I bought a rolling pin and I love it, has a good weight but is well balanced and just a great product. I would literally drive across the state again to go here. He even teaches classes for those who want to learn.

Absolutely unacceptable experience at Nuts Outdoors…read more Our group rented E-bikes from Nuts Outdoors and were shocked by the complete disregard for participant safety. Staff made no effort to ensure bikes were the correct size for riders, and none of the seats were adjusted to proper height. Now I'm a reasonable person and I'm not expecting these guys to give each member of our group a professional bike fitting measuring knee lockout angles and such, but making sure they can reach the ground when stopping and are comfortable on a 50-60lb bike isn't asking for much. These are pretty basic safety measures you'd expect from any reputable rental service. Even worse, the brakes were wildly inconsistent: some bikes had hyper-sensitive brakes, while others had virtually none at all. It was a disaster waiting to happen. While I understand that, yes, we did sign liability waivers before participating. It should be noted that regardless of the liability waivers. It did not seem as though the staff had any interest in the ensuring the safety of the equipment being used by their patrons, which is completely unacceptable regardless of any waiver. One of our participants suffered a serious injury--a broken ankle--due to these unsafe conditions. When we contacted the business to request a refund for those of us who had to take a ride to the hospital and end the ride after about 30 minutes, we were met with hostility. The person on the phone berated us, used excessive profanity, and showed zero empathy or professionalism. Avoid this place at all costs. Safety and customer service are clearly not part of their business model.

Whenever we are in Galena, and the weather is nice, we like to kayak through Nuts Outdoors. It is…read morealways convenient, affordable, and an absolute blast! Also, it is one of the best ways to take-in the sights and beauty of Galena and the surrounding area! There are several options to chose from, including different lengths of time to rent, different styles and sizes of kayaks, and different routes. Not to mention the other equipment for outdoor adventures. There bike selection is outstanding! That being said, we always do the same thing: the 2-hour 9-11am single kayak trip. We also purchase the deal that starts right downtown Galena just down the street from Nuts Outdoors where the bridge crosses the Galena River. We love the convenience and the super-quick turnaround from store-front to water. Once you check-in at the store, you can walk or drive down to the dock, and the store worker meets you there with the boat, oars, and life-jacket (safety first)! There the staff person helps you into the boat and into the water. Just as a side note, the staff are always super friendly, helpful, and clearly experts. You are definitely in good hands. During our two hours, we paddle pretty consistently upstream for about an hour. We love the gorgeous views of the river banks, trees, and surrounding hills. We were SO LUCKY with the warm end-of-October weather last weekend that we were able to kayak and enjoy the fantastic fall colors! Wow! After the first hour, we like to kick-back, relax, have a drink, and float. We still need to paddle a little bit to make it back on time, but it is definitely relaxing. And so fun to take in the sights, sounds, and smells. Some highlights this time included blue jays, a whole bunch of cardinals, and the wind rustling the fall leaves. We've seen muskrats, large birds, and deer in the past! All this to say, if you're heading over to Galena and like outdoor adventures, don't miss out on a kayaking (or biking!) adventure with Nuts Outdoors!
