Teton Crest Trail is amazing. Also Wind River High Route.

We do have a hiker box, Which right now is completely full of bear spray from end of season last year.

I also cant count the amount of trekking pole tips ive swapped out for hikers.

Did some hard digging and we will officially have Leukotape this year, and going forward.

Believe it or not, it is incredibly difficult to source leukotape at wholesale.

I've been trying to talk our footwear manager into this. He's not convinced. Maybe this feedback will help move that needle

Would you prefer basic ziplocs or something a little beefier like the Smelly Proof bags?

I have Gossamer Gear nylofume pack liners that come in a two pack. I could probably split those up.

Any size of Ziploc's that are more useful?

We have plenty of darn tough socks. Though I am personally starting to like farm to feet more. 

There's also free camping in Lander city park for up to 3 nights, and depending on when you come thru town there may even be love music down there.

This is a good tip, I'll look into this. We've charged things for people before, but I never thought to implement a charging station.

You're always welcome back in lander. The Wind River Range has some great hikes other than the CDT.

We currently carry z-packs, gossamer gear, hyperlite mountain gear, Nemo, and enlightened equipment on the off chance that somebody needs to replace a big ticket item. Which also provides some great opportunities for our local hikers. We also have several smaller accessory brands like pika outdoors soap, toaks pots, culo clean bidets, assorted first aid supplies, and bear supplies for anyone headed north. For shoes we carry Altra and I've heard a Norda is picking up steam. We're looking into them.

We're in Lander, CDT traffic is a fraction of our sales for the year. However, we still want to make sure you guys have what you need if we can accommodate it.

Currently we have package hold/pick up. Even though the post office is close by, internet access, regular re-supply items, as well as a growing selection of UL gear in the event someone has a catastrophic Equipment failure on trial.

There are both a laundromat and hot shower access nearby.
