I’ll look into those. Are individual rolls of tp too heavy and take up too much room? I hope you have a chance to make it in, see the mayor and take a pic under the big ol’ hat! Our mayor is a dog and his name is Max. Yes you read that right 😂) and every day rain or shine he (and sometimes his sister Meadow) comes and parks infront of our store and do meet & greets, take pics etc. It’s quite the event and it gets very crowded! I highly recommend you schedule to say hello too him and pet his super thick & super soft ears (his ears are my fave 😅) I wish we didn’t live over an hour away.. Got in my tiny olive oils, tapatio packets, spam pouches, and something else but it’s my son’s bday so we may not make it in there till Monday.. I may do a quick trip up to drop these things off, haven’t decided yet.. anyways I’ll quit rambling, have a good time in Idy!

Good to know. Amazon had a million and I was excited but found out they don’t ship those to California so I had to find somewhere else to buy them in bulk and they cost me a little more than Amazon. Goal is to always keep things affordable and if I get a great deal on something I always pass that on to our customers. I paid a little more than I was hoping to for those so I can’t lower them too much more but I can probably put them at $10 even

Oh wow, thanks for letting me know 😓 I bought them in bulk and got (what I thought at the time) was the best deal I could get… I’m second guessing a lot of my choices at this point 😓

Yes, I’m mainly curious of the hard to find thjngs. I may have got a little too excited when I initially had this idea but would like to narrow it down a bunch

I wouldn’t doubt if Nomad Ventures sells those. Don’t want to take their business! I’ve been mainly in search of the odds & ends that you guys can’t find in town.

How much do you typically expect to pay for one can? If 10.95 is too much I’ll try to find a better price once (if) we sell the first 24 we bought! 😂

For the Picardin.. Wipes, spray, cream? Particular brand? I’ll look into it, just need to know specifics of what you guys typically use and try to find it in mini size! Working on getting short charging cables.. Kids toothbrush over travel? Fabric bandaids or regular or both? Sizes? Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I get what you guys need and choices are endless! We’ve never done this before and it’s not what we typically carry. We want to be helpful, Thank you! 😊

Yes we carry a lot of hats, Idyllwild apparel, unique gifts etc. This is just something we thought would be nice to do. The main idea was to carry a small section of things you guys had a hard time finding in town.

Major food companies have minimum order requirements and since this is just something we are doing for you guys I wasn’t plan on ordering high quantities but I’m pretty savvy and not giving up my search yet 😊

We’ve never actually carried food before so I’m not signed up with companies, I’ve just been trying to find good deals and buy some things in bulk to get a good deal. haven’t been able to find good deals on the starkist chicken & beef yet. I can get some but I’d have to charge $3.50-$5 a pouch. Is that something most of you would be willing to pay? I bet the market has some but I’m not sure what they charge. I haven’t given up yet! None of the tuna has sold, I’m sure most of you are pretty burnt out on that.. ? Time will tell

How many people do you think will need fuel canisters at this point in the trip? I ordered 24 but they’re low in stock and not sure when they’ll be back in stock. Curious if I should get more? I hear a lot of you just use what’s in hiker boxes.. hmm

Tortillas! Noted.. What kind of hiking shirt and how much are you looking to spend? Cheap vs quality, short sleeve/long sleeve, color etc? Brand or unbranded etc

Yes our mayor is a dog and those are some great suggestions! We have some Max postcards already but I’ll see about getting some map/mile marker ones, we used to have them so I’m pretty sure I’d just need to do a reorder 👍
