All of my shitty Walmart/Amazon starter gear is falling apart from wear and tear. What's the next step up without paying 300 dollars for a tent?

I forgot to clarify that I'm referring to backpacking gear.

REI's Dome series is pretty good for summer camping. If you want to save a lot of money you can just get a tarp and some stakes and paracord.

Milsurp. Similar price to amazon stuff, but will last much longer. A 1-2 person US army tent should be around 150€ in europe, and probably cheaper in the US. Or take the tarp pill and get a silnylon tarp (for example, mine is ex UK army and was 30€).
For packs, you can't beat the old Alice packs, or any of it's molle-compatible variants (the cheapest being a medium Molle pack on an Alice frame).
For sleeping bags, Carinthia def 4 + Tropen in EU, or MSS in in the US.
Most other gear (cooking vessels, drinking bottles, stoves, flashlights etc) the chink shit is good enough.

get a job at a outdoors store, even part time and you will get a 25% to 35% discount on stuff. The store I work at even holds "employee sales" where our discount stacks onto the items already marked down. those discounts can be from 50% 80%. Ive got great gear that normally would have been out of my price range. Also the brands like Osprey, Patagonia, etc come with a life time warranty no matter what, so while pricey sometimes, you only have to buy them once. think of the whole "it's expensive to be poor" idea.

also youll meet other /out/ types, just dont let them know youre an anon til your sure they are too.
