Anyone have a good site or two for buying quality camping gear on the net? I have finally decided Cabela's sucks and Academy is just a little limited in selection. That's about my options for retail stuff.
 
Re: camping gear websites

thanks gentlemen. Just getting to where I hate to deal with retail outlets because they seem to never have what I see online. Walked into Cabela's on the way to camp with a gift card, needing stuff (of course) and walked out with nothing...except with a decision that I wouldn't waste my time again. REI is a good one though. Go by there when is Austin. Backcountry looks good and should save me some tax.

Bought a lot of good outdoor gear at CAMPMOR since about 1980.

If you are ever in Maine near the LL Bean shop, ask a local about the Outlet store. Wow. Was visiting the SERE school at leatherneck birthday time one year and left with fall <span style="text-decoration: underline">and</span> winter hunting clothes for me, my dad and one brother, winter coats for 3 women in my family, 2 backpacks for kids in school, 9 heavy shirts and 4 pairs of trousers for casual work, not to mention mittens, gloves, a light pair of outdoor boots, and a snowboard. Needed people to help carry all the bags to my truck. Total cost = $219. Cash. Granted, later I found a button missing...
