tent camping<\/a> buy all this equipment (including tents), but after a couple of trips, soon realize it’s not for them and put their camping gear up for sale on one of these websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn most cases, you can get practically brand new gear for sometimes less than half the original cost. In fact, I’ve bought most of my camping gear this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What About Other Camping Gear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The general rule of thumb about buying discounted tents holds true for the rest of camping gear. For the most part, camping gear goes on sale at the end of the season or during major consumer holidays. You can almost always find a sale on camping gear if you look hard enough, but you might not find a discount on the specific item that you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re really in a pinch and need to get a piece of camping gear on a discount, there are websites that act as \u201coutlets\u201d of discounted and past-season gear. Websites like SteepandCheap.com and the REI Outlet usually have substantial deals on gear, but you might not get the color you want and sizes may be limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before buying an expensive piece of gear, it\u2019s always worth looking at a few different websites and visiting a few different stores to see what\u2019s on sale. While tents usually go on sale in the late fall\/early winter, retail stores have sales all year round that offers special discounts for holidays, so it\u2019s hard to say precisely when the best time of year to buy a tent actually is. Thus, it\u2019s important to always keep an eye out for a good deal, especially when you\u2019re making an investment on a critical piece of gear, like a tent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
