I attempt to survive 24 hours with camping gear I bought on Wish. Is there anything good on wish.com?? Well We've got 24hours to find out!
》What gear was actually good and what gear just plain sucked?
》Gear Reviews
》The Survival Kit:
A few things weren't bad but overall I wouldn't recommend it
》The Tent:
Maybe for kids, but I wouldn't actually recommend it
》The Sleeping bag:
It wasn't the worst but I don't know that I would rely on it. Unfolding it and using it as a blanket wouldn't be bag though.
》The Stove kit:
The bowls weren't all that great but the stove and the pot were decent, but the plastic needs to go.
》The Headlight:
Works great but the charge doesn't really last very long.
》The flashlight:
Actually like it but it's not nearly what it claimed, maybe 200 lumens?
》The Fire Starter:
Works great, recommend
》Balaclava:
Thin, meh

Let me know what place you want me to do next. Walmart? Harbor Freight? Also remember to leave a comment (not in this thread) to be entered for a patch.

Harbor freight would be cool !!

@OXFOOT Год назад

@@crypticmedia8656 yeah I think that’s what I might do

Yeah yeah it made me really appreciate the stuff I have that’s actually good.

@HotRod-wv4vm Год назад

In my younger days I remember buying a 2 man orange tent that was more like a 3 man tent at a store in NYC called Hermans Sporting Goods. Unfortunately they are no longer in business. Used it for back packing, hunting. Paid $59 bucks held up pretty good.

@OXFOOT Год назад

Yeah I feel like especially in the last like 10 years camping gear has gone up exponentially. I’m sure my dad would say the same about all his camping gear but even 15 years ago I bought decent camping stuff for like $50-$100 and since then I can’t even get a hammock for $50 anymore.

@Benson4A52 Год назад

Hey, enjoyed the vid. Always down for a, "here's the cheapest stuff" one to help me justify my own setup. Donating the tent to a kids group or labeling it a kids tent and donating it is better than throwing it. It might last a few more nights. The rest of the stuff you don't want to keep can also be given away or recycled. Interested to see what good stuff you found on Wish. I think it'd be cool if you tried a "thrift shop camping" or a "used camping gear" video. The entire setup wouldn't need to be bought from the same location too! Could even just highlight some great deals you found and use your rig for actual camping. Thoughts?

@OXFOOT Год назад

I’ve had bad luck with buying things second hand when it comes to overland gear lol. A lot of my pants I’ve gotten at thrift shops and I still have a lot of stuff that I’ve gotten second hand in the past but I’ve bought like 3 big items used and they’ve all turned out terrible. That being said I’d love to talk to someone who has a lot of used gear and maybe get their perspective. My wheels, sliders and the whole truck itself I’ve bought used and had decent luck with that.

@Benson4A52 Год назад

@@OXFOOT fair point. I bought one used fancy tarp for camping and almost never bring it, lol. My sliders, coilovers, rack, tonneau, and I'm sure something else is all used but I guess when it comes to gear for camping, I just wait for discounts and buy new.

@noaherou23 Год назад

Great video bud! I love this idea!

@OXFOOT Год назад

Thanks! I think I’ll try it with harbor freight or Walmart next video in this series.

@jacobpatterson5250 Год назад

@OXFOOT Год назад

Hopefully the next one I do does a bit better than this. I spent like $170 and it’s one of the lower viewed videos I have lol.

@jacobpatterson5250 Год назад

@@OXFOOT I absolutely love the budget overland gear series. It’s very informative and always gives me something else to add to my setup! Really looking forward to the next solo survival video!

@coloradomallcrawlers Год назад

I’d next do Walmart… I’ve often had to get stuff exclusively at Walmart when I was living out of my camper last year. There were no other store options so making Walmart work was a challenge, but a more realistic challenge to something an overlander may have to do. Thanks for taking one for the team!

@OXFOOT Год назад

Yeah Walmart is more common. I’ve had “wish overland” written in my ideas board since like 2020 so I had to do it with this one. I actually have a lot of gear from walmart and I’m sure a lot of people have at least one thing from there.

@collinwall5169 Год назад

Very cool video idea, fun and does contain some useful information too

@OXFOOT Год назад

Yeah hoping the next one is going to be a little more useful with some decent gear and not just watching me suffer.

Gotta say, after that rough night, looked like you were enjoying the hell outta that camp chair! Thanks for taking all of us down a little bit of memory lane✌️

@OXFOOT Год назад

It was for sure a rough night. I’ve never had that hard of a night with perfect weather like that. The few times I’ve had worse nights was extreme downpour.

@springrusty Год назад

That tent reminds me of the tent I used on my motorcycle trip in northern Michigan when I was 21. It was a tight fit! But still one of my favorite trips.

@OXFOOT Год назад

Yeah I used to use a Walmart kids tent when I had my Honda rebel and used to camp in the Appalachian mountains. It was tight but I made it work.

@Libr8r Год назад

It would hep if you held the knife still and pulled the rod back. This helps direct the spark on to your nest. Also make a grass nest to start with feather sticks.

@OXFOOT Год назад

Yeah me not getting a fire started was pretty much 100% user error. I watched videos on it before I went but this was my first time trying it really. Thanks for the advice!

@@OXFOOT Yeah, RU-vid is fickle, haha. I just think the idea seems fun and I'm a gear hoarder so I love the idea of buying a bunch of gear, lol.

@KHudd Год назад

When starting a fire, I found it more effective to place the hand with the knife on my foot and pull the Ferrocerium Rod towards you. This way I don't hit the wood/fire starter and send it flying.

@OXFOOT Год назад

This is my first time doing it like this so I have no clue if I’m doing it right. I’ll have to try it the way you say. Makes more sense.

@christopherrizzo Год назад

99million lumens, you just ordered a light saber on Wish

Awesome video I think I’m gonna try one as well with wish gear

@OXFOOT Год назад

Yeah I’d go with a different tent for sure but that stove is pretty decent.

@pnwrving9841 Год назад

I definitely enjoyed this, it was unique in the fact that no one has done a video buying gear from Wish. Glad to see that you were keeping something out of all the trouble you went through. I would donate the stuff to Goodwill.

@OXFOOT Год назад

Yeah I feel like woah isn’t a huge power house of a company. Maybe I’ll give this style video another chance with Walmart or harbor freight because this one didn’t do so well and I spent a lot of money on it lol.

@OXFOOT Год назад

Probably going to donate though. Probably the best bet.

@mikestephens8321 Год назад

Man. That was painful to watch! On the other side, some people aren’t as fortunate to own good stuff. I’ll be honest, I was that person awhile ago. I just wanted to be outside…things are now different and I have now made space for a patch in my rig.

@OXFOOT Год назад

Most of my knowledge on the outdoors came from when I was a broke college kid and a $50 tent was like 8 hours of work for me. And good luck on the giveaway. Not too many comments so far so the odds are pretty high.

@christophermark5970 Год назад

@@OXFOOT same! I was lucky enough to get an old tent as a hand me down…it hand cigarette burns and was absolute crap. But it was free and allowed me to get out there.

@Krzyqbn Год назад

Hope you got more sleep at home, looked like a rough night but thanks for doing this to show that quality counts!

@joshc214 Год назад

Definitely need to do a harbor freight since they have an off-road/overlanding section now. 👍🏽 However, a Walmart one is inevitable since there’s a handful of those on YT with a $100 budget. Maybe do a recreational overlanding/camping video? Like fishing, group games/solo entertainment (not that kind gents…😂) shooting/archery, etc. As far as what to do with like the tent & sleeping bag donating is your best bet or give it away to someone who might be able to get even the smallest amount of use out of it. Even tho it’s junk having some barrier between the elements & something warmer than cardboard boxes/newspapers can still make that difference.

@joshc214 Год назад

P.S. you’re a brave man…my ass would have been doing the wish video in my backyard 😂😂

@OXFOOT Год назад

Oh man! That’s a way easier idea for a video. I’m still technically testing it out but just in a back yard lol.

@OXFOOT Год назад

Yeah the Walmart ones are all from fishing channels randomly. I’ll probably eventually do that but harbor freight would be nice. They don’t have tents per se but they at least had hammocks there last I saw.

@OXFOOT Год назад

Yeah I think I’ll donate all of it except the tent and bag to goodwill and then the bag and tent will go to a homeless shelter. It’s better than nothing.

@geraldbock1012 5 месяцев назад

re claustrophobic, I had the same thing happen to me whilst hiking up Mt Shuksan. We were on a glacier, my shoulders would not fit, having to pee every couple hours (altitude acclimatization I believe). Our guide suggested using it as a blanket and lying on the puffy. That worked much better.

@UkatzGaming Год назад

Don't skim on a sleeping pad. Your night would have been quite a bit better with one. Also naturehike does actually make quite decent budget friendly camping gear.

@OXFOOT Год назад

Yeah that’s why I went with them because Si knew they made some great stuff. This however was not the best. I’d love to give their nicer stuff another try.

I’ve been more comfortable in a snow cave. That sucked! Maybe series on camp hacks? Ie. My go to back pack camp stove during non burn bans. Is a alcohol stove made from a fancy feast cat tin. I have a couple penny stoves made from pop cans as well both work well cost nothing to make and are efficient.

@sneakysasquatch5133 Год назад

To clarify I liked the episode just looked miserable.

@OXFOOT Год назад

@OXFOOT Год назад

By alcohol stove you just mean it runs off of alcohol you poured in a tin? Like those sterno little ones.

@sneakysasquatch5133 Год назад

Denatured marine alcohol you can get anywhere. Not rubbing alcohol. It burns clean blue flame. 1 oz. will boil the amount of water you need for a backpack meal in 4-7 minutes. I made one from an Andrew Shurka RU-vid video. Somebody offshore when I worked offshore made me a couple penny stoves which also burn denatured alcohol or marine alcohol. They are made from pop cans.

@sneakysasquatch5133 Год назад

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pajkt594Ruw.html This is where I got the idea and made one from donated fancy feast can. I’ve used it for years. Wide bottom pans work better than skinny tall containers. I’m sure you can find penny stoves as well online.
