In the early 70s my father invested in quality outdoor and camping gear which he used and cared for greatly. Today he still uses that same equipment and it works as well as ever. It is my goal to salvage these beautiful pieces of outdoor history and craftsmanship and give them a second life serving the outdoor communities around the world.
If you’re looking for a specific piece to complete your collection, or because they just don’t make em’ like they used to feel free to drop us a line.
May your days be better spent outdoors.

Hi-
I’m looking for all kinds of vintage backpacking/mountaineering gear and clothing but the two things on the top of my list right now are a sierra designs 3 man tent (tepee design) and a yakworks yak pack. I have a bunch of stuff that I can offer in trade as well as cash.
Hello,
First off just want to thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I will certainly keep an eye out for the items you are looking for. The only tents I have right now are two-man from Alpine Designs and Sunshine. I also have medium size packs from Holubar and Alpine Designs. Feel free to check out the Basecamp Vintage eBay and Etsy stores for the latest and contact me directly if you see anything you like. Also any other items I can keep an eye out for let me know and I’ll do my best to find them.
Thanks
Rob

Hello,
I recently bought a vintage daypack and the foam in the straps has hardened. Do you know of a place that repairs daypack straps?

Hi Jordan,
Here are links to a few businesses that can most likely help you out. Please note this is not an endorsement for either business as I have not used their services. But, hopefully they can provide you with estimates for your repair or direct you to another outfit that can help.

Hi,
I noticed that you have a Sierra Designs, Terra III listed here (yes it’s is a Terra III not IV – Terra III = 3 Seasons; Terra IV = 4 seasons; both had same foot print if I remember right).
Anyway is it available for sale?
Thank you,
Marek
Hi Marek, Thanks for the info. Unfortunately this tent is no longer available.
