Like most of us I do not buy from REI due to the fact of them heavily supporting the sierra club who in turn wants to close down our trails.
Who do you use for getting your camping/outdoor supplies from that either helps off-roaders or at least does not hurt them?

I think the new Gander Mtn. store we have is good to buy from. I don't know for sure but they sell and service a shitload of ATV's so they probably don't hurt.

their "outdoor conservation partners" don't raise any red flags.

Sportsman Whare House

Sells guns, ammo, hi-lifts, outdoor clothes, tents, ohhh and did I mention guns

Also use L.L. Bean a lot

I don't know up here in Solano County We use Family Adventure Outfitters on 810 Davis St for the wheeling, towing, rockcrawling stuff. But most of the camping stuff I rely on military surplus.

What about Academy?

I would think Bass Pro and Gander Mtn would be on the OK side.

a couple local shops.then Gander Mt when im in Charleston sometimes order from Bass Pro

Out here in the west / southwest we have Big 5.

You have to sort through the cheap junk in the store to get to the quality stuff, but you can find top of the line last years model stuff for big time cheap. Also, when they have sales there are smoking deals. I bought a 12X12 EZUp for $69.00 at the last Memorial Day sale. Coleman chairs for 7 bucks, stuff like that...

I've yet to go to the Sportsman's Warehouse because I'm afraid of leaving a huge hole in my wallet.

If anyone is looking for good wall tents, go to www.kwikkamp.com

These guys are semi-local, and are serious hunters/outdoorsman. They also build Noble horse panels, stall fronts, etc... Some of you with horses will recognise the name.

Most of my stuff comes from Bass Pro Shops.
