However, I just got a second-hand backpack and even don't have a tent yet.

I wonder where you guys buy your outdoor equipment, could you recommend some good stores?

I got this from my friend, but not sure if really that good.

Hope we can exchange more useful info here, that's why I join in today.

I camp mostly off a motorcycle, which means using mostly backpacking equipment.

I get most of my gear from http:\\www.campmor.com and http:\\www.rei.com. I'm now using a Sierra Designs Sirius 3 tent, a Backpacker Magazine (I think) editor's choice back in 2005, which I got from somewhere after googling on the internet. LLBean is another source. They seem to be more oriented to family camping in general, but I was dissatisfied with my campmor down sleeping bag and am much happier with LLBean's Mt. Katahdin down bags. I got pairs of the 20 degree and 40 degree bags, for me they're comfortable to about 10 degrees over their ratings.
