So I have this idea for a thread where clueless people can ask for advice about gear in a single place and for people to discuss which things are best for which situations and which goals.
Since we all have different goals and we are going to different environments, then it'd be good to specify where are you going, what are you worried about, and if there are better alternatives for what might seem standard stuff (eg tent vs tarp, sleeping bag vs quilt, etc).
