Well that's not true at all. There's an army surplus store that sells tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks that'll set you back about $50 for all three. It'll way 20lbs before you even add your food, but its cheap.
See, the Columbia/REI/NorthFace stores sell an IMAGE. Yes, their products are the lightest on the planet, but you don't NEED that premium gear to have fun outside (unless you're climbing).
Outdoor sports are cheap. These companies just convinced us that we really need a $500 tent, $300 sleeping back, and $500 shell to truly enjoy the outdoors.
