Things to check for \nQuality strap - Make sure the shoulder pad is going to last and not cut into shoulder\nCheck how the strap is attached to bag \n\nMost of the major club manufactures bags are made by  Sun Mountain.  \nhttp://www.sunmountain.com/  Lighting carry bag\n Ping has one that the bottom of the bag will adjust so it's always flat on the grunge.  Your bag want fall over on a side hill lie.

Certainly, thanks for asking, should I bring my own sleeping bag or do you have one I can borrow?

Don't go for Coleman.  Coleman is the best you can buy at Wal-mart.  You should be sure to get something at least water resistant, and preferably water-proof.  The fact is, if you are somewhere when it's raining you want to be nice and snug in your tent, not freaking out trying to stay dry.  You also want one that has lots of window, and can breath.  I use a North Face.  I woudn't really recommend it, because they are a little pricey, but I got a great deal on it.  I would however recommend a Keilty.  You can find them online, or at an REI or other outdoor store.  They are really easy to put up, very durable, and usually reasonable.

I do all my "outdoor" shopping at Sierra Trading Post online. Why? Because the prices are awesome, they carry name brands, they deliver quickly and they always seem to have exactly what I need.\n\nDo beware, shopping online here can take up HOURS of your free time! They not only carry hiking boots and backpacks, tents and gear -- they carry exactly the type of undergarments you seek. The silk long underwear is really nice, but they also carry the high-tech fibers that do a great job of moisture-wicking to keep you dry and warm. (see the Wickers Expedition Weight line and the Kenyon Expedition Weight long underwear pieces).\n\nHope this helps! Happy backpacking.

Make sure you buy a decent baselayer, i.e thermals. But don't buy cotton ones as if they get wet they stay wet for ages and lose their heat retaining properties.  Decent makes include, Icebreaker, Helly Hanson, The North Face, Lowe Alpine.\n\nAlso, instead of buying one big thick jacket to keep you warm, it makes sense to buy two or three garments that are lighter and more breatable.  This is because if it warms up then you can take off the required layers to maintain a comfortable warmth, whereas if you have big layer you'll probably end up being either too hot or too cold.  \nOh and take a flask with you, no mistake about that.\n\nHope have been of help.

The supermarket I use in the UK (Tesco) sells a very strong plastic bag called a "Bag for life" for about 20c. It has a nice design on it, and the guarantee is that if one falls apart, they will give you another. I always use these. The oldest one I have, (still in regular use I might add), is about 4 years old. \nThis seems to me to be the best option by far!

the basics make quite a list and i'm not going to be able to cover it in detail but here goes. a tent with stakes and lines as needed. set it up before you go to be sure you understand how to and that you have everything you need. bedding- either sleeping bags or blankets to  and ground pads or air mattresses. make sure you have enough to sleep warm, shivering makes for a long night and it might be a lot colder where you are going. clothing- what ever is needed for the season plus rain gear and jacket. take easily washable stuff that is comfortable and wears well. a change of clothes for every other day works well. footwear- good solid boots if you're going to be hiking otherwise any good shoe or sneaker. extra socks. cook gear- stove or campfire grate with a frypan, large and small covered pots, coffee pot, plates and silverwere. cleaning supplies - if you're cooking over a fire include either sos pads or other scrubbing pads. camp tools- hatchet or small axe, camp saw, small shovel, rope or parachute cord, duct tape, first aid kit, a 10x12 tarp, flashlights and lantern, matches, firestarters. food- things that require as little refregeration as possible and that are simple to store, prepare, and clean up after. a small broom or brush to keep the tent cleaned out. if you are planning a major vacation spend a night out in the yard or at a nearby campground as a trail run. don't be afraid to ask for help. all campers start out not knowing what they were doing and are glad to help  a new camper get started. have fun ad relax when something goes wrong, and it will. you'll laugh about it later.

A balaclava is a one-size fits all head and face warmer (kinda like a ski mask but with only one bigger opening for eyes, nose, mouth) that is most welcome on cold days. You don't need a Polartec fleece balaclava, just a thinner one would do in the DC area. Usually less than $25 at bike shops or sporting goods stores. Or you can also get a skullcap if you want.\nhttp://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?category=137&subcategory=1219&brand=&sku=17483&storetype=&estoreid=&pagename=Shop%20by%20Subcat%3A%20Accessories%20%2D%20Cool%20Weather\nhttp://www.coloradocyclist.com/common/products/displayproductlist_v2.cfm?&CGRFNBR=421&CRPCGNBR=421&TextMode=0&CI=1,259\nAnother cheap gift is a roll of handlebar tape. The tricky part is that color and taste have to be taken into consideration. This is the easiest and cheapest way to give a bike some pizzazz.\nhttp://www.cbike.com/bartape.htm\nAnother cheap gift is a pair of water bottles.

I've done this for long periods of time and once for an entire winter.  First you'll need a small one-person high quality three-season tent and an expensive sleeping bag rated to about 15 degrees below zero.  Also a Therm Rest self-inflating air mattress (these sort of pads are very effective for keeping you insulated even when used on ice.  Water and carried in foods and kinda maintain a very small fire in a tuna-fish can with blocks surrounding it so that you will not be being seen by other/s.  Be sure no apt-to-fall tree/s are near you (check em very well) they can fall and kill you.  I most always rounded my tent site with thin but very strong sting so that any large animal will not walk over my tent (fear of big-foot.  If alone enjoy your solitude and use that time for learning how to think clearer.

well, I think that you should look at where your going to use it. If you camp in very cold climates, then you want to look for something that is wind resistant and stands up to cold weather.  If you camp in warmer climates then your going to want something that is well ventilated to keep it cool.  You should also look at water, if your going to camp in an area that has very wet ground, they sell tents that have hard bottoms that you can raise off the ground.

In my experience, the Ping Craz-E Lite and Sun Mountain 3.5 stand bags are the lightest bags on the market.
