agreed. dont skimp on your sleeping pad and sleeping bag. i have only been backpacking for around 4 years, and can say dont be in a rush to buy all new gear at once (other than the fact that you might have to because you simply dont have any gear yet).

my first year i bought a nice 65L pack (teton sports mountain adventurer 4000). i have friends with Ospreys and Gregory packs and others that are more expensive but i have been VERY impressed with the weight, price, and durability of Teton gear. the quintessential backpack most well known i think is the Osprey Atmos 65 AG. but its going to cost about $100 more than the Teton.

my second year i had learned my lesson and upgraded my sleeping pad and sleeping bag. i got a Sierra Designs Zissou 20 degree down bag and a Big Agnes Insulated Air Core sleeping pad. the difference i experienced that year was night and day having quality sleeping gear.

my third year i learned what clothing i did/didnt need, and how important a quality water filter is. i had been using the Sawyer mini but it just wasnt cutting it (look up vidoes of how big a pain it is to fill the little squeeze bag in shallow water). i invested in an MSR MiniWorks EX and am so glad i did. that thing is a beast and despite having to clean it in the field maybe more often than some other filters, i know that it is getting all the crap out of my water so it is worth it to me.

this year im investing in a better cook kit, etc. you get the picture

the key for me has been that i always hike with two other friends of mine. they have gear that i dont have and vice versa. so i dont need to run out and buy everything all at once. i would encourage you to find some people you can go with and share gear with. that way you can hear what other people like/dont like and try stuff out yourself. my buddy bought a Kelty 1-person tent that is super light weight and bragged all about it. when i saw him set it up i understood why it was so light...its the smallest tent i have ever seen. and that works for him. but for me i always carry a two person tent because i like the extra room. i have a Kelty Salida 2 person tent which weighs about 4.5 lbs and is awesome. had i not seen his 1-person tent i might have been tempted to get that based on weight.

either way, walmart and amazon are fine for a lot of things (cook pots, spoons, mugs, headlamps, long johns, socks, gloves, hats, knives, first aid kits, etc). but when it comes to the essentials (sleeping, main layers in cold weather like a down coat or good rain gear, boots, stoves, packs) you need to realize its an investment not an expenditure. buy nice, or buy twice, as they say.

happy camping!

You really need to go and try some packs out or better yet Buy a few and load it with what you think you will be carrying do not have the store people stuff bags in there it's not the same as having gear in there they fell much more different. I ended up with a Osprey Black and a Green Pack. I also have a Kelty Lakota 65 for longer hikes.

Osprey is the lighter of the Brands Gregory and Kelty are more heavier and more durable, but if you take care of the packs even the ultra light ones will last you. For $150 you won't be getting the Higher end packs they cost more then that, Or you can try a REI Garage sale and get lucky.

Trips like the one's you posted are great for light packs like the Osprey 65 you can pack a bunch in that pack and still feel like nothing is on your back. The only thing I don't like about Osprey is the side zippers I am a larger man and they don't work too well with my form lol.

This TETON Sports is a great pack it's not the lightest but for the money and the ENTIRE pack is nylon so it's tough as nails, I used it for a few year before upgrading to a lighter packs. I do not regret this at all.
