REI Sale!!!!

Ok, so let me just express my excitement about REI having a sale! This store is beyond amazing and makes you want to challenge yourself physically and makes you think that you can climb any mountain and hike anywhere if only you spent ten zillion dollars on all their equipment. Well I am here to bring you some good news! Now, you can get all your equipment for a fraction of the price. Today, I went on a mini shopping spree there, and I got an eno (which is a super awesome hammock that you can easily hang between trees and folds up into a tiny little thing). O, and did I mention that they are so super comfortable. Here is a picture to show you what I am talking about. Oh, and there is my little doggie Sophie! She is a cuddler.




This is Eno DoubleNest Hammock. There is also a single nest, but after talking to someone at REI, it sounds like the doublenest (bigger one) is more comfortable and the best option (oh ya, its cheaper while this sale is going on). In addition to the hammock, you will need a set of straps. I got the SlapStrapPro which wrap around the tree and hook to both sides of the hammock.
The hammock normally costs $65, but on sale, it cost $45, so that saves ya 20 bucks. Just by doing a quick search on the internet, I did could not find ANY enos under $50, and that is pre-shipping price, so this is a super dealio! Then, the straps normally cost $25, but on sale, they were $16! That saves you 9 bucks for a grand total of $29 savings.
In addition to the hammock, I also bought an REI Ladro Jacket which is basically a super thick zip up hoodie. This was on clearance for $40, and it was normally $120, so that is a savings of $80 or about a 67% saving. This jacket is windproof and resists rain, dries fast, and insulating. It also has earholes for your Ipod. It's super light weight, but will also keep me nice and warm on chilly hikes!
Cliffbar are also a great source of energy for long workouts and hikes. They are on sale, 25% off which makes them $0.99. Their camelbaks are also on sale. These are basically just bookbags with a waterpouch in them, so you can drink while you hike. They are awesome. REI is having sales all over the store, so go online or to the store and check them out to get all your nice outdoor gear for much cheaper. O, and as a side note, REI guarantees that you wll be happy with all of your purchases and will allow returns or refunds no matter how long you wait whether its two days or fifteen years.
