Re: [Paddlewise] discount gear

Try www.nrsweb.com. As usual ralph is spot on. NRS (northwest river
supplies) generally has good gear and very reasonable prices. Plus most of
what they sell appears to be bomb proof. Another good place to try is the
REI Outlet site. Go to www.rei.com, then follow the buttons to the outlet
site, which is seperate from the main REI site. last but not least try
www.bargainbaga.com. It's new, and didn't have much last time I tried it,
but the dry bags they featured showed that it had potential...
regards, and happy Y2K paddling-
