A Mountain Of Gear

We have been VERY busy at OAR this past week.

Over the weekend we picked up a huge amount of primarily hunting gear.

When I dumped it all in a pile on the floor beside the counter we had a mountain of gear three feet high, and all I could think was "Awesome!!  Now where the heck am I going to put it all?"

It took three days, tons of cleaning and researching and labelling and fixture installing but.....we got it all done, and now we have some totally cool stuff to offer the local outdoor adventure community.

Holsters, saddle bags, duffel bags, back packs, hunting books, ammo pouches, rifle cases, more camo hunting jackets and vests. 

Lots more.

At the top of the post is a Bianchi, western rig belt and holster for single action 45 cal, 34 inch waist. A link to a site that has many good pictures of the same belt:

Mountainsmith Cross Country II internal frame multi-day pack for sale. This awesome pack is brand new, still with tags, and comes with detachable day pack.

Vintage military ski poles (we believe they're from the 60's).

We have a number of strong and sturdy canvas duffel bags in sizes ranging from small to large.

There are both Cabelas and Dunns brands, and they are all clean and in excellent condition.

One of my favorite people brought this beautiful jacket in for consignment a week or so ago.

A Tri Mountain Mens XL jacket. Large external side zippered pockets and one external zip chest pocket, lined, multiple ventilation points.

An awesome jacket for a big guy.

OK........these pictures have absolutely nothing to do with the store but we think they're awesome pictures anyway.

Last weekend our sweet old pup Jamie was sitting and looking out through the screen door at the front of the house.

When she started to growl I thought that she had seen a bunny or a cat (both of which we have in abundance in the area, and James would happily rip them to shreds if she had the chance).

Instead, when I looked outside I saw these guys grazing on our neighbor's front lawn.

The other picture is an old wagon we have at the edge of our driveway.

I love that thing.

A S&W ammo belt, 30 cal, 34 inch waist, and a Broadus Boot and Tack , Tracy Fruit Maker ammo belt, 45-70 cal, 34-36 inch waist.

Two pairs of Simms boots.

One has a felt sole.  The other has a leather sole that is screwed to the upper.

They are both in excellent shape and are very high quality.

Just a reminder that ex, retired and currently serving military and law enforcement receive 25% off all of their OAR purchases throughout the month of May.

Our very small way of saying thank you for your service.

A beautiful table for sale, made of reclaimed wood that was salvaged locally, antlers, rope and new Plexiglas.

It is a lovely piece that we have used at the store to display some of the natural decorative items we have in one dedicated space in the store, but we would love to find it a new home.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

It's been a busy past week at the store in terms of folks consigning their gear with us.
Thank you to all those who have remembered OAR as they were doing their spring cleaning and clearing out their closets and garages.
We appreciate our consignors SO much!
A quick look at just some of the great gear that has come in recently:.

Hank Roberts stove and a Bianchi camo day pack.

Sunrise gun case scabbard and Trout and Goose fishing soft case

We've got three bows at the store right now - 2 Brownings and a Bear.

An Orvis fishing vest.

Tasco 4 x 32 scope (it's got a few scratches and is functional but has been well used) and an awesome leather belt

Interesting and Cool Stuff

This morning a retired law enforcement officer brought this pack into the store on consignment.

Because I did adventure racing for so many years I own a lot of packs in different sizes, and in brands normally named Gregory or Salomon.

But THIS pack is a whole different animal.

It is a great looking, rugged, tough and very serious piece of gear.

Here is a link about this Eberlestock Tactical Gunslinger 2.

Awesome piece of gear available to buy here at OAR for half the price of new:

There is a forest of skis starting to grow in a corner of the store right now.

They all have names like Rossignol, Fischer and Atomic.

None of them are the latest and greatest (at least not yet!), but if you are looking for a good, solid set of skis to get you out on the slopes without breaking the bank, come take a look at what we have.

We have boots as well, but are definitely looking for more of both.

If you want to clean out your garage (or downsize your ski and boot collection) bring what you have down to OAR and we'll sell them for you! 

This awesome snowboard is a 63 Flow Mainframe with Salomon bindings.  It's for a taller person and is in great shape.

We've got gloves, hats, socks, base layers, fleece tops in all weights, snowboard pants, lined and unlined nylon pants - all the clothing you need to look good and stay warm out on the slopes.

Not long after OAR opened for business a retired law enforcement officer was talking to my husband (who is also a retired LEO - I'm detecting a pattern here!).

They had their heads together beside the counter while they were looking at these items above. 

A leather holster, a gps bag, belt pouch, Tex Shoemaker holster, baton loop, Bianchi holster and more.

They are all for sale at OAR.

The last picture (bottom right) is a picture of pure black and blue awesomeness!

When I was racing I could never afford a Mountain Hardwear jacket.

I always needed so much STUFF for so many different sports, that I spent most of my time searching through online outlet stores for the best I could afford, which was never Mountain Hardwear.

This jacket fell into my lap early this year and is for sale at the store.

Double storm flaps, pit zips, side slash pockets, chest zipper, arm zipper, inside zippers, lined, waterproof, windproof and with hood.

It's got it all.

We've got a good number of Columbia jackets - soft and hard shell jackets and winter jackets.

But so far only one black and blue awesome!

Thank you to everyone who has stopped by OAR to both consign, buy, browse and visit!

We are very grateful for the warm reception we have received!
