If you're backpacking alone, you can get a decent (and much lighter) solo tent for not much more than that behemoth.

Also, if you want someone relatively well versed in this sort of gear, Dicks is not the place to go. You're in WV, in close proximity to appalachia, there HAS to be a decent outfitter in your area that would have better packs and more knowledge on what to look for.

And if budget is the #1 priority, keep an eye out on Craigslist, look around on GearSwap, and hunt around in the classifieds on boards such as this. You can get lightly used quality gear at the same price as you'd pay for crummy gear at a big-box store like Dicks.
