I’m looking to buy brand new camping equipment because I haven’t upgraded in about 10 years.
I am getting a new job that pays well and can afford more expensive gear.
What are some suggestions? backpacks, stoves, hiking shoes/boots, tents, etc.

I am going on a camping trip with this program and they’ve giving me some gear. But the hiking pack and the back pack is the problem. How will I be able to check that in? I don’t want a lot of baggage because that’s money we don’t have.
This is what I’m worried about:
Leather Boots
Day [...]

i want to really ruff it i want to scale terrain,hike long distances fish and set up camp.

We are heading out soon with a large group, and I was hoping to hunt for some bargains on camping misc in the next couple of weeks. Not so much for hiking, but more for cooking, games, kids (all ages) etc. Thanks!

I would like to find a credit card with Reward Points for a store like REI, or Dick’s Sporting Goods, or Sierra Trading Post.
Plan on doing more camping and have added hiking and kayaking to my list of outdoor activities, but all the “specialty” gear is expensive.
