@mallyredfearn6834 Год назад

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.

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.

@saltypete3549 Год назад

@ryan3960 Год назад

I used to work in a Poudland a couple years back. It's sometimes pretty interesting...and horrifying, what you can find. I was in a smaller one but it's good to consider the seasonal stock rotation. When all the summer products come out you can even find bungie cords and other kinds of cooking pots. This is also great at showing that if you've got a pretty secure area, you don't really need all that much for a night out.

@Objective-Observer Год назад

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.

@nxxynx5039 Год назад

Shower curtain tarps is an amazing idea

@skakers1 7 месяцев назад

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!

@ChimaeraTom Год назад

not gonna lie, i think that tarp would be a half decent ground sheet to go under my 1 man tent. I'd like to see a £50-£100 Go Outdoors challenge or something. Basically buying the cheapest stuff possible from a camping shop and seeing how good it is. maybe for 48hrs instead as the gear *should* be a bit more capable and comfortable

They're fine as ground sheets. Pretty sure they used to sell them as ground sheets. They don't last long though, they get torn after a while. I've had tons of them in different colours from Poundland that I'd use for emergency back up, without taking much space. Good additional layer for most things.

@ASBO_LUTELY Год назад

I tried duct taping table cloths together to do that, they looked waterproof and perfect for the job but didn't stick together as easily as I hoped. The light wind more or less destroyed the tent I tried to make out of them so there was no way I was going to sleep in it overnight.

@outlaweduk Год назад

yea he could of swapped the tarp for bin bags,especially if he could of got the thicker bags for wheelie bins used to use binbags for ponchos

@aliasofanalias7448 Год назад

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

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.

@WoodyAndy Год назад

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

A tip you could’ve cut up that water bottle to make a spoon for food burn the ends a little to stiffen up the plastic and it works good

I have to confess to being a poundland addict. My wife knows that I can't walk past and have to go in. I have had this condition for over 20 years. 😵‍💫

Poundland has some good things in stock. Makeup brushes and makeup sponges are good for painting models, most of the lights work well and as long as you don't expect things to be perfect its a good option. The worst thing i experienced in there was the self paying tills, they talk! 🤬

Take no food or water and 5 items. Build a shelter, find and purify water, find food and process as needed. Make it 3 days 2 nights eating at least twice a day. You can highlight foraging and bushcraft shelters and maybe even alternate fire starting methods. I've done it as a 60 yrs old Grandma, , I'm sure you can do it too.😊

Two of these small tarps would be nice. One as cover, one as a ground sheet. At present,Tesco are doing 2m X 1m tarps for £1.50 or 2x £2.

Great challenge - some thoughts - cold soaking the pasta from the moment you arrived and then simply heating it in the fire might work. The cardboard inner might have been better used under your upper body as a thermal layer and the lighter packaging and/or string used as tinder.

A 2 part challenge. You build a survival kit with only things you already have at home. No buying anything extra. You have to be able to carry everything in the kit as if you are planing for a camping hike. I am sure you will put something amazing together. Then you spend a week or a 3 day weekend thriving off your kit and anything you can find. You can hunt fish and build your camp. You can have a tent as part of your kit if you have one but no RV or caravan. You have to be able to carry everything in your survival kit. Filming equipment and solar charging for filming equipment is not counted but you also can't use it as part of the survival. You only use it to film the experience.

Legend mate! See you in a couple of weeks. It'll be nice to have a beer with you again, man. X

Some kind of local flea market survival challenge would be cool to see, where everything is used and potentially vintage or antique

Excellent info. Shows what determination can do. Thanks.

String with a small stick tied on each end as a toggle. Then lower the sticks thru the bails on the pot and a larger stick to stabilize. That might have worked.

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.

I have that head lamp, it's surprisingly good. And the tin, I use mine to store my tinder for starting a fire, keeps it nice and dry

21:01 Pasta crunching like crisps 😂 continues to say “It’s not actually too bad”

@K.V.P14 Год назад

I tell you what , your shopping and reading what the items actually are skills are second to none. 😂

@K.V.P14 Год назад

Also , is there no streams nearby ? Would have been much better than using flavoured water 😂

@snowflakemelter1172 Год назад

Ive done an urban survival challenge where i took a train to a remote small town and scrounged everything to survive , pallets for a bed base, cardboard for a sleep mat, old pvc advertising banner for a tarp, tin can hobo stove, found a water tap , raid supermarket bins for out of date food, cutlery, mug and "borrowed" from resturant , soap and paper towels from washrooms, everything is out there.

The pasta spilling was a hoot!

@lkhvw2042 Год назад

I love that you made some mistakes and kept it in. Small tarp and the wrong water. Thanks for this. Love your content.

When you got the throw out and lay on the floor to test it out, all I could think of was being at an afters party and finding some piece of material to pullover yourself 😂 great video!

@gigi3242 Год назад

That was the most hilarious "survival" challenge I've ever seen. Pasta with flavored water, watching you eat one bean at a time....

@Pootz1000 Год назад

Poundland started in the west Midlands as a shop called "Steves Discount Market " in the King's Square shopping centre in West Bromwich...just thought id throw that bit of trivia in
