REI Garage Sale
Night goat:
Anybody get any good scores today?
Got 2 packs (85 and 70 liter), 19 deg down ultralight sleeping bag, pair of trek poles.... Just under 400$ spent, close to 1200$ worth of swag....

Good for you NG for getting some good deals, but, many here don’t support REI any longer. They have carried good products over the years with a solid return policy, but...as of MAR 18 I believe, they stopped carrying outdoor product brands that are affiliated with/support the NRA. I’m out and let my “points” fade away....

I cancelled my 40+ year membership last year after their boycott of Vista. Really a shame to see where the company is going.

News to me.... Ive had REI gear all my life and have never had any complaints. Grew up with thier ski gear, even have (and sometimes still use) my grandpas old frame pack from the 1950s or 1960s... Its just always been stuff that ive depended on... Being 30, and more concerned on solid reliable gear that I can try on and inspect and return.... Well gear is gear, and while I advocate for what i can when I can, I dont let politics get in the way of being able to "get out there".
That being said, I am definatley in the minority of REI customers, and there were sure a ton of stinky hippies and yuppy liberals in all forms including the worst kind.... But to me, what matters is having the gear to get out and back home, and in this case, all is left for me to get is a new tent, boots, and outter layer, of which will be from companies that do support "our" cause.
For a guy on a budget wanting to maximise his time "out", well I aont gonna argue with discounts on gear I cant otherwise afford, and to me, that is what matters....
Besides, have any of yalls stopped to consider that wearing greenie liberal gear is the ultimate camoflauge for hunting areas frequented by "them"??
