>>2659741I said I took prices from REI and selected mid-tier gear. And yes that is the fucking point you missed, retard. I am deliberately pretending to be a newfag who has no idea what gear is "supposed to cost" and with a only a vague idea about how big they should be aiming or how to get anything cheaply, so that dumbasses like you can understand how a gear for a hiking class could hypothetically require more than $2,000 worth of gear.
I could have EASILY posted the same list of gear with far more expensive options.
