Hey everyone. I just recently joined the forum. I am brand new to backpacking and have a couple questions I need some help with.

I am planning a couple of trips during the summer, after I am done with my classes. I was wondering if it is at all possible to find a proper 3 day pack, and a 2 person tent for around $200.

I have been doing a lot of research and browsing stores, both online and local and it seems that most packs online run $200+.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
