Small Gear At OAR

At OAR we have a large (and increasing) variety of gear related to biking, hiking, camping, hunting, fishing and more.

Sitting at my computer as I write this, I can see day and multi-day packs, fishing poles and reels, fishing nets, bicycle helmets, climbing harnesses, climbing helmets and shoes and gloves, a full face motor cross helmet, gun holsters, tennis rackets, bows, rifle scabbard, dove decoys, boots, more boots, a tent, camp chairs, scope, lanterns, camp cookware, black powder bag, gps holders, headlamps, sleeping bags, bicycle locks, water jugs, water bottles, small coolers, reflective vests, sun glasses, canvas saddle bags, tree climbing ropes, ice skates, youth snowboard helmets and one lonely snowboard, waders, snow shoes, roller blades, life jackets, swim fins, small canoe paddle and one very awesome kayak.

We also have a wide variety of technical clothing (both warm weather and cold weather, because the weather in the mountains can change on a dime). 

Mens and womens summer tops, work out shorts and quick-drying hiking shorts, nylon jackets for cool nights on the strip and insulated jackets for cold nights in the mountains, lined and unlined pants, hats and buffs and ear warmers and gloves, base layers, wool socks and tech socks, button down dress shirts by Salomon and fleece tops by The North Face.  The best selection of used camo clothing in town.

And lots more.  

If it is in good to excellent condition and related to any activity that people like to do when they head into the out-of-doors, OAR will accept on consignment and try to find each piece a new home.

Hunters Gear Swap - Saturday June 29

When we first opened OAR, we wanted to get some sense as to which promotional efforts that we were using were most effective in reaching our target markets.

  I used to ask people who walked in the door, how they had heard about the store.

Their answers for the first few months ran the gamut - the radio, a flier, an ad or an article in the newspaper, area on-line classifieds, regional on-line classifieds, somebody told me about you - everyone seemed to be hearing about us in a different way and no one method seemed to be more effective than any other.

It told us to just keep doing what we were doing, because the word was starting to get out.

Now (almost six months later) we are still using many of the same marketing strategies, but when I ask people how they heard about us, the answer I am receiving the most is "Somebody told me about this place so I thought I'd check it out".

Word of mouth is beginning to work, and for that we are both extremely excited and extremely gratified.

The flier above is for a Hunters Gear Swap that OAR is pulling together for the end of June.

We set up a poll on the local "guy" on-line classifieds site "Guy's Gear" asking for input on the best date that did not conflict with either other local events or hunting opening days, and Saturday June 29 was what we came up with.

There is no fee to set up.

We are looking for local non-profits interested in setting up a food vending situation.  No fee to set up and it is a great way for a local organization to raise funds. 

Give us a call if interested.

Because music always makes an event more fun, we're also looking for someone to set up some speakers and play some cd's.  No pay offered for someone to do this, but we'll buy you lunch!

Mark your calendar. 

And if you want to buy / sell/ trade / swap start digging through your stuff and pulling it all together.

We still have this Avenir Discovery bike trailer for sale.

Structurally it is sound in every way, but the blue and yellow canvas is very faded from the Wyoming sun.

A great little bike trailer at a very good price.

Other great items we have at the store right now:

Jetrak Roof Rack (48" - 75kg capacity)

Blue and white granite camp cookware.  All in great condition but with no makers marks.

 

North Face Back Magic large volume external frame pack.

This thing is a beast ,but would serve you well if you're heading to the back country for a few days.

It is in perfect condition aside from one thing - the magic marker crossed-out name and phone number of the previous owner on an outside pocket. 

Comes with pack cover to keep your pack dry in rain or snow conditions.

 Shakespeare Triumph 1958 Reel

Orvis fishing vest, camo tactical vest, Columbia cotton multi-pocket fishing vest, and name brand down vests.

It's well worn but this book on knives is an interesting read.
