I have a north face back pack that is pretty large - but is not for backpacking/camping really. I also have a tent but it is pretty bulky. What would be something good for girl who is just now getting into the hiking thing? Any other tips on gear would be great!

Answer
Best is an opinion which reviews of products tell you. You pay for what you get is a starting point.
