not always sold on the clerks knowing what they are doing at our REI . There's a local climbing store that does better. and none of them have a clue about hunting.
I agree that the store clerks at REI are often clueless. But since you can rent from them, you can do your own on-the-trail assessment. Yeah the local climbing store clerks will probably know more about how to fit a pack properly. But they don't rent gear, do they?
