Tent, backpack

>I am also searching for a (thermo) sleeping bag and some sort of sleeping pad.
pad, if you like sleeping "hard", try a evazote pad. they are cheap, robust and light, 9mm should be plenty for your temperature range.

Tent, sales season is coming up in a few weeks, you could try to get a MSR Hubba Hubba sub 300 or score some other nice tenty.

backpack same, show up on sales, test half a dozen packs, see what fits you best and has the features most to your likings and buy it for half price.

sleeping bag, depends if you plan high alps or Scandinavia in late summer/begin of fall, which means frost nights.
For summer camping with I use generic no name bags from the local sports outlet, because they work, are cheap, and get ruined/lost/burnt/borrowed and never returned anyways.

I got an Exped comfort 600 as my expensive splurge bag for when I go on tour myself, -8°C was still ok, the bag is cozy as fuck and I use it for five years now with no issues.

If you're EU then you can order Alpkit stuff from UK for delivery.

The Osprey pack you linked is great so go for it. Make sure you get the right back length as Osprey do 2.

Sleeping bag depends on where you're wanting to go and what the temp is going to be. Down is better than synthetic unless you expect the bag to get wet. I'd advise a liner as well.

Sleeping pad depends on temp as well. self-inflating are great but heavier/thicker than inflatables.

Alpkit sell bags and mats, they're all reasonably priced and great quality. Otherwise just take a look at some local outdoors shops and see what looks best/ matches your requirements and budget.

Hey guys,
thanks for the help!
My internet broke, I got banned and now I'm ill, but I'll read through it and check it out.
Alpkit sounds great (the tent), and I think I am not on the wrong track altogether. I'll get something cheap for the things I am not sure about what I want / need exactly (pad, sleeping bag).

I also use an xtherm. it's 15oz and has an R of like 5.3.

for comparison, a ridgerest CCF (same size) weighs 16oz and has an R of 3. it's also enormous.

the xtherm is built like a tank, very tough fabrics on the bottom. I've used it for about 100 nights out and it's been fine.

plus, the comfort is far superior to CCF or any self inflating mat in that weight class.

for cold weather camping, it's almost indisputably the king of mats (the expeds are the only real competition). and even for general purpose use, it's still a great choice unless you absolutely must have the reliability of CCF

>a ridgerest
please nigger, no need to buy that monster, just get a simple 9mm eva pad and you are good for Euro 3 season camping for a 10th of the price of an inflatable.
