URE OUTFITTERS

You don’t have to travel to L.L.Bean or REI; just mosey down the road to Hope Valley to the second-generation family-owned URE OUTFITTERS. Backpacks come in all shapes and sizes, one with a built-in baby pack, one with handle and wheels, one that fits a dog’s back, saddlebag style. Ure is a full-service outdoor shop, with climbing gear, kayaks, canoes, hunting, and fishing supplies. And to go along with those outdoor sports, boots for all purposes, clothing for all seasons, tents for various numbers of hikers/campers, sleeping bags (with or without blow-up pil-lows), binoculars, camp stoves, pans, and packet food to go with them (“Cheesecake mix” in the wilderness?). And, the Daddy of all Swiss Army knives. This one has, count ’em, two kinds of pliers, two wire cutters and a wire stripper, two knives, five screwdrivers, a wood saw, scissors, a file, and a can/bottle opener! | 1009 Main Street, Hope Valley | 401.539.4050 | ureoutfitters.com
