Camping Gear

What is the average price of camping gear?
Free. Your first time should always be free, especially for kids. In other words, you should go with an experienced camper(s) or a camping organization who will let you borrow their gear, since almost all campers have extra gear, the very thing you’re trying to avoid by first borrowing.
After a couple of “free” camping trips under your belt you’ll start to get an idea of what kind of gear you might want to purchase, and start to research materials, quality, prices, and reviews to determine the right choice for you, your camping style, level of comfort, camping plans, and budget. Reading books about camping and backpacking at your local library is a good start along with popular camping websites.
A mistake some people make is to try to buy the biggest and most expensive gear, which is usually overkill. Similarly, don’t expect Wal-Mart gear to get you through more than a weekend or two. Somewhere in the middle is where I aim, in size, quality, weight and price.
