@greenvalleyoutdoors Thanks for that mate. Subbed and working my way through your videos. That Temu sleeping bag looks a bit like the army jungle lightweight sleeping bags.
@@swanseamale47 nice one mate really appreciate it. The gonk bag is the same shape but not great. The issued Jungle bag I still use to this day. Enjoy mate
If you wanna make the backpack, a little more sturdy, you can take your inflatable mattress inflated completely, put it inside the backpack in a circular motion and stuff everything else inside that way your backpack would be more rigid and maybe more to your liking
I just got a 85 l bag with rails / frame waist and chest support for 25 quid from go outdoors . Its a great starter bag . Eurohike nepal 85 . Its better than expected at the price point
Nice vid, buddy. I have two things to say on that gear. 1. The headlamp. A little trip to Halfrauds, and grab a roll of the brake-light repair tape, and stick some over the front of the lamps. This gives a red light instead of blinding white light. As an ex-soldier you’ll appreciate the benefit of keeping your night-vision. 2. The folding buck-saw. Those ones are crap. I have one and hate it. You don’t have enough purchase to twist the knurled knob-ends tight enough to properly tension the blade, meaning every single cut will be a curved one. In my experience, if you’re going to need a saw of that type, you’ll also be wanting straight cuts. My 50p worth. Everything else looks like a decent start-out gear load-out 👍🏻
Hi Mike. Head lamp will only be used in emergencies, i.e., checking for spiders and or ghosts🤣. As for the saw It was cheap. I will put it through its paces. Thanks for the ridge line pointers the other week.
Ah, well I guess nobody wants nightvision if they don’t want to see ghosts or spiders. I’d rather not see either, myself 😂😂 You’re very welcome indeed, my friend. I’d love to come out with you over a long weekend sometime - that’d be very cool 👍🏻
The gasifier stoves work great. I've had mine for 2 years and it goes with me on just about every hiking trip. It's important how you load them, though, and you light them from the top. Pack the wood and twigs in standing up vertically as tight as you can. Make sure the secondary burning holes on the inside are not covered. I get almost 45 minutes of useful heat out of mine. But again, there's a knack to loading them. Its One of my favorite pieces of gear. Also, with the folding saw: I couldn't find anywhere that sold replacement blades. I'm anxious to see how yours performs. It'll be interesting to see how everything works out for you. BTW: little tray for the stove can be used as an ash catcher, or a little tray for holding a solid fuel pellets (it goes inside the stove).
Hello mate, that's where I went wrong then, as it took a while to boil a cup of water. The bow saw teeth are too fine for my usage so didn't use it for very long, how ever, the grey fold saw was great to use and a nice size. Thank you for your feed back, I really appreciate it Floyd
No problem... Just one more thing about the gasifier: I leave a little space in the very middle when getting close to finishing loading it and stuff some tinder (of your choice) in the lot. Light that (from the top as I said) and you should be good-to-go. I know, it's counter intuitive, but that is how they are designed. You shouldn't have anything more than a small pile of ashes when it's all burned - very efficient little guys and one of the few things out of China that you can count on. 😉 Like I said, I love mine and once I figured it out it's become part of my standard gear, especially when an open fire is not an option (some national parks, and burn-bans here in the States). Enjoyed the vid and the concept of trying out cheap gear. (Glad I didn't get the folding saw... got a Silky instead).
@davidvaughn7752 I was intrigued by Temu, I wanted to see how cheap I could get it and how it would hold up. I am also a silky fan. I have the gomboy and bigboy outback which are in my everyday load out. Cheers mate
The links dont take you to the individual items, just to the Temu home page. I am trying to find that knife. Do you have a more detailed link? Thanks for video.
Hey Moggie, wondering how many watches would like a full review on fire lighting using different ignition sources and fuels.

@@greenvalleyoutdoors Yeah I've seen that on lots of stuff, it's hilarious at times. I actually might get that little camp stove. I plan to start hiking and need just about everything accept knives and cutting tools, that I have plenty of.
Sometimes you gotta love TH-cam algorithms. This video was suggested to me. I'm broke so the likes of temu and wish are my in for the world of wild camping (hopefully get what need by next summer to get out there) so appreciate the lack of judgement yet honesty in this video and looking forward to watching next vid of trying this all out! Top bloke got a sub from me 👍🏻
Be careful what you say into your phone 🤣. The only big issue I had with the equipment was the sleeping bag. The rest of it was good workable kit. Glad you've found this vid helpful. Thank you for your sub. Take it easy
Damn, that sleeping bag is terrible! OK, my Amazon Basics "Amazon Basics Sleeping Bag for Cold-Weather Camping and Hiking, Lightweight, Mummy, Olive Green" (what a name!) is over twice the price (£29) but it is warm!
Thank you for a great review video which i really enjoyed. I'll share some info about Temu and their camping equipment on it as well. Temu is a offshoot of PDD holdings (Pinduoduo Inc) a NASDAQ traded company, it's one of the largest e-commerce company in China, kind of their ver. of Amazon, Specializes in affordable but good quality everyday items, they sales to hundreds of millions Chinese everyday. Temu is their intl. offshoot, so they're used to dealing with huge sales volume at inexpensive prices. The products on it, are generally good for the price point, though some are better deals than others, along with few bad apples. Company like Naturehike is one of biggest Outdoor/Camping equipment brand in China, (kind of their Ver. Of Coleman) based in the coastal city of Ningbo, in the province of Zhejiang. As china became more developed in recent decades, their people became more affluent, Outdoor sports/Camping became quite popular there, if one travel through their National Parks & Campgrounds, will see Naturehike products quite often, hence the generally good quality. What we see on Amazon or Temu are just a fraction of their entire products line up, usually selling by a 3rd party e-retailer on Amazon, ebay or Temu, just as Toyota don't sell their entire line up in US, there's many Toyota cars we never even heard of outside of Japan, cater to their domestic mkt but not intl mkt. The World is changing fast before our eyes, China's Domestic Brands products quality are improving everyday, not just on camping gear but across the broad. It's similar to Japan went from 70s-80s cheap cars & merchandises to 90s-00s fair & fine quality products at decen prices. Pretty soon some will become internationally recognizable brands & dominant players. If 5 years ago, someone tells me a Chinese Outdoor Brand company makes the world's best ultralight titanium backpacking stove, I did say you must be joking, but now everyone seriously about backpacking heard of BRS stove. A brave new world we live in.
I haven’t seen a product yet that has been well made… the standard is horrendous and cheap ..Temu has a worrying reputation and are being investigated by the USA so hopefully they will be shut down… buy cheap buy twice…
I feel what you are saying. Personally the water bottle with mug and the wood stove I have some form of confidence but the rest seemed and felt cheap. Thank you for watching 😁
@bcamping1 I've got rid of that bag now. However, if I was to test the compacity of the pack. I'd get my over night kit with 48hrs worth of water and rations and a change of clothes.
Buy cheap, buy twice! It all looks like nasty Chinese tat from a company that jeopardises reputable companies, plus the R&D on future quality products. If you want to spend as little as possible on kit for a night in favourable conditions, then you've found the right company. For anyone serious about their long-term welfare in the great outdoors, look elsewhere. I prefer gear that is tried and tested, has stood the test of time, and won't fail when you are depending on it. I'm not being elitist, and everyone's budget is different, but I'd much rather wait, save up for longer then buy something that is reliable. Look at it as delayed gratification. Plus, if you care for it properly, it'll give you years of service. I'm still using kit I bought 40 years ago.
That was the the whole point of this vid. I wanted to see for my self and show people the quality of the equipment. You are right you get what you pay for. Thank you for your feedback 😊
I'm a bit of a kit snob, but I was wanting to trial out the opposite side of the spectrum. It is cheap but worth the money I spent. Thank you for your feed back
If you know what to buy and how to treat your equipment it will last. No gear will last forever. But yes certain things are trash you just need to know what to avoid but if you're ignorant that's on you 😂😂😂
The little pocket in the canteen case is for "Water purification tablet" bottle.
Nice one, thank you for your comment ☺️
Looking forward to seeing these used outdoors.

The stainless dish with the stove is for an alcohol burner. You can also use wood pellets with this stove. I have this one in my stove arsenal. 😁❤
Amazing, thank you for letting me know 👍
Canteen pouch pocket is for puritabs in a zippit bag 👍

iv got one them saws i got it from Germany its pretty decent iv used it for years with no problems

That sleeping bag isn't the best. Maybe good for an under blanket
great vid. Is it good value for money?
It's ok. Great starter kit. I need to do another one to see if anything has changed 😜
For what you got for 130 quid is not bad especially if you are a beginner I'm looking at spending about £100 on 100L DMP bergen and a tarp 😊
I swear by old army issue kit, literally bomb proof. I spent 15 years in the forces and still using old kit
@@greenvalleyoutdoors I always buy from ex Navy and army stores as I don't really like buying off the web two worried of being conned out of money
Stick to what you know. None of the temu equipment has anything on the surplus kit.
The little pocket on the water bottle cover is for purification tablets. The little steel plate may be for solid fuel blocks ( hexamine/esbit).
This makes a lot of sense. I used the bushbox so this type of burner is new to me.
Thank you for your feedback
Good haul! We watch with interest to see if half this stuff lasts the night or ends up on the fire - so far, it all looks bloody top notch.
I'm a firm believer in, you get what you pay for!
