I prefer Wise Owl if you're looking for something on Amazon that's more affordable than ENO

I ended up getting their bug net and tarp too

I have been buying my gear with intentions to use it for both backpacking and bikepacking. I can share some of what I have learned so far and some tips to help.

I second what everyone has been saying. If you don’t have an REI co-op membership (25$ for lifetime) get one. It will pay for itself in no time.

REI usually has a big sale in the spring for members. You get 20% off one full priced item and 20% off of one outlet item. If there’s any big ticket items you can wait to buy until then that might help also.

Hammock camping:

Also you’ll want the tarp, under quilt and big net.

Tent camping:

I borrowed this tent from someone recently and I was impressed with it. It got a fair amount of condensation but that didn’t get inside. Did not get to test in a downpour.

Backpacks- I have an Osprey Ariel Plus 60. I paid a lot for it because I plan to use it on a big backpacking trip in a few years. I also have a lot of consideration to REI Flash 55.

I have a Nemo Disco 20 sleeping bag, lots of folks are using quilts to save weight. I can’t recommend any budget quilts as I don’t have experience with them.

Sawyer Squeeze water filter (40$) and a smart water bottle makes a cheap filtration system.

Headlamp:

(I know this is Walmart, but I have had an older model of this and used it for lots of different things including stage tech work for about 8 years now and it’s held up so I can vouch for it)
