Everything You Need to Get Started Truck Camping! (Walmart Budget Set Up) 

Thank you for the great content. You are the only Googan left that I watch.

Pro tip for the 20 pound propane tank: put it in a milk crate. It won’t tip over and you can tie it down much easier

Has anyone else’s Walmart really cut down on the camping section? I used to find Stanley mess kits etc. Now it seems like it’s mostly Walmart-Chinese junk.

Most my overlanding/camping gear is from Walmart. Everyone always overthinks the gear but you really don’t need much!

You got the steps wrong. Step two is opening a beer according to Steve!! Great content sir!!

My parents had a Coleman stove for over forty years before It finally died and they got a new one.

Happy birthday Ben and great video I think a cheap folding saw is also essential or at least very handy that could go on that list and of course most people that love the outdoors carry a nice knife

Case of beer is absolutely essential!

That has to be the cleanest Walmart in the country , wallmart in Michigan you would of been searching the floors for those items

Great budget outdoor kit!! Would definitely dig seeing another video with your personal kit 🤘🏻🎣

I had an older brother that camped and hunted like you he had a lot , I have it to this day , he Ts got almost everything in you bought plus a couple of those old cool Colman lanterns that glowed on a wick sometimes even exploded, we had lots of adventures here in east Texas mud creek bottom.

Some good insulated leather gloves for handling hot cooking pans... Olight headlamp, MUCH brighter on high with 2500 lumens for a few minutes, 500 for 270 minutes, 120 for 18 hours, and 30 lumens for a LONG time... the really bright setting is nice if you hear a critter prowling, can zap a beam at it and the bright light will often scare them off.

You'd probably do even better at an Army/Navy Surplus Store. 🙂

I subscribed since you are a googan and doing a bunch of camping stuff. I missed out on camping all year. Hurt my back gained a bunch of weight haven't left the house much besides to go to work and the chiropractor.

get cast iron that is older and cheaper than Walmart at garage sales and thrift stores. Way better quality. Great video.

Can always count of LFG to turn a bad day around with another great video.

A couple of frozen water bottles to keep your food goods cold plus when the ice thaws you have cold refreshing water for drinking! Another good source for water is to stop by your local Safeway or whatever food store and ask for some food grade buckets with lids. Many have empty’s just waiting for trash and they’re free! Clorox wipe, water rinse, clean potable fill and closed with the lid. Fresh water for me and the dog! Buckets are usually available in 3.5 or 5 gal size. I prefer to also have 2x 5 gal shower bags filled with H2O for wash up and cleaning away from eating/sleeping area. But boon docking time I generally set one on each side of the pickup cab roof between the cab and shell to keep sunshine on them! Or, just set them on the hood! Oh, yeah, I sleep in the shell! I also always make sure to leave a map of my location with better half for those just in case times!

Love your videos lfg thanks for the inspiration and reminder to constantly live life to the fullest. Hope all is well with you and yours!

Whats up fishin freaks?

Ratchet strap, all trucks have ratchet straps to extend hammock straps.

Want to go even cheaper then hit your local goodwill store and mil surplus

Thanks for picking up our 1 Person Tableset! We hope it serves you well! Great video! Keep it up!

"Awesome budget outdoor kit! I'd love to see another video showcasing your personal gear."

I would always recommend taking something to boil or purify water. I went camping in Ontario with my kids and wife when they were young and they had a boil water notice on the pumps. They were charging almost $6 for a roughly 20 oz water. I tried the cast iron pan and yeah no good for boiling water unless you are dying. Lol Our week camping trip lasted 2 days.

Always a good video if LFG makes it! I would love to see more videos like this one.

This is perfect video for me right now! Just got a new truck and want to start camping out of it when I go hunting, since the converted shipping container we used is no longer on the property.

I am 225 lbs I use climbing accessory webbing for my hammocks, I can buy it cheap and cut it to length, with the becket hitch it is the lightest set up ever.

Would be cool to see you and Talon Sei do a collab and compare/contrast truck camping setups.

LFG, do you remember the first time you took OSG to Colorado? Do you also remember that you wished that you had a folding shovel? I personally carry a folding shovel, a camp ax and a folding buck saw.

Happy B-Day LFS!

Thanks for bringing me here Mike from Crazy Quady.

I would like to see your personal loudout for truck camping. Really interested on your Leer Locker. I'm considering a Decked drawer system but I think I would have to have taller cap to have sleeping room. Love your channel.

You forgot about a good camp knife in your opening list. If you mention it later in the video I haven't made it there yet. LOL

Damn dude…… y’all’s Walmart is packed with product. Our camping section is 85% empty. Kick ass video man!!

Would like to see a video going over your go to gear for camping without a small or large budget. Just what works best regardless of price. Thanks

Just thinking about sleeping in a hammock makes my back sore lol

LFG this is going to help me so much just become homeless after 5 years of marriage only thing I got was my truck so thx you so much and have been following the googen for years and the the tackle videos god bless you and your family my friend

I think a on a budget truck camping video would be cool don't have a budget set just one where you get everything you think you would need but it be cheaper stuff. Make it so you are fully setup apart from maybe food and water so people can get a idea of what kind of money they need to save to have a LFG approved truck camping setup

You'd rather have propane than butane anyways.🎉

asian markets for cheap butane for those stoves.

I've done a lot of hammock camping while on motorcycle trips and car camping and if you use a ground pad in the hammock or get a under quilt you can sleep in them in very cold temps!

I put a pad in my hamick to help from tacoing

Pro tip on truck camping... air bed. Boogie sure, but if space isn’t an issue and it’s not freezing out.

It’s official. This inspired me to take my son out this fall for some weekends in the woods.

Would love to see your camping setup!

Lets see your truck camping kit

I love these kind of videos in addition to the hunting and fishing content.

I'd like to see another survival challenge, but 48-72hrs catch what you can to survive

The great outdoors man 😂😂😂

You said its a two person hammock, but in the video you clearly take it out of a box labeled "one person travel hammock" weird.

Happy Birthday to your son Ben

Your wife is such a good mother... Thanks for this edit. Man just right. And it even rained and your set up worked out just right. Tested and approved by LFG..

Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear little man happy birthday to you 🎈💐🎂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Love your video 😍 Thank you .

I Love your videos!!! I learn so much about all different outdoor things. I like the fact that you were able to show us how to get started under $200. I would be interested to see the survival kit and a tour of your personal truck camping bin!!

Well done !

To upgrade a cheap hammock still on a budget, a bugnet, a sleeping pad IN the hammock and a One Tigris under quilt (amazon). Works great and i think my whole sleeping setup was around $85

Oh come on! The CORRECT way to lay in a hammock is at an angle or from the short sides. You will flatten out and you can lay in any position. Never should you really lay in it the long way.

I do hope you are planning on taking those little ones out fishing. Lol my two got there first fishing rods at 5. Just don't get too upset when you don't get to get a hook wet for the first wile. My son was my fishing buddy till he figured out girls. Daughter is my nature girl. Best memories ever. My Colman stove is at least 3 hand and from the 60s. They are bomb proof.

I got that 2 burner Coleman grill..... and I hook up my propane from house grill.... Plus u can double gas as heat if needed

Also I have some high quality camping items but I have a lot of Walmart Ozark trail items and damn good for the price!

I love this video! Keep it simply but efficient, I would just trow my rifle and hunting bag a cooler and all set!

omg....ha. love that you said the first thing you need to do is soak it in...because you are in the greatest place on earth. heck yes.

Can you find an adjustable campfire tripod grill and try some burgers or steak. They say keep it low to the fire food centered and balenced while constantly swinging or spinning

aqua quest the only tarps I use wait til they have a sale on, oh and in Canadian $ so a bonus for my friends in America.

Hi from mike A from LA CA. Did your wife kick you out of the house?. And so your covering up buy doing a camp out at the house?

One time i took a 7ft long couch in the back of truck with 8ft bed with a cap on , slept really good and had a comfy place to sit while cooking . Would have done it repeatedly but the couch belonged to a buddy of mine that i was helping move . Couch took 3 days longer to get there . Lol

Those lights are pretty good for the price…great for a backup or kids…not a fan of the hammock though…I’ve never been able to sleep in one so I’d have to sleep in the truck bed

ditch the googans. they suck. you're better than that. but...... if you're making money from that no shame.

Hell yes I think you buying some more survival gear and testing it. I would watch it

Great video. Makes me want to get a cap on the back of my truck and try it out! A follow up video is def a must!

I've used a few Ozark trail products and have never been disappointed

can you do a bass pro shops or cabelas version of this i know those arent the cheapest places for shopping in general but the quality is absolutely the greatest you can get in a store like that

Let’s see your personal truck camping kit ! 👍🏽

You forgot to mention you never want to cook where you sleep because of wildlife

You should do a video on your favorite knots.

Ozark trail also makes a propane double burner for not much.

I have 2 Ozark grates But your is newer an looks cooler than mine

Your area is beautiful! What part of Texas are you in? San Antonio here.

Great video, thanks 👍

A little bit of corn oil is always best when cooking some fish up on a cast iron!

does anyone know what cowboy bedroll LFG uses?

smoke shops will always have butane! 😂😂

Can you please make a largemouth bass scented candle?

Do they still make that leer locker ?

Another great video brother!! I’d love to see a how to on the knots used!!

“The 308 of fuel” - Lake fork guy 2023 😂💯

LFG

Never crack a cold one b4 camp is setup just me I guess 😅

Drop the hammock straps 2 ratchet straps work way better

Sittin there like a hot dog 🌭 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭 TFS ✅😃

Would love some bushcraft videos!

Let’s see your kit and and survival kit.

Brother, you always make content that peps up our day! Such a simple concept for a video but You make it so fun, interesting & entertaining. Tis why I ALWAYS use your creator code for all my purchases whenever & wherever I can. Thank you.

Walmart usually has some cheap tent stakes for $1, also you can pick up grey leather work gloves for $2. For water, empty milk jugs with home tap water is free. All great for budget camping.

I alway love to see your videos. It is great to aee you so healthy again.

What's up with the 720p uploads?

lfg love the content. Do you just shut off for full tanks or?

Another GREAT video as usual. And the older you get the more I will just pay for a room with a shower and toilet with AC. But I am now 66 years old and a retired plumber. I really do like your how to video's If you were a round 45 years ago I would have put all your great ideas to the test. Like you I was gone almost every weekend fishing or hunting Harry S.Truman Lake here in Missouri

Everyone needs a camping buddy who takes knot tying seriously. It saves dulling your knife blade.

So ur sons birthday is the 4th of September
