For example, if your backpack doesn't fit right, or the shoulder straps are uncomfotable due to lack of proper padding or poor construction, then every step you take after the first mile of your trip is going to make you work much harder than you should have to. You'll be so worn out by the end of the day that you will not get to relax and really enjoy all of the other aspects of backpacking.
The same goes for most of your other essential gear like your sleeping bag, hiking boots, tent, ect.... Take the time to get the right gear, and your adventures will be much more fun, and when you look back on them years down the road, you'll do so with a smile in your heart.
