Winter is a great time to buy new gear at fantastic prices! You can get top quality camping and hiking gear for a lot less if you shop now.
If you like the latest and greatest or just adding to your existing outdoor hiking gear collection then this is the perfect time to hit your favourite outdoor stores.
With sales everywhere and companies ready to launch their new line up of products for this upcoming camping and hiking season, last year's models are being sold off at discounted prices.
For families ready to take on the adventure of family camping or those wishing to give overnight backpacking a try but without the large investment, this is a great time to pick up top quality outdoor gear for a fraction of the full price.
Stores such as REI have an online discount store and they add deals to that website daily.
It's also a good time to take a look at your current inventory of outdoor gear to examine what stays and what needs replacing.
If you're a backpacker and want to start carrying a lighter load this is also the perfect time of year to look at ultralight packs and lighter gear to reduce the amount of weight carried on your back.
If your hiking backpack is 10 years old or older, it might be time to buy a new one.
Lighter and just as durable, newer backpacking backpacks for hiking can really make your backpacking trips more enjoyable.
The same is true of your cookware and utensils.
If you've been using old pots and pans for cooking take a look at the lighter titanium versions or even the better quality aluminum sets.
They are light weight and tough enough to stand up to back country cooking.
It's also important to realize that not all gear is made to last forever and investing in a new sleeping bag or tent is a good thing, even better at a discounted price.
In addition to brand new gear being on sale, many hikers and campers own gear that they many not have used very much and are offering for sale, again at very low prices.
A lot of hikers and campers enjoy buying new gear every year but need to sell off their existing gear first.
Take a look in the local paper or online sites and even on the bulletin boards inside your favourite outdoor store.
There are great deals to be had on camping and hiking gear and this is the perfect time to find them! Happy Hiking!
