>>266551it's the same thing in bikes, those expensive bikes and the gay clothing bikers wear makes the wear and tear on their body be less thereby allowing them to travel further and move faster.
As to expensive, I bought a 25l camelback for $30, a double hammock rated at 450lbs with mosquito netting for $25, DD XL tarp for $50, a $40 blizzard blanket that I wrap around the hammock like a peapod
basically what I have to sleep in

some of my stuff is heavier than it needs to be, like my tarp, but I enjoy the extra comfort it gives me on a rainy day
>>266553I don't have any of those things, only a $30 Nook Touch ereader and a PSP
I don't like wasting money on expensive junk, another thing to factor is the probability of theft or losing the gear so I don't like wasting a lot of money on a single item
