I'm out.  I always spend more than a $100 on everything I think is important.  Sleeping pad over 100, sleeping bag over 100, tent over 100, GPS over 100, Bow...don't even get me started, headlight over 100, food over 100, water filter over 100, Spot messenger over 100, phone over 100, knife might be a bit under 100, boots over 100, pack over 100, jetboil was under...guess that's the one.

My Thermacell is one of the best purchases I've made for about $20.

Day pack itself, I use one of the Cabela's brand hydration daypacks, and virtually nothing else inside the pack is over $100, the pack itself was like $89 when I bought it 4 years ago.  I do have a custom knife I had made in Ak that's cost me a couple hundred, but other than that, wyoming saw, all other knives, fire starter and para cord were all under $100.
