newfag lurker here. came to out for some comfy camping pics and i fell in love with what ive seen.
im planning a 5 day backpacking trip and need gear, i thought about buying what walmart has (ozark trail and coleman brands), not sure how these brands would hold up for innawoods, so id like some input from anons with experience on what to buy. i have about $300 cash to spend on all the gear i need, excluding food.

location im planning for are the smokey mountains, but im open to any suggestions somewhat close to So,indiana
