Thanks Chefness (ABCs of Hiking , March 20, 2009), CoolWorks is so awesome! People don't always assume everybody's a pro or experienced !

This is a nice little addition to CoolWorks. My first real job was selling camping equipment for three years and I like toys as much as the rest of you. Nextag.com is a price comparison search site that will find you the best prices on anything. I just found a Osprey Elroy courier bag for $75 and they normally go for at least $95.

Cisco et al - We love REI Outlet. If you click through on this ad, you get a deal and we get a commission. Win-win for all!

Hey now,
here's a couple of links to some of my favorite shopping sites for gear, haven't yet compared them to other sites linked to this page.

REI Outlet offers bargins and closeouts from REI
Next Adventure is a great gear shop in Portland offering new and resale outdoor gear as well as shopping online. They buy and trade stuff too.

Hey all, for those of you who want to hike, but don't know a whole lot about the gear involved, safety measures, or anything else, this site helped me out a lot: ABCs of Hiking

We had a lively chat about Gear on Monday, March 16 and caught most of the links and ideas here. Check it out.
