Lighters at any gas station cost less than a dollar. 25 cents if you buy them wholesale.

Pretty much this. I seriously question whether or not these people that post the threads asking which $700 jacket they should buy even go out.

If you're in a warmer area you can also just bring a hammock instead of a tent/pad and it's pretty comfy

>>1104409
Yeah, shitty lighters are 25 cents each if you buy a pack of them.

Because its a niche market. Most people in the country dont even have access to the outdoors(Texas fag here, 98% private land and never more than a couple hundred yards from a road).

Dont get me wrong, the vast majority of shit is overpriced mediocre gear that panders to the brand fags but it you dish out the money now and make smart purchases youll have gear that lasts your whole life and never lets you down.

Buy once cry once.

Buy cheap thrift store stuff and replace it slowly over time. Just like tools, appliances, and any other durable goods. Buy cheap until you know what is actually worth it.

You're looking in the wrong places, but there is truth to what you are saying. The reason is everything went whizbang; blame the ultralightfaggots. When I bought all of my /out/ gear as a kid, I bought a Jansport external frame, a Quest 3 man tent, and a Coleman sleeping bag. It wasn't the best gear, but it was on par with what your average /out/ist was rucking around because it all works. What with all this lightweight high speed material and young urbanite oneupsmanship, space man stuff has become the average gear, and the prices associated with it have become the norm. Do your research, then go to the thrift store and buy older solid gear. I still use most of the shit I bought as a kid in the Scouts.

buy used gear from ebay. Stop worrying so much about extreme weather/ultralight/super material shit. Most people will never push themselves to the limits where gram over oz counts and will only go out when the weather is nice anyway. Go hike a 10 mile round trip with a shitty tent and sleeping bag and enjoy. yourself.

I’ve been having a series of bad purchases at REI

my hydro flask broke within three months, they refused to exchange it without paying a price difference since I got it in discount

Yesterday I bought some bike tires and inner tubes as well as new climbing shoes and later that day, I got a flat.... also the tires performed like shit. I almost ate shit while trying to cross incoming traffic because the tires slipped. I returned them today and got my money back.

After returning them, I went to try my new shoes at the local climbing gym, and when I put them on, the seam on one of them tore. I only climbed one problem before I noticed. I went AGAIN to return the shoes. I ended up upgrades to non-slippers but I found them online for way cheaper (I literally paid TWICE the price).

I’m gonna keep them for a month since I’m gonna be competing next month and afterwards I’m gonna return them to get my money back (hopefully they will accept them as per their policy but my experience hasn’t really showed me that but still I’m hopeful)

I’m getting tired of this BS. I’m considering stopping buying shit there.

Sorry. I had to vent. Shit is expensive and I keep on getting faulty / shitty stuff.

I think I’m just gonna but shit online like everyone else. I liked their dividend program and exchange policy (until the hydro flask incident) but I just keep having bad luck with them!

I remember your hydroflask story. I'm an outfitter and based on the story it seems to me that you bought the old version on clearance and that's where the issue lies. They did update the hydroflasks this year.

Because once people get a nice, sturdy, functional piece of gear, they keep it forever. Companies make more money if your gear has batteries that can wear out, a coating that can flake off, cheap plastic that can become brittle and crack, etc
What size are you looking for?

I was going for Max a litre. Wanted stainless too but the only thing the shop I went to sold was aluminium. The rest of the kettles were crazy expansive and have whatsists everywhere and rubber grips and I want my kettle on a fire. Not in my kitchen.

Expensive kit is nice but not needed. If you want high end gear look for second hand. I haven't bought anything first hand for ages. Gear heads always get the latest stuff, use it once or twice, then get hungry for another purchase so sell at a discount. I buy stuff that is near new at like 40% off.
