>>2645774There used to be threads about this popping up all the time on various boards before Amazon existed. The big 3 were always the issue. Now you can find a sheep tarp and a bug net for well under $100. Prior to all of this dirt cheap gear you had to either make your own, wait for a sale that might never come, or hope you could find something used.
Just from a cursory glance:
>any 10x10 tarp on Amazon$40 (I’ve seen them as low as $25)
>bug bivy from Walmart$25
>Chinese 50L pack from Amazon, plenty to chose fromUnder $50, but let’s round up to $70
>sleeping bagJust search “mummy sleeping bag” on Amazon and there are like a dozen under $50.
>CCF padWhat, $5?
Nearly everything else is incidental; stuff you probably have, could go without, or could go very cheap/disposable. If someone is poor they can take a $1 disposable poncho and maybe be ok this one time, sort of. Wear whatever knock around shoes they have. They probably own gym clothes.
