Over the years of accumulating camping gear, it is always a great day when someone finds a deal that even store employees overlook, especially when one isn't really looking for anything. So the other day, the wife & I were in the nearby REI and I was totally surprised by this find:

They even took an additional 10 percent off!
Having worked at that store for a number of years, 80 percent off of anything in there (other than attic items) is pretty amazing. It's nice to know REI slashes prices that way (and I can live to tell about it.)
I just felt so excited & just wanted to share with my backpacking friends!
Any stories to share out there?
