I tried surviving for 24h in Poundland as well, but they always kept throwing me out.

You should do a challenge where you have 5 minutes inside your house to grab everything unprepared, simulating an emergency situation, and you have to survive for 24 hours with just what you grabbed. That seems like a good challenge.

Not cheating at all using the firebowl.
So, found it interesting.
Hope you don't mind me giving my take on it..cooking the beans first would have given you another cooking pot.
Duct tape a bottle lid to a stick would have given you a small spoon.
The biggest thing, I think buying a roll of black bin bags was the thing most needed.
Duct tape a couple to your tarp to make it bigger.
Fill a couple with dry leaves and tape them shut. Keep the bugs inside lol.. Makes a good browse bag.
This type of challenge, bin bags and Duct tape should be default items. Waterproof clothing by the way too.

Absolutely creased at the water, and then your face when you saw the tarp 🤣🤣🤣

How about a charity shop survival challenge, where you find the things you need in charity shops.

I often notice guys in my local woods with Poundland carrier bags, nice to see it's catching on!

[BaseDeltaZero]

Regarding the fire bowl - Every inch of our woodlands needs to be cared for and respected. Totally on board with this bit of "cheating".

You say that enamel bowl doesn't have handles, but it does. It has two latches that, with two sticks THROUGH the latches from opposite sides, can make very good handles indeed.Wash it and the lid very well, and keep it for the next time. Thanks for the video. Jon

These challenges are interesting because you show different ways to solve basic camping problems. Most of us will have better items of equipment at home. So much can just be borrowed from our Mum's kitchen drawers. So many of us already have put together starter kits that will function well for many years. My TAKEAWAY: read the labels carefully. Buy pure water and the right size tarp. Take a 'right sized' pot and lid from home.

You are impressed with the brightness of the head lamp while I am impressed it worked out of the packet... better poundland experience than I've ever had 😂

[sarahkiki]

Imagine going for a little stroll with your family and finding some random guy sleeping under a little tarp 😂😂 surprised you didn’t wake up with some loose change on your blanket 😂

[glorfendell]

"I might as well roll myself up and cry myself to sleep" classic line. Loved the vid, thanks Mike.

[williamhowell]

A cheap vs expensive challenge to see which bushcraft items are better depending on the expense, would be fun to see and help other armature campers like myself 👍

[Gavinius]

That torch is insane! For £1.50, that’s really good! Great video Mike!

[soberirish]

You could add to this challenge by going back to the store and seeing how much you would have spend to have a "comfortable" night, like a decent size tarp and a spoon.

[funkyprepper]

Realy liked this trip out. Ive had similar cock ups with wet fires too. Its awesome that you left it in the video too. Says a lot for your character especially with the large following you have. Done well considering the flavoured water too. Top marks Mike 👌🏻

[highenergyog]

I’ve been watching and enjoying your antics for a few years now and I’ve never been disappointed, this video is awesome and I always look forward to the next adventure. Best regards as always from Lloyd somewhere across the pond in Ontario Canada.

After the first 24h, I wonder what you would need to do to survive another 24 hours to make 48, then another 48, etc. It might be like an interesting look at progression from survival to comfort.

[customfreak]

as soon as i saw the tarp i was wondering if you had clocked the size! I've bought a few of those poundland tarps but i mainly use them for lining the boot of the car or to throw on wet grass to give somewhere dry to sit or put gear to keep it off the wet ground.

[alloriginalpirates]

I was thinking the whole time you were talking about the water 'well yeah it would be a bit cloying and annoying but flavoured water for 24 hours is OK'. Then I remembered the pasta just as you brought it into shot. 😂
