Gear Out Of Stock

[Lefty1]

I spend the off season getting gear together. Next year I will be back country hunting for the first time so some different gear is needed. Am I the only one who finds everything is out of stock? I dont remember it ever being this bad! Should I just blame it on Covid like everything else?

No, its bad but it usually is this time of year COVID or not. Everyone should start getting their orders in over the next several weeks.

@Rzrbck918 I agree. Seems like around spring, when new products drop, everything starts to come back in-stock

I think the Outdoor Retailer show is about this time. Retailers will figure out what they want and place orders, hopefully things will be restocked by spring.

Like everyone else said, alot stuff is out of stock this time of year. Two years ago when I ordered my pack from Mystery Ranch, I kept checking from January all the way up until the middle of March to check the inventory and they finally had it in stock but only last a day then they were out of stock again.

Several Eberlestock items has been out of stock for a long time now. Beginning to think that maybe they are goin under. Hope not, I need a large hip belt for my F1Mainframe.

Overseas supply chains have been a pain. We (Seek Outside) make everything in house, so while we've been slammed, have been able to at least tread water on lead times.

With so many better products out there for comparable prices, I wouldn't be surprised if Eberlestock went out of business.

Badlands trust came out with a ton of new gear.....They are the best in my opinion and never seem to run out.

no lots of stuff out of stock. I'm glad it wasn't this bad when I was gearing up for my first Back Country Backpack hunt last year.
We planned a 12 day hunt 15 miles into Chugach Mountains in Alaska. Awesome learning experience and I'd actually like to try to go back to the same area but with a rifle instead of a bow.

But yes - Gear is sparse. Lots of empty shelf spots for ammo, packs, food, etc. Good luck gearing up!

I see the same thing here in Texas, lots of empty shelves, I'm glad I had extra from last year on some supplies.
