So here's the deal, I've never done any hikes longer than a few days, and am planning on going on a trip that could last up to 4 weeks or so. We're planning on going from Idaho to Seattle (or at least North Bend) beginning early June. My problem is, I have no gear whatsoever for this, not much knowledge about the needed gear, and a somewhat limited budget.
So, I'm hoping that someone here could help me out with some gear suggestions that will keep me fairly low on weight and not hit the wallet too hard. I'm trying to keep under $400 or $500 tops. I need boots, small tent (1 or 2 people), and a decent pack. Any suggestions at all would be really helpful!
Thanks!
