My wife and I set off with our dog for a backpacking trip in Sedona, Arizona. I've been searching Amazon and other budget shopping options for the best backpacking gear that will fit the needs of regular backpackers. This time I get my wife to join the challenge. She and I both take all low priced backpacking gear and find some excellent options for those who want to camp without spending a ton of money.
