Stanco Grease Pot from Amazon is well regarded for lightweight and cheap.
I wouldn't cheap out on a pan. The GSI Pinnacle 8" is good quality and the MSR skillet is also worth the money.
I personally prefer double hammocks just for myself (eno and grand trunk both make great gear that will last). However, if you are looking just for a "starter kit," here are some very cheap camping hammocks that should suffice for the trip. As for putting your boys in the same hammock, I would not recommend. Even with a double it becomes very cramped and uncomfortable with two people. However, stacking one on top of another is a great way to keep them close and still leaving each their own. Keep in mind that straps may not come with the hammock.
>What item of clothing is this for?
i have different pieces who had dwr or similar, Burton oak hoodie, Nano air, columbia anorak who i cant remember name. Do they have dwr coating or its a texile quality? for example the burton oak cant repel water no more as it used to do, is it gone or i can use that nikwax on it?

Depending on your style, I like this for many reasons. It gets a shitload of use from me between jumping my jeep occasionally, and pumping up my tires, and charging devices. AND the light.
Something like this that plugs into a quality power bank is probably going to be better for your needs. A lot of lanterns just aren't going to have the power storage to charge your phone and still be a working light. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077TBSRSB/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_Q3JRJRMTX638DYEPTGZQ
I go winter camping every year and have slowly upgraded my sleeping bag and air mattress. If you're looking at higher quality, this Teton XXL sleeping bag is rated to -35 deg F and is nice and spacious. I'd also suggest an insulated air mattress that self inflates if you can afford it. The one below has an R value of 6, so it helps to insulate you from the cold ground.
I've used both of these items in 0 deg F weather and didn't need to layer.

Other considerations Fleece pajama pants Fleece base layer shirt - see REI, Duluth, etc Wool socks A warm hat - I like the beanie style I unroll so it covers my eyes. Really cold night? Toss a few hand warmers at the base of your sleeping bag.
Is everything okay that you're sleeping in a shed?
30 oz will last me all morning. In a vacuum insulated cup it stays burning hot all day. I don't have a pic, but here is a link to tinkercad where you can view in 3d. tinkercad
I go winter camping every year for over 10 years. Not a woman, but I always get cold. Diabetes playing a role likely. A few years ago I upgraded to a heavy, big (I'm tall) sleeping bag by Teton. Never slept better.
Some tips. Wear fresh thick socks. New pair for bed. Put on thicker pants. Hand warmers in the base help too. Throw your jacket over your feet too if needed.
I like exofficio's boxer briefs: https://www.amazon.com/ExOfficio-Give-N-Go-Travel-Drying-Charcoal/dp/B078QLHLL5?th=1&psc=1
Hmm. I wear out the tread or sole on my shoes long before the heel, so I don’t experience the exact same issue.
Maybe try using a heel insert. If that is the part deteriorating fastest, maybe you can extend its life. You could try something like this..

Yeah the sides are all mesh. But it’s a pretty tough almost Kevlar feeling mesh. I’m pretty sure they’re made to drain water quick. There’s lots of good info in the reviews and customer questions on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Salomon-Forces-Jungle-Ultra/dp/B01N7Z08YQ
One of these, or similar, small, lightweight and work extremely well, paid it with a powerbank or two to collect juice whilst on the move or camped, then use the powerbanks to charge things, and run USB type lights etc from.

I used to have this 25W solar charger. It has 4 very nice solar panels making it very efficient, it's capable of charging up to 2 devices at the same time. It has a magnetic latch that automatically keeps the charger closed and the solar panels protected. There also comes with 4 carabiner and a micro USB cord.
They typically run on the 230gm canisters easily found on amazon. I'm not really sure what would be available in the Philippines. Example here
I got the North Face Terra 65. It's good, I like it. Lots of space, good looking, feels great but is a bit heavy. I really hate that there aren't any straps attached at the bottom for my Z-Lite sleeping pad (it's foam so rather bulky and doesn't fit inside the pack). It has 4 loops though so I guess I could attach some things down there with paracord or other things. You can still attach your pad at the sides or use both side straps to attach it at the front (thats what I do).
If I had the budget I would have gotten an Osprey though. But the North Face is definitely not bad. If you can only go as far as 150bucks, I'd recommend this pack. Some websites sell it for as low as 115 bucks at the moment. I paid 125€.
We have the Coleman Roadtrip. We're limited on space so we never bring it camping, used it for grilling out at our apartment. Works great, but it doesn't fold flat to the ground so it is hard to pack. If I got one again, I'd get the Roadtrip LXE . My father in law has it and brings it along. It has two burners for more control, side tables for prep, and you can change out the grate for a griddle.
Since I'm limited on packing space I just use an over the fire grill grate. Works great, and it's cheap. The more expensive models come with a grill and griddle. over fire grill
How about this one with a comfort temperature range of 32-60°F? And another one that is good for 40-60 Degree. The lining is made of polyester. It coulde soft and comfortable.
I used to have this one during my last summer vacation. It worked well for my boyfriend and me. It could support up to 150kg / 330lbs.
I prefer the one that is portable and lightweight. I used to have this one, it is not the best flashlight I have bought. But it weights only 315g, making it easy to slip into breast or jeans pocket without adding bulk. And its charging option is a nice thing to have when your power goes down.
Thank you. Its funny but I didn't really look at the size on the non personal ones because I assumed they'd be much bigger. I'm assuming that you're referring to this product, right?
I have the Klymit Insulated Static V Recon and have been happy with it. I've used it down to about 0c (32f ?).
It's a little less expensive if you don't mind the blaze orange. But overall fairly competitive compared to brands like ThermaRest. https://www.amazon.com/Klymit-Insulated-Static-Sleeping-Orange/dp/B00ANRW7DI
Check out this comparison of sleeping pads with R values and other stats, it might help you find the right combo for your needs if the Klymit doesn't interest you. http://sectionhiker.com/sleeping-pad-r-values/
If you want a camera that can do all of that stuff - get a GoPro. If you don't want a GoPro, I think your best option is to get a camera and a pelican case. I'm referring to something like this.
Thank you! I forgot to research nightly Temps but figured they couldn't be that cold that I'd need a specifically rated temperature sleeping bag. Now all I need to do is find a nice comfortable bag that folds down to a nice compact size.
Something along the lines of this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D87XB3Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XYmkyb43X8EMS
Thank you all for the feedback. I think I'm good on the light front now, I've decided to take my time and find the right pocket knife (I like both the Gerber Air Ranger and Kershaw Chive). Since my camping trip is just shy of two weeks out, I've decided to get a cheaper knife to keep with my camping gear. I could use some opinions between the two finalist
1 - Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade Outdoor Knife with Carbon Steel Blade I found this when searching for the Mora Eldris. Seems like a fantastic knife with the only drawback being the fact that's not a folder.
2 - Opinel folding knife I'm not sure which number of knife I'd like, but they all seem pretty nice quality with solid reviews. Folding seems nice, but I'm sure it's not quite as substantial as a blade as the Mora.
I have to agree that a 2 person tent is the best way to go. One man tents are tiny. Also, I would suggest going with the least expensive shelter you can find and putting your money into a better sleeping bag. Much better investment, as the sleeping bag is your true warmth. Nearly any tent will keep the water off of you.

I really like the Supernova Orion Ultimate Survival Rechargeable LED Lantern and Power Bank. It uses both rechargeable and AA batteries and even has a port to charge a USB device. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R5N4BOQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

But I don't know that these lights are actually 500 lumens .. if they were that would be pretty good but they seem to be about 200 actual lumens or equal to a 25watt incandescent house light.
