Bass Pro Shop: Leeds, AL
You can see it from the interstate. Bass Pro Shop is located on a hill. The parking lot was fairly full. As they had a Labor Day sale going on, I walked into this huge store with high expectations. Black bears greeted me from tree limbs, high up. The greeter directed me to the restrooms which were clean and had plenty of toilet paper, paper towels and soap. The doors also locked securely. No complaints here. I strolled through the boat section, then wandered over to the ladies clothing and Columbia.
Now I was in search of a water filtration system not just for camping, but also for everyday usage. $30 for one bottle seemed rather steep to me since it didn't even include a filter, although it was insulated (bonus). I want a pretty stainless steel one (filter included) with a lifetime guarantee.
The salesman (camping) was kind and courteous, but he kept trying to sell me a Coleman tent. I have no interest in this particular brand. I was hoping to find North Face, Marmot, or another higher end brand. I am looking specifically for a car camping (stay for over a week tent) My best friend found a lovely sleeping bag (on sale for $169) which he proceeded to try out when we got home. I admit it is super comfy and comes with a liner (blanket) and a pillow...
The one (Bass Pro Shop) in Nashville, TN, seemed to have more of what I was looking for.
However, point me towards REI where memberships and warranties are lifetime not just 2 measly years for $40.
