whats the gear you absolutely refuse to upgrade even though it might be cheap
honestly, get starting with camping is almost a full-time job for my wallet. every time I see gear review for some product on youtube, feels like i need to take out a bank loan just to go sleep outside in the dirt. no doubt we all know the golden rule: spend good money on a tent and sleeping bag so you don't wake up freezing and lying in puddle. but there has to be some cheap stuff we all secretly love.
mine is a cheap 5$ pad made out of blue foam rubber, that I cut up to carry around with me as an "extra seat." i have bought several of those low-slung, compamy cheap foam square never fails me and weighs almost nothing.
What is your favorite piece of gear that you bought cheap but is actually works perfectly. share your best realistic budget hacks with me i am going for camping next weekend. #activity #camping source
