Getting everything from a backpack, a tent, a sleeping bag, a pad and so much more in one purchase has been a huge time saver. I've looked at buying everything separately from other brands but it was way too expensive and there were way too many options. Everything in this bundle is super high-quality and made very well. I found that the tent is just as light but more durable than other big brands tents. Also the whole thing weighing only 17 lbs blows my mind everytime I put the pack on! I would highly recommend buying the ready-2-go bundle to anyone wanting to get into backpacking!
