Budget Picks Here
Tent - Durston Xmid Sil. You can absolutely get a 3FUL Lanshan for under $200 but I really believe if you can get to it, The Durston X-Mid is a fantastic value at $240. For all the same Reasons that I bought the X-Mid Pro. My main concern with the 3F UL Lanshan is the small amount pf space you give up. Livability is important – https://geni.us/88OAW
Backpack – Granite Gear Crown 2 (On Sale) – The previous version of this backpack is what I started with when my base weight was 17lbs and I loved everything about it. Unfortunately I had to sell it to afford the next gear. The pack has simple features, you can remove the lid to make it lighter and uses durable materials. 60L IS a lot of room, but that’s all the better, because you don’t have to compress your clothing too much. – https://geni.us/XCL4
Sleeping Pad - Klymit Insulated Static V Lite ($85) – Year over year I keep looking, but nothing beats the 23in width, price, 30d durability, and reasonable 1.9 R value (2.7 R Value if you add a thinlite pad) https://geni.us/F13Xz
Hammock Gear Burrow Quilt – Hammock Gear no longer calls this an “economy quilt” but it’s still an amazing value. The biggest plus is you’re getting a quilted fitted to your specifications. For the exact reason I love KS Packs, I like Hammock Gear, because you get to choose what you want on the quilt. https://geni.us/wJ1QM
