I don't go to REI to listen to their political views. I just go there to browse the clearance racks and hit their sales. To the tune of a decent dividend every year. Better deals can be had at other sources if you want to put in the time to search the interweb, but day in and day out, REI is a decent retailer. I don't see myself giving up on them anytime soon. Keep in mind that unless you restrict yourself to a very small set of brands, you'll be supporting people that disapprove of hunting whenever you buy outdoor gear. Bunny huggers are everywhere.
Sactoller - I was living just a couple miles away when the REI Roseville store opened in 2002.
