Cheap, rugged, works. And you get out & use it. That's the important thing.

I'm assuming that you know that you need shelter, sleeping system, food, cookware, stove, and backpack. Thats the start. But there are other things one needs to consider. Heres a link.

Would agree about the tarp, I have a Wild Country Tarp 1 which goes everywhere with me, although my wild camping trips have reduced now.
Really outstanding.
