You say that enamel bowl doesn't have handles, but it does. It has two latches that, with two sticks THROUGH the latches from opposite sides, can make very good handles indeed.Wash it and the lid very well, and keep it for the next time. Thanks for the video. Jon

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

All the mistakes you made are real life mistakes…same as I would make! Watching you make do with what you had on-hand was/is inspiring. I barked out with laughter over the water and then the tarp. YUP…I would have made the same mistakes!!

In those weather conditions l would sleep on the tarp. Though l like the concept of getting 10 or more binbags for the same price. Thanks for the ideas about cooking the beans first and then using the tins as cooking pots. (Might use the money spent on the cooking pot on cutlery instead!)

Had loads of problems with ticks on southwest scotland. Someone told me due to deers not being hunted in numbers during the pandemic theres more food for the ticks so they had a better breeding time over 2 years. Awesome video by the way love a budget camping session 😀

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.

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.

Yeah, I remember back when they first started introducing items for more than a quid. Was one of those fancy tins of Christmasy biscuits. Cost £5. £5! Thought it was a fluke, a one off for the season. Apparently they just kept introducing more and more items that cost many pounds, and sometimes half £1.50, as with your scissors. :D

Here in Spain we have the same shop, called PepCo. Pretty much the same prices. Handy for some things, like the tools, but some time ago i bought some enamel metal cups and they rusted within weeks, so you have to be strategic with what you buy. Also, it has some british food items that are not readily available here, so that's curious.
