Getting the right camping gear need not be a huge expense.
Here are some quick money-saving tips that you can use today to
make sure you have the right equipment for your camping trip
without breaking the budget.
Visit online auction sites like Ebay where you’ll be able to
pick most of the things you need at a fraction of the cost. Make
sure before you place any bids on auctions that you check out
the seller’s feedback. Purchases done via Paypal are also
covered by Paypal’s Buyer Protection.
Look at your local newspapers often to find out if there are any
offline auctions soon where camping items will feature at
bargain prices.
Visit garage sales in your area where you could easily pick up
tents, air mattresses, air pumps etc at really low prices.
Buy local trading magazines/newspapers where people advertise
their second hand items cheaply. Also look for the items listed
in “freebies” and look out for people who may be willing to
trade something of theirs for something of yours.
Contact some scout halls in your local area. They often upgrade
their camping equipment and are often happy to sell their second
hand equipment at cheap prices.
Visit amazon.com where people
sell their camping items relatively cheaply.
Visit your local army surplus store for equipment specials.
Surf the internet regularly for great camping specials,
including free shipping.
Below are a few online stores that offer free shipping to their
customers. Conditions may apply.
http://www.paragonsports.com offers Free Shipping on all

http://www.usoutdoorstore.com offers free shipping and no

There’s no need to pay full price for camping gear when there
are so many online businesses offering serious discounts to its
visitors.
http://www.BackCountryOutlet.com regularly offers up to 70%
off brand name camping gear.
http://www.rei-outlet.com

closeouts with discounts of 20-70% for its visitors.
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com is America’s ultimate
shooting sports discounter.
http://www.wildDay.com is
Europe’s leading online retailer of outdoor equipment and

Keep an eye on your wallet by keeping an eye out for the best
petrol prices and cars with low mileage costs.
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ is a government website listing
mileage rates for vehicles going as far back as 1985.
This is not where your savings end. It is possible to find
camping gear free. Without a doubt, the best place to find
camping gear for FREE is to ask your family and friends if you
can borrow it. Usually most people won’t have a problem with
that and if you are forced to do a “trade” of some kind so that
you can use their items accept it as better than having to
physically pay money for it and come to a mutually acceptable
arrangement between you.
So there you have it. Camping need not be expensive. I’ve shared
with you the many places you can go to, starting today, where
you will be able to get camping gear for a fraction of its
original price or, even better, free. So what are you waiting
for! With such a ready supply of discount camping equipment,
camping on a budget has never been easier.
