They have a great selection of Patagonia and KÜHL clothing, including hiking shirts, sun shirts, and hiking dresses. You'll also find hiking shoes, socks, backpacks, water bottles, hydration reservoirs, sunglasses, books, stickers, beach towels, hammocks, board games, camping cookware, propane for camp stoves, camp chairs (including a rocking camping chair!), mugs, dog accessories, and even kayaks. Whether you're gearing up for a day hike or a camping trip, it's a fun store to browse and easy to spend a lot of time in. I enjoy supporting a local business while stocking up on camping supplies!

I was very impressed with the book selection and the friendly staff. I'll definitely be a regular here - and I hope it will encourage me to do some more local outdoorsy things. It seems like there's quite a community for paddling - either by canoe or kayak.

Ordered a Suppressor*******(That was complete with factory thread adapter in a sealed product that…read morevoids the warranty if removed according to the manufacturer)***** and did all of my paperwork etc last Saturday. I got my approval a few days later, so I stopped into the shop to pick it up on 9-11 at 4pm. Waited until 430pm until I was actually helped. Salesman I believe his name is Scott helped me. He took my ID and proceeded to get my item. He returns with my item that was in a ripped-up box sleeve that wasn't like that prior to doing my paperwork. We start the transfer paperwork and open the box. ************Someone did the switcharoo on my FFL item that was registered to me per the ATF. This suppressor had a different serial number and was in my box that had the correct serial number. Salesman proceeds to go look for the item and thought it was in the other box which it was not. Thirty minutes pass and we locate my Suppressor which was in the display case. Upon handing me my item I noticed it was missing something(Thread adapter). I inform the sales guy and we compare the one that wasn't mine to mine. It was factory condition and had the factory adapter. The salesman mentioned that in the past two employees got fired for giving two different customers wrong FFL items. Salesman goes and shows is manager while I am waiting, I hear a metal clang in the back room. Then a few minutes later the manager at the gun counter I think his name is Rick(tall young guy, with long hair) comes out holding the one that wasn't mine and mine. He claimed that they were the exact same and mine was as it was from the factory. I disagreed and had him pull a fresh one from the case (Factory condition with factory thread adapter in it). I told him that's how mine was supposed to be and it wasn't. After some arguing he said that he would include a free adapter with it. *******(Someone in your gun department without my knowledge disassembled my paid for product which is a breach of contract)****** I was reluctant to take the offer and the sales manager pressured me into it saying it was already assigned to me and I had to take it. I told him we could just cancel it and he could refund my money. The salesman mentioned that in the past two employees got fired for giving two different customers wrong FFL items. He assured me that the item was not missing anything, so I took it home. I return the next morning with my item because I was unsure that if it was compromised or not and wanted to just return it. I read on the manufacturer's website that if any suppressor has any alterations, they will not warranty it. An aftermarket thread adapter inside a sealed suppressor that the manufacturer says per the manual owner is not to remove any part of the product for any type of cleaning. I arrived at 9am and asked for the manager, which did not disclose his name, and he came out heated as at first. I explained the whole situation to him, and he proceeds to try to tell me that it is factory and that they are all like that. He pulls three out of the case and shows me.(They are all three missing the thread adapters. These employees are illegally modifying suppressors and selling them to people by removing the thread adapter) I had him pull one from the bottom shelf and guess what it had the factory thread adapter which mine was missing. I told him that I do not feel comfortable even attempting to shoot a gun with my product because it could cause bodily harm if it is missing anything else. We had a heated argument, and he acted like I didn't know anything about suppressors. He pulls a completely different suppressor out and tells me mine and that one is different. I know that because his is a different caliber and model than mine. We argue again, because I told him I want my money back or would even accept store credit. He said no because I took the item last night which was like 15 hours prior under the assumption I had to per the previous management. We argue some more and he retrieves my item and paperwork from the back where he took them to. I show him the owner's manual stating the warranty will be voided per and modifying of the product. He disagreed and said it wasn't for my suppressor, so I scrolled up and showed him my model. He pushes my stuff to me and aggressively says "You have to take it up with corporate". I apologized to him for the issue and expressed my concerns. Told him I know it's not his fault but someone there did something to my product.

The subject of bugging out and Bug Out Bags is a popular one and for good reason, disasters like…read morehurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, flash floods or other natural disaster, could force survivors to "head for the hills" in search of safer ground. We are constantly threatened by a series of potential disasters, both natural and man-made. For someone new to being a Survivalist building your first Bug Out Bag can seem like a big task. Everybody you read about has been tweaking theirs for months or even years and has a pile of gear built up. The military load bearing system is set up in a 3 day (web gear), 5-7 day (rucksack), and a 14 day (duffle bag/footlocker). It's hard to know where to start, but if you cover all of the basics in a survival situation you will still be much better off than 99% of the people. A Bug Out Bag, (also called a BOB, Get Out of Dodge Bag, GOOD, or 72 Hour Bag) is usually designed to get you out of an emergency situation and allow you to survive self-contained for up to 3 days. A lot of people plan their Bug Out Bag to sustain them for much longer than that, but there is always a limit to what you can carry on your back and a 3 day target is a good place to start. I like how Preppers Edge has developed a complete line of Bug Out Bags that range from short or long term needs. Taking the guess work out of what to pack is of vital importance to me. I've spent countless hours of research on the web and have concluded that Preppers Edge offers the most comprehensive and well assembled bags money can buy. I wouldn't trust the survival of my family to any other brand.

If so, than I suggest easing your mind by stocking up at Gear Up, a new camping and emergency outfitters specialty store in Florence. Gear Up sells standard camping supplies (sleeping bags, backpacks, portable stoves, lanterns), survival gear (knives, rappelling gear), and emergency supplies (food rations, water purification). All of the goods I browsed look very high-quality (and pretty expensive), so they are marketed more to the serious backcountry campers than the RV and state park campers. Gear Up also sells a number of survivalist books, many of which are about self-defense. After skimming through a few volumes, I realized the target audience is a bit paranoid and a bit practical--folks who want to know how to kill someone with their bare hands (theoretically, I hope). If that sounds like you, check out Gear Up on Mall Rd.
