Camp shopping in the great North

[DavidGraves]

Howdy

We are lucky enough to be spending Christmas in Victoria and wondered if there are any great Canadian camping, truck or outdoor stores to look for ?

I always enjoy seeing different solutions to the same problem and even Canada Tire stores have camping gear seldom seen in the lower 48.

Its a different world out there.

While I have not been to their storefront, I've bought stuff online from Peden 4 Wheel Drive in Sydney. They were great to deal with. No idea what their physical location may be like though.
their is also a Mountain Equipment Co-Op in Victoria.

In Langford there is Princess Auto (like Harbour Freight)

Don’t forget Murchies. Tea & Coffee are important while camping.

Many thanks Gents

I will be looking for one of the little hand operated water pumps to fasten directly to 3/5 gallon Alliance jug.

I have seen folks using them in CA campgrounds but seldom in the states.

MEC, Capital Iron Works (been around for years--has great value), Mark Work Wear House for clothing. I love Canadian Tire, especially in the smaller towns--amazing stuff, I once found a birch bark moose call in Merritt. Homesick as hell.
