BUDGET WILD CAMPING SETUP for Beginners!

Check out the full gear list 👉 www.gooutdoors...
Here’s a run through my budget wild camping gear list for 2023. It includes a 2 man tent, inflatable sleeping mat, sleeping bag, rucksack, and a complete stove set.
I’ll also show you an option to reduce the overall cost by £25, and a couple of luxury extras you might want to add in that take the full set up to £170.
This is a budget setup designed for those looking to get into wild camping without spending a fortune. Though it is perfectly suitable for getting started, there are some items you may want to swap out or upgrade as you get more into the hobby.
Any questions drop me a comment!
Thanks for watching! Ben 🤓

For a cheaper foil mat, look at the anti-ice mats for car windows.

[@chrisbardell]

Helpful and informative vid. Alternative to cooking gear is a Thermos food flask, approx £17 for the 480ml one. Experimented against the clock with temp probe, and it keeps something like made-up noodles nice and hot for about 5 hours. Preheat it with boiling water for a few minutes first. Built in folding spoon inside the lid, good bit of kit. Thanks for this helpful content.

[@IvanDP1967]

One small omission...... maybe a light source of some sort (Though I expect most folk will have a torch lying around the house)

[@tonysutton6559]

It depends how much light that you want, your phone will do if it's only for emergencies (There's also a light on my powerbank) but you can buy and light plus batteries for the grand total of £2 from the £1 Shop if you want more. As it is, I always have a cheap torch in my car, overnight toiletry bag and in my bedside cabinet for emergencies. There's another in my wet weather dog walking coat pocket (for cleaning up after them in winter, not because I'm scared of the dark - honest) and probably some more in that kitchen drawer where people shove things that they might need sometime.😂

[@andycjohnston]

This is great, good starting point for people who are a bit shy of the costs. It would be great to see part 2..then 3, where you take the same spreadsheet and upgrade each piece and see what things look like. It's good to focus on the "doing" rather than the "buying". Good luck with the subs.

[@scrum5atk1]

Aldi and lidl do reflective windscreen covers that are big enough to use under a pad/mat and are about a fiver

[@theozzy4717]

The Range do a foil backed camping mat for about £2.50. It's thin but I use it under a closed cell folding mat for a bit of extra insulation.

[@theozzy4717]

I do believe the way forward is to buy decent kit but second hand. Often people buy tents etc, use them once and decide it's not a good fit. I'd much rather do that than buy 'budget' gear. The better stuff will also resell if you decide its not for you.

[@Dug_Out]

Good vid👍Nothing wrong with a Eurohike tent for a bit of basic wildcamping. I've got an old one that I still use to this day. As with most hobbies & pastimes, wildcamping/hiking etc can get silly in terms of costs. No need to break the bank, especially when starting out

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Exactly. I still love budget gear after doing it for a few years 🤓

[@benhikescamps]

EXCELLENT video showing that wild camping is accessible for most people - with some careful spending. Don’t need top brands when starting at all. Also good advice Ben about taking sandwiches with you for the first one. Then don’t need to even think about cooking. Another thought to add to that is to bring a flask of hot water and just make up a hot drink on arrival when settling in to surroundings. Top vid sir. Thanks - Ben (might sub)…👊🏼🤓

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Cheers Boss. ‘Thanks for watching’. Yours truly, Ben #1 🤓

[@MrJww1984]

good to see some budget friendly stuff. i watch a lot of wild camp vids and see gear i like but then you click on the link and its 700 for a tent or 250 for a sleeping pad.

[@AdventureswithJeffandMeeka]

Very good info. You might have added a water bottle option. Thank you for sharing.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

I’ve recommended a pop bottle to get started 😉

[@willjohnson1273]

Just a hint something waterproof to line the pack, like a rubble sack.

[@garrymartin6474]

I like the Tamar 2 a lot but the pegs didn't inspire confidence, so I replaced mine with some some sturdier ones .

[@garysmith7286]

I would add a head torch and first aid kit, then down that rabbit hole we go.....😂

[@craigrobertson4994]

Nice 1 Ben useful and informative as usual mate

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Thanks 👍

[@fion1flatout]

Totally agree about the cooking. I use wild camping as a means to get around by bike. I'd recommend getting food at the nearest pub, charge your phone and get a bit of local Goss before the wild bit.

[@villiondo]

Just a heads up in case you haven't seen, Aldi are having their equivalent to the helinox chair in tomorrow, £15, got to be worth a look.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Ooh I’ll see if o can grab one. Thanks! 👍

[@villiondo]

@@DaleyOutdoors no problem, I ordered one online to make sure I could get one, but that means paying delivery too!

[@bushcraftoz2]

I have 4 of the Aldi chairs. They are great

[@Pat10Ireland]

Great video, very to the point, and brilliant suggestions!

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Cheers Patrick 👍

[@colinremmer2417]

Thanks for the video Ben. I started by getting my gear from Ali Express. Granted, I had to wait a while for delivery but it's a great way to get the stuff you need together without spending a fortune. That way, if I decided that wild camping or hammocking wasn't for me, I wouldn't have lost a lot

[@rowdy6743]

Really useful thanks. I'm putting together cheap set-ups for my kids as they've shown an interest in coming out with me. Some good ideas there. Fancier stuff for me of course!

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Haha glad it was useful mate 👍

[@connorclarke1544]

Just finished the Cleveland Way with similar gear. Walked Saturday - Saturday with Nepal 65 pack, Aldi adventuridge tent, same mat but different brand and a boundless voyage titanium cook set. Was heavier than would have liked but manageable over distance.

[@markliddle5628]

thank you good stuff for people like me to have a look at

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Glad it was useful Mark 👍

[@h.bsfaithfulservant4136]

Have you ever done a car camp Ben? I know it lacks the kudos, but it’s a good option for clapped out old fogies like me who just can’t get comfortable on a sleep mat! I look forward to a random episode of ‘Daley Indoors’ 😁

[@tonysutton6559]

If you're skipping the cooking it's cheaper to make your own sandwiches (or get your wife/girlfriend to make them) and replace the cookset and stove with a flask of tea or coffee so that you still get a hot drink at night and a warm one in the morning.

[@TheMercian01]

Really useful video. If folk don't want to cook yhey could take a small flask with hot water. I have my budget kit ready but waiting for my spots to dry out a little

[@mhpupacios]

Great list

[@arcticradio]

Yes! Great (cheap) video you don’t have to break the bank to go outdoors. I substituted sleeping bags with army ones to save cost. Carinthia made bags at a fraction of the cost.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Cheers Matt 👍

[@trevormegson7583]

Don't go anywhere without a Sit Mat You'll find out why if you do.

[@marktaylor6266]

Goes to show you don’t need a Hilliberg, Osprey or Thermarest to start out. It’s a journey, yeah I started budget and have worked my way up. You gotta decide it’s for you first, cos it’s not for everyone!! Great breakdown of gear, thanks for sharing 👍

Wonder anyone will follow what I did for my first wild camp? 31 October just off the summit of Pendle Hill by the wall. Four or five of us - A Level students so aged17/18 - with sleeping bags in our college bags, a bit of plastic to sleep on, and a bit of plastic with some pegs to provide shelter. No rain so we didn't need to overhead plastic sheet but it was a bit chilly. We all survived to be told off by the ranger in Barley car park the following morning.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

I hope not 😆

New subscriber outstanding video. Cheers.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Cheers Chris 👍

[@alexdachs9884]

Be very careful with a sleeping mat with no R value - prioritise this in your budget and sacrifice it elsewhere if need be 👍🏻 as you say adding a insulated foil mat to the inflatable is a quick and cheap way to stay comfy in single figures, gives you something to sit around on too

[@combatsportsontour6503]

Hi mate could you use this for a hike to Majorca? What would you change in this set up? Just subscribed love the channel and insight!

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Not really sure how to answer that…. So ‘no’.

[@katotato]

You can get tents for as cheap as 12-20 pound I wouldn't say a £55 tent is cheap or basic plus a lot cheaper (and safer) to get a swig stove saves on gas ect

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Thanks for commenting. Can you share some links or names of the tents you’d recommend? Would be useful for others 👍

[@marksadventures3889]

Just the man, Have you checked out Temu yet? I just got about £40+ of gear for under £20. Arrived to day - I put a video up.

[@bonysminiatures3123]

do you also need to put a tarp on the ground and place the tent on top just to protect the tent ??

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Depends where you’re camping really. For most tents you can get a footprint (or they come with one). I usually just double check the ground for anything sharp then pitch straight on it.
