I've been buying camping, hunting and backpacking gear (and everything else) for 60 years. That's not an exaggeration. One thing that I learned a long time ago is that it's cheapest to buy the best the first time. You probably expected someone to make that comment and you are probably going to ignore it. But you will learn eventually.
