I like to go camping and hiking, but I usually just borrow old gear from my gear-obsessed friends. However, I think it is really about time I get my own sleeping bag. However, I really can’t justify spending 400-500 dollars on one from an outdoor store. I know for computer/tech stuff, there are a lot of fairly reliable, genuine, trustworthy websites that have amazing deals. Is there something like this for outdoor gear? Basically, is there any website that I can get a really good deal on a new, down, 20 degrees or lower sleeping bag?
If you have time and control over yourself. check out these sites
steepandcheap.com – camping gear (parent site is backcountry.com)
Geartrade.com (sellers range from people like you and me and backcountry.com). I would stay away from ebay for top name brand gear.
Steepandcheap has plenty of sleeping bags up over time, a lot of biganges bags. Almost everysite has a outlet, rei.com, backcountry.com, altrec, usoutdoors, sierra trading post. If you can wait to buy your gear, look off season, or new gear that is a year or two old. You can find new bags from 07 or 08 at a huge discount.
usoutdoorstore.com has so really great deals

90% of all my gear was bought at Stores at the end of season when they didn’t want to stockthe stuff over the winter. My last purchase was a coleman stove top oven I’ve seen advertised for over $60. Wal-Mart had it for $12!

Check out REI outlet. Most of the time it’s really good deals.
Also check out the thrifty store for Midwestern Mountaineering. They are out of Minnesota, but they also do mail orders.
