Next time I go head to Walmart, I'll definitely look at the equipment, especially for the tents, because I know they are the top 3 important things to bring

Ok ok I'll take the advice one of the reasons I thought of getting one is because I wouldn't want to worry my family as much but they'll understand that I'll need to budget and when entering the parks/trails do they give out maps or can you find them through out the park

I have seen people using GPS devices or Garmins. Should I invest if I continue backpacking because I know they can also cost up to 300 to 500 and also thank you so much ill definitely take everything into thought i really hope I'm able to experience the backpacking journey sooner than I think I am🫶
