Nice suggestions, Mark. I agree with them all.
Joshua, if you check my signature line, you'll see a link to our own website, backpackthesierra.com
We have a list of cheap, quick, light and multi-use items that save time, money and weight. If you want to encourage people to hike, it's important to emphasize that you can get out into the woods and enjoy yourself without spending $2500 per person on gear. About ten years ago we were hiking with gear that cost a total of about $600 for the two of us. And we had some wonderful adventures.
Backpacking is NOT a sport restricted to those who have loads of disposable income.
