I've gotta hand it to them: they create a unique shopping experience. Tell me about the last time…read moreyou were at a big box store with a quaint log cabin and pond (with real fish) scene. The ceiling has Spanish Moss hanging from it, making you feel like you're under the canopy of soaring trees in a swamp. At Christmastime, there's a huge tree and cheerful employees at the entrance welcoming you in. You really can't hate it here as much as you try. It's a one stop shop for those with masculine urges (killing things, being one with the elements, grilling dead things)--it's unapologetically so. And this vegan city slicker is definitely not their target audience but I like to have an open mind and I do appreciate the fact that you can find many many practical things here. I'm just not the most practical person. For example, I bought my boat here (2017 Tahoe 1950). Do I even know how to drive the thing? No. But my husband drives me around in it. I hate driving. I like boats. And I can handle nature in small doses (preferably not on triple digit high humidity days). And until you have floated or zipped around these glorious Louisiana waterways, you can't tell me that you are allergic to nature! I recognize a quality store when I see one, even if walking through 20 aisles of bait will never ever be my thing.

Bass pro lost a good sale today because the men behind the gun and knife counter would rather sit…read morethere gossiping like little girls than make a sale. Bass pro lost probably about $300 in sales today. By the way we were the only customers at the counter and still got completely ignored.

Pack and Paddle - Packs for day hiking.  We've got large backpacks as well.

Amazing place to come and get outdoor gears, we drove an hour from Baton Rouge to come to get some…read morethings for our vehicle for kayaking. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, they are very patient and explaining different products and looking up inventory and orders. They spent so much time with us to make sure we are comfortable with what we are purchasing, they have all kinds of things including clothing, tents, shoes, kayaks, tackle boxes...you name it! Best place in the area for sure!! Another huge thing for us is that we bought a losing system to help get a heavy fishing kayak up on my SUV, they have a guy help us to try it out to make sure my husband is comfortable doing it and if he isn't they would let us return it..we love that they really care and not just here to make another dollar!

Pack and Paddle not only feels like a great escape, but there is no better place to prepare you for…read morea great escape! ((If you're able to pry yourself out of the store that is.)) From the minute you walk in, you'll feel the vibes of a cozy cabin in the woods. Climb in a tent, or swing in a hammock. - This place has it goin on! The owners and staff are all so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable! They really make you feel like family. From the community events and guided outdoor adventures they are always something fun going on. I'd venture to say this just might be my husband and I's favorite little spot/shop in Lafayette. There is nothing else quite like it!!!! It's truly a special little treasure to have in our community.
