Went to Phoenix yesterday and started looking at hiking gear! $$$
Saw some I liked, saw prices that I didn't like! Major items such as tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags look to start at the $200+ price point. Smaller items like stove, mess kit, etc., look to be $50 to $100! Sure wish Harbor Freight sold the good hiking stuff.
I already have a good set of hiking poles, Lekis, and I think a self inflate sleeping pad.
I'm a touchy, feelie guy when it come to buying this kind of stuff that I will wear, carry, and use every day for six months! Will do more looking and shopping as I have several months to a year to buy all the gear.
Clothing is just as expensive. Good shirts, pants, shorts, wind breakers, and such, start around $35 to $100 and up if I really want the good stuff!
Time will tell!
