    SS turkey cooker. Not heavy but big volume. Great for crays, mussels, turkeys, chickens, wings, crabs...... oil/ water base, just a big pot with a huge flame and big pot above.

    might pay to troll their website to refine your search a bit/get them to collect you a pile of bits so you can just ogle without stressing to find X or Y
    from what my dad said its overwhelming
    magizines are cheep as chips, there the ones that hold bullets not the paper variety
    open them and drop them in the bottom of your bag
    depends what you need really

    I used to work at the one in Calgary (2009-2010).

    they are a great place to buy accessories like shooting aides, hearing protection, rifle add-ons, reloading stuff, etc. oh and cheap novelty hats and t shirts

    hunting clothing is generally pretty good value as well but a lot of it isn't well suited to nz style of hunting.

    camping and fishing gear is well priced too so you can find some good deals there.

    generally hunting / shooting kit is slightly better by way of range and price at Cabelas.

    cheaper than nz by a lot, but not as cheap as some other store in the US.

    I bought at bass pro in Florida a cameo mosquito net complete suit. It packs up super compact when you don't need it and can be worn over normal clothing and be fitted in a couple of minutes.

    It is used by the guys hunting in the swamp in Florida and Louisiana and also by the guys hunting in Alaska .

    That would be a perfect items against the sand flies in Stuart island.

    I've found the stuff made in the US is usually well priced when you are in the US (sort of no shit sherlock!)
    That said, optics can be a good buy, especially leupold.
    Mostly I end up buying nick nacks that will be be handy one day, just don't know when. Bass Pro and Cabelas are also responsible for a fair old collection of knives too.
    Oh and Avery products. I was in the Memphis Bass Pro during their duck season, I've never seen so many deeks and duck related gear.
    As someone said , you can always order on line and collect in store too.
    Mrs Imaca likes Bass Pro too, they seem to have good leasure gear that is not camo or green.
    I believe that the guy who owns Bas Pro has recently purchased Cabelas.

    Oh and prices are before tax which always catches me by surprise

    Enjoy.
