Bump, because I feel my questions dont really warrant a new thread since they fit in this quite well.
I'm a europoor currently in vancouver, but I'll head to San Francisco _(and maybe Seattle) in 3 weeks.
Anything I SHOULD get at REI (and/or MEC) that I can't get in Europe or only for significantly more expensive?
I dont really need anything, (apart from a beanie and maybe some cams) but yeah, outdoor gear… you never have enough…
Must be lighter than 1kg/2lbs because of flight luggage.
Seems like the ultralight camalots are quite a bit chaper in Canada than they are in Germany, but in the US they now cost the same as back home, but 70€ to taxes (I never get how much stuff really costs over here) vs. 80€ a piece does not really seem worth the hassle. Maybe on sale, but there seems to be no in-store sales on stuff I'd actually want to.
