where can I buy cheap backpacking equipment?

I’m going to the south pacific and southeast asia, and I do not have any equipment. Where can I get a cheap but good-quality backpack, sleeping bag, tent, and other camping and traveling gear. VERY LOW BUDGET!

For a really low-budget and lightweight backpacking stove, build yourself a Pepsi-can alcohol stove.

If you’ll be camping in warm weather, it will be lighter and probably more comfortable to get a lightweight net hammock, bug screen, and rain fly instead of dragging around a tent.

Great deals on backpacking equipment can also be found at Goodwill and other thrift stores, garage sales, etc.

Another option is to borrow gear from friends. I’ve let several friends borrow a backpack for travels to distant lands.

Don’t forget your camping gear!
