Saturday 1/20/2007 trip-The Happy Hiker

Bryan January 20th, 2007

The Happy Hiker is another of my favorite stores in Gatlinburg and I just had to stop by.  Everyone is so friendly here and always ready to talk about gear.  I must have spent an hour there browsing and talking SureFire flashlights.  Very friendly and helpful.  They were nice enough to say that MSR’s pricing on titanium products is going up.  Apparently, the price of titanium has gone up drastically to support the war effort.

Items purchased: SureFire G2 flashlight, and MSR Titanium Mini Cookset

Bryan January 19th, 2007

Smoky Mountain Outfitters is always one of my stops when I’m in the Smoky Mountains.  They’ve got a wide selection of gear, are very knowledgeable, and take their time with you.  The owners have lived in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, so we’ve had an instant connection since I met them.

Toll Free: 866-430-HIKE

Items purchased: Day Hikes of the Smokies book, pocket can opener,  Mountain Kitchen DVD, Ila Hatter.
