I did not know their were so many gadgets and specialty gear required for hiking. My military training was a waste! These items should be purchased online. These items are way overpriced for the quality and purpose, on top of which they did not have the basic thing I needed. Ended up getting it at walmart.

REI is THE place to shop and be a member off....the benefits far outweigh the offerings all the outdoor recreation businesses out there as far as concerned.
