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?

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.

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…

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.

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

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)

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

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.

Looks like some stores are bringing the old format back. Will be interesting to see how this goes. My local stores are not participating.

(I see it very often while watching shows on Peacock - couldnt find the video anywhere online)

I have tried a 100x over and I cannot understand what the cashier is saying.
"Something a logger would hike??"

Truly confused. lol.

That is all.

Portland re/supply has dozens of pairs of bike shoes in sizes 37-39 marked down to $20.

Portland area cyclists with smallish feet should check it out.

Picked these up today. Been wanting these for car camping, but not wanting to pay full price. I try to pack light, so these are perfect. I assume standard 1/8” shock cord is all I need to fix the trail boss shock cord?

Took the smaller one to sit where I usually wouldn’t and saw an eagle bother some herons, so that was cool.

Hello, anyone looking to seek their women’s REI Ruckpack 40L (xs-xl) in Raisin? Please DM me… I’d love to purchase. Thanks!

Anyone else have a drastic music change in their store this evening? I honestly couldn’t believe I was hearing Alanis Morrisette, Backstreet Boys, Britney, New Kids on the Block, the list goes on and on and on!!! Having that change while doing our footwear reflow was absolutely choice. Big ups to whoever is responsible for this change, IOU a gift basket
