This was a good idea Todd! Everybody's already mentioned some of the places I like (BCB, REI, Sportsman's Warehouse, etc). Here are a couple more... http://www.thebladeshop.com/great prices on knives http://www.colemans.com/surplus gear... good stuff (has someone already mentioned Coleman's?) http://www.altrec.com/Good camping/hiking gear Again... good idea for this thread. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I bought REI Stormproof matches when I visited relatives in Pittsburgh PA. Nice store and it reminds me of MEC were I buy most of my gear. It's basically the same concept, except they don't make Stormproof matches.

Roger that, I'd much rather do eBay than a lot of normal web stores, and even some brick and mortar ones.
It is competative shopping, buying stuff turned into a sport. Just the thing for the guy who needs to prove that he's "a real man" to himself, yet "sensative and urbane" to his other half. *grins*

No one has mentioned LifeView Outdoors. I think we need to work on our advertising.

I'm hesitant to mention it, since I work there part time, but since you asked: Next Adventure Specializes in new, used, and closeout outdoor gear. Some of our closeouts and used gear is pretty awesome, there's no doubt. J

Same as some of the other posts but also: Don't overlook Amazon http://www.amazon.comIn addition to new books they also have venders that sell harder to find new or used books. Also, check out their sports and outdoors / camping and hiking section. Items vary, but sometimes they have some good deals. For example, today you can get a Victorinox Swiss Army Climber II Pocket Knife for $9.99 (free shipping on orders over $25). Some are direct from Amazon, some from other vendors.

The Epicenter - Great place for hard to find MRE components. Emergency Essentials - Another good long life food provider Chinook Medical - Medical supplies and first aid kits. This is a great thread. Can I nominate it for sticky status <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Craig.
