Sure, it’s a hippie store and designed around hikers. They have some high quality products in that place and customer service is second to none. When we lived in LosAnchorage we had one a few miles from the house and spent a couple grand a year on their products.

I would go in and buy dried foods for sampling before buying bulk for the zombie stash. I bought a couple of stoves for the same reason and some medical supplies as well. This is also where I get safety supplies for the “truck/car bag”. (Maybe I should’ve put this in the survivalist forum...)

Anyways, getting off track a bit. I bought a pair of sunglasses from them back in 2011...I returned them yesterday and got a full refund. They have since changed their return policy to limit it to a year for in store returns but still honored what the warranty was when I purchased the glasses.

For how often threads pop up about cold weather gear/rain gear/socks and whatever else, I wanted to share this store. The quality of products sold by them is top notch. Every product! They don’t sell any cheap shit/knock off garbage. You get what you pay for in the products.

Good luck and happy shopping! They have a reward program that I’d suggest signing up for if you plan to buy from them. You get in store dividends and don’t need recites for returns if you sign up.

Not every item needs to be camo. I don’t own a single base layer or intermediate that’s camo. Hell, even my best rain gear isn’t camo it’s Coyote Brown. So is my wind gear...

I need new socks...probably put an order in this week. Figured I’d bump this for anyone else needing something for summer. #cottonsockssuck

Wait, damn it! They are, I remember them being part of the Kroger company. Depressing me now. Thanks for bringing it before I spent my money with them.

This is all starting to take me to a new level of pissed off...can’t even buy socks without punching yourself in the face! Underwear made by under armor...gone. Now my socks😢. What’s next, oil industry? Can’t buy gas at Kroger anymore, so I guess we’re already there. Cornered into self destruction...at least we still have pornhub.

Yep. Values are rarely easy to stand up for and usually require personal sacrifice. The scary thing is it is evident that we can't hold back the anti gun forces forever. We're slowly losing the war.. This is why I am adamant to supporting your local small business sporting goofs stores. The last thing we went is to rely solely on a big corporation and trust they won't betray us. Cabelas and bass pro are fine and all but we can't say without a doubt they wouldn't sell us out to protect their other product lines if the heat got real hot.

How long will this country last like this...

Well if we look to the history of nations such a divide always ends badly. Civil war, genocide, persecution.

The Nazis were ridding germany of undesirables, not just jews but also "liberals" and other lefty types such as artists etc. Hitler killed about 6 million jews. But he also killed about 10 million others such as jehovas witnesses, Gypsies, homosexuals, repeat criminal offenders, political opposition, immigrants etc. The soviet union lost about 11 million soldiers fighting the Germans. Guess who got conscripted and thrown to the front. Russia's undesirables. Hitler did it with gas chambers and bullets and comitted crimes. Stalin sent them to the front line and got rid of them "legally". Both countries accomplished the same thing in the end, ridding themselves of their undesirables.

I say that to say this. Never in history has a nation ever existed without at some point hitting a reset button. This goes back to the crusades. It's inevitable that it will happen here again just as it did during the civil war. Not that we want it to, but rather that's just how it has worked since humans walked this earth.

I predict a reset more than a civil war. No Mason-Dixon line. The Right in Cali wants to secede from LA/Sacramento. DFW and Austin are now fully Left majority voting.

We are too diluted to have lines to fight within. Which means we will keep kicking the can and the Debt dam will break. Then we will have to choose....

Reset back to what made us great or go the route of listening to who says they have a "fix" but that means giving up Liberties. This is how all dictatorial govs get their start...
