Great Gear Shop
by gearguy at Citysearch
A great place to shop for gear. They have many top brands at prices that are really discounted. I also like the fact that I can trade in stuff that I don't need anymore.
- Pros: super prices, friendly employees

Outdoor Gear Treasure Chest
by sexkitten at Citysearch
I've lived in this area for several years and recently discovered Wilderness Exchange when I was out walking my dog. An hour and a half later I left the store a couple hundred dollars poorer - but I had a new backpack, a pair of hiking boots, 2 trail guide books and a frisbee (only 89cents) for my dog. I figure that I saved well over $100. and made my dog a little happier. It was also fun reminiscing over all the antique outdoor gear displaye throughout the store. Will be back soon!
- Pros: Unbelievable prices, knowledgeable help, good food nearby
