Backpacking product recommendations
I don’t have any trips planned yet but my friends are eager to get me outside and try backpacking with them. I love hiking and camping so I’m absolutely open to it but it’s all so much. Money wise I’m not worried about it but I don’t know where to start. I have asked my friends questions and for support. with our current schedules it’s not easy but soon I know we’ll have more flexibility to go over everything. So in the meantime i would love to get started on my way with research.
So far, I have a backpack, sleeping pad and stove. It’s not much but it’s something. I’m really not sure for a tent. Do I get a 1 person, 2 person? I hear good things about msr and big Agnes but I saw sea to summit has tents and I already got my sleeping pad from them.
So essentially—can I get recommendations for items I can have without having to put friends out or share, specially on tents, cook wear, hygiene, sleeping bags
Light weight is great and assume there’s no cost barriers.
