Thanks Joes, now she enjoys shooting as much as I do and she can now outshoot me and has a permit to carry and keeps a gun on her or at least in her car. You set her up with a 380 but she likes a little bit larger handgun. And the prices are unbelievably low on new and used guns. she also let me buy a 44mag and she likes to soot that too. I have to keep telling her that we have enough guns! See that you started Joe's! She won't shop anywhere else for guns!

I brought my daughter here for a little shopping trip, we looked at clothing then moved on to…read morebikes. Her birthday was coming up and I wanted to get her a strider bike. I had her stand on one to check out some measurements. The bikes weren't put away, they were just stacked by boxes in the corner. My daughter stood on one for a minute--I was standing right by her and giving her my undivided attention. At this moment, an employee (older man, white hair) walked by us and rudely said "no riding in the store." And kept walking. Not "can I help fit you for a bike?" Or "can I help you find the right kind of bike?" Not even a "please". I don't expect everyone to adore my kids, but I do expect people to be respectful to them and them to be respectful to others. REI will never get a single dime from me again. This is the second time I've had an unsavory experience with the same employee. I don't understand how it can be difficult to treat people nicely, I can find much better customer service and better prices at Target.

I have practically lived in my pants since the pandemic and felt it was time for some new pairs. Even though somewhat frayed in the cuffs mine still have lots of life left. There is a large variety of styles which can be confusing (at least for me) so it is nice to have brick and mortar store to actually look at the products and try them on. This store is well stocked and the staff were helpful in pointing me in right direction to find what I was looking for. I ended up buying four pairs of pants. The store is located in a shopping center at the North West corner of the intersection of 494 and Lyndale Avenue South. Parking is abundant.

Called the store 3 times, talked to someone else each time. Nobody ever calls back. Manager doesn't call back, GM doesn't call back. They clearly do not stand behind their brand or business. If you buy an expensive gun, DO NOT bring it here to have any maintenance done on it. Take it to Cabella's where they're professional and actually address the situation to try to make it right

We came in there with the family looking for long underwear and a puffy winter jacket for my son…read more I know, toddlers quickly outgrow this stuff after a year and this stuff is expensive, etc. However, for some things, I like to get durable quality. The puffy jacket somehow holds up to my son tearing up playgrounds, climbing all over stuff, rolling around, and generally beating up the coat - and it keeps on going, looks as good as new. So, I am ok with getting another when he outgrew the last one - which is still in great shape and we can re-use for his little sister. Also, we like coming here because the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful finding the right product, the right size, etc.

SIGH) So -- that fleece that used to be like oh hell no I could never spend $300 is now $120 which feels like an ok price. And the tshirts are probably still too $$, but maybe as a treat for myself someday? But the winter parkas at 40% off? Yes.

I came in for a running headlight. There were tons of options as headlights double for hiking, camping, etc. I was able to get a light and be on my way. However, it was a bit overwhelming with so much depth in every area, but "REI" depth - lots of base layers, rows of Gore-Tex jackets, etc. - not a lot of variety in brands and items - seemed a bit stale. I shop a lot at Scheels and Cabela's and they merchandise very well with lots of brands across different price points. It was also hard to find someone that worked there to help me even though the store was empty, but the checkout people were nice.

The trip takes about 2 hours if the river is flowing fast but in Aug 2021, the river was super low and they said that it was taking folks 3-5 hours. You leave your car at the take-out and they shuttle you up. I only had 2 hours. I called and they left a kayak out for me at the Dundas take-out. In the morning, I paddled up river to the Cannon River Wilderness Area (I'd guess 2 miles) and then paddled back to the take-out. It was really pretty. It is all trees along this section of river. I saw lots of birds. I think the part in the wilderness area is even nicer so do the 7-mi trip if you have time. If you do the trip when the river is low, make sure to take shoes for walking in the river. You'll need to get out and drag the boat sometimes. So like tennis shoes not flip flops. The owner was super nice and helpful on the phone.
