I started small, loads of second hand stuff when I was in my twenties and as I began to earn more I bought progressively better stuff. I still get out camping in a very basic way as I enjoy the simplicity of it, but I have the means to have better equipment and so I have it.
It's cool you're getting E-dog into camping...Later in life he will thank you for the education I think - Rounds out a man if he knows how to look after himself and others you know?
