    I used to go light minimalist, but now I don’t have as much time to get out there, so it’s all about the comfort, and a six pack, flask, and a chair

    Frugal camping

    Thanks for the Video, I love to car camp, short walk ,primitive, folding wagon. Most of my stuff is cheap. My husband and I are well past the century mark but it’s still fun to sorta rough it lol.

  6. @wanderlore8875 on December 10, 2024 at 8:07 pm

    I used your old school backpack for years, and a dollar store bag lol. In my younger years I just laid on a blanket and used pack as a pillow. Boy can’t do that anymore!
    Doing great son!

    Another great video Sam, really enjoying these!!!

    camping in your drive way or backyard if you have the option. learn what gear you need. thanks for sharing Sam!

    419 shot glass. You got a minute?

  10. @rockheadmark2673 on December 10, 2024 at 8:14 pm

    For flashlights, make sure everyone has their own and bring at least one extra. Menards is a good place to get them. Bring an extra set of batteries too.
    For utensils, go to thrift stores. They don’t have to match. You may even find a usable full tang knife.

  11. @katelee670 on December 10, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    Good tips for people that are homeless.. I’ve been that way more times than I can count.. managed to get out of it before winter.. it’s always on the back porch for me..

    How to go winter camping on the cheap, = mid week flight to Florida, stealth camp on a beach!

  13. @tag1462 on December 10, 2024 at 8:22 pm

    As far as utensils go I use chopsticks. I do have a plastic just in case.

  14. @newyorkfilharmonik110 on December 10, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    I bought High Sierra backpacks 30 years ago when I started using them. I used to hold onto them until they were just threads. They were tough.

    Enjoyed it brother! Good advice! Check me out #BIPOLAR KORNBREAD

    This was a great one. A lot of the recommendation videos talk down to the viewer. I have all my gear, probably more than I need. However, I watched this and the earlier one. Very good content!

  18. @wanderlore8875 on December 10, 2024 at 8:27 pm

    I always take a plastic trash bag folded up, a tarp folded. Everything goes in ziplock bags in the pack.

    Hey son do you remember a few years back you got caught in that bad winter storm at the caves? You had to hold the tent down with your body. Your telling of that night was pretty horrendous!

  21. @dangunn6961 on December 10, 2024 at 8:31 pm

    Great video as usual. Useful tip. Take medicine on your camping trip. One time I forgot to take my over the counter medicine and I had bad heartburn that made my trip miserable. I take Tums and Pepto Bismol and aspirin and a few first aid supplies. Aspirin can save your life. It’s not a bad idea to take aspirin a few days before and during a camping trip.

    Maybe save the booze until you’re done filming?

  25. @JMD-er5jq on December 10, 2024 at 8:33 pm

    it isn’t the water that goes off, it is the plastic bottle

  26. @lawrencefieselman3803 on December 10, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    It’s good that you did this video because newbies need to know they shouldn’t spend their retirement on backpacking gear until they determine they like it. Plus, if you look hard enough you can usually find some pretty lightweight, good gear at fairly reasonable prices. Mardingtop is a good example. Gear Doctor is another. 3F UL has very good trekking pole tents, Stanley makes a great pot and frying pan, etc. Keep up the good work.

  27. @beberle9641 on December 10, 2024 at 8:39 pm

    Thanks Sam you are one of the guys on YouTube that make me want to go camping again. Cheers happy Holidays bud.

  28. @bipolarkornbread2821 on December 10, 2024 at 8:39 pm

    🍌 Great beginner tips! Only thing I’d add is small, cheap, portable battery bank since the cold can drain phone batteries quick. 🍌

    What’s up bro

  36. @drdirtymcfly2029 on December 10, 2024 at 8:51 pm

    I winter camped in a hammock last year…. NEVER DO THAT you will be breathing hot air on your self and vigorously shivering the entire night. This year I’m gonna be sleeping on a cot with a sleeping bag two jackets long John’s thick pants wool socks and boots and spare dry clothes.

  37. @mackjenkins7721 on December 10, 2024 at 8:51 pm

    Hey buddy how’s it going. This was a good video man. It was awesome to see how you started out with the gear you used to get started with. Me & my family we do a lot of kayak camping trip doing the summer time while the kids are out of school. I hope you are doing well buddy. Thanks you for sharing this video.

  38. @gregoryfoster8179 on December 10, 2024 at 8:51 pm

    The more liquor one drinks the better this gear looks I guess..

  39. @TheUndergroundRave on December 10, 2024 at 8:51 pm

    Glad I found this. I’m going camping (on a campground) with my partner in a couple weeks and I got us the Ozark Trail 10 degree sleeping bags, the cheapest ones I could find for cold weather. I could only find one other video reviewing it! Now that I know it’s not going to be as cold out as I initially thought, I’m very confident we will be warm!

    Great budget recommendations for beginner winter campers. 😊👍

  42. @drumteacher43 on December 10, 2024 at 8:58 pm

    Looking to buy a hot tent and wood burning stove for winter camping. Any recommendations off Amazon or something similar?

  47. @kennethwilson8633 on December 10, 2024 at 9:02 pm

    And if you cut back on drinking you can afford gear even quicker. Have fun stay safe.

  48. @DarkMetaOFFICIAL on December 10, 2024 at 9:02 pm

    😂 that’s hilarious what you mentioned. i’m working on a bushcraft video right now- Stealth Camping but with the most ridiculous amount of gear i can carry and or transport. so far i have, just to lay on, a sportsmans reflective blanket, tyvek groundsheet, a kelty doublewide basecamp pad, a thermarest classic, a thick comforter, ranger mat, and sheet, and to sleep in- ecoopro synthetic 40°, both MSS sleeping bags, a bivy cover, and extra fleece blanket. oh and full size pillow of course. that’s 10% of what i’m planning to take and already past the weight of a normal full ruck lmao it will be funny and good times tho. i have a bike and trailer. last time i did half as much as this and it was 3 trips 🤣👍it took 4x as long setting up than time using the stuff. totally worth it

  49. @lostsheep664866 on December 10, 2024 at 9:02 pm

    Another great video I am planning on a hammock camping trip with one of my boys the weekend of my birthday in I can’t wait to get out there again. I am down 85lbs and hopefully 100lbs by my birthday and that how I am going to celebrate is go on a hike and over night camp.

  50. @MegaSusanc on December 10, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    Thank you for sharing this will come in handy. I want to try the sleeping pad. I never thought about doing the pillows like that. Petty cool.

    KEEP ADVENTURING
    GOD BLESS YOU
    🤗HUGS🤗
