>>2555805Dude don't feel bad you can't afford all this shit people say you need. I never spend a fuck ton of money on gear. Most of my hiking bags are used army bags from army/navy stores or something I've found at goodwill. I don't spend long 7 nights camping in but i frequent isolated places. You can find good shit that's cheap if you look hard enough. Also, get in google maps and find places no one goes close to your home. You will be amazed at what you find. I dunno just my thoughts.
