What a pain.
I checked out Amazon and they have far more variety, plus customer reviews, plus prices the same or LOWER than Walhole, plus super-saving shipping which gives me free shipping.

So, I ordered my preliminary list of camping must-haves from the comfort and convenience of my own home. Take THAT you Chinese so-called capitalists!

ha HA! Take that and that and that!

Years and years ago my ex and I tried to order all our christmas presents online. It was a disaster. Online shopping now? So convenient, and they compete so I think you get pretty good service.

If you don't mind visiting more than one place you can pick it all up for a fraction and often get superior equipment to boot. Dick's Sporting Goods has fantastic sales on equipment. Loooove our sleeping bags and they were only $20 each because they were old models.

Thanks for the tip, Lookout! Owing to my financial circumstances, I have to be as frugal as possible. I still need stuff like cast iron cooking implements, an old timey percolator that will stand up to a campfire, folding chairs and small tables, water containers of various sizes, an ax, a tow chain or rope.. The list seems endless.

Plus, I'd like to buy good tires for the Toyota.

I need to get back on senior citizens meet.com and find myself a sugar daddy!

Dicks started in Binghamton. They used to be pretty awesome especially if you were into fishing or waited for a shoe sale. Dick himself would help you in the fishing department. Now that they've gone big chain they are the usual faceless outfit, who'll burn you on prices if you are not very careful.

And that sums up the problem with "big Dick" thinking.

Right after the big Dick died you could begin tracing the trouble to top management bean-counters.
