Please remember if you are going to surf on AliExpress I always think BUYER BEWEAR. Do your homework on the best sellers and look at the reviews. It is more or less like Amazon or Temu and always protect yourself with PayPal …. Thank you.
I also saw a really good tarp shelter from aliexpress. It omly weighs around 350g and can be pitched using 2 trekking poles.and it provides much more shelter than a regular tarp because it only has 1 entrence opening which makes it much more wind and rain resistant.
Believe me we have used this everywhere if you feel like you could be cold we just take an extra base layer. It’s a great 3 season quilt but also what you can do is layer a sleeping bag with a quilt they sell that kind of system as well.
When it’s that cheap why not everything you see in our stores in the UK is from china anyway. But as I have said buyer beware do your homework on the best seller’s👍
Just found your channel, great tips. I've got a Lanshan 1 and 2 pro, they really are the best things on the list. Astonishingly good tents for the money.
Oh cheers thanks for the comment. Yeah I’m not a big channel but for me and Aaron that comes on the long hikes we’re all up for giving the truth to others and when we can the odd review.
Well I always where warm kit some kinda legging and Marino wool base layer but I can tell you that I have had this in some cold nights in fact I can say I had it during my last 2 adventures which were cold and wet I have also used this on the Cotswold way & the South Downs ua-cam.com/video/lfFd6a-fsXc/v-deo.htmlsi=z8Cw70uin-9r49br ua-cam.com/video/Yf5KLclVHRQ/v-deo.htmlsi=3AOogux1B117kULn
missing a water filter, poncho, umbrella head, sun hat, shoes cover, inflatable bed, mosquito bracelet, powerbank, walky talkie, vaseline for feet, multitool, noise horn, led string , vacuum bags, pump for the bags, inflatable pillow, noise plugs. Some I would add to this good video.
Not really maybe a £1 that’s about it it depends if your order many things from the same store within AliExpress Such as the 3f uk gear store or Naturehike store
All good items apart from the sunglasses. Cheap sunglasses are an absolute no no in my opinion. They are far worse than none at all as they allow you to gaze at the harmful rays but I would not be trusting chineseiam ratings on them where my eyes are concerned. In fact shades should never be cheaped out on ;)
Very good point. Actually as we speak I’m looking for a good pair of polarised glasses. But yes fair point. I only got them because of how cheep they were + thought I’d lose an expensive pair on the trail .
@@escapeoutdoors. I’d just head to somewhere like TK max if you don’t want to go crazy with cost. Grab any branded pair of whatever brand from Adidas to Guess to Puma, wouldn’t matter which. You can at least trust the ratings that way. I think even brands like Bolle won’t break the bank if you don’t want to wear your Ray Bans etc while hitting the hills.
On the understanding that these are just very cheap products and the fact we are highly taxed in this country why not. Also everything is manufactured in the east ( china ) all I did was cut the middle man out. But going even deeper if China was to go into it recession the whole world economy breaks down that means every job in the UK that is relying on there manufacturing is at risk. The horrible thing is the UK has sold everything off to china years ago it’s just a matter of time before we stop manufacturing anything. But all in all it’s cheap. & the sad thing is we live in a throw away society which scares me even more ( knock on effect )more pollution more damage to nature. Your question is a good question & I know what you mean but again Alixpress is a store the same as Gooutdoors but where do you think there products are made. Just a thought 💭

Wow you have kind of opened my eyes to extremely cheap backpacking equipment. I’ll give it a look at now cheers.
No worries happy to help have a surf around but look for the best sellers as well.
@@escapeoutdoors. so it’s similar to Amazon. As in looking for the best feedback of the bast sellers.

Sounds cool I’ll have to have a sneak peek don’t tell the wife . 😂
link?
That quilt looks an especially great catch! Seems to loft fairly well and is a tempting purchase for me :P

They're great. I use one for hammock camping. Great quality, warm, lightweight and 1/3 of the price of a thermarest or sea to summit top quilt.
@@lahawksley yeah your right I haven’t used anything else in a while
Great video! I just ordered 6 camping related items for $21 shipped! {Trowel, reflector tape, compass, bags, trangia stove, and headlamp}

Excellent suggestions. Thanks for putting up this video. 👍
My pleasure 🤜🏼🤛🏻

@@escapeoutdoors. ok thanks
I thought AliExpress was dodgy and you’re not affiliated fair enough. Cheers for the review. 👍
NO . No affiliation with AliExpress I just don’t like getting ripped off by our uk tax so I do my research into everything.🤙🏼
@@escapeoutdoors. Great ok cheers.

Ah now they are from a different store. We will get into that soon
Do you get stung with VAT and import tax from Ali Express?

Why are you keen to promote products from other countries?
