I still have a $100gc to Bass Pro and can't figure out what to buy. My son is in Cub Scouts so we camp a lot. I Geocache and want to get into backpacking. I have a few items, but don't want to jump in hardcore yet. Hikes might be a night or two to start.
What I already have:
- Merrell hiking shoes
- Lighting - couple Surfire flashlights & Petzl headlamps
- Bass Pro sleeping bags x2 (for wife & I)
- Eureka Tetragon 1210(family camping)
- 7x7 tent (generic from Walmart)
- Thermarest air mattress
- several camel back type bladders
- backpack - 3 day bug out bag with MOLLE setup on the back.
- Garmin Colorado
- Leatherman Wave
What I don't have:
- Water filtration - looking at Katadyn Pro Hiker
- Backpacking sleeping bag - BPS didn't really have any from what I could see.
- Backpacking tent (1man) My 7x7 is fairly light and would save me from buying another tent.
- First Aid kit - I am looking at making my own out of a MOLLE bag similar to our military's IFAK.
I am just looking for some input on items I may have forgotten.
