4. Northern Lights Trading Company

The (non sale) prices are a bit steep at times, but if you consider the quality, range of choices and customer service you receive, you're getting what you pay for. This is an independently owned business, owned and run by locals, not a big box store. Worth a stop if you're in the area. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about outdoor recreation in the area, can give great recommendations about what to use and where to go, and will even invite you along sometimes. They also host demo days and classes. A great place.
