    Outdoor Retailer is the premier trade show for the outdoor industry, with the majority of the products that our members use every day, being debuted at this industry only show. We'll be bringing you live updates very similar to our 2012 SHOT Show. There are two editions of Outdoor Retailer - Summer, being the largest and Winter, a bit smaller, we'll be there this afternoon and can't wait to get started!
    where is said Show?

    The Outdoor Retailer show is in Salt Lake City, Utah http://www.outdoorretailer.com/. They have two shoes each year, a Spring show and a Winter show. It's an expo for clothing, footwear, and all sorts of outdoor gear. 'We had a retail outlet for 6 years and have been an outfitter and in the firearms business for just over 20. If you're into the outdoor sports or are of the Boy Scout/self-sufficiency/survivalist/camping-hiking/traveling mindset or just like to see interesting and new gear, then this show is very good to visit. (If you decide to go and need real credentials in order to get in the show, just send me an PM)

    Finally, over the past 5-6 years, I'm starting to see the REI/Northface/greenie-weenie-eco type of companies merge and meld with the outdoor hunter/Cabelas companies. There's a quite a noticeable amount of carryover from the LE (law enforcement) and military. Just this last year, Remington bought out Mountain Khakis, and Woolrich has displaying their tactical line of clothing.

    The downside of knowing what there is to know about fabrics, clothing, footwear, gear, etc. and what is available out there is how disappointing it is when we do visit other stores such as REI, BassPro Shops, and others. There's some great gear out there these days and it only is getting better!
