I've been commenting here for two years working on getting into better and better shape and finally able to go on a back packing trip. Outside of hiking boots and comfy wool socks and a rain jacket, I have zero fucking gear but a budget of $1k or so to spend during REI's bullshit sale.
Where do I even start on finding whats the best option for me? I live in the PNW. I hike 2-3 times a week and can probably do a good 10 or so miles without being exhausted. Do I go for a 2p tent? How many liters in a backpack is a good amount? So fucking lost. Should this be its own thread?
