Super Cool Ken!
Not to Hijack your thread, but another option for someone needing gear but not wanting to lay out a ton of $$$ for something they may or may not do again, is to rent it.
My brother and I leave for CO in two days, I have most of what I need, but he did not. We stumbled on this outfit out of Colorado Springs that rents packages from 7 to 20+ days, and rates are very reasonable. We are picking the gear up as we pass through, but they will ship it where you need it as well.
We got a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, jet boil, water filter, GPS, Bear spray, 3 MT House meals, back pack and I think a couple other items for around $129.00 for 13 days. They gave us a list of the equipment, I looked it up and it is all top shelf stuff. My brother said, if he gets addicted to Colorado elk hunting he can then decide to by his own stuff, if not, he got to use it pretty cheap and doesn't have a bunch of gear he may not need again.
Anyway, let me know if you want more info, super people to deal with.
