I happened to be in front of The Mountain Man Outdoor Store and one of the owners, John I believe he is called, brought me an elk jerky from his shop. So good! Even good enough to start my bum ticker a-tickin again. I immediately stood up and felt good enough to punch a trust-fund street urchin standing nearby (I didn't though.) What I did do was proceed immediately to the welcoming interior of the store, only to find an outdoor Nirvana, indoors. Somewhat greatful to owner John, I started to avail myself of the offerings- Shirts, jackets, flashy things, maps, snackages, socks, a knife (for cutting), stickers, postcards, a rope and everything I needed to begin my life anew in the nearby wood. You can do this too! The shopping thing I mean. Not the woods, or heart attack. Or maybe you could! I don't know! How did you find me??

I had heard about Scheels for years but never stepped inside one. A friend of mine from Minnesota…read moreused to drive past the huge Scheels billboards whenever I visited, and for some reason I assumed it was more of a farm supply type place where people bought machinery and work clothes. Because of that completely wrong assumption, I never bothered to go in. Fast forward a few years and after reading the reviews here in Colorado I finally decided I had to see it for myself. Yesterday, March 6th, the weather was miserable. Cold, windy, light snow and rain. Not the kind of day you want to be outside, let alone skiing. So I figured it was the perfect day to finally give Scheels a try. I ended up spending five hours in the store and taking more than 250 photos, and this place absolutely blew my mind. There were sports and equipment sections I didn't even know existed. The store truly has everything you could possibly need and then some. What impressed me most was the staff. They were knowledgeable and helpful but didn't hover every five seconds like some stores do, which allowed me to really explore and absorb everything. The shoe selection was outstanding with every kind of running shoe, ski boot, work boot and outdoor footwear you could imagine, and the shoe staff were clearly well trained helping customers. I also spent about 45 minutes in the luggage section, which was surprisingly impressive. It's clearly a curated department run by someone who truly understands travel. I spoke with a luggage specialist who I believe is from Asia and a serious world traveler herself. She was incredibly knowledgeable and immediately understood what I meant when I told her I was tired of hard-sided luggage and wanted something built for an active lifestyle. She introduced me to a beautiful 100-liter Patagonia rolling duffel with durable wheels, strong zippers, and soft-sided construction that can actually handle real travel. These types of bags come with lifetime guarantees on the wheels and zippers, and now I'm officially saving my pennies to buy one. The store itself was alive and buzzing with families, couples, hunters, skiers and outdoor enthusiasts everywhere. The only section that felt a little thin was the women's golf apparel where most of the XS sizes were gone, while the men's golf section was very well stocked. Parking was plentiful and easy. Scheels isn't just a sporting goods store. It's an experience.

I was recently going down a slide with my 3 year old, and bent the wire clip on my Para 3 Lightweight (considering it held up ~200 lbs of weight with only a bend is very impressive). After speaking with Craig, I was able to get a replacement clip and a correction on a previous order! Since I live so far away from Golden, CO, I was very excited to pick up some factory seconds online this year. Next year I will definitely have to try out their Mystery Boxes too! They've got such a huge selection, and the value of their products (even before discounts) is excellent. Hope that Spyderco might consider additional Seconds sales and Mystery Boxes throughout the year. From what I see posted online, they might be a little hit or miss at times, but in general people seem to be happy and to get their money's worth,

Wilderness Exchange is across the street from the flagship REI megastore. Park in the large lot (first hour free) next to Wilderness Exchange. We always enjoy hunting for bargains but it was not fun going through the mostly meh merchandise here. Hiking wear was still expensive even with tags showing markdowns of 25-50% off. We found the choices for women's clothing limited and less appealing (ugly colors and zero style) than the men's clothing. Plus secondhand clothing was mixed in with unworn merchandise. As for camping and hiking gear, it's hit or miss. Gear is expensive here even if it is marked down. If you are a hiking or camping newbie, bring a friend who can advise you about brands, quality and prices plus do some comparison shopping at REI. Confirm Wilderness Exchange's limited return and warranty policy.
