Start small and see if you like camping, you can always upgrade later, if you have a friend like I do who is an experienced camper, hunter and a marine. They can help,steer you in the right direction and bounce off ideas, i shared a tent with him and he’s like yeah no not that one I recommend this one.

the beard is coming in nicely brother! Great advice.
@honorableoutfittersGreat tips! It's time I attempt some winter camping 🥶
@AlexHatlevigGood stuff dude!
@BackcountryExposureUp until last year when I got my zenbivy I carried a 3.1 lb marmot frestles 30 that kept me very warm. Not the lightest but it wasn’t ridiculous and the price was awesome. Just remove weight from your pack in other ways or split gear with a partner.
@kristinescream793Good stuff, Gordon!
@theoutdoorempireFirst thing in the spring I have to go ebike camping on the beach. Going to try a couple of these items. Thanks
@elizabethraworth64this is such an underrated channel. you explain things so informatively for beginners
@nootnoot630I’m interested in dispersed camping how do I start?
@CheesticDude's right, don't go eye wateringly expensive to begin with, his preferences are not necessarily yours. For instance, I dislike down sleeping bags and like foam sleeping mats, buy a half decent one and they are very dependable. You need to find the things you like for yourself.
@jelkel25Good information and great presentation! Well done.
