Awww, ya'll are butthurt and downvoting me for pointing out not everyone has access to mass transportation or reliable shopping within three blocks of their house.
There's definitely areas where the BOCO philosophy applies to me. I avoid Harbor Freight and similar quality tools like the plague. I guess I don't camp near as much as I build stuff. 😂
Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to check those out. There's no bears around here, I think the biggest predators are coyotes or humans. I like that "bag-in-lieu" idea, my first thought was "Man I bet my sleeping bag would fit there just perfect."
I tend to go "cheap" and replace often, but if it's a good pack, I don't mind buying it once.
Tent, sleeping bag, food & water, ham radio stuff (not a lot, small items). Cooking kit, not much. I'm not like a "go super nuts on weight" guy, but I'd like to not carry 50lbs around with me. I'd rather have it and not need it than the opposite.
