A few days ago I got my flyer informing me about REI’s upcoming sale on the 21st. So, are you going to buy anything? I’m going to get a new pair of La Sportiva shoes. I’m also thinking about a new tent.
Regards,
DR

I'm trying really hard not to buy anything, any more, forever. I turn 70 this Fall, so I'm not sure I'd get the full use out of any new tent, etc... That said, I bought a new quilt last year and a new tent this past Jan. Most of my Big 3 gear is from cottage makers.

This sale has me distressed because I don't need anything.

I need boots, badly. Last time I checked, a few weeks ago, they were out of most sizes of my boots, including mine, and had no idea when they would be able to get more. I will be checking, though. Anything else would be “want” rather than “need”.

I was about to say nothing, nope, but then jazzmom said socks. Then my brain said bargains on socks and balding headcovers.

Helinox Chair Zero for my wife. If the chair will be used on anything other than a hard surface, you may also want to get the Helinox Chair Zero Groundsheet.

Blew my budget. But I saved a bunch. New car-camping tent and a new backpack.

I did that a few years back. Got an REI Base Camp 6. I’ve been satisfied.nice and high so even at my 6’2” I can stand inside it. A plus for car camps where the weather, or black flies, can get bad. I’m sitting in it now at Golden Beach campground on Raquette Lake and it’s keeping the black flies and mosquitos at bay.
