Fishing And Camping Gear Websites
There are a number of fishing and camping gear websites out there devoted to reviewing, and in some cases selling, the latest fishing and camping gear. In this article, we will look at some of the best sites on the web.
Fishing and Camping Gear Store Websites
Many of the most comprehensive websites belong to fishing and camping gear stores. One of the biggest is Cabelas, which evolved from a Nebraska-based mail order business founded in 1961 by Dick Cabela and his wife Mary, later joined in 1963 by Dick's younger brother Jim. Cabelas has since grown into a national chain of outdoor equipment stores and their website now features buyers guides, comparison and sizing charts for a wide range of camping, hunting and fishing equipment, as well as their complete online catalog.
Another store-based website oriented more towards discount equipment is The Outdoor Store, founded in 2002. Unlike Cabelas, The Outdoor Store is an Internet-only business. Their website features buyers guides like Cabelas, but also recipes for camping, articles on various outdoor pursuits and a huge range of links to other fishing, camping, hunting and mountaineering websites.
Fishing and Camping Gear Informational Websites
As great as store-based websites are, sometimes you want an unbiased opinion from someone who isn't trying to sell you something. For a vast collection of buyers guides to various forms of camping equipment, you could do a lot worse than to check out the very thorough, if not exactly snappily named www.hiking-gear-and-equipment-used-for-camping.com. There are guides to tents, stoves, dehydrated camping food, lighting, outdoor apparel, sleeping bags and many other types of hiking and camping equipment.
Sadly, there are no reviews of fishing gear, which is where Big Sky Fishing comes in. As its name implies, Big Sky Fishing is a Montana-based website geared towards fly fishing in that state, but its detailed buyers guides will be useful to fly fishers everywhere.
Knol is a website owned by Google which is dedicated to providing, in the words of its homepage, "authoritative article[s] about a specific topic". A bass fisherman who goes by the user name The Judge has helpfully provided a long list of links to buyers guides for different types of fishing equipment.
Fishing and Camping Gear Product Review Websites
Finally, there are websites that review specific products for campers and fishers. GORP is a website owned by the internet travel agents away.com. Its name is taken from an alternative name for trail mix which, depending on who you believe, stands for Good Old Raisins and Peanuts, Gobs of Raw Protein or Granola, Oats, Raisins and Peanuts. The website features reviews of what it deems "must have items" in a dozen or so categories and an interactive buyers guide to help you choose the right equipment.
Bass Pro Shops' website also features an outdoor library with over 250 article length product reviews covering hiking, fishing, camping and climbing gear.
