Camping World buys Gander Mountain

Ive only bought my sleeping bag from Gander Mountain. that was 25 years ago. GM is setup like a sporting goods store and the prices were just as crazy. I like the BPS and Cabellas.... which I believe was bought by BPS? but they both offer decent prices and a nice shopping experience.

Last I heard the buyout deal did not go through? (BPS buying Cabelas) But I am not sure.

Long ago (30ish years?) we bought some camping stuff from Gander Mountain, including our backpacking tent which we still use. Back then they had good quality stuff at good prices, and were great for "mail order" - remember that term? lol

I thought GM went out of business? Obviously not completely?

It must be very tough to compete with Cabela's / BPS.
