Having just returned from a 7 day kayaking tour in Baja, I was in the right frame of mind to shop…read moreat RRT. It was a wonderful local shop outfitted for paddling, camping, hiking, and climbing. 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.

I have a Thule bike rack that I bought somewhere besides RRT. I won't name the store because I…read morethink they did their best but I will never buy another Thule from anyone other than RRT. And I may go in there and just buy a bunch of other stuff! I had to call Thule's 800 number after multiple attempts to unlock my bike rack with no real assistance from the place I purchased it. The customer service representative on the phone with Thule gave me RRT's address and phone number. I called and Emily was doing her "bookwork" but she walked up front and handed the "master keys" to her sales help in the store. They seemed to be expecting me when I arrived and Dalton walked out to my car with me. As the customer service representative on the phone had told me, there is a ring of 100 keys and Dalton tried every one of the them. Luckily, we found it after almost 70 different keys but I was treated so well. They didn't have to help me, I didn't buy the Thule Bike Rack from them. But this will be the first place I go in the future! According to Dalton, they offer FREE installation! It's a nice store in Old Milford and it's apparently been there since 2010. I have been biking the trail for years and I promised Emily, no more Thule from anyone but Roads, Rivers and Trails! They ROCK!!!!!!!! They also have a lot of very attractive clothing and equipment. I will let you know after I go back to shop.

He was very knowledgeable and spent as long as it took to fit the perfect ice skate. In fact, he personally laced four pairs himself making it easier to decide which pair felt better. They had a great selection. However, the particular one we chose was not at this location in the size and fit. Austin, with the help of his manager, found it in Michigan and made it possible for us to pick it up there. I was so thankful because it was a great value on the skates. It was also such a treat to have Austin Burns truly care about his client and achieving the best possible pair of ice skates.

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.

I brought the shirts home and washed them - One button fell off. Brought shirt back to store with receipt to exchange. They told me that they would send it back as a warranty complaint and it would cost ME an additional $10! Acted like they were doing me a favor. First time I have ever had this happen that a store does not stand behind what they sell. I decided to take the shirt, find thread that matched and sew the button on myself. Great store, bad customer service!

Have you ever watched the shows "Man vs. Wild" or "Survivor Man" and wondered if you'd be prepared…read moreto survive on your own in the isolated wilderness? 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.
