They have a great selection of Patagonia and KÜHL clothing, including hiking shirts, sun shirts, and hiking dresses. You'll also find hiking shoes, socks, backpacks, water bottles, hydration reservoirs, sunglasses, books, stickers, beach towels, hammocks, board games, camping cookware, propane for camp stoves, camp chairs (including a rocking camping chair!), mugs, dog accessories, and even kayaks. Whether you're gearing up for a day hike or a camping trip, it's a fun store to browse and easy to spend a lot of time in. I enjoy supporting a local business while stocking up on camping supplies!

He was very knowledgeable and spent as long as it took to fit the perfect ice skate. In fact, he personally laced four pairs himself making it easier to decide which pair felt better. They had a great selection. However, the particular one we chose was not at this location in the size and fit. Austin, with the help of his manager, found it in Michigan and made it possible for us to pick it up there. I was so thankful because it was a great value on the skates. It was also such a treat to have Austin Burns truly care about his client and achieving the best possible pair of ice skates.

The subject of bugging out and Bug Out Bags is a popular one and for good reason, disasters like…read morehurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, flash floods or other natural disaster, could force survivors to "head for the hills" in search of safer ground. We are constantly threatened by a series of potential disasters, both natural and man-made. For someone new to being a Survivalist building your first Bug Out Bag can seem like a big task. Everybody you read about has been tweaking theirs for months or even years and has a pile of gear built up. The military load bearing system is set up in a 3 day (web gear), 5-7 day (rucksack), and a 14 day (duffle bag/footlocker). It's hard to know where to start, but if you cover all of the basics in a survival situation you will still be much better off than 99% of the people. A Bug Out Bag, (also called a BOB, Get Out of Dodge Bag, GOOD, or 72 Hour Bag) is usually designed to get you out of an emergency situation and allow you to survive self-contained for up to 3 days. A lot of people plan their Bug Out Bag to sustain them for much longer than that, but there is always a limit to what you can carry on your back and a 3 day target is a good place to start. I like how Preppers Edge has developed a complete line of Bug Out Bags that range from short or long term needs. Taking the guess work out of what to pack is of vital importance to me. I've spent countless hours of research on the web and have concluded that Preppers Edge offers the most comprehensive and well assembled bags money can buy. I wouldn't trust the survival of my family to any other brand.

Have you ever watched the shows "Man vs. Wild" or "Survivor Man" and wondered if you'd be prepared…read moreto survive on your own in the isolated wilderness? If so, than I suggest easing your mind by stocking up at Gear Up, a new camping and emergency outfitters specialty store in Florence. Gear Up sells standard camping supplies (sleeping bags, backpacks, portable stoves, lanterns), survival gear (knives, rappelling gear), and emergency supplies (food rations, water purification). All of the goods I browsed look very high-quality (and pretty expensive), so they are marketed more to the serious backcountry campers than the RV and state park campers. Gear Up also sells a number of survivalist books, many of which are about self-defense. After skimming through a few volumes, I realized the target audience is a bit paranoid and a bit practical--folks who want to know how to kill someone with their bare hands (theoretically, I hope). If that sounds like you, check out Gear Up on Mall Rd.
