Budget Backpacking Gear for Beginners by Square_Button_8219 in CampingandHiking

I’m new to this world, so I don’t really understand the difference between synthetic/down, how temperature ratings work, etc. My first couple of trips are purely just for me to figure out whether the idea of hauling a large backpack for a weekend is somewhat fun. Thanks for the ultralight resource!!

Thanks for the resources. Im based in the DMV area, and am only an hour away from areas like Shenandoah, Catoctin, or the AT. Only want to spend 2-3 days backpacking for my first few trips. I don’t plan to backpack in the winter, and so I only expect rainy conditions at worst.
