There are sports stores and then there are gems like this. If you need it, this place has it or it can be had. Like with my taste in food, I will travel great distances to find that one great place. My entire life has centered around outdoor activities that do not require a ball of some sort. This has also turned me into a gear fanatic, so yes, I can go broke quick here. On that note, the gear you will find here is reasonably priced. I used to travel to Indy for my gear habit, but REI is just to big and Rusted Moon, although cool, is just too proud. This is the place. This is the gear you want.

The owner is retired,( at a very young age). The oldest is around seventy). He is about like a fifty year old in his physical abilities. Also with a few select others. The main advantage here is that the employees (not salesman). Have actually used the equipment that you are looking at. The younger ones do not try to push it out the door (make a sale). Have you ever noticed that if you watch a T.V. show? That some piece of equipment you saw will suddenly show up in all the stores? It is always made in China? When you take I camping isn't that always the time it seams to well not perform as well as it looked like it should? This is the main advantage of this store. Knowing what to use, and not carry twice as much as needed. This was the part that bankrupted one of there competitors. Roots sporting goods, they tried to carry everything, the staff was overrun and id not know what they are doing. Even I could tell. Earth Adventures only does a few things; one of their newest classes that is offered is an emergency preparedness class. This is better than what the Red Cross-offers. Can you pick up one bag, and walk out the front door, for three days? Then have a second bag for seven days? I could just get in my van and drive off.

I was just amazed by the variety, volume, and selections of items available. There is just so much to choose from and items from every category of needs for backpacking or hiking can be found here. Right after I visited Backpackers Shop I went to another similar popular shop and was not impressed with it. I just wanted to go back to the Backpackers Shop because I knew they'd have multiple things to choose from for the needs. Not only do they have anything i think I might need for backpacking or hiking but their staff are a wealth of knowledge and experience. I talked with a guy who hiked the AT trail and another worker who had just hiked the trail I am planning to backpack through. They were a gold mine of knowledge and wise advice. I love Backpackers Shop
