i spend extremely little on camp gear because i dont get out often enough to justify expensive gear. also i dont need to punish myself being out in bad weather so I dont need great gear. my trek pole tent cost $40 new. it keeps the bugs out and fine for light rain. i dont need to carry a footprint or give a shit about how i fold it because its only $40 instead of $400.

Gear is expensive, especially in cuckanada. Buy stuff on sale. MEC is everywhere, Sail is good too if you're in eastern Canada. Take advantage of discount codes they send. A good tent is minimum 300, I got a MEC sleeping pad on sale for $85 or so. Haven't had to buy a sleeping bag since I've inherited a number of them. A good bag is a couple hundred bucks as well but again buy on sale. If you're paying full price you're doing it wrong.
In total I've probably spent, I don't know, 2K on a mix of backpacking and car camping gear.

I spent about 1200 eur on my gear the first time. Mostly budget stuff but I went for a more expensive down sleeping bag. Also got a chink tent. Have not bought anything new since except for new hiking pants.
