You sound like someone who is completely new to photography. $5,000 is a gigantic budget for a newbie. I started with a $600 budget and I'd advise you do the same until you are absolutely sure you will actually like photography for a long time. I'm also completely jealous and I'm judging the fuck out of you in envy.
Regardless, I will recommend some products here that are good assuming you'll do this for a long time into the future.
You probably know that you're basically looking at Canon or Nikon. It does not matter which one you pick, they're pretty similar. I prefer Nikon.
Let's start with the body. There are two types, APS-C and 35mm. Sensors are like penises, bigger is always better. Grab a 35mm and you'll never have to replace all your lenses. Buy a refurbished [Nikon D610] (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1031237-REF/nikon_1540b_d610_dslr_camera_body.html). $1.5k
Next are the lenses. Since you have a godly budget, you can go straight for a large slice of Nikon's "Holy Trinity." You can look it up, that's actually what they call it. Get a refurbished 14-24mm f2.8 for wide angle shots of nature and shit. Get a refurbished 24-70mm f2.8 for goddamn near everything else. $1.65k and $1.5k respectively.
Finally, you'll want a speedlight, camera bag, and a tripod. Get a used SB-700 speedlight, a used tripod from your city, and a Case Logic SLRC-205. That's all your money.
Out of all these products, only camera lenses are really BIFL, and even then you're going to have to treat them like glass cause that's what they literally are. You'll want to replace the camera body and tripod eventually.
Finally, when you're done draining your parents' bank accounts, make sure you call them and thank them. Even offer to suck daddy a little bit. And then make sure you remember to put this shit on Craigslist in two months when you've forgotten about photography. Thanks and good luck.
This! bag looks perfect. Small, unassuming, light, enough room for a gripped 60D, 2 lenses, filters and even a monopod, if I so choose. Awesome.
this has recently become my travel bag of choice

I have a Lowepro Slingshot 202 which is great cause it holds all my stuff including a battery grip attached to the camera. Before using the slingshot I used a CaseLogic Sling Bag which is much more compact but unfortunately didn't hold my camera once I got the battery grip. I'd recommend the CaseLogic for hiking as long as it can hold all your stuff.
I was also looking for good camera bags. I found this one in Amazon has anyone ever used it, any ideas, any pros or cons with the bag
I have this one, holds a camera with a lens attached plus room for another lens.

Pros: Small, slim profile, lightweight, convenient, can open the bag without taking it off (just slide the bag to your front). The main compartment has a dslr hammock that can hold a dslr with a fairly large lens easily/safely and is fairly quick to pull out or store.
---
Cons: Small, it sits awkwardly on the back whenever heavy (probably would give a person back problems if they wore it fully weighed down constantly).

I've always been partial to the satchel-bag style, but my previous satchel bag as really big and had a really wide profile, causing me to constantly bump into people with it. This bag is a great lightweight bag, convenient and can easily hold a dslr and two lenses (more if you stuff it tighter). But as I've found these sling-style backpacks are a pain in the back (only literally, they are otherwise very convenient), and I find that noticeable if I have the bag weighed down with my tripod or something. I would buy it again if I had to choose, but I would also be curious to look at what other verities there are for bags.
so I just got a dSLR (Canon Rebel t5i). I'm not a serious hiker (day trips only) but I knew I would want to bring my camera with me so I got this bag.
Plenty of room for the body, standard lens, accessories and some other small things (energy bar, cell phone, etc). I've been using the tripod holder for my water bottle.
The camera feels very safe in the case (vs slung around my neck), but is still easy to access.
I have a 450D too and use a camera sling that I wear diagonally across my chest. The exact model I have is the Case Logic SLRC-205 SLR. It can carry a camera with an attached lens, and there are additions pockets for one extra lens and various accessories. Supposedly you can also attach and carry a tripod too, though I haven't tried that yet.
