Hey! I've never done an overnight backpacking trip in my life and would really like to get in to it this summer. Only problem is I'm poor as fuck. The only two things I think I really need are a bigger backpack and a mess kit, everything else I believe I already have. For the backpack I was thinking of getting this
https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/used-us-military-surplus-large-alice-pack-with-metal-frame?a=721849It's the same product as in the picture. It's very affordable, and the reviews are very positive. Does it seem like an adequate bag for a first timer?
As for the mess kit I was looking at this on amazon

Please let me know what you think
If any of you could give me thoughts on what I have selected and also maybe provide me with some other similarly priced products that may be better, that'd be great! Thanks for the help!
