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!
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.
Hahaha yeah last time so many people said their Walmarts didn’t have much of a camping selection so this stuff should be much easier to find. 😎🤙🏽 Also, this time the camera stabilization setting actually worked! 🤗🙄🤦🏻♂️😂
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.
Thanks 😊 And nice!!!! 😃🤙🏽 I do the same thing! I make little survival kits out of them haha they’re the best! Actually have a video up on the channel showing how I put them together. 👊🏽😁
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@therevdr128 Must be an older one I guess, but hey if you really wanted to you could probably find anything shown here or anything else for that matter on their app or website too. 😊🤙🏽
@@WhereWeWild I must say, I walked by those cheap bowls and plates etc. probably a 100 times and just thought how cheap they were. Then I saw one of your older videos about your camp kitchen box and felt foolish for not thinking of them for camping. They are perfect. There is always something to learn, or at least see differently. Thank you.
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!!❤
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.
Thanks man appreciate it! 👊🏽😃 And yeah that’s a great great point and good for people to know for sure. 550 is the static load, and it should hold pretty close to that in a fixed or “static” position, but the “working load” on 550 is usually like 110-150ish depending on quality, and a hammock is a great example of looking at that working load rating because it’s that sudden drop type movement when you get on a hammock that can cause it to snap at the working load, so for jobs like that you definitely want to get a stronger line or double up like you said. Great point. Thanks for pointing it out. 👊🏽😎🤙🏽
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!!
Thanks 😊 And that’s cool, kind of like backpacking where you just have to be more creative and figure out how to travel super light which can be a fun challenge. A few of these ideas should still fly for ya 🤙🏽
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.
Yeah those things are way too easy to trip over 😂 Even just having a little piece of the pool noodle at the bottom of the line makes a huge difference 😊🤙🏽
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.
Yeah paracord is tricky. Actually believe it or not that stuff does have the 7 strands inside of it but if you look closely at the package it says 110lb max load. This is because the static load rating on paracord is different from the working load rating. So like if 550 is tied to something fixed and still or “static” it can hold 550lbs ish depending on quality, but if it’s yanked hard quickly like for repelling, or jumping on a hammock, or something like that it’s most likely going to snap at it’s working load. Which on 550 is usually around 100-150lbs depending on quality. So for any of those types of jobs you want to go with a thicker 1100 paracord say for example where the working load would be around 200-300lbs. Or you can double or triple up on your 550. 😊🤙🏽
Yeah some don’t for sure… that’s why I made sure to mention that. 😊 It’s usually the bugs that can be inside the wood they are concerned with that might not be native to the area you’re traveling to. Just have to check before your trip 🤙🏽
That was over by the hardware and paint sections. Not really sure if it’s any good or not, but if you’re interested we have a couple similar ones in our Amazon shop that are decent you can check out. The shop link is in the video description and also in the pinned comment, and they’re in the “survival gear” list in the I believe. 😊🤙🏽
@@WhereWeWild I don’t do Amazon. I accidentally broke into a strangers account once. Called them told them about the security breach, and then found that they still didn’t fix it a day later. If your security is so lucy goosy that idiots can accidentally break in, I’m not giving you my debit card number.
@@AwesomeSauce-ex3ok Oh really? We’ve never ever had a problem like that in years and years on there 🤷🏻♂️ Knock wood 🪵😂 Also if we ever did, I guess all it would really take is a quick call to the bank. Let us know if you get the one from Walmart would love to hear if it’s any good! 😊
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 🤷♂️
Hahaha hey look there is no shame in bringing anything you want to bring if it’s going to make you feel comfortable out there and have a better experience. Whether you enjoy building survival shelters out of sticks and rocks or pulling up in a massive RV with all the comforts of home, to each their own. The important part is that you’re going. 🌲🏔️☺️🤙🏽
You may be able to buy tarps in hardware/automotive departments. Alternative bedding may be foam pads in the excersize/sports section with the balls and yoga gear. Also, check out the bicycle 🚲 section. Do you have a sports section? It may not be a "camping" ⛺ department per se, but there's also the fishing 🎣 department. If you only have groceries at your Walmart, there's always the $🌳. Cheap & junky, but sometimes that's all you need. A shower curtain may be used for: 1). A poncho 2). Dragging heavy items over snow or non-abrasive surface, like open field where there is mostly grass/weeds. 3.) An overnight shelter/lean-to, altho the holes may need to be reinforced. 4.) An under-bedding/sleeping bag vapor barrier to keep damp from soaking your bedding. 5.) An in-between the covers air barrier if it's especially windy & frigid weather. On & on I could go. And so many products have multiple uses.
Let's be realistic.... Cheaper yes but definitely not 1/2 the price.... I own a few things shown like the knife spoon and fork and the plastic dishes and bowls and while prices have gone up slightly they certainly weren't half the cost..... Actually the plates/ bowls are the same price they have always been
Hahaha no people were saying that their camping sections weren’t as big and well stocked as ours! 😁 They all have the camping section but apparently some are just much better than others.
Can’t really think of one product in this video where I’d be worried about quality 🤷🏻♂️😂 Plastic bins, bottles and bowls, pool noodles, Fritos, rice, lighters, wood, charcoal, rope, duct tape, fire extinguishers, foil, garbage bags, board games??? Lol like what type of quality you looking for out of that kind of stuff? 😃 Haha and the bigger stuff like the Lodge cast irons and Aeropress are solid quality. 😎🤙🏽
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.
@@WhereWeWild yes it did. I'm am old dog and I've watched it happening. Complaining the whole time. That's what we old farts do. Lol It's too late to turn around now. We're over a barrel.
@@timarcher1524 Yeah it’s pretty crazy to think about. I remember as a kid growing up in a small town there were tons of little shops, one in particular was this awesome little sporting goods store that some family friends owned and they had to shut it down once they started opening the big sporting goods stores nearby like Sports Authority or Dick’s. Can’t even imagine how anyone manages to keeps a small store like that open today. Now, some of those BIG stores that replaced the small stores long ago are having to close because they are the ones who can’t compete now with sites like Amazon. Pretty nuts.

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.

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.

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.

Real paracord has 7 inner nylon strands that are each rated at 50lbs. The outer sheath is rated at 200lbs.

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.

@@WhereWeWild I don’t do Amazon. I accidentally broke into a strangers account once. Called them told them about the security breach, and then found that they still didn’t fix it a day later. If your security is so lucy goosy that idiots can accidentally break in, I’m not giving you my debit card number.
@@AwesomeSauce-ex3ok Oh really? We’ve never ever had a problem like that in years and years on there 🤷🏻♂️ Knock wood 🪵😂 Also if we ever did, I guess all it would really take is a quick call to the bank. Let us know if you get the one from Walmart would love to hear if it’s any good! 😊
Actually very good info!!
Haha we try 🤷🏻♂️😊🤙🏽
Awesome ideas how about a camping trip
Thanks we’re working on it 😊🤙🏽
go with bamboo for cutting boards not plastic
We have a few 😊🤙🏽
Your WM Looks awesome! Ours is hardly ever stocked:(
Oh really. 😕 Yeah this is a decent one for sure, we have another one by us too that is smaller and not as stocked also.

Very glad to hear it! Thanks for watching 😊🤙🏽
Be careful about the silicon shampoo bottles - sometimes certain chemicals will negatively react, turning the bottle slimy
Obviously should wash them out well too 👍🏽
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 🤷♂️
Hahaha hey look there is no shame in bringing anything you want to bring if it’s going to make you feel comfortable out there and have a better experience. Whether you enjoy building survival shelters out of sticks and rocks or pulling up in a massive RV with all the comforts of home, to each their own. The important part is that you’re going. 🌲🏔️☺️🤙🏽
I thought we were going to talk about camping gear like tarp tents and alternative bedding and seating.
Nope. All that stuff was in the video where we went into Walmart camping section. 😎🤙🏽 This one was about all the stuff that’s not in that section! 😊
You may be able to buy tarps in hardware/automotive departments. Alternative bedding may be foam pads in the excersize/sports section with the balls and yoga gear. Also, check out the bicycle 🚲 section. Do you have a sports section? It may not be a "camping" ⛺ department per se, but there's also the fishing 🎣 department. If you only have groceries at your Walmart, there's always the $🌳. Cheap & junky, but sometimes that's all you need. A shower curtain may be used for: 1). A poncho 2). Dragging heavy items over snow or non-abrasive surface, like open field where there is mostly grass/weeds. 3.) An overnight shelter/lean-to, altho the holes may need to be reinforced.
4.) An under-bedding/sleeping bag vapor barrier to keep damp from soaking your bedding. 5.) An in-between the covers air barrier if it's especially windy & frigid weather. On & on I could go. And so many products have multiple uses.
I seldom bought camping gear from the camping section. I t was much cheaper to get stuff from other departments in the store.
👊🏽😎
Those prices……..3 years ago were half that! Scary stuff
Yeah it’s nuts 🤦🏻♂️
Let's be realistic.... Cheaper yes but definitely not 1/2 the price.... I own a few things shown like the knife spoon and fork and the plastic dishes and bowls and while prices have gone up slightly they certainly weren't half the cost..... Actually the plates/ bowls are the same price they have always been
I subscribed because of the corny "flamin hot" joke. Haha see what I did there 😂
I mean they are corn chips 😎😁🤙🏽 Hahaha thanks welcome to the channel we appreciate the support ☺️
I've never seen a Walmart without a camping section.
Hahaha no people were saying that their camping sections weren’t as big and well stocked as ours! 😁 They all have the camping section but apparently some are just much better than others.
🌷Thank You🌻
You’re welcome ☺️🤙🏽
Potato/Corn Chips are too expensive nowadays.
Haha ugh man a lot of things are too expensive nowadays. 🤦🏻♂️😂
The Sherpa just left the store screaming.
🤷🏻♂️😂
*cries in Canadian Prices*
All products shown are cheaper in price and quality . Straight facts
Can’t really think of one product in this video where I’d be worried about quality 🤷🏻♂️😂 Plastic bins, bottles and bowls, pool noodles, Fritos, rice, lighters, wood, charcoal, rope, duct tape, fire extinguishers, foil, garbage bags, board games??? Lol like what type of quality you looking for out of that kind of stuff? 😃 Haha and the bigger stuff like the Lodge cast irons and Aeropress are solid quality. 😎🤙🏽
Ridgid cases the.💣
Walmart fire not good smoked like hell. Find wood bought from the parks store way way better.
Sounds like it was wet.
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.
Yeah. 😕 Seems like that happened a loooooong time ago.
@@WhereWeWild yes it did.
I'm am old dog and I've watched it happening. Complaining the whole time.
That's what we old farts do. Lol
It's too late to turn around now.
We're over a barrel.
@@timarcher1524 Yeah it’s pretty crazy to think about. I remember as a kid growing up in a small town there were tons of little shops, one in particular was this awesome little sporting goods store that some family friends owned and they had to shut it down once they started opening the big sporting goods stores nearby like Sports Authority or Dick’s. Can’t even imagine how anyone manages to keeps a small store like that open today. Now, some of those BIG stores that replaced the small stores long ago are having to close because they are the ones who can’t compete now with sites like Amazon. Pretty nuts.
...what kinda rinkydink Wal-Mart doesn't have a camping section?
Haha I think they do, but so many people reported that theirs was extremely small and didn’t have the amount of stuff ours did when we showed it.
Some people mistake the Walmart Neighborhood stores with the supercenters.
Lol, hopeless
What is 🤷🏻♂️😁
FYI Camping section at Walmart is usually Right next to Automotive section
And fishing section 😎🤙🏽
