If you're assembling your outdoor gear kit from scratch, perhaps with plans to spend more time in nature this summer, then you're likely looking at a hefty price tag when all is said and done. No matter if you're planning a few day hikes or a longer camping trip, the list of essential gear gets long rather quickly.
This means making sure you have everything from a suitable tent and sleeping bag to a pair of boots and a comfortable backpack. Tack on some extras like camp stoves, chairs, and even a getup of decent outdoor apparel and you're in the ballpark of a few hundred dollars. This is why taking advantage of sales when they come up is vital.
It's also important that the gear you buy comes from reputable brands known for their gear. Top-quality outdoor apparel and equipment often costs more for a reason, and going cheap isn't a smart move.
You may well find yourself depending on your tent during an evening downpour, your jacket when a high altitude cold snap blows through, or your cooler when you decided to spend one more day on the trail. Even your headlamp could be the difference between finding your way back as the sun goes down and getting lost in the wilderness when you miss the trail — it's smart to be prepeared.
