Michigan Outdoor stores

Moosejaw is based in MI with 5 or 6 stores.

Thanks Ben

Not sure (based on the stores you've listed) whether you're looking for backpacking gear or clothes or…?

In any case, come down to Ann Arbor! We have Bivouac, a smaller Moosejaw and an REI for backpacking gear and clothes. For more general "outdoor" stuff, there's also a huge Cabela's a little further south.

Thanks Sumi,

I am moving from Europe to Midland and just checking out what backpacking stores are around.

Cheers

You must work for Dow. Where will you go backpacking ? I wish I could help you with the shopping, but I can not think of anywhere. Maybe doing a road trip to Ann Arbor is your best bet? It seems like Saginaw would have some places to shop.

Hi Helen,

Thanks for the advice, I will check out Saginaw and Ann Arbour.

I will be mainly backpacking in Northern Michigan, East Coast mountains, and in Ireland and the UK.

Cheers,

Stephen

p.s. I work for the "other" Dow.

As some of the others have already mentioned, REI is probably your best bet, the Northville store is probably the largest of the 3 store, Ann Arbor, and Troy being the other 2 stores.

Here's a couple more:

Cheers Michael,

I have a good few options with two hours drive.

Have a great weekend,

Stephen

If you're looking for UL gear, Bivouac in Ann Arbor is much better, imo. Brad Grove, who's a contributor at BPL, worked there until recently (we miss you!) and did a lot, I think, to bring in non-mainstream gear. Western Mountaineering bags, Granite Gear packs, alcohol stoves, even some quilts (which I haven't seen anywhere else around the midwest.) Hammock gear as well. They also price match.

zen!

Hi folks,

Cheers for letting me know, sounds like l will have plenty of places to keep me on gear.

Thanks all,

Check out The Outpost, Holland or Go Gear, Muskegon

Will do Ken.

Cheers.
