Hey guys.... just in case you didn't know who I am I'm Raul owner of Xpedition outfitters. we have been given permission to do monthly deals and last month I ran a deal on the Outer Limit Supply first aid kids...
We had about 150 people add the first aid kits to their carts but had zero people actually take advantage of the 10% off.
So I need your help... what type of gear do you guys want to see deals on so I can work on it.
I am currently revamping the whole site with new categories and slowly adding new products but I can pretty much get anything you guys need.
So lets hear it.... What would you like to see for next months gear deal?
Thank you guys for the info

Raul - Looking back at my earlier reply, I'm not sure it's actually very helpful to throw it back at you to come up with a list. I suspect the things members might want will be as diverse as the membership itself, so damned near impossible for you to come up with a list. It would just be hit or miss.
Sooo, only speaking for myself, I'd
love to see deals on items like the below, all of which I have and would like more of:
- A variety of dry bags/drysacks I can put inside a rucksack for hiking or panniers for biking, or lash down outside to my rack or trailer for over the road. Like offered by
Osprey or
SealLine and Sea to Summit. Larger gear bags like the
Monsoon Bag from FrontRunner fall into the same category. I'm getting ready to get more of both, especially another Monsoon Bag.
-
FrontRunner Expander Camp Chairs - I have two and absolutely love them. I've tried Helionox and ARB chairs and OZTent's Rhino camp chairs and either sold or gave most of them away. I want to get two more, they are so completely functional, easy to use and store,
and keep me sitting much more comfortably without slouching. I mean, at 82 yrs old, I gotta watch my posture
.
-
Free Spirit Recreation's Ready Light - freakin' best lights I've ever owned for all around camp and trail use. I've written about them elsewhere so won't jam up this thread. I'll be getting two more at some point for workshops and small group camping.
- Survival Kit Boxes like those offered by
Best Glide Aviation Survival Equipment. These are super sturdy and very handy kit boxes to keep ready and packed with all sorts of stuff. I use them for edge-sharpening gear, another with basic first-aid stuff, another with fishing gear, etc, all labeled on the outside in
clear pouches.
- Interest in bushcraft seems to be on the rise among new members and among campers/travelers in general, and I suspect any good deals you can pass on in that regard will result in some sales.
Mora knives, fire starters, sturdy packs, just all sorts of stuff.
Might be worth researching what you can put together for a bundle that no one else offers, that will still provide a profit while providing a deal for members. Like a survival bundle, bushcraft bundle, camp cookware/utensils bundle, typical Ram-mount set up bundle, etc.
If it is offered here for the same or less as elsewhere on line, I'd be glad to purchase from you. I like the idea of a member discounts, though realize it's not always doable at low margins. Shipping costs is what kills it for me sometimes, especially when being shipped from overseas or all the way from west coast to coast of Maine.
Thanks again for asking,
@Raul B - hope this helps in some way.
