The REI brand stuff (which is mostly what we buy) is about half the price of the other stuff and really very good, and when it's on sale I think it's an awesome deal.

Someday when I'm an expert like you I'll scoff at people who go to REI but for now it's extremely helpful.J-Funkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02348757702939322368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12772262.post-66768399033314115582007-09-10T02:53:00.000-07:002007-09-10T02:53:00.000-07:00Guess that wasn't clear...
