Best Budget Gear for 2021 Backpacking! Save your MONEY!

[@rattlesnaik]

I don't even backpack or hike or even go camping on a regular basis but these videos get me more excited than anything else on KZbin.

[@basecampchris]

Thank you...it is a great sport.

[@Leon21CS]

You have definitely inspired my fiancé and I to take up backpacking. We are slowly accumulating some gear for a planned trip in August! Thank you for the great tips, reviews, and for keeping things fun! Look forward to more of your awesome videos!

[@basecampchris]

That is awesome, Leon! Yes, just be patient with the gear build up...August is a great time of year to backpack...Keep Hiking!

Ozark Trails long handle spoon. Barley an ounce, heat resistant (don't leave it in your pot!), eat with it then scrape with it. I think it was a dollar at Walmart. Thanks for a great video!

[@basecampchris]

Great price - had that as part of a review recently. called BEST Budget Backpack Gear Buys | Amazon BEST Sellers...great spoon! kzbin.info/www/bejne/baLVqZp4o5psp8k

[@kcricket39]

If you want an ultracheap, ultralight pot scraper, the flat plastic tie on bags of bread is great! I keep one in my kitchen at home.

[@basecampchris]

Thanks for the tip!

[@murrayknox7915]

Another great video Chris. Come across as such a fun, personable guy, really enjoy watching your videos. Definitely one of the best outdoor KZbinrs going. If you're even in Scotland, pints are on me!

[@basecampchris]

Awesome! Thank you Murray! I hear Scotland has some great wild backpacking!

[@murrayknox7915]

@@basecampchris yeah some outstanding trails and drives, really lucky to have it all on my doorstep!

[@krishoogstraat6866]

Chris I really enjoyed the information on the gear. But smiles and laughs with Gnomes. Lol. Added bonus. Loved the light heartedness of the video.

[@basecampchris]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@greggzel5662]

Chris- You continue to be one of my “go to” guys on any subject! Another great video, you always bring a smile to my day.

[@joanfos4890]

Taking up backpacking.

[@basecampchris]

You'll enjoy it! Great way to be out there in nature.

[@leekayne]

I use the GSI scraper as a mini spatula and a chopping surface so 3 in 1

[@basecampchris]

Good idea!

[@ktownc936]

😂 aquirred 5 of these items before I even started watching this, love when the stars align.

[@basecampchris]

Cool! BCC

[@missk4934]

Great recommendations! Love your humor and energy😆

[@basecampchris]

Thanks so much!!

[@IndianHemlock]

Great products review Chris, I like the towel idea, I usually like to take a tea towel with me when I’m camping for when I’m cooking.

[@basecampchris]

there ya go...that works!

[@thebeardedgorilla8596]

Lol excellent video! Seriously though that spatula hack was genius...

[@basecampchris]

Thanks!! .99 cents - LOL

[@Journeysofdad]

Another great video Chris!!

Thanks Chris! Another great video? Do you have the links to the products?

[@basecampchris]

Thank you...yes - updated in the description.

[@Joey_Joey_Joey]

@@basecampchris Thanks!

[@Tephomab]

The Deuce sucks, bent in half first time I tried to dig with it. Those orange plastic ones are the best, for sure! Unless you're going somewhere that has perfectly diggable, root and rock free ground, bring a real shovel. Edit: also, just use dirt and a little water to scrub your pots. It seriously works better than anything else. Wash with soap after, if you're so inclined.

[@basecampchris]

Yes - always available as well. We live on "Earth "

[@titanpreparedness]

I really love the ozark cup. Just wish it was a little smaller so it would fit in a Stanley. Great list

[@basecampchris]

I totally agree!

[@happyfuntimereviews5600]

Love the Ozark Trail cup! I’m on my 3rd one...twice now I’ve left one out after my nighttime cocoa...squirrels love cocoa BTW. They’ll chew right through the bottom of a cup to get at it. My bad. Great cup! Just not squirrel proof.

[@basecampchris]

I had the same thing happen...they chewed the bottom of the cup up! Still drinkable.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

I need a new mug as my s2s mug stinks! 🤣 that ozark one is $1.42 in Walmart but I'm in uk and it's £12.50 on amazon here!!! So about $17!!!! Rip off. 😔

[@K.F.L]

Yeah i just use the small Wildo fold a cup. Doesn't completely collapse but its sturdier and has a little handle . Costs around £3 inc p&p (i put my mini stove in it to save space in my cook set too)

[@appalachianadventures1982]

Good stuff Chris...there are a couple suggestions I can use...thanks. Jeff

[@basecampchris]

Good...Keep Hiking!

[@MegaSusanc]

You're awesome. I know I'm a year late on this one, but this video is still awesome. I love how hilarious you are. I was laughing right along with you. Thank you 😊 bunches Great videos, Sir. 🤗HUGS🤗

[@DaveOffGrid]

Great Ozark Trail find! Is it insulated or will it be too hot with boiling water in it? I still lean toward the other Amazon options because they have a lid you can put back on to keep debris from going all over the inside of your food bag. Trade off is the heavier weight than this option.

[@basecampchris]

it is thick enough to handle hot water....but you can feel warmth from it. It's a funny price $1.42 ...not a $1.49 or $1.55

[@THEBLACKANARCHIST]

Refletix is the best sleep hack

[@markmortimore7014]

Hi Chris!!!! This Is Arturo from México City. I follow you in every video. Congratulations you are just great. Can you recommend to me some SCALE to take the weight of every piece of my geare? BLESSINGS AND GREETINGS.

[@basecampchris]

I don't have a scale...but check with Amazon and see what they have...Thank you for watching!! Keep Hiking!

[@Lander_OW]

Just found a 4 seasons tent on amazone on paper it looks nice but i think you should check it out ! It is under 100$! It is called the FE active 4 seasons 2 person tent

[@basecampchris]

Very cool....great price...just uploaded a video on the REI Arete 2 Winter Tent!

[@IrfanAli-he4si]

Great video bro

[@basecampchris]

Thanks ! Keep Hiking!

[@BucksMom218]

How do you dig when the ground is frozen? 😳

[@basecampchris]

definitely harder than summer...sometimes you can't get to the ground with the snow.

[@22ndaccountduetocensorship57]

Metal shovel. Just because something is cheaper and it works, doesn't mean it doesn't have dissadvantages

[@MegaMastiffman]

Good one Chris your co-host was outstanding

[@basecampchris]

Thanks! He runs the operation here...

[@2laughandlaugh]

I just cut the handle off of a small spatula...works great and my wife still doesn't know i destroyed a spatula....
