Outdoor Pursuit, an on-campus program dedicated to providing outdoor recreation activities, organized a gear sale that extended from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon. They were selling much of the gear they bought in previous seasons either because they haven’t had the opportunity to use it enough to justify keeping it, or because they are looking to make space for new gear. Whatever the case, this grants students the opportunity to buy good quality outdoors equipment at a very competitive price!

It should be noted that comparing the retail price in the tag with the selling price stuck to them was slightly misleading, since the alleged retail price was the most expensive you could find at the time it was being sold a couple of years ago (e.g. an unused Osprey backpack with a retail price of  $330 was being sold for $200, but the same model [also brand new] could be found online for $230), but overall, they were offering the most competitive prices I could find. Suffice to say, even though I didn’t plan on buying anything, I left the sale having purchased a tent!
