What is the actual address? I live just around the corner on Cooper Gap Rd and I just can't visualize your location only a half mile from Woody Gap.
11 Caldwell Mountain Road - Corner of Hwy 60 and Caldwell Mt. Road
When I arrived at Woody Gap with three teenagers in '03, we newbies had run out of food and fuel. Having an outfitter nearby would have been wonderful.
As it was, two of the youngsters hitched into Suches and returned with the only things available: a fireplace fire log, Pop Tarts, and Beanie Weenies. We had a story to tell.

In my opinion REI would be emblematic of that term. They're the only outfitter I've ever had try and push to have me buy unnecessary crap.

Sit-Packs-Alot, if you ever get bored down there, come up to Southern New England. I would love to see an outfitter like this settle somewhere like Salisbury CT or Great Barrington MA.
Best wishes to you for your endeavor.

On the bright side they will refund it all when you push back a few months later.
I agree with that.....Thanks "Slo-go'en" ! We're just gonna do our own thing. More than enough hikers nowadays to go around. You'll discover soon that the advantage of lower prices, WGO selling quality USED gear, and the concept of "competition being a good thing for the consumer" will also be have it's merits
Will a variety of freeze dried foods (mountain house etc.) be available?
Just curious...Anyone check out this new outfitter?
I stopped in during their opening weekend in their shop at the corner of Hwy 60 and Wolfpen Gap Road just to see what I could see. I haven't been to the newer location 1/2 mile from Woody Gap. A big plus was, as other posters have mentioned, support of cottage industry vendors. They had some unique items that I had not seen before. The staff were personable, knowledgable, and helpful. Not pushy at all. I can't speak to the inventory at the new place regarding foods.
Excellent use of glom in context!
Sucks that they are not open for Sobo's
Take Time to Watch the Trees Dance with The Wind........Then Join In........
They're closed for the "season" now. Looks to be only open during the NOBO bubble.

Yep, after May 1, you are dead to them. On the bright side, I made it through all the major gaps without those pesky hiker feeds going on.
