There is an outdoor recreation organization located in Nashville, Tennessee that I used to be a member of.
The organization works closely with a huge number of non-profits, and organizes outdoor activities that meet the needs of a wide variety of interests and fitness levels ranging from in-the-park yoga classes to kayaking day trips to backpacking multi-day trips.
Events are oftentimes free, and when there is a fee it is usually nominal.
I posted the link for a couple of reasons:
1. To highlight an example of an extraordinarily successful partnership effort between organizers, non-profits and the general public that serves to bring people together, increase outdoor adventure opportunities and awareness of the environment.
2. On the linked page are gear checklists for some popular outdoor activities (car camping, day hiking, multi-day hiking etc.). These checklists are meant only as a guide, but they are a good place to start when you are considering what to bring (and what to leave behind) during your next outdoor adventure.
Some of the great gear we have in the store right now.
THANK YOU to everyone who took advantage of our law enforcement and military discount during the month of May!
Next up is our Hunters Gear Swap on Saturday June 29.
Mark your calendars and start digging through your hunting gear (it wouldn't break our hearts if a fishing pole or two showed up on the 29th as well)!
More info on the gear swap in our special events link.
