Excellent ideas! Both of my local Walmarts have camping sections but I still shop in other departments for some items. Something else I invested in was a bunch of clothes made specifically for fishermen. I have several pairs of pants and several shirts and they are so easy to wash, never get wrinkles, and you can literally squish them into a ball in your backpack and they still look good when you pull them out. They are super lightweight and cool in the hoter months. I typically find them in the men's department but Walmart has them way cheaper than, say, Academy. They can be a bit of an investment but we do a lot of warm weather camping and they have served me well for years.

🤫! You're giving away my secrets 😅. You're so right about the "other" isles being a camper's goldmine! Even the Baby isles have some great items for camping. And those end isles near the pharmacy with all the miniature size items! I always head there. Good video!

Great video! Just now being able to plan my river and sandbar camping trip, this is helpful information!

Good ideas! Just make sure that the containers are food grade before putting any food items inside.

The flamin hot Cheeto joke was good

Those ear plugs are invaluable if you camp in whip-r-will country. Those birds can run a night in the forest. Same thing goes for crows in the morning, if you're a late sleeper. Maybe avoid using them in bear country though.😊 Most Campgrounds DO allow the heat treated wood that is sold in those bundles. There will be a certification on the package somewhere. In all National Forests, that I'm aware of, the ONLY firewood that you can bring from home is the certified variety. There are a number of insects, like the Emerald Ash Borer that are transported in cut wood and will infect new forest growth. The kiln drying kills the bugs and their larvae. Expect to have your wood actually checked. They are very serious about this issue. Those BBQ tongs are great to take camping, if you're going to have a campfire. They do a really good job of picking up and returning burning twigs and coals that tumble out of the fire and the Heavier made ones can actually manipulate decent sized logs. The longer the better and just avoid rubber tips and grips. Paint them white if you want to be able to spot them in the dark as the fire dies down. Depending on the construction, the grill burger flippers and be used as a shovel for ash management in your firepit. I don't have a problem using my grilling tools as firepit tools, but if you do, they are cheap enough that you can have a dedicated set for the firepit. I don't think you mentioned plastic tarps in the hardware section. And on that same note, a lot can be protected from rain with contractor trash bags and shower curtain liners from the housewares aisle. Beach style umbrellas can be used to help protect your campfire from being extinguished from rain. Yoga mats from the exercise equipment section will make a decent sleep mat in a pinch. And if you forgot your sleeping bag a quilt or a few fleece blankets can save the day.

Grab a couple 2’x5’ carpet runners one for outside the tent door and one for inside the door. Traps tons of dirt from covering the tent floor.

One additional tip is a garden pump sprayer. We used a 2 gal sprayer to cleanup the kids each night while dispersed camping. It was very handy.

Great videos and ideas. If I can add a suggestion. I put the Vaseline and cotton balls in an medicine container. Helps in case the ziploc bag breaks. I also use the medicine bottles to lots of other small items, like safety pins, tweezers, small sewing kit etc.

I'm glad ya'll addressed this. I saw you go to the tent peg section and kind of chuckled to myself. Here in Louisiana that's either a hot sauce section, an ammo section, a bible section, or all three.

Paracord for sure. But also masonry cord makes great guy lines. And waterskiing rope can be used to hang a hammock. Also go to the fabric dept and look for odds and ends of nylon. It is very inexpensive, packs light and is durable. Sometimes you can even get the silicone impregnated kind that is used to make UL gear. You can sew it into little drawstring bags etc. but my fav is just to get a couple yards of it or even 2 pieces and put it to work...remember all the ways you can use a military poncho? Pretty much the same. Don't even need to seam seal it. Uses include walling off your tarp shelter on the side or end (beak) in bad weather. Pack cover, wrap around you like a poncho. Sit on it like a picnic blanket or play area for a child. Dump gear on it to organize without losing things in the grass. Pitch it as a tarp, awning and or sun shade. Lay on it (ground cover), can string it up as a hammock for gear, pet, or small child. Boost your temp rating or moisture proofing of your sleep gear. Load it with firewood and carry with it. String up a curtain for privacy around your shower\bathroom\dressing area. You can even lay all your stuff on it and parcel wrap it with p cord and fashion it into an over the shoulder pack. Literally thousands of uses...it's a wall, door, floor, ceiling, table, blanket, bag. In some cases is not meant to permanently replace a piece of gear but excellent to cover a host of emergencies and can be used all day for this and that. You can also look in the school supplies area for a plastic pocket folder to use as a cutting board. Fav camping game....Yahtzee, just need 5 dice and write out a score card on a little note pad. Altoid cans for storing and organizing anything.

Just watched a previous video of yours about Amazon camping essentials, I had to subscribe after watching this one so, definitely informative for what I need, thanks!! See you in the next vid!!

You have a lot of great tips! Thank you so much ❤

The pool noodle hack is my favorite. Those guy lines are a real hazard.

I keep a 10 inch Lodge cast iron skillet in my gear that I got from Walmart a few years back. Love it for hot breakfast. Great tips!

Thank you folks for sharing this informative video. Always stay safe out there. 😊

I prefer the moldable blue silicone earplugs you can find around the vitamins/first aid area. They’re more comfortable to sleep with.

Good one!

Great tips , Thankyou !

Great video! And YAY to the Rummikub shout out!

👍 Great budget friendly ideas. Thanks for posting

the pill containers/tictac bottles for spices is something I've never thought of. Great idea!

Love My Walmart-hacks everywhere in different sections!! Gotta think outta the box though!! I do the Vaseline but not cotton balls (I save lint from dryer). Got the noodles for cutting into 3 and slicing in half so can do tent lines. Got Walmart 3 tiered blow up pool, go to laundry area & get chlorox tablets to keep water cleaner longer. Hot & humid in Georgia!! Also get bathroom wand with handle to scrub inside of pool when done and looking bad. Command hooks & Velcro have some many uses!!❤

Yep! There’s good stuff there! If you keep it simple. Their Ozark Trail 6 X 8 Tarp is very good. Strong. Light. Blue. $6. They always stock Coghlans tent pins. They have book matches and Bic Lighters. Look in Kitchen Wares for cook kit stuff. Automotive has sunshades for sleep mats. And Heet fuel if you are into stoves … Grocery has fresh stuff and Knorr. Yes! Walmart is supply!

You can also find Manny inexpensive items to use for camping at Harbor Freight Tools.

The tic tac one is a great idea, thanks

Great video guys!

I put my three room tent and all the tent supplies (stakes, mallet, tarps etc) in a tote. So much easier than using the awkward tent bag

Pill containers for spices.. brilliant

Great Video. The Lodge cast iron pizza pan is fantastic. I got it because my camper's gas oven would burn the pizza crust. The plastic cutlery is a fantastic deal. They don't hold up to heat very well, so have metal utensils for cooking. For storage, I use Bauer stackable tool boxes from Harbor Freight. Walmart does have a stackable tool system in the Hart line, I just happened to catch the Bauer on sale. The best camping item I think Walmart has is the Hart 5 gallon cordless sprayer. It takes Hart power tool batteries. I think it's only available online though.

At my Walmart super center hood luck on choice of tund , very limited and not ordered.

It always amazes me all the really cool stuff Walmart has but not at our location. We have a camping section but a pretty minimalist assortment of the stuff you showed us in this video.

Great vid with some thinking outside of the box ideas. One thing about the paracord though. Even though the label says 550 paracord, it's not true 550. It says on the label that it's only 110 pound test. So if you're using it for a hammock or something else that needs to support a lot of weight, you'll need to double up or even triple up on it.

I've been basically disappointed in the camping gear at Walmart. A tent, the zipper was done in a weekend.. The tote bag for my poncho ripped the stitches. The duct tape, isn't sticking. Foam mattress was like sleeping on the ground.. The 1lb propane tanks don't last very long. The 20,000mah power bank doesn't fast charge, and barely can charge my phone turned off.. The hiking boots almost froze my feet off. You do get what you pay for...... .. The "Poncho" was awesome 👍 Green.

EXACTLY video. THANKS🎉

Great video 👍🏾

Actually very good info!!

Most areas don’t allow you to bring fire wood too much of a chance of spreading diseases.

Awesome ideas how about a camping trip

Your WM Looks awesome! Ours is hardly ever stocked:(

Good video. Thanks!

I enjoyed your video

🌷Thank You🌻

I've never seen a Walmart without a camping section.

You might want to check out Harbor Freight.

Where could l find them in port moresby?

My last camping trip….. Had my buddy from work and we were buying supplies for his first camping trip. He asked “will there be a microwave?” 🤪 I bought a microwave 😁 An air conditioner is on the list for future “camping” trips.🤦🏻 Not every trip has to be a bush craft trip 🤷‍♂️

Where did you find the emergency power station? With the crank?

I seldom bought camping gear from the camping section. I t was much cheaper to get stuff from other departments in the store.

I subscribed because of the corny "flamin hot" joke. Haha see what I did there 😂

go with bamboo for cutting boards not plastic

Be careful about the silicon shampoo bottles - sometimes certain chemicals will negatively react, turning the bottle slimy

Ridgid cases the.💣

I thought we were going to talk about camping gear like tarp tents and alternative bedding and seating.

Just a note. The paracord they sell in the camping isle is "real" paracord. That is why it cost more. Real 550 paracord is rated for 550lbs. of strength. Real paracord has 7 inner nylon strands that are each rated at 50lbs. The outer sheath is rated at 200lbs. Therefore 7 strands X 50lbs. = 350lbs. + The outer sheath which is 200lbs. = a total of 550lbs. That is where 550 paracord got it's name from. Real paracord can have the 7 strands pulled apart for: sewing, fishing line, small game traps etc. The 550 paracord they sell in hardware looks like paracord from the outside but is rated at 80lbs and it is a solid core under the outer sheath. Does it make a difference for clothes line, tarp setup or general use? No but it's not real paracord and calling it 550 paracord is deceptive.

Those prices……..3 years ago were half that! Scary stuff

The Sherpa just left the store screaming.

Potato/Corn Chips are too expensive nowadays.

Walmart fire not good smoked like hell. Find wood bought from the parks store way way better.

All products shown are cheaper in price and quality . Straight facts

All these big "box stores" and internet shopping have been the downfall of America's small businesses. I've said for years that we chase cheapest prices (usually junk imo) and allow these big chains to corner the market. They've pretty much got it done in our small towns. Grocery stores, lumber yards and hardware stores are gone. We're now stuck with foreign made junk, the prices go up every day and customer service is non-existent. We reap what we sow.

Lol, hopeless

...what kinda rinkydink Wal-Mart doesn't have a camping section?

FYI Camping section at Walmart is usually Right next to Automotive section
