Your Walmart is straight up playing some absolute bangers over the speakers.

[@Djshifflet]

I heard you mention yeti while in the ice chest section. As an off-roader to another off-roader just thought you should know, Yeti is known to fund companies that want to ban off-roading. Just wanted to give a heads up because your channel does reach quite a bit of people.

For a Walmart tent look at the 4 person connect tent. It connects to the side of a 10x10 ezup canopy. $40. Got one and it’s pretty nice. Could put 3 of them on one canopy

I love to see you show people your love for the beautiful state we live in. Arkansas is underrated but I guess I kinda like it that way. Makes it feel like a special pocket of the world. I want to get into overlanding and have found your videos very helpful. Thanks for all you do

[@shadowstalker130666]

Ive never understood the full tricked out rigs with roof tents and such. I mean, some gear is essential, but a lot depends on how long you'll be gone. Usually a weekend for me as i dont get much time, being a trucker. So a small 5lb propane bottle and coleman propane stove. Cooler with ice, blue cube water jug, and a tent with cot and a folding chair set me up pretty well. Got a tarm for an awning, and its luxury. Lol. Though ive always done camping, so it was mainly what do i need that i dont have somewhere. Great video!

[@thebrizzy]

I went to Walmart earlier today to buy overlanding gear. I got a tire repair kit and a big pillow because you gotta be comfy when camping.

[@PerryGage]

A great service Matt. Did not give Walmart any consideration previously. Very helpful

[@brentwallace1058]

I've got that 4 person Ozark Trail tent you looked at. Its been from Arkansas to Colorado on my Harley twice, Will easily hold a queen air mattress with extra room to spare. Perfect for 2 adults. I sprayed it with weather-proofing silicone before each trip and use the up-graded nail-style tent pegs. Just bought a '21 Tacoma TRD Off Road and thinking about getting into overlanding. Maybe see you out on the trails soon.

[@robertchinchilla06]

Awesome video! i had purchased a hammock on amazon with no bug net. Wal-marts bug net works great! I bought some hammocks there for my siblings too! Also, Wal-mart has nylon cord for camp. (string across the top of your hammock for your tarp)

[@dakotasharpe6397]

In Alaska we use 100 Deet AND a Thermacell. Our mosquitos are the state bird 🦟

[@greywolfoutdoorshomestead9962]

[@SigmaWolfOutdoors]

Blackstone 17" adventure griddle ....game changer for my cooking set up ...highly recommended ...very versatile...cook j

[@josha3049]

I know it’s not Wal Mart, but I picked up a Dewalt portable fan at Home Depot for about $100 that uses their drill batteries and that thing is as valuable as the buddy heater. Really helps during the hot Texas summers and the batteries last well over 8 hours on a good medium speed setting

[@GOE-MORC]

Awesome ideas. I hit a farm and home stores too since not everyone has an Academy Sports. Maybe hit the food section for Ramen 😉

[@dylanwins01]

the thrermacell works very well in close proximity. if your sitting at a table or around a fire it works really well.

[@MrFull4ce]

Great video! Best advise is to just get out there and do it! You likely have most of what you need at home already. You'll then know how you camp and what you need to do it better.

[@averypless]

I picked up a random nonstick pan off of amazon that has a removable handle and that has been a game changer when it comes to storage

[@JoeyRock333]

Great job as usual… I can’t believe how many things you found at Walmart. I’m going to volunteer to go shopping this week for groceries and my wife is going to faint.

[@seanpuello]

Went on a last minute camping trip and got that same 6 person tent. Shit was perfect quick easy to set up and tear down.

[@artfaschan1]

Thanks Matt, very informative. 80 years old and just getting started. Live in Arizona and love the desert trails. I am a very health 80.

😂 "I'd rather go run Pritchett Canyon again" You can find budget winches, tow ropes, and light bars over at Tractor Supply to go with all the stuff you found at Wal-Mart

My broke a$$ when and got a 8 man tent and already had a 3 man tent, set them up one inside the other, can still stand up in the bigger tent to cook or just hang out in a rain storm,etc. can also make a homemade camping stove, and it fits on top of my 95 explorer, homemade deck.

[@ericg7183]

Trauma kit - definitely go with a trauma kit. And learn how to use it. CAT tourniquets, medic shears, Stop The Bleed kits, definitely have them, and most importantly, LEARN HOW TO USE THEM. I have two IFAKs beefed up with CATs and STB items in my truck. Both my range bag and my rifle bag each have the same. And just like a gun, it's better to have it an not need it, than need it and not have it.

[@Sergio11724]

Thanks, you gave me some great ideas. Nice to see a Walmart where everything isn’t behind a cage like here in California.

[@TheNotSoOrdinaryCarGuy]

This makes Walmart look like a camping Mecca! Lol. I wish I could just buy everything in the camping isles.

[@samleeroy5638]

I dont know for in the south but my budy use to swear on thermacell in the north of Quebec for hunting and fishing. The guy happen to be a game warden. Bought one for my gf and yep it works. As long as the air arround you doesnt move to much its crazy good.

[@John_439]

One thing to keep in mind is not all walmarts are the same. The one near me suvks for outdoors equipment. The one 10 miles away sells everything guns included.

[@tis1980]

Hey Matt, in the battery section around the bottom shelf should be a yellow jump start. It plugs in to a 110 to charge itself. Once charged it can jump start a full-size battery, has 2 USB ports, a 110 plug, light and also a built in air compressor. I think it is around $100-125. For a budget, that one unit takes care of a battery charger and air compressor.

[@joshc214]

Thanks good to know 🤙🏽

[@sethgayne3616]

The struggle of re bagging that tent is real lol. But it works great for myself and my 8yr old

[@vanvredenburgh399]

Just found your channel and am really enjoying it! I agree that it's possible to get started in camping without breaking the bank and not all expensive gear is the best, but I would highly encourage one to do research to find a good tent and air mattress vs a Walmart cheapie. Saving money is pointless if the tent leaks heavily (from rain or condensation) and the mattress doesn't properly support the person on it. Waking up soaked after a bad night's sleep ruins the fun every time. Now.... back to watching more of your videos!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Totally agree! thanks!!

[@yotagang3705]

Great video! Good to know it’s not all about having the name brand gear to have a good time!!

[@S595Husky]

True, gear doesn't have to cost big bux. I've picked up some pretty legit stuff at Wally World myself.

[@StacySalmans]

So true you don't have to break the bank to have fun.

[@bigrockoverland]

The dehydrated ice cream sandwiches are our fav!

[@davidbourgeois856]

I've bought a lot of gear from Wal Mart and if you choose carefully, it's great gear! A heads-up- if you're looking for any cast iron, compare the camping isle to the pots n pans section, there's a price difference for the same size/brand (Lodge). Also, Goodwill and St. Vincent DePaul et al are wonderful resources too! I bought a 2-burner working Coleman for $7.00.

[@wahinepaddler4]

Good idea on looking at Goodwill 🙌🏾

[@caleyhall]

I enjoyed that, you have a great tone of voice for audio.. great information..

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thank you!

[@paulzarychta3201]

One thing to note about the NOCO boost packs. They do NOT give power unless they sense voltage. If your batter is flat dead it will not boost off your vehicle. Just figured this out on my wife’s truck after it sat for a week. Otherwise they are GREAT!

[@wschal3042]

You can override this polarity protection feature by holding the “!” button. Once the lights begin to illuminate in series then that protection feature is restricted and you can jump a completely dead battery. Makes the jump pack much more useful😊

[@SR3711]

“I’d rather go run pritchett canyon” that is internet gold. Subbed!

[@adamlichman1181]

My wife bought that tent a month ago to camp in because I only had a two person, and I had it up in about three minutes

[@BennyTygohome]

I read the title and my first thought, "Walmart is selling R&P gears? no way." Lol. But seriously, you can find allot of cool fun camping gear at Walmart.

[@dickinaroundoutdoors8609]

I am all for people getting out camping and not everyone has money burning a hole in their pocket. If the weather is going to be good cheap tents are just fine, but I have spent some really miserable nights in a leaking tent or one that cannot take a wind. I would say that a tent would be one place that I would spend a bit more money, not saying a high dollar tent but something like Eureka would be a nice upgrade for not a ton of money. Ditto sleeping bags. Other than that the gear looked very economical and would work just great, the stove, cookware etc will all get the job done and kudos to you pointing out that Walmart is a great resource that is often overlooked as we take our cues from Instagram (and yes KZbin). I do product reviews and price certainly is not a guarantee of quality. I do enjoy your reviews and have hit the subscribe button.

[@wegmandan]

When you got to the part about can openers? That one on the far right for $8.97. it cuts the best. And it is one handle. You just put it on top of the can. turn it. tracks onto the seam. Once you're done cutting. You just do a reverse turn and it comes off the can. Very simple.That's the best one all those other can openers. the bushing on the other opens. has a nylon bushing that wears out and then it doesn't cut into the can. Just saying, now if you go to the garage sale or swap meet or something. and you find the old school and is all metal. Grab it. And for the fire starters I use cotton balls and work in some Vaseline into the cotton balls. And I put those in a ziplock bag.

[@krasnaludek298]

That Walmart actually looks clean & organized; must be nice to have such a resource nearby. The only Walmart in my area is a “no go zone” … it’s pretty gnarly; both filthy & depressing place. I felt like I was leaving the USA whenever I used to go there. Stopped shopping there 3 years ago, because it became so bad. Anyhow, off my soap box - good stuff! 👍🏻

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Wow! Sounds awful!

[@cameliaciobanu1703]

Oh, that’s sounds awful, but Walmart has upped their online game, spares you time you got to go in store. I bought everything online, it has much more options I thought

[@jeffrylee4862]

Great idea about going to WM to put a quick camp kit together. Getting back into camping myself. WM has some great basic stuff at a budget prices.

What’s interesting about Amazon and Walmart online, is local shops sell on these sites. So when you buy there, even if it’s fulfilled by Amazon, it’s most likely a local shop somewhere. And it might even be a local shop somewhere who couldn’t survive without A and/or M. So support local shops and buy on Amazon and Walmart Online!

[@Chris-D9]

It's not most likely, it's only a local shop if it's under Amazon's Shop Small Page. Small local shops and Ecommerce aren't the same thing. A majority of Amazon is ecommerce.
