cheapo 'biners i get as promotional gift, same with collapsable water bottles. i've got a box i rotate through of those bottles
and i think that is everything, excluding misc. things that i hand make and use that i do not remember.
So under $150 probably, but i've probably spent a thousand on things i've used and broke, lost, thrown away, don't use. I've got 2 other packs, an internal and an external, for long, and extra long treks. (read as week-2 week, to over a month) and that has my fancy gear which must be over $500.
