Where do you buy most of your gear?

We usually go online and look for deals. You get quality stuff and sometimes awesome deals. We also go to Dunhams sports. They are a very cool store. But they can be pricey. Sometimes they will have end of the season sales we take advantage of. Walmart and Kmart have camping equipment fairly cheap. But usually it is not high end, or the best quality stuff. Online shopping is the best bet for us.

 

I get most of my gear at walmart. When it comes to prices of camping equipment they have it pretty low. You get what you pay for though in saying that you buy cheap you get cheap.

 

Walmart and Cabelas are where I like to do my shopping. But with all these brands, we should all remember that people back then didn't have the luxury to go to the store to camp.

 

There are several places here or just outside Toledo, Ohio. The biggest is "Bass Pro Shop". Not only fishing stuff but hunting stuff & many things, for instance tents & dutch ovens & camping gear. It's a place people might go out of their way just to see. There are wood pillars & posts. My favorite is the finished wood banister leading upstairs. There are trophies all over, live deer heads, antlers & large fish on the walls.

 

I meant LIKE dear heads! not "live".

 

I tend to be a Cabela's man - BUT I found it's best not to be loyal to any one company.
SALES AND PRODUCT LINES are the things that do me in.

Groan I have a personalized invitation to attend the opening of a new Cabela's in Barrie on Wednesday 9th of July at 12:00 noon. Man...I'm going to have to find a trusted friend [not going to Cabela's] to hold onto my credit cards and help keep me at bay .

 

I don't stick with one brand, I get whatever suits my needs. Most of my clothing comes from the "specialty shops" as I rather pay a little more for quality and reliability than saving a few bucks.

Go to the specialty shops during the fall as items are usually on sale/clearance due to the store(s) making room for the winter stuff, vise versa for winter clothing, go just before spring.

 

I'm a very stingy person so I try to purchase all my camping gear through deals online or buy them secondhand off other people. I've gotten some very good camping gear from Craigslist for very cheap because the sellers were moving away and didn't have any room in their vehicles so they were just looking to get rid of their stuff. If I had the money, though, I would love to get new gear from Bass Pro Shop. I may be a girl but I absolutely love that store!

 

Can you imagine - I did not go to the opening of the new store in Barrie. But I know I will before the summer is out. ND

 

I was packing stuff away today and I was thinking - "You don't need anything, not one single thing." But think again...it's always nice to look.

The problem of course is that they [not always sure who they are] come out with new products every year. I'm rather surprised with some of the ideas. I was looking at a you can stand up in the sleeping bag sort of thing. I don't know why anyone would want to buy one but they do.
