With the backpacking trip fast approaching, the need to complete my gear list is in full swing. Unfortunately the cost of said gear continually breaks the piggy bank. I just ordered my new 20 degree sleeping bag yesterday along with the replacement carbon for the vario filter. That sucked up all the money, except for $20, I earned on Ebay selling my old games. So with $20 I was off to REI to see what gaps I could fill in on the gear list.
I really need a footprint for the Hubba tent. I want to protect the floor of the tent as much as possible. The price for that protection is $40. The cost for the waterproof tarp about the same size, that will fit the purpose was $8.50. A good compromise for now, despite the weight. I also got 50ft. of nylon cord for hanging a bear bag. Not quite sure what bag to get yet. $3.50 for this cord. I found a great little pill box for .40 There are some nice little containers there for spices, mixes, etc.
Lastly, I got a couple of new bandanas. My one and only camo one is getting old. $3 each. Ended going over my budget by a few bucks, but not bad. The tarp will temporarily fill the gap of a much needed item until I can get the real deal.
