Hea DL loved your video. Way to make what you got work for you.
There are lots of DIY projects out there to help you build your equipment list for very little money.
There are pop can alky stoves and accessories, goodwill stores carry tons of clothing for camping.
Heck you could even make you own hammock for next to nothing. Check this thread out.

Something I really enjoy doing, and I do this 3-4 days out of the week I'm retired, is to take my bike, pack a lunch, my hammock, a good book an alky stove
with some instant coffee and ride to a local park and hang the hammock eat my lunch read a little then make a cup of coffee and ride home.
I'll usually take the long way home.

I'm pretty good at DIY camping gear let me know if I can help.

Congratulations, man! There's no difference how far or how fast did you go, or what equipment did you used. What really important is adventure and exploration. And if your bike has two wheels and pedals then it's capable of going anywhere.
Yeah, some gear will make your journey easier if you wanna spend a lot. Otherwise use what you have, be creative and have fun.
Waiting for your  next trip report
