| - Love this place.
We recently came here to buy backpacking backpacks and a few other items for a trip to Havasupai Falls. The man who helped us in the backpack section was very knowledgeable. He fit 4 of us in different backpacks, giving us tips for how they should fit, informing us of the new technologies in the backpacks, and showing us his favorite brands. He proceeded to show us different items around the store that are his favorite for backpacking, such as the MSR pocket rocket and the sawyer mini water filtering system. He was awesome and knew so much!
I have also participated in their garage sale which is very busy! I got there around 630-7AM. They let 30 people in at a time to the upstairs where they have all the items, and I was in the 2nd group. You have a short time to look. I advise having items in mind to purchase, as I did not and was just wandering around. I found some good deals though!
One thing I love about this location is that I am allowed to bring my dog in. I have recently been to a location in Northern Cali and near Bridgeport Village in OR that only allow service dogs. As this store caters to those who love the outdoors, I appreciate that they allow my dog in, who enjoys those activities with me!
Yes, this place may be a little pricier than Amazon and other internet stores, it is still great to see the items in person and guarantee you're getting an authentic product. I also have the membership which gives me some of the money back, making me not feel so bad for spending so much.
