I ended up with a Big Agnes for my AT hike, but before that I had an  Alps Mountaineering Lynx tent I bought on Amazon for less than $100.  Its been good to me and seems solid.    Here's a link to the 1 person:  https://www.amazon.com/ALPS-Mountaineering-Lynx-1-Person-Tent/dp/B00BMKD1DU/ref=sr_1_5?s=outdoor-recreation\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1516305974\u0026amp;sr=1-5\u0026amp;keywords=alps+mountaineering \r\n\r\nEdit: Price","subreddit_name":"AppalachianTrail","author":"kart4443"},{"body":"It's the ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 1-Person Tent. Got it on amazon for a good price. Fast set-up, mostly mesh for ventilation but has a waterproof fly you can put over very quickly. \r\nIf you're on a budget, fantastic tent.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BMKD1DU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1\r\n","subreddit_name":"motocamping","author":"uneakbreed"},{"body":"Keep it simple at first. Find an easy loop (less than 10 miles so you don’t have to plan for water) near you.  Alltrails is a good app that will help you start doing that. \r\n\r\nThere’s no need to start with car camping unless you already have the gear for that. Part of the fun of backpacking is gradually figuring out what gear you do and don’t need, what to bring, and what to leave behind. So release yourself to that journey. There is a joy in the ignorance of starting a new hobby. \r\n\r\nThat being said, your “big four” items are going to be a sleeping bag, tent, sleeping pad, and cooking system. For a cooking system, I would say an MSR Pocket rocket is absolutely the best go-to. That, plus fuel, and a lighter will be enough for you to get dehydrated meals made. I like to bring a measuring cup if I’m using dehydrated meals. That little bit of precision is really worth it. \r\n\r\nTo start fires at your campsite, you can put cotton balls in a plastic bag and soak them in isopropyl alcohol. Lint from your dryer also helps to start campfires. \r\n\r\nNot sure what your budget is on gearing up, but absolutely avoid Walmart/Coleman brand stuff. Speaking from experience on that point. \r\n\r\nYou can find affordable, entry level stuff on amazon. A good starter tent for one person is here:\r\n\r\nALPS Mountaineering Lynx 1-Person Tent https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BMKD1DU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UG5QBb04ZP4E1\r\n\r\nHigh quality sleeping bags that are warm and lightweight are going to be pricey, but you can find some inexpensive ones on amazon that will get the job done. \r\n\r\nI really like the Big Agnes sleeping pad. Been using that for a while now. Also, Osprey backpacks are very much worth the price tag.

Top notch qulity for the price. Just read the reviews for yourself. Don't sleep on amazon.

I have their two person tent and I love it! It holds up exceptionally well even in extreme desert winds. It's pretty much the one below but a little bit bigger. \r\n\r\nIt also comes with a limited lifetime warranty so if something were to go wrong (which it probably won't) you're covered. Don't knock the cheaper gear until you try it! I believe that this is just as good as any and I think that in a lot of cases most people are just paying for a name anyway.
