Smart; I don’t know how retailers will ever win you back. They face a very basic dilemma in how much they can stock, given that some stuff will just sit there.
Years ago I went to a new Army Navy store on our main avenue; I was curious as to how much they could fit in what was really a small storefront. Inside I asked about some gear I needed for camping, and the owner plopped down some catalogs and said she’d order whatever I needed (they had very little inventory - both variety & quantity. I politely told her I’d order it myself and left; within a year they were closed.
I do a lot of hiking-there are plenty of trails out here in woods and near the river-one is right behind the fence on this property-my 1st husband and I were into camping, especially when the cub was growing up-we especially liked Big Bend.
There was a great warehouse type sporting goods store in the outlying burb we lived in-we got all our stuff there, from ammo for hunting to hiking boots-it was great-but the place has been closed for at least 15 years...
