What You Actually NEED to go Camping

- These days camping is often associated with expensive 4x4 's and camper trailers.
But have we drifted away from what camping is actually meant to be? Getting together with good family and friends around the campfire, grabbing a few pots and pans from home, pulling out that dome tent from the back of the garage, and getting out and enjoying the great outdoors
In this video I wanted to show everyone who thinks they can't afford to go away, how affordable and enjoyable camping can be even on a budget.
The planning document for this trip can be viewed here - docs.google.com/document/d/1k...
This video was made possible by Tentworld, there is one near you, or check out their online store at - www.tentworld.com.au/
Check out the Goosehill stand up paddle board here - bit.ly/2KzSsnf

I swear, there's no such thing as a bad day with this guy
Fre Nic.. His videos are always smooth running, informative and entertaining. Too bad he has given away doing this, as of early January 2020. I'm gonna miss his stuff. I went to tent world at Browns Plains just recently to get a small specific item, didn't have much time to browse, but I will certainly be back. lots of goodies there.
@@steiny3353 That's a bummer he has given it away. I have only just discovered him. He has a real knack for doing it too.
I know. Im new here and absolutely love this guy. His accent is great, SO full of life and exciting just to listen to him. Spending tbe afternoon hanging with him would be a blast.
@@markcoraa ...unfortunately, he isn't doing it any more. He announced it at the beginning of January. Just when I was really getting into his videos too. He's been doing it for years and it was simply just getting to be a chore for him, he said. He's certainly not hard to like. He just wants to go camping to enjoy it, without all the work involved in doing the videos. With a bit of luck, he might come back.
@@jennyleef1775 ..Yes, I will miss his videos. If you watch his very last video (in January) he explains why he has given it away. Most of his videoing is done alone, and when you think about it, there is a hell of a lot of work involved in getting a simple 10 second frame. The amount of editing he has to do would be unbelievable. Sad, but the young feller has to live his own life. I am a bit miffed that I only just discovered him too. He's been doing it for years, so he has a lot of content on his channel to go back over.
Loved having you in-store Michael! This is a great video to help those getting started with camping!
Good on you Tentworld for helping him out
very refreshing to see a sponsered video thats not by a multinational corporation
Good work Tentworld getting on board with a smaller TH-cam channel.
Ditto tent world
Was in store at browns plains last week and great range of gear at good prices
Cheers
Tentworld looks like an awesome place for 4x4 supplies! Will have to visit one of their stores before my next trip.
Not gonna lie I usually don’t like watching long vids like this but I enjoyed every part of. Great vid thx a lot
Same here, never tempted to stop watching. He's so likable.
Absolutely
Bruh same!!!!❤
Didn’t notice the lenght until you mentioned it
Yo i deadass was thinking the exact same thing and than I saw this as the top comment😂
I'm 45 years old, my fondest memories as a child were my camping holidays with my parents. I have 3 kids (11, 9 and 4) and I have never taken them camping. Thank you for this amazing video... I'm buying a tent tomorrow and will be planning a few trips around FNQ with my family.
Yea make sure to get a bigger one with 2 rooms one for you kids one for you and wife don’t want them to see how much of a good old rogh tent bang you’ll give her mate
@@fnzify4438 yikes
Hi Mike - I'm 56 with a 13 YO and have now all the gear to do it - I did camping in another life, but it will be great for us as a family now as I have the memories as you do :)
Michael the way you have 'produced' and 'directed' this video is remarkable. You are also a natural in front of the camera. Well done.
why quotation marks cobba joe.
"So do you wanna make a camping video, a shopping video, a scenic drone footage video, or a cooking video?"
Yes
As of March 25th 2021, the new costing of the camping items Michael purchased at Tentworld is $482 with the biggest price increase being the Dometic Cool-Ice Icebox 33L increasing it's price by $50 to $149. Surprisingly most of the items are the exact same price as the day he recorded the video in June 2019 which is fantastic.
Hands down, the most enjoyable camping video I've seen! Well done young man!
So much work went into producing this video. Drone shots, multiple times setting up the camera for different angles. Thoughtful, well-framed shots. Beautiful scenery. Pride in showing parts of your great state. Well done! You're missed.
Pulling the plug is how I have always got my kids out of the tent in the morning!😁
How does this guy keep smiling for so long, if I try my cheekbones start to hurt after a minute
I think it's an Australian thing haha
I watched this entire video and I already have a camping setup. I absolutely loved this video and it gave me some ideas. SUBBED.
I have tent so
"When it comes to camping this is where most arguments start"
Facts 😂
what arguments
@@rogerhector3821 watch the part when he starts setting up the tent.
That's because camping is in tents! (intense!)
That and making a bed
THERE’S NO ARGUMENTS !.
Loved this video heaps more than Ronny Dahls version
Little tip I learned from when I was in the Army, go grab yourself a silk/cotton liner, I think Anaconda has them for about $15. Adds basically 0 bulk to your sleeping bag but takes the comfort and warmth to the next level
+1 on that.
Silk was the preferred option as certain bugs, mites etc don't like silk material... win - win.
Steve Brown - Thanks guys-I never knew about this little spoken advice.
Dujbzy..Weren't they awesome ? I used to stuff mine in my basic pouch. Warm as toast.
And, it keeps your sleeping bag clean for longer, especially if you are a bit sweaty/grimy with no washing facilities. Then after trip wash the liner only & just air out the sleeping bag.
The sequence of him going to the island brought this video to the next level! FN sweet! He’s so joyous, too.
Seriously love your smile and that you are almost ALWAYS smiling. Litterally making me smile in an office by myself. Awesome energy mate.
Great job tent world for supporting this inspirational youngster show people how fun times are made 👍🤣😀
Well Michael you really could have your own tv show
The effort and quality of this video is outstanding and well put together
The final words and images really well done mate
Ps might have to get one of them paddle boards also
Cheers
You do seek adventure
Seems like your from England?
I was thinking the same own tv show
Agreed, well put together and you were an excellent host.
I love it when you find a youtuber that just loves to share what they love with you.
Good job bro, loved the video.
Inspirational, in my case, a life attitude changing revelation...
Words aren't enough to Thank you.
Love your down to earth attitude. Thanks for the advice.
Great work, again. Had the missus n kids laughing out loud.
Dude you need to send a link to your channel, to the WA Tourist mob. You’re doing more to encourage both local Sandgropers and eastern states foreigners to visit WA and see the hidden gems, than pretty much anyone.
Well done you. Keep it up!
And well done Tentworld for supporting you, they’ve just gained a customer.
Tentworld is Awesome! This video was great. Very educational and entertaining. This has been one of the funnest videos out there. Thank you, for all your efforts and time making this video. Thanks also to Tentworld for their participation!
“I’m just going to suffer in the carivan campsite...” next scene “it’s got a nice view here, I just love it”. You’re showing us camping but teaching us good attitude!
Your channel makes me so happy. I'm an almost middle aged man about to ditch my sportscar and buy something a little more camp-friendly though I've had painfully little experience camping (just never had friends or family that were into it) and watching channels like yours has been so inspiring. You're also just the right amount of funny. Keep up the good work, you have a new sub from South Africa.
Great video! Nice reminder for people that they don't need to overhaul their lives to get started camping!
@Steve glad to hear it
I have only just come across this video. I have often told people it doesn't take much to set up to go camping and you have proved it. I'd often lend my spare camping gear to people so they can get a feel for it. Tentworld is definitely the best place to go, they are always very good with their prices and I tend to spend way more time in the shop than I need to when I go to get something. This was a great video. Thankyou for doing it Michael, even though this is a year later.
Found everything you bought + more from a 75 year old gentleman who wanted to do one last camp trip with his wife but never got around to it as his wife was no longer able to walk. All up $150 and he never used any of it, just stored for roughly 2 years. Best part of it was I ended up having about an hour long chat about his favourite camping memerioes.
Yep, started with a Holden Vectra, 5 person Jackeroo dome tent, single butane gas stove, borrowed 4wd mattresses, esky and really really old school camp chairs, the 2wk trip that started all the rest 😊. Love the editing on this one mate, forgot we were watching TH-cam and not a telly show👌
Thanks to Tent world for sponsoring the video, and Micheal for the memories of when I started camping, doing the caravan thing now, but sometimes wish it was still like this.
I enjoyed this video immensely! You took me on an adventure in a really professional way, entertaining, informative, creative and full of how-to-enjoy-life examples. I'm a 65 year old camper who's had it all in her life, from sleeping on the floor on the ferry to England, via ancient VW Beetle and canvas tent with a hundred rusty poles in Italy, a nice but finally broke down Bus across Europe, to American Rent-a-Mobile Home monsters in the States. It's not important how and what your equipment is like, the main thing is to enjoy your road movie and life and nature. You show all this with that wide smile of yours and make us wish we were there...
Nowadays I'm on the road with my minivan, in it a real matress, a dogtent for my two medium bitches and a folding toilet, not even kitchen gear, just an icebox. I'm happy with being on my way, eating on benches, beaches and mountains, glad to be walking about without pains. I wish you a happy life and thank you for your good vibes, lovely footage and perfect editing. With love XD
I've been camping my whole life but I still love watching these videos to see how others do things and learn something new. Gotta say mate, I absolutely love your energy in all your vids. Keep up the great work!
New subscriber from a couch potato great grandma from Las Vegas. Thank you for taking me on an awesome beautiful trip all seen from the comfort of my couch, lol! Your photography was beautiful and I loved seeing the campgrounds too!
cocacolafiesta the only way to camp
Grandma from California thinking I underestimated Australia’s camping game.
This was terrific! I'm an experienced camper /4wd but I thoroughly enjoyed this. You're a natural great presenter.
Utterly outstanding “presentation “ style ... candid and natural. Well done young Aussie !
Protect this man at all costs. ❤️
I'd change a few items:
- You don't need the sleeping bag. You brought your own pillow, so may as well just bring your bedding too.
- Can even ditch the inflatable mattress if you a have a futon couch or similar, just roll and tie up the mattress and throw in the boot or back seat.
- Buy a jerry can for water! The world has enough single use plastic in it. Even if you do use it a few times, most people don't. Best to get beginners in the habit of minimal waste.
P.S. I also love Tentworld. They stock a nice range from the budget through to the quality gear. Plus they are less brand biased, so you get the best of everything.
Agree on the home bedding. The futon mattress would be huge, but I like that idea because I have never had any luck with air mattresses.
Don't forget your pillow 😁
Carry a pillow case and fill it with debris from the forest floor if you want a pillow.
AngelusSolus Then you'll probably get bugs and stuff in there
put your clothes in the sleeping bag bag
@@Kinghassz Your going camping, your probably going to get bugs in your tent anyway.
Don’t forget your towel either
Just found your channel- what a beautiful country you have! I live in Florida and camp mostly year round including in this now horrible heat! However- the peace and quiet of nature- the simple sleeping in a tent- keeps me grateful. Thanks for sharing this video- enjoy your adventures!!!
What I like the most is how happy you are doing things that you like. Just watching you put a smile on your audience face.
Love your style and happy smiles throughout every video. Very well made! Should definitely become a travel series :) Cheers from Sweden
Love your channel Michael, my husband and I really enjoy everything you put up. Great to see Tentworld getting involved, great company.
Such a great video!! I've been camping for years but still picked up some great tips and well done Tentworld for sponsoring - also our fave camping store.
I love Tentworld! I'm about to embark on my first camping trip in a few weeks and have been purchasing my camping gear from them. Great video! And good to have a checklist to make sure I haven't missed out on the essentials!
Great job Michael!! I would only suggest one thing......KEEP IT UP🤙🏼
I loved this video and have been camping for a very long time - I had to laugh about your air bed deflating / getting out of bed trick as I do this too.
Glad you enjoyed the video Keith! That's too funny, it is a great way to do it 👍😁,
Ditto!
This is my favourite camping/4WD channel. Thanks Michael!
Really appreciate the comment 🙂
@@SeekAdventureDoes this lad have a shop site?i want 1 of his windscreen stickers
Thanks for this vid. I looked up my local Tent World after watching this, so take note future sponsors. Great video.
Finally a video with shops and brands I can actually go to and buy. And even in my state!
That was so good, one of the best you've done mate
Could have watched that for hours
2 years later, I rewatch this video and it still put a smile on my face. Seek Adventure really makes me want to take a long trip in Australia.
Thanks for letting us watch everything from early beginning as a totally fresh camper, it sounded overwhelming but after watching this, it is definitely worth trying 👏👏
Thanks for making a video that points out camping is not the consumer sport it seems to be these days.
Too much focus in most camping vids is about accessories and gadgetry. All you really need is the will to get out there and what you used in this vid.
That Tentworld in Midland is bloody awesome...! Cool video.. just goes to show you don't need to spend $$$$$ to
simply go camping
Man, i am so impressed by this video. Literally enjoying every second of it, thanks for allowing us to learn in such a great manner.
Every single video is an absolute joy to watch. Mate keep up the great videos, you make solo camping/adventuring look like so much fun. 👌👌
Good on you tent world, awesome gesture to support the channel in this way.
Great video, really enjoyed it. I’m a subscriber now.
Your awesome! Great advice down to earth realistic information. Presented with efficiency and humor. Your a legend. Keep up the great work you do! Much appreciated...
Thank you! This is the first time I watch a TH-cam video that's over 15 mins. long. I really enjoyed "hanging out" with you today (it actually felt like I was there).
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. One of the best TH-cam videos I've watched in recent memory, & I watch a lot of them! Great job, buddy.
Great drone shots and good editing of this video. Great choice of background music too. It really suits the video topic. Your videos just keeps getting better and better. Keep it up.
Ripper Vid again mate. I love your attention to detail in editing eg. 3 hammer taps per peg, you clearly put a lot of effort in . I look forward to that Seek Adventure notification popping up each time you upload something new, keep up the great work!
What a great episode. I've watched it a year ago and then again today. I enjoyed it both times. My parents were campers so I've been camping since I was months old. So much good advice in this video. Really well done!
Just watched this on my feed. SOOO good to see an Aussie doing outdoor vids. Absolutely loved your content and appreciate your happy and jovial attitude. I've subbed to get more "Seek Adventure" ! And, wished I'd had the chance to bounce! Cheers from Toowoomba Qld. Someday Oneday, I'll W.A. ... after lockdown.
G'day Michael, I'm in Virginia and thoroughly enjoying your video! I have been gathering the gear needed for car camping. Not much was needed due to the fact I've been backpacking and camping since I was 10. I almost need a warehouse to store my gear. At 72 I decided it was time to give up the long treks or hikes especially up and down mountains. The legs and lungs are not so strong any longer. After your shopping spree in Tentworld (REI would be a close equivalent) it seems I have all of the necessities. I just have to figure out how to get back to Australia...what a beautiful country you live in! I've been to Melbourne and Coolangatta (my sister has a timeshare there) and absolutely love it on the Gold Coast. Michael, you should be on TV! You have a great smile and personality plus. Your skills as a photographer and speaker (love that Aussie accent!) are above reproach. Anyway, I'm a new sub and look forward to watching more of your videos.
I'm also in Virginia, do you know of any camping spots around VA that I should check out. I want to get more into camping
I’m so glad I found your channel. Your a very inspirational young man
My family went tenting for the first time last year. We shopped around and got everything (cooler, mess kit, double stove, tarps, rope, tent, 2 air mattress, 2 sleeping bags) for under $300. I always recommend checking out your local gear swap page too. Campers always seem to like to gift their old gear to new campers!
Thank you, Michael. This video is exactly what I was looking for.
Great Video. Kept me glued to the screen start to finish, thoroughly enjoyed it. Good mix of everything and felt like I was watching a full TV episode. Love watching your videos progress in content and quality. Thanks Michael!
Sandboarding clip segment is 😝😊😎😜
Been camping for many years but still absolutely loved this. It can be so refreshing to go simple & light & uncomplicated. Impressed so subscribed, thank you.
Planning our first family camping trip and this video is just the best. Made me smile the whole time and was so encouraging!
Hi Michael, just found your channel and love it. Great content and brilliant presentation, you’re a natural. I’ve learned loads and feel inspired to get off the couch.
Can I make a small plea though. The stove you picked uses disposable gas canisters. One of those let go while my wife was cooking. It was a spare sitting behind the stove just like the one in your video I think? The seam around the top failed in the heat, releasing the contents through the cooking flame and engulfing 5 people in a fire ball that had one guy air lifted to the burns unit in Perth. All survived but physically and mentally scared.
The small print on the canisters it says to keep them below 50 degrees Celsius. It gets hotter than that in the boot of your car.
It’s not for me to tell other people not to use them but I won’t miss the chance to warn people about the dangers.
MrProctitus..Bloody hell mate ! that would have been frightening. I've used those things for years and never had a problem. Just goes to show you. A few years ago, someone had four of them put together and put a large BBQ plate on them with them all lit, and naturally, it went up ! At one stage, a few years ago, you couldn't even buy one of those stoves for quite a while, but then they slowly seemed to re emerge.
Please don’t put spare canisters even empty ones behind or near an active flame. Single burners are designed to be used as a single unit so don’t put two stoves together to use under a large hot plate. Gas is flammable treat it with respect and we all will survive camping.
I know its a camping video, but my favorite bit is seeing your hat holder in the back of your 4x4. 👍 The rest of the vid is great too though.
While searching yard sales for camping items, my husband and I met an elderly couple who were leaving their home and going to assisted living.
They had been lifelong outdoors adventurers.
We purchased a few items... and then they started putting more items in the bed of my pickup truck.
They wanted us to have the items so that we could enjoy the outdoors as much as they had!
You can't beat free!
You sir. Are the first one to make LONG videos enjoyable! Didn’t even realized i watched it all! I was actually looking for a short advice video and I end up watching yours and to be honest with you this was pretty great. You need your own tv show. This is gold!
This is one of the best videos you've done by far!
You really do put some great content together, mate. Another awesome video. New Tentworld customer here !
Just clicked on the Back to Basics planning document and WOW. This is UNREAL! You've done literally all the work for us besides choosing a spot to camp (EDIT: Watched further, and you picked Lano. Awesome choice!). I've been camping before but the cooking side of things is always a pain, deciding what to cook, taking too much/too little food, or being reduced to eating snags every night. THANK YOU!!
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!! Thank you for taking the time out to create such a gem. Cheers
back in the good old days used to be able to camp in the dunes and ride up to Cervantes on ya bike through all the tracks and along the beach. That sea lion is probably the same one that scared the crap out of my mate as we were snorkelling to that island, im sure the people on the beach thought it was the 2nd coming of Christ, mate was just about running on water
Absolutely beautiful where you're at. I wish campgrounds like that were near me
I know a way to cut down on the cost by about 40$. Use a roll mat instead of an air mattress and pump. You don't need a pillow, you can just take a case and full it with clothes and that saves space. You don't need a camp chair or a table as you can just sit on the ground and cook and eat on the ground. And you said that the ice box doubles as a chair. I live by the moor and I go camping out there quite often. All you need is a tent, a cool bag, a cheap gas cooker, a roll mat, a sleeping bag, some clothes, a pillow case and some food.
Great job, mate! Love the freedom and ease you bring to this experience.
TentWorld is awesome! I wish we had one in Canada. Another nice vid, mate.
Great video mate, that was heaps of fun to watch! 🙌🏽 How good are small town bakeries!!! 😋
Very well done! There were so many good things that you did here!! Beautiful scenery, great meals, awesome sense of adventure that seemed fun, and not too difficult for the average person. I learned so much from you also.
I never watch videos that are over like 12 minutes. But this was so informative and fun to watch. Great work!
Tentworld are my favourites too-- I love their catalogue sales!11
I live a 2 hour drive to the Grand Canyon and not been there in 20 years, I'm going next week after watching this video.
Did you go?
@@edgarbalderas3593 Yes, I did!! I had only 1 day off so it was an afternoon visit, but refreshing just the same. Just getting out of town and into nature is a blessing.
@@eckankar7756 nice !! Can't wait to see it in-person!
How sad! So close to one of the world's most amazing natural wonders and you don't visit it at least once a year?....your don't even need to camp; you can do it as a day trip. Not being critical of you....just want you to see the opportunity you have, that so few of us have. See if you can spark an interest in geology, flora or fauna....the joy of Nature is free, yet it can give us so much in return if we just put in a little effort! It helps to clear confusion and free our soul. Try to stop and smell the Roses....ooops!...I mean, the Rocks! (Grand Canyon, get it?)
You’re enthusiasm is so infectious! Awesome video man keep em coming. Thanks again!
just watched this today.. I absolutely love it. the whole video was entertaining.. thanks
Great vid Mike .. I love Tentworld
Haha I love the hammer! My dad has the exact same hammer that’s bent in the same way just like yours 😂 great video mate love watching your content 👌 Good work tent world I will definitely be paying them a visit to get some super pegs!
Man, what a vid. Everytime i was ready for an "ok guys, like, subscribe and hit the bell icon" you had something more amazing to watch.
Probably one of the best videos I have ever seen, about anything. Smiled the whole time. I have been to Australia multiple times, have really good friends there. Can't wait to go back.
The chair at 2:20 is for gator country up the gulf/cape.
gator ? ohh you mean croc
damn to me that’s glamping, all i take is a hootchie (glorified trap), ice box, camp oven, a cast iron fry pan to put on the fire, yoga mat , a sleeping bag, and a milk crate to carry stuff inn which doubles as a seat and i use the ice box as a table, simplicity is key for me when camping
This is such a great video! I can hardly believe I only just found your channel! Your passion REALLY comes through in the videos... You've inspired me to get the kids (and husband) or and about camping with me!
Great job with this video (as well as your other videos!). Something about your production makes these easy to watch while also providing useful information. Thanks!
