andy

[@timmyfingaz100]

One good thing about poundland is the torches lol. I converted one small but really bright torch with a small rechargeable lipo out of a vape, that i can now charge during the day with a solar panel!

[@matthewsullivan6199]

I wonder if you could visit a town with lots of charity shops and see if you can source stuff for another 24 hr challenge?

[@stippolyte]

My two points would be - 1 make a list of essentials and don't forget it. 2 don't rush your shopping trip 😉. Looking forward to your next challenge, as someone else said Charity shop, Wilko or B&M. You could limit spend to your or your dads age. ps could you have filled the shopping bag full of leaves as a pillow? don't think ticks going to get through that plastic.

Mike your folding fire pit is actually a steamer. Normally you would put in a pot, add water below metal level , put veggies or rice on top close lid and heat to steam.😊

I had so much fun putting it together and he said it was one of the best gifts he has received. He still uses bits out of it still and it’s been 5 years. Thanks for reminding me of that 😊

[@ChimaeraTom]

not gonna lie, i think that tarp would be a half decent ground sheet to go under my 1 man tent. I'd like to see a £50-£100 Go Outdoors challenge or something. Basically buying the cheapest stuff possible from a camping shop and seeing how good it is. maybe for 48hrs instead as the gear *should* be a bit more capable and comfortable

They're fine as ground sheets. Pretty sure they used to sell them as ground sheets. They don't last long though, they get torn after a while. I've had tons of them in different colours from Poundland that I'd use for emergency back up, without taking much space. Good additional layer for most things.

[@ASBO_LUTELY]

I tried duct taping table cloths together to do that, they looked waterproof and perfect for the job but didn't stick together as easily as I hoped. The light wind more or less destroyed the tent I tried to make out of them so there was no way I was going to sleep in it overnight.

[@outlaweduk]

yea he could of swapped the tarp for bin bags,especially if he could of got the thicker bags for wheelie bins used to use binbags for ponchos

[@aliasofanalias7448]

Honestly I can just see bin bags being a pain, they have an annoying clingy material, you could easily rip them on a stick putting them on the floor, deadfall would tear right through them onto you, plus if it rained you would get no sleep because of the noise. I'd rather have 3 tarps than 50 bin bags. You could also make a simple bushcraft bed with branches and debris. The poncho idea is good tho. I have a poncho that can also be used as an emergency 2x3 tarp or a groundsheet

[@rhythmrida]

Bin bags are more stress than they’re worth. Cardboard and newspaper is cheap if not free and does the same thing better

the pot is great, i use mine as a bowl for making porridge in, its a great container and pot, did some test boilings in and after about 8 full boils the enamel was coming off, but a leatherman or universal pot grabber works great to lift it, and the lid does help boil time. for pound makes a good survival kit tin that can boil much better than altoids or tobacco tin. But that torch! awesome

[@mammyrambles2197]

Great challenge - some thoughts - cold soaking the pasta from the moment you arrived and then simply heating it in the fire might work. The cardboard inner might have been better used under your upper body as a thermal layer and the lighter packaging and/or string used as tinder.

Your frustration at the stickers made me laugh, think thats me every time - get annoyed there's a sticker on there, try and remove it, it goes wrong and regret! 😂 Why did I even do that?!

[@richardsierakowski1623]

Excellent info. Shows what determination can do. Thanks.

This was such a fun video. Thanks!

I have that head lamp, it's surprisingly good. And the tin, I use mine to store my tinder for starting a fire, keeps it nice and dry

[@johnoshea628]

Hi Great video. The little pot you bought, I git one drilled a hole in the lid for a char cloth tin, the clips are now on my Zebra Billy can as handle locks.

Poundland items are awesome compared to Dollar Store items. I think your content is great. I like that a hardened outdoors person, and a person with a nominal outdoor skill benifit from watching them. I have seen skills that i have used my whole life, and new ones. I really enjoy the pallet cabin, and building also. Fire bowl is awesome..also will leave less trace..great idea. Thank you. Stay safe out there.

This was a fun video! It's a good thing you weren't planning on coffee for breakfast 😉 That raspberry-flavored water would have made it interesting. I'll be looking for your next challenge.

I'd like to see what you consider the least expensive setup to do a reasonably comfortable camping weekend (or 24 hours). Obviously, you need a bigger tarp (or a cheap tent), something more comfortable than a blanket (such as a cheap inflatable air mattress used for a beach) etc.

[@robertwillis4061]

Two of these small tarps would be nice. One as cover, one as a ground sheet. At present,Tesco are doing 2m X 1m tarps for £1.50 or 2x £2.

I love that you made some mistakes and kept it in. Small tarp and the wrong water. Thanks for this. Love your content.

[@1964DAVODAVO]

Love the video because you do the things i would do like buy fruity water , and it still turns out fine , cant wait for the next one

Here, if you buy the Poundland snake bite kit and get bitten it keeps you alive for 25 minutes instead of 20 minutes.

[@danaowen9014]

It was a joy watching you having fun camping.

[@franksmith8994]

[@ashfaqjuna]

I am not into camping at all but found this really interesting. Thank you for sharing
