go to www.rei.com\n\nREI (Recreational Equipment Incorporated) is a co-op, and has been around since the 1930s. Their profits go to save outdoor areas. By phone or on-line, you can talk to live "outdoor advisors" for free, even if you aren't a member. These advisors are the best ever resource for information about what to buy, how to use it, and how to take care of it.

Well, you can buy a prepaid credit card, just like a gift card.  I saw some American Express cards you can recharge at the grocery store just the other day.\n\nAs for the tent.  Go to an outdoor store (like REI or Sports Authority), tell them what you are looking for in a tent.  Have them show you some models and have them set them up for you. \n\nTHEN go check out sierratradingpost.com\n\nYou will be happy you did, happy camper!

Depending on where you are camping, you may be able to get by with a fleece liner, a down throw blanket, or a sheet, any of which can be found in a discount store. All of which are under 20 bucks. Or you can just pack a cool weather pair of PJs or sleep in your clothes or bring an old blanket from home.\n\nIf you need anything warmer in the summer, you should be able to get by with ANY low budget bag from a discount store. They aren't too hard to pick out. Your basic 40-50 degree bag. \n\nThere are a lot of variables to picking out a sleeping bag. If none of your needs are that extreme, then it isn't such a dilemma. But if you need lightweight, compressible, easy to hike with, AND roomy, warm, durable, then you are certainly going to pay for it. That's when you need to turn to a reputable brand of backpacking gear and you will get what you pay for, including high performance fabrics and insulations. Otherwise you end up with a very warm sleeping bag that weighs 12 lbs or a very light sleeping bag that falls apart in your hand. You will always have to compare and balance the things you want out of your bag. You will not find a 40 below bag that fits in the palm of your hand and lasts for 10 years in the arctic expeditions, and costs 50 dollars. \n\nCheck Walmart for any of these items above, or if you want a "real" camping bag (beware crappy zippers) try Slumberjack, very low budget yet official camping gear. Kelty makes better sleeping bags, and other manufacturers can really set you up nice. However, you just don't need that kind of technology in the summer.\n\nOne thing to consider when buying any camping gear is that, in addition to the brand of the piece you choose, it is important to choose a reputable retailer that stands behind their products. Kind of like appliances. You can buy a Kenmore washer at Sears with a warranty, or you can buy the same item from Joe Schmo on Ebay and you are stuck with it if it is a lemon. One of the best retailers in the camping biz is Campmor (great online selection), and another is REI. \n\nDon't forget with your summer sleep setup...that you need a mosquito net.

Have you tried looking in the classified section of your local paper. They usually have a section for sports equipment. \n\nFreecycle is also an option, although in my experience people don't respond to the wanted ads quite as much as the offers. \n\nHere is the link: http://www.thomsonlocal.com/\n\nAnother alternative is finding out which auctions run in your area. In my area there are auctions of gym contents fairly regularly (I think they must go bust alot), you can pick up some pretty high tech equipment really cheaply. \n\nTry looking up auctioneers in your area in the Thompson directory, or your local paper may have a weekly auctions feature as mine does.
