Hello,

I hope this isn't considered deal spotting, if it is please feel free to delete.

I am in the Minneapolis St Paul area for the next couple of days and would like to get my hands on some Maxpedition gear etc.

I have been to all the big name places in the twin cities and I am looking for some out of the way gear shops that might have a selection of stuff I don't normally get to see.

I want to look at packs, knives and other survival gear.

Thanks
John
 
Actually Thrifty Outfitters is the outlet store in the 2nd story of Midwest Mountaineering and has some great deals, I get all my wool there.
 
Thanks, I went there on Monday evening for a pack fitting class. Great place.

Any suggestions on places to find Maxpedition or perhaps an army surplus store?
 
Diver, for Maxpedition you could try Streicher's Police Equipment. Worked at the Streicher's store in WI for a few years, they are a Maxpedition dealer (our store usually had small accessories pouches and small packs but the MPLS store usually carries alot more). They also have knives, flashlights, 5.11 gear and some other stuff you may like (but they are police equipment store so not alot of "woods" survival stuff but In my opinion enough good gear to be worth the trip).

Good Luck!
 
bobo, perfect that is just the info I was looking for. I may check them out tomorrow before I leave town.
