A backpacking gear list for under $350: Budget and cheap hiking

I hope you enjoy this backpacking gear loadout that I compiled for under $350. Budget ultralight gear sometimes gets a bad reputation for being cheap but in this video I try to give you my backpacking gear list that I would take on a limited budget. Being cheap does not always mean poor quality and just because you spend alot of money on products does not guarantee high quality either.

I hope what this list does is helps people to access the outdoors even more. Affordable gear is out there if you look in the right places and you can get even cheaper gear if you'd like. I had three assumptions in creating this loadout. 1. This is a late spring to early fall setup. 2. Yes you give up some comfort and durability. 3. Yes, you can get cheaper and lighter. This list is mine. It's what I'd feel comfortable carrying.
