Costco outdoor deals

[hogslayer]

Made the weekly Costco trip lastnight and found out that they had some gear that could be used for hunting.   I picked up the Seripen UV water purifier with the Nalgene bottle and pre filter for 50$.   I also found a solar panel charging kit with battery backup packs for 100$.  Checked them both out online and it is a good deal with great reviews.   Just a heads up if anyone is in the market.

Was the solar panel gear the Goal Zero stuff? if so which  Costco?

I saw the charger a couple weeks ago in woodinville and if I recall correctly it was not goal zero stuff. I can't say for sure though.

  Yes it was the goal zero.  It was in shoreline.

Good luck with that steri pen. I suggest bringing a backup purification source such as tablets. Mine stopped working in the middle of a vs blacking trip.

Do you know which model Steripen it was?

[Bean Counter]

Its been a few years. I think I bought it in 2007. I think I bought it at REI.  Took it back, and never considered one again. I personally like the idea of a filter anyway.

They have a pretty swinging deal on Mountain House as well. 10 pack boxes. Pretty spotty when they stock them.

They also have THE BEST deal on Merino wool boot socks.

I was at the South Everett Costco yesterday, and they had the Steripen, the Goal Zero charger, AND crab pots - two collapsible pots with buoy and rope for $80.

Many of the hikers on the Continental Divide Trail this summer are moving away from Goal Zero and buying this Suntactics charger:  http://www.suntactics.com/shop/usb-scharger-5/

Hope they carry the game cameras again this year.

Good to know. Thanks!

I don't know if steak counts as outdoor gear , but they have the best damn beef. A couple rib steaks are always a nice addition to car camping.
