What is free is he can invest his own time and initiative to research this site and others to get gobs of info. Try to avoid alot of hand-holding. If he really wants to do this then he should research and experiment(backyard camp trying new skills). He could get plenty of stuff for a few hundred bucks and save the rest for later.
+1 on that.
There is a lot of great information on this site, start slow and pick up what knowledge he can before making a purchase.
Or he can just send me a check for $600.00 and I'll hook him up.
Really though, you can go out and spend tons of money on gear or learn through others, not to mention actually getting out there hiking, camping etc.
An AMK PSK and good first aid kit would be a good start.
