Backpacking Bargains

Article over at Backpacker.

It discusses the full spectrum of gear, which is useful.  The "backpacking on a budget" articles usually seen presuppose that you live in a Colorado trail town and can bargain shop for lightly-used gear down at the local thrift store.  Good luck with that on the Gulf coast!  No, this article covers only new gear, stuff you can actually get from the few local outfitters or the internet.  That is a new and useful take on things.

Anyway, enjoy.  Deer season is over and spring weather is almost upon us.  Get moving.
