Join us in celebrating 6 years of business during our store-wide sale on September 4th and 5th!
We still get excited when we see our stickers on cars around town. We reminisce about the first weeks of being open, when car loads of Fort Lewis College students would visit and spend hours scouring the shop for deals and truckloads of used gear would get dropped off at one time...as if it had been waiting for this moment.
The gratefulness and excitement that fueled our passion and persistence in the beginning, guides us still today. We cannot believe we've been fortunate enough to get to operate and grow this fun, meaningful, values driven business for six years!
Thank you to everyone who has shopped with us, consigned with us or even just mentioned us to a friend. Your support is the reason we are here. Your love for giving gear a second life and getting outside is why we do what we do.
This Friday and Saturday, celebrate with us, enjoy a sweet deal and share a story. We are thankful for you everyday!
If you do anyovernight backpacking, or even long distance hiking, there’s a good chance that at some point you may need to go Number Two.
Because of heavy land use and impacts to natural resources (not to mention water sources), this is not always as simple as doing your business and covering it with a rock or a handful of pine needles.
In fact, depending on where you go, you may be required to carry an approved pooping system even if you swear on your loaded lower intestine that you will hold it in no matter what.
Here’s a quick run down on backcountry toilet systems.
The time’s come. You’ve got your lightweight backpack, a comfy sleeping bag (of quilt), a sleeping pad that doesn’t (yet) leak air, a cool tent, a nifty little stove, and a hankering to get out and use it all. Let’s go!
Public lands need your help now. Durango Outdoor Exchange has compiled this handy list of regional organizations that you can support while federal budgets are slashed and land stewards are laid off.
