Basically, where do I start? I hadn't camped since I was a little kid in Girl Scouts. And I hated it then. But, I also lived in Florida, and we were camping in the summer - so everything was wet, and there were mosquitos and bugs EVERYWHERE. I'm in my 30's now and live in Seattle, so a much different climate. Last September we spent a week driving around Utah car camping and I loved it.
I want to do some weekend trips out to the North Cascades, Rainier, and hopefully we'll get a permit for the Enchantments (I'm not holding my breath on that one though). We've only ever done day hiking, and I know our backpacks won't work for overnights. And I don't want to be overloaded with heavy gear, even if it's cheaper, so I'm really looking into ultralight stuff. But what the hell should I get? There are so many options it's mind numbing. We'd be camping in the summer/early fall, just two of us. We've got about $500 to spend as an initial investment, which won't get us really far, but some of the essentials would obviously be beneficial.
Any recommendations? Brands to stay away from? So far I've been looking at these options:
Tent 1
Tent 2
Tent 3
Backpack for me
Backpack for him
Sleeping Bag 1
Sleeping Bag 2
Any tips/help would be super appreciated. I don't expect trips to be longer than 2 days at a time, unless we score a permit for the Enchantments, and that I would want to do 3-4 days.
Bryce 2P Two Person Ultralight Tent
I just received this tent as a gift and have loved it. It's a little heavier than a lot of other options but for the price you can't beat it.

Yep. I paid $49.00 for a 4x6 fits two Walmart special. I actually ended up getting two of them in the long run. It says two man but my son and I didn't want to share. They are suitable but I really want one of the lighter even more collapsible ones for backpacking that has better wind/rain resistance. We lugged them out on an overnight backpacking trip in case it started raining but we didn't even end up using them. We really just wanted to test out our cheap hammocks. Carrying all that junk starts to suck a little after 8 miles so lighter is better. We intentionally over packed a little bit because we were practicing for a section hike on the Appalachian trail.
I want one like this one
17.5x5x5 according to https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CZ0Q7RW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_D4OEzbFRAF01W
Got a zlite style ccf pad (folding) and a hyke and byke 15 deg down bag coming from Amazon as well. Bag comes with a compression sack. Rest of my gear is gonna be either gear from my military days, some surplus, and some backpacking gear. Following the Frugal Backpacker list that starts under $300. Replaced some items as I plan on doing some 14ers and stuff :)
I picked up one of these tents recently. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CZ0Q7RW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_jGS1xbZ4XFG8R
I haven't tried it without the fly, but the entire tent body, besides the bottom obviously, is mesh. So I would imagine it would be nice and cool
