For practically everything you could do outside, REI should be your first stop for gear, instruction, clothing, edibles, and electronics. Camping? The store can fit you in the gear you need whether you're sleeping in a cabin or "digging your own hole"-style roughing it. Skiing? Accessories, skis, boots, snowboards, and racks to keep it all together. Canoeing? Same bet, only wetter. This is every adventurer's one-stop shop for all of his or her needs, big or small, novice or expert.
