12 Ways To Get Started Camping On The Cheap 1. Buy used camping gear. 2. Borrow camping gear to try out a brand from a store or friend or relative 3. Buy gear at a flea market, garage sale or thrift store 4. Look for great buys on camping gear on Craigs List 5. Search and bid on gear on ebay 6. Buy gear in September and October when it is half a year or more before it will be used again - people part with possessions they are using the least - often at firesale prices 7. Find a big company closeout sale, and wait til the last minute, when they are practically giving the inventory away. 8. Check for local camping clubs or other organizations that might have used gear for sale by their members. 9. Check your local Army Surplus store and other warehouse outlets. 10.Don't be afraid to improvise (eg. those expensive tent stakes? make your own!) 11.Create your own camping gear from existing possessions. 12.If you have freecycle.org in your city, use it! Camping gear does show up on that site!
