I went backpacking with ONLY budget backpacking gear from Walmart! This is the fourth video in my series testing budget gear from major outdoor brands, and this time I'm testing gear from the largest retailer in America - Walmart! The Walmart brand of outdoor products is called Ozark Trail, and the gear they make is some of the most affordable backpacking gear on the market. But is it any good? I took out a full kit of budget Walmart gear for a night of backpacking deep in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness to find out! I got hit with wind, rain, hail and snow. Watch the video to see how well this budget gear held up! 😉
