- The Thrift Store Survival Challenge is all about finding your necessary gear at thrift stores. This simulates a real survival situation or bug out scenario where you might have to use inferior or less than optimal gear. It is especially challenging to find the required items to fill all your survival needs. Then, because you can't always find it all, you then have to improvise!

This was such a fun video to prepare for and make. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed filming and experiencing it! Some of you have asked that I make longer videos and I know that many of you like overnighters, so here it is. Thank you so much for watching and please make sure and give this video a thumbs up, share it and don't forget to subscribe and press the bell button to be notified of all our upcoming videos!
Awesome episode! I'm low income myself and had to survive with my ex husband for many months by camping when we were homeless and unable to find housing here in Ontario Canada. It gets quite cold. We are both inexperienced but learned alot by watching videos like these and trial and error. I enjoy survival and bushcraft. Now even though i have a beautiful condo in Toronto I still miss those days and get nostalgia watching your videos. Thank you 😊
I appreciate the fact that you respect the low income individuals, shows character. That's why I subscribed. Good job!
No thrift store around here would have sold that tackle box for $4 , no less than $25 here. People who cant afford much complain about how greedy these stores are when they got the items for free.
Tip for the knife sheath...stuff some dry grass or such at the bottom, this will make it easier to remove the knife and as an added bonus help store some emergency dry tinder :)
As someone who is really new to prepping/survival, I have a tendency to just start buying higher end stuff based off videos on TH-cam, without having the requisite skills ot even philosophy behind why certain gear is used in specific situations. Videos like this are really helpful because it stops me wasting money and helps me aquire and hone skills without wasting money on gear I don't really need
Videos like yours are incredibly helpful for those of us who have a lower income, but still want to enjoy the outdoors.
I always pick up candles at thrift stores. Candle wax is the cheapest fire starter ever! I found a volley ball net for $2 and transformed it into a useful fish capture net. Drop cloth on the tent floor.. a must.
The trick is having the necessary skills before hand then you can easily seek out what items you need and be able to modify others to serve a required purpose (except, possibly the fire kit lol) This is, perhaps, one of the most important "survival" skills. Thanks for doing this challenge with second hand gear as many of us are on a budget.
Yarn, seperate it out and then hard twist it to make fishing line. Use it to help start a fire. And worried about the lack of nutrients in that can of chunky soup? A bit of wood ash is a good source of potassium. Love that pan! I would have scouted out a forked green stick to make a point on it to shove in the ground to rest that long handle on while you're sitting on that camp stool. But, way to go! Got good goods! BTW, thinking about that inflatable mattress, if it were to spring a leak, all of that tall grass would have made a great stuffing so cut one end and stuff it where the air would have gone. Just the fact you stopped to get tinder and even before knowing you had the air mattress, I was thinking, hey, gather up a huge pile and bind it and bring it along. It is dry so does not weigh much and can be used for more fires and or bedding. Thanks for posting this, really cool! Hope it stirs some innovative brain cells of folks out there watching this! Oh yeah, be careful of bow saws. I cut my left index finger down to the bone because that saw jumped off the wood and onto my finger of the hand holding the wood being cut. It happened so dang fast!
I love these budget type vids. Reminds me of when I first started out. Most of my gear came from thrift stores and yard sales.
Little ole lady camper here with a few additional tips:
Though I definitely like high end gear, as a kid I just carried a suitcase miles and miles into the sticks with a bunch of stuff I scrounged from wherever I could.
90% of my clothing, fishing, camping gear and tools comes from thrift stores, yard sales, and estate sales. Have couple of 2-3 person tents for less than &10, a really neat sleeping mat that can be folded into a semi sitting/reclining position. Super easy on my bad back. Even got a $250 W-M kayak for $100, because it had a hole in it that waterproof tape easily mended. My problem is having time to take off to use it. I won't camp or kayak alone, as I'm old, but I still love getting away. A shout out to you for your frugal camping video. Yea!
The fleece sheet/pocket on the sleeping bag is to hold a sleeping pad inside the bag.
Love this challenge. What a cool way to have fun, help the community & show ourselves we don’t need the best or latest. Big hype on recycling-no better way. New to your channel & now to bing on a few older videos.😊
I agree that going to a big box store or a store that caters to camping, is NOT a challenge, unless you limit the funds to a ridiculously low amount. Going to a place that has a variety of things and ALMOST never has exactly what you need is a REAL challenge, and if you put a budget restriction on it then it really becomes a challenge. A challenge is where you are required to think outside the box to accomplish the desired goal, IMHO. Keep up the great vids.
I got all my camping and hiking gear second-hand.
Small tip for that long bow saw
Great idea for a challenge,.i have got some great fines at thrift shops. Quality wool blankets, sleeping bags, pads ,,pots, pans,water containers and outer wear. The hardest to find would be cover and wood cutting tools. I use about 50 percent of recycled things in my kit all thr time. Thanks for the vid.
