I needed a very specific pair of hiking shoes. I checked with all the big outfitters including REI, Dick’s, Backcountry, L.L. Bean, Bass Pro Shops, Scheels, Moosejaw, Eastern Mountain Sports, Sierra and a few others including direct to the manufacture. No one could get my shoes. I happened upon WildCountry and within 7 days I had my shoes! The customer service I receive from Dan was second to none. He made phone calls, confirmed that he COULD get what I needed, kept me informed about the shipping of the shoes and followed up to keep me in the loop. This kind of customer service is rare and very much appreciated. The big stores say they will take care of you, WildCounty came through. I will be back. I highly recommend them for their personal, professional, and knowledgeable service. Thank you!!

This was the first backpacking store I ever went to 30 plus years ago and they still are my favorite. They carry some of the best brands you can find and have very knowledgeable staff. Whether you just want to day hike, car camp, backpack, or go scuba diving they have you covered.They routinely lead diving trips all over the world and can steer you in the right direction for whatever your needs.I can't say thank you enough to these guys as they've kept me from buying junk gear at the big box stores many times.

I am the an avid solo backpacker. I tend to learn what I need to backpack, by not taking what I need. The hard way. Is there even an easy way?Through my journey of backpacking, Wildcountry and their staff have literally been my guides when I have felt guidless. Not just teaching me the gear I need, but by having their own experiences and how they learned their gear. By listening to my own adventures with delight!They’ve helped me fit my backpack, fold up my tiny stove, install my kayak rack and strap it down, use my Garmin in reach, so I can escape my crazy hard life and navigate this crazy hard beautiful world properly. (And not get too lost:)If they don’t have it, they can usually find it or have a better idea.I could say more, but I bet there is a word limit.Aspen

Hi, I'm the husband from the previous post. So, I suck at skiing. I was lucky enough to find a used demo pair of skis for a great price and brought them to wild country after my wife recommended their services.First of all, A+ service. They immediately took my skis and did all the fine tuning without even questioning it. I had plenty of ski related questions and they were very knowledgeable. The next day, I took the new/used skis out and they were amazing. They gave me to confidence to go out there and give it the best I can.I also purchased boots, poles, and a bag. Each item was a very fair price. You also can't beat buying local.All that to say, this place is amazing. BloNo has some of the best small businesses, and this is no exception.Bravo to Wild Country. Can't wait to come back next ski season.

Amazing place for all of your outdoorsy needs. My husband and I recently went to purchase ski boots and have adjustments made on our skis. All of the employees were not just friendly, but extremely knowledgeable and helpful. My husband and I are very new to the activity, so their kindness and knowledge was SO appreciated. ALSO, they have so much more than just ski gear. I highly recommend anyone in town go check them out. Support local! I am so glad to have them in town!! Thanks for all you guys do!

Very nice store with a lot of quality brand-name outdoor clothing items and some sports equipment. The owners and staff were very attentive and welcoming.

Fun outdoor clothing store that includes a significant scuba diving section. Has hats, socks, pants, shorts, shirts, coats and many more items in the clothing section. Also has a number of hiking and back country camping essentials, like water purification systems and trekking poles. Friendly helpful staff and, I think, locally owned. Located near downtown Normal near the train station.

Great store they’re very knowledgeable about what they sell. I’ve had broken outdoor equipment that I had no idea how to fix and they took care of it.
