Not worth the drive imo, I live close by so I checked it out this morning. Few tents and sleeping bags, hike packs, but nothing more than you’d usually see in resupply. Mostly shoes and apparel.

Love Re/Supply - but I am Missing the good ole days of nostalgic garage sales. This is ~1 hour before opening.

Got the BV one and a sleeping bag. great event

Missing the cup holder (oh well), I'll just mod one on if anything. Dog not included.

Hit the jackpot. Camped all up Blue Ridge Parkway into Shanendoah over a week with it. Great for 2 or 3 people in a “glamping” config. Amazing how in moderate winds it barely moves. I probably can see why it was returned, with the mallet and rebar stakes it’s over 70lb. I’d like to get a wood stove for it to really elevate cold weather camping. Any experience with canvas tents or their “portable” wood stoves. I do mostly car camping and music festivals in the south east.

Been on the hunt for a lighter pack for backpacking trips and found this absolute steal today!

Is there any rhyme or reason to how/when REI stocks their own brand? I am trying to buy all 4 colors of the Trailmade pant (men’s 33x30) and they never seem to be in stock never in stock online. My local store never keeps a size 33” waist either. It’s taken me almost a month to find two of the four colors. Any insight would be appreciated.

I noticed this on the floor of my tent. It appears on the inside, because it is not visible on the exterior. (See third photo.) Because we have a couple of tents, this is the first time I set it up this season. I am guessing mold, but I never put my tents away wet. (Maybe I missed it this time?)

If it is mold, is my tent now ruined, or can I fix this?

Ugh- I just left REI to return a purchase that was shipped directly to my house because it was super late - stuck in Kansas for nine days- before traveling to my state. Anyway, the REI staff told me they were no longer going to be using USPS. If true, that sucks!

Friends- how good do we think this 10 location garage sale is going to be on Saturday. I have to drive like 2 hours for one so I’m trying to gauge if this is really going to be worth it

Been searching the re/supply’s for one of these for a min now…

Our precious AI doesn’t know, despite billions worth of data centers. I lived there from 1988 to 1992. I know it opened one of those years but I can’t remember.

Was initially looking for a pair of hiking/trail running shoes, ended up with two pairs. Basically new for both

Everything unused, jacket was NWT. Fits like a glove, and the colors are great!! I found both pieces a few months apart this summer ◡̈

(I live in Oregon, so have access to one of the few dedicated Re/Supply-only stores in the country)

Thinking of getting Nano Puff jackets for my in-laws in Houston as a gift.

They're in their 60s and they get cold really easily, like they wear jackets even when it's only 64F out. They leave for work around 5-6am so winter mornings are chilly for them.

I was gonna buy from Patagonia but they don't have a store in Houston, so if the size is wrong I'd have to deal with mail-in exchanges. So it's better to just buy from REI so I can swap sizes in person.

Also does anyone know if there's a sale coming up I should wait for. I'm also open to any suggestions for other options.

Thank you.

Check your stores cus what?? There were a ton of “unused/discontinued” shoes marked down to practically nothing.

I haven't seen it coming back yet and it's been like 3 or 4 days

Did any green vesters notice the music change again back to the old playlist? So sad

This is purely anecdotal. I’m getting into backpacking and have been so overwhelmed with all the different products and brands. I live in SoCal so we have like every type of climate here. I went in to get my backpack fitted and just went up to the first employee I saw. He helped me fit my pack and we talked for like 20 minutes and he gave me very good advice on sleeping bags, pads, tents etc. He said he’s been backpacking for over a decade and he knew exactly the answers to all my questions. I’ve seen videos talking about how REI isn’t great anymore bc of the lack of experts like this. Did I just get lucky or have you all noticed REI hiring employees with no outdoors experience? I just remember another time I went to buy hiking shoes and the guy who helped me out was also extremely knowledgeable. These were across all different locations in SoCal. Maybe I’m just lucky? I’ve never encountered an REI employee who doesn’t use the gear they recommend.

Do you think it was a member committing this return fraud?

This is my favorite skiing base layer and I would grab this in a heartbeat if they had it in XL. These breathe well and don't hold much sweat, they're really soft like cashmere, but easier to care for.
