U can get a ram with any gear you have just make sure you can stay dry first off head to toe since being wet will usually lead to quitting early. Spend a good portion of your budget on optics. I use a badlands 4500 pack that i bough brand new on amazon for around 275$ last year i used an alpz outdoors commander pack and frame for 35 days of guiding 20 days in the mountains goat hunting(2 goats) then 15 days moose (3 bulls) the pack will be my go too pack out pack for stuff within an hour hike, It worked for the 5/6 hour hikes up and down the mountain but i had the money for a new pack this year and the 4500 was in the budget. rain gear i used a big bill camo rain suit(75$ for the whole suit kept me dry but is heavier than i wanted). I have a 50$ coleman sleeping bag(synthetic) and it is next to be replaced but worked, its just large even when compressed. a regular thermarest. Danner pronghorn boots i have the 800gr but will be going too a hanwag or similar boot with atleast half the insulation. Goldbond, and saxx underwear along with merino hiking socks(all very important). Vortex diamondback 10x32 binoculars and leupold sentana vx-1 15-45x60 angled spotting scope on a vortex high country tripod and a vortex ranger 1000 rangefinder. My tent is a kelty gunnison 2.1 pro(if you look at these tents only buy the PRO model as it is made to be used hard and i have the foot print!). i also use a little msr stove. The total for all my gear using the alps commander is around $2000 which is less then some guys spend on there binoculars!
