Most major retailers like REI, Moosejaw, Backcountry.com all have clearance/discount pages where they put last year's models and colors.

Another good option is geartrade, which is all second hand gear.

Offline look around for gear swaps and consignment stores.

Went to Cabelas in wheeling today and they had ton of hiking/camping/backpacking stuff on clearance. I'm assuming it slows down in sales in the Fall

whenever some idiot desperately attempts to sell it under cost on craigslist.
seriously.

How do I become kayak?

>>855030
Do you have a job?

Gear really isn't that expensive and backpacking can be a really cheap vacation

I'm so disappointed with REI Garage vs. the old REI Outlet.

They really fucked it.

What's different?

They can still sell their shit for overpriced even when used now

woot.com

It's amazon's surplus outlet. Constantly rotating stock, but there's a dedicated outdoor section on it. Get the app for your phone, as it's easier to navigate, and gives you all the app exclusive content (usually the highest discounted)

There's 3 types of things you'll find on woot. Utter trash, great deals (these go the quickest) and Start up company/trial product (gamble, but I've gotten a $300 scope for my rifle for $25 last year, and a solar charger that can charge a phone in real time for $20 without an added battery pack)

Check it often, as it looks like there's been a lot of end of summer sales for camping gear, but most of it has been trash

This week I picked up Slumberjack's most high end down sleeping bag rated to -20 degrees for 130 after shipping and tax. Sells for 270 on amazon right now.

No, I mean what specifically did they change when they went from the outlet to the garage. What's different?

Shill brands on YouTube to pay for gear? My friend has a YouTube channel where he just posts videos once a week of his weekend fishing trips fucking around. He always has some bait company or boat accessory company pay him $25-50 to talk about their brand for a few seconds saying "I only use ___ chum bait." while baiting his hook in the video. Pays for his fishing trip.

t. a dumb poorfag that speaks without knowledge

Unlike dumb poorfag thinks, the REI Garage took over the old REI Outlet and sells new gear. Yes items are still 30%-75% off, but the format just plain sucks.

It was easier to find what I wanted before and since I actually HAVE a job, unlike dumb poorfag, I liked spending the least amount of worktime (and money) finding and buying what I want.

In for over $500 x4 gift cards by now. I get 4x gas points buying my REI giftcards ang score 2000 points/ea for up to $1 off per gallon.

At one point last summer I paid $0.59/gal.

> roadtrip!

Outlet was all new gear on closeout, Garage is all new gear on closeout. The only thing that changed was the name and the page layout.

REI stopped carrying American Made climbing gear. They love the slant eyes, and hate the labor force in America. The quality of climbing product has deviated from durabilty to color coordinated autismo profit margins. They are no longer a co-op. Did you know REI used to manufacture climbing gear? Did you know REI changed product ranges to maintain profit margins because American Manufacturers sell at price so REI can't profit? Did you know that REI revoked the lifetime warranty on all their products at the same time they started selling slant eye throw away gear?

here's a pic of a bolt that was precisely and intelligently placed in the 1980's that was chopped a few years ago by some newfag who was acting "independently" while borrowing a drill from the local climbing organization. Don't worry, the shitstain never climbed the route before initiating the retro work, even though the route was maintained, and let's not forget the cunt was also informed on which bolts were still solid, of course, those were the only ones chopped, and the corroded bolts were never replaced.

This post literally has nothing to do with what we're talking about, which is "what's the difference between the old outlet and the new garage" but I'm glad you could get all that off your chest. It must have been really weighing in you.
