OregonMouse member Registered: 02/03/06 Posts: 6800 Loc: Gateway to Columbia Gorge	Welcome! If you haven't already found them, there are lots of excellent how-to articles for beginners and on gear selection listed in the left-hand column of http://www.backpacking.net/, the home page of this site. Another good site for gear selection is Mark Verber's website. Lots of ideas for gear, including low-budget alternatives.
