How to Tent Camp on a Budget: Night Cat Camping Gear 

At 3 minutes there's a box you can click to save an extra £5 that you may have missed! And the blue sleeping bag was a fiver cheaper

Sorry people I get the sleeping bag temperature 🌡 wrong. AND YEP I HAD TO RECORD THE BUYING THE ITEAMS AGAIN AS I DELETED THE FIRST RECORDING. SO THE DATE IS 16TH OCTOBER

If you look at the sleeping bag it says 5C-15C so it's from 5 to 15C...admittedly the description could easily be misunderstood. Great video again Dan!

We had a tent somewhat like yours 'back in the day.' It had the same 'pin and pole' setup and a similar vent/cover system. Condensation was an issue and things got a bit frosty inside with just below-freezing temperatures. We did have sleeping bags with baffles down the zipper and around the neck. We also needed a good quality wool blanket to drape over the two of us. We could have benefitted from a blanket between us and the double air mattress we used (being a couple and all.) It all adds up to 'car camping' in the late autumn. We had too much 'stuff' to carry.

Cracking informative and honest review once again Dan thanks for sharing 👍 👏 😀

May last year I bought a 1-2 person Night cat. Single skin free standing and only requires 4 pegs on guy lines to secure and stiffen the fabric. I found it good in heavy rain and tall enough to crouch or kneel inside and plenty of room for kit for one. Downside no vestibule. Also in my ham fisted manner I tore the material inserting the poles. Go outdoors are now have an offer on the bobcat 1 for £49 and the 3 season sleeping bag Fathom EV 300 for £44. Not always cheaper on line. I like your efforts

I've got one of those airmats I agree with you Dan they need to sort out the mat thanks for a great video Dan take care 👍👏

It looks really good.Thanks for the interresting video.

Great watch as always Dan and sone really good information 👍

great review Dan, 👍 loving your vids buddy.

Great love your budget videos keep going man 👌🤘

Good tent, not overly keen on the rest! Stay safe atb 👍🦊

You sure do know your sleeping bags Dan 👍👍👍 before you knew by the comments that you had it wrong BUT you we're already saying " no way this is -15" , well done ✅ and yes that Matt was crap 🤣

Another good and honest informative review Dan, thank you. That sleeping bag never, ever even do -5, it is more like my "Tropical" ex army one. Good work.

We have slept in -15C in the Derbyshire Dales in December before now!

1st comment 😎👍 great video as always..the light is a good idea on the sleep Matt ,,I can't remember how many times I've forgot mine 😂😂. The pillow on the sleep Matt is the only bit that lets it down..be sure to let us all know what night cat say when you email them, that'll be very interesting to follow. Keep up the great work mate 🏕️😎👍

I get what you're saying with the pillow. Should have a separate inflation to the mat. However, I would turn it around and use a different pillow with it had I bought it without realising the issue. But now I know I would avoid it.

The only idea about the sleeping mats hard pillow is to sleep at the foot end and bring an inflatable pillow along with you. Depends on how tall the person is I suppose. Good video mate.

Good vid really enjoyed it as always. Don't remind me Christmas 😫

Great video

If they had said the sleeping bag was perfect for temps between 15 & 5 C they would be on the money, a sleeping bag is safety-critical equipment it's not on to overclaim performance when somebodies life could be on the line all because they took the company at its word.

That mat reminds me of the Bathroom Buddy from Gremlins.

that sleeping bag though... -15? not a chance...... +15 maybe LOL. good video mate, keep it up :)

I was debating between a Night Cat and Clostnature but I got the Clostnature, it's pretty good, not perfect. I wante dthe Night Cat because the cheapest 1 person was like $40 or something, but the reviews for clostnature were a little better. The clostnature was a 2 person (so I can fit all my stuff, 1 person was too small) and it was $120 but it was on sale for like $79. Those amazon sales and coupons really help take a chunk out of the prices. It looks like this tent is pretty similar tot eh Clostnature I got too. The overhang is similar, more narrow than it looks on the site and kinda works, but if it rains hard you need to partially close the flap or rain still gets in. Also the neon green string, mine came with that too and while I don't mind because it helps me see where my guy lines are, I did notice that color was attracting some kinds of bee to land on it and bother me, they were attracted to the neon color.

Dan, thanks once again a informative video, glad I never bought one of those air mats, I don't think my neck would last a night using that pillow. Question, have you ever tested a Bessport Praslin 3p tent. I bought a Bessport 2/3 man tent on sale at at Amazon $65.00 and have used it in 3 days of moderate to high winds, and heavy rain. It performed as good as my $300 tent. I have never seen a review of my tent, could you review some of the Bessport tents.

Hi Dan , What a crazy mat ! , its got a built in Lighthouse ! lmao .😂🙂

Could have bought various tents for the same money, yet much higher spec! Oex, vango etc... i got a brand new ROBENS Arch 2 for £112

Wot do you think of the slumit cub 2 tent? Would love a review of it.thinking of getting 1 for motorcycle camping? Cheers

Love how he filmed the computer part after he had already got the stuff delivered 😂

Can you tell me the best bag pack and tent to use some that’s not to cheap but that can be used for a few years

Camping in winter dose not cost the earth I buy my winter gear from army surplus got a down sleeping bag for 40 pound maybe in the next video consider using army surplus websites I know that the stuff they sell is not brand new but at least it's been tried and tested by the army in cold climates

Sure you not reading the temp readings wrong? Looks to me like 15°norm, comfort 10° and extreme 5° not - ( minuses) ?

Hi Dan Great video as usual. Some time on the night cat webpage it usually frequently bought gear as a package and puts a discount on it.

What power bank do you use Dan

I really struggle to trust Amazon stuff, though I do have a cheap air mat from ages ago that's still going strong

Novel idea with light on sleep mat!

Yo woodsman..can you put me onto a good head torch...do these high powered expensive head torches last long or is low powered better 😎

Tent, yes. Sleep mat, no. Sleeping bag, don't be silly. 😂😂

Great video as always dan, what happened to the £150 set up? Was interested in seeing how that vango sleeping bag performed

Mats look ok for the lighter guy but what about the heavier camper could you do some heavy weight gear lol 😅

Some of the Hello Kitty tents look okay, I wonder if you can put a patch over the cats face? Steady with the jokes lads!

Is it possible to use proper coal in a hot tent wood stove? Would it burn better for longer? It would make a great video testing that out. Its smokeless and might burn slighty cooler than a flame but would last all night long imo.

Nooo, not the Hello Kitty brand, lol.

The Oex tents look far better than that one at around the same money.

The tent is certainly a no go for me, two major strikes. Inner pitch first and fiberglass poles. I am sure it is a great tent for someone though.

good vid but in my opinion theres better gear out there for that price, i hate inner pitch first tents with a passion, the eurohike avons a better tent for a lot less money,if they still stock it

You could have saved a fiver by ordering the blue sleeping bag and then spent that on a soft pillow. You could then turn the sleeping mat around and put the hard pillow at the foot end of the tent and use your own soft pillow for your head. It would suit me as my feet & ankles swell if I walk any distance and I like to sleep with my feet raised. Even at home I have a pillow at the bottom end of the bed.

Hi mate I am looking for a bit of advice I have just bought a tent and I want to wash the inside hanging bedroom can I just put it in the washing machine it doesn’t touch the floor as the tent has a the ground sheet attached

3:05 you didn't tick the £5 off voucher 😉😢

Without sponsership, currently its hard to buy and review kit. 6 monthly channel specials mabye.

I always look at delivery fees

There was a £5 voucher on the tent.

Did you miss the £5 voucher on the tent??

DOOD!

Pretty sure that sleeping bag spec is 5 to 15, not minus 15 😅

You tested a tent on a calm summers day. Test it in a storm.

Save money for steaks and onion video s :)

Omg who wants a cats face on their tents unless its for the kids , its getting worse but good video

For all the viewers, if the tent has fiberglass poles, RUN. It is not a good tent.

Would you do like a pay sub thing my favourite channel on here and wouldn’t mind paying 2-3 quid a month

That tent is massively overpriced!! Exactly same as some £40 tents. Sleepin bag looks crap aswell...not impressed m8

That's not budget lol, that kind of money is pure frippery, ribald extravagance and fiscal obscenity haha! :-D I can no longer accept your 'budget' content as viable Marra, good day! 🤣👍
