getting started on a budget?

I'm not going to tel you what to buy..as that is largely subjective But I will try to offer up a concept that has served me well when plannin sojurns in regards to making sure I have what I need:

Season aproriate clothes and boots
SOmething to carry stuff i: a bag of somesort
something to sleep on ( to provide comfort and insulation from the ground)
something to sleep in ( a sleping bag or blanket that is adequate for your you)
something to sleep under: a tent/ poncho/ tarp that will protect you form the elements
something to start a fire (3 seperate means of ingition, and 3 seperate means of tinder)
something to carry water in ( a canteen or bottle)
something to purify water in ( a can or pot for boiling)
something to cut stuff with (super subjective)
something to get you home (3 items to help rescue (whistle,signal mirror, Led)
something to fix yourself ( a first aid kit and the abiltiy to use it)
Something to see with at night: Illumination ( I like a headlamp, or an led on a dog tag chain around my neck)
a mall survival kit f you choose that should be kept on your person in the event you are seperated from your gear

obviously food and water for you excursion

I'm sure others can ad more..
I might have some extra gear i could send your way.. depending on what you are looking for...
