Thread: How much do you spend on gear?

Spend what I can when I can really, have discussed this with friends before, a trip in the mountains can look like:

Pack: $400
Boots: $400
Rain jacket: $250
Thermals: $200/300
Gaiters: $40
Food: $30
First Aid Kit: Free/ $1000 (I won this for being top in my first aid course haha)
Bivy bag: Gifted
Etrex: Gifted
Sleeping bag: Gifted
Gloves: $10 (They're warm and waterproof but too small)
Sunglasses: Gifted
Toiletries: $20ish?
Camera: $300 or $400 depending which one I take
Range finder: Gifted

Most of my gear is second hand though haha, and only my boots/rain jacket and pack are recent purchases. Everything else can be up to 15+ years old!
