New $300 gear challenge from Mags. - 01/09/19 03:22 PM
PMags has updated his $300 gear challenge for frugal backpackers (especially beginners with not much money). It's a good basic list for beginners: slightly under $300 and under 15 lbs. base weight.
The Frugal Backpacker--$300 Gear Challenge--updated January 2019
Note that he has omitted thrift shop bargains, sales, used gear, because those often can't be duplicated. By shopping those possibilities, you may be able to save more or get higher quality gear. PMags includes possible upgrades.
