Shopping Guide 2013: Great Black Friday/Cyber Monday Outdoor & Backpacking Gear Deals

Thanksgiving is here and we all know what that means. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are almost here, and I think some people are more excited about these shopping holidays than they are about Turkey Day. These are commercial times we are living in, are they not?

Well, if you cannot beat them, then you might as well join them. So, here are all the great Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on outdoor gear (and some not so outdoorsy) that I could find for everyone to enjoy. There are plenty of decent deals, so anyone wanting to save some money, so check them out. If these deals do not get you in the mood for the holidays, then I am not sure what will.

Whether an outdoor enthusiast is on your holiday shopping list or you are simply looking to upgrade your equipment, there are deals that should satisfy just about everyone. Take a look below and jump on these opportunities since many end November 29 and/or December 2, 2013!

Mountain Plus is having a number of sales on specific items through Cyber Monday on December 2nd.

Receive a FREE 16GB SanDisk Ultra Class 10 Micro SD card, a Wasabi battery kit and a GoPole Grenade Grip with purchase, plus FREE SHIPPING. That is a value of…well, I have no idea, but it must be big bucks. I have long wanted to record my bushwhacking adventures, so I might just pick one up for myself, unless of course one of you want to get one for me 😉

Mountain Plus is having a couple other deals too. Buy a Nemo tent and receive a FREE footprint and shipping. Save 15% on Altra Zero Drop Now Running Shoes with FREE Swiftwick socks and shipping. Both of these deals are good through Dec. 2nd. Plus, they are offering up to 40% off snowshoes!

The Sawyer Mini Water Filter is a lightweight and compact filter (it fits in the palm of a reasonably sized human and weighs only 2 oz!) and is as versatile as all get-out. You can drink from it directly, attach it to a Sawyer Squeeze Pouches, use inline or attach it to a water bottle. It contains the same 0.1-micron hollow fiber membrane filter used in all Sawyer filters. I have used a Sawyer filter for years now; they are super lightweight and seem to last for many years.

Use code MJCARD at checkout to receive this offer. Offer ends December 8, 2013, but why wait. Unfortunately, the offer is not valid for the really good stuff (of course!), so not valid for Western Mountaineering, Canada Goose, Moncler and Montbell items, so forget the fantastic Highlite Sleeping Bag.

Moosejaw is also discounting some North Face jackets for men and women on Black Friday. Get The North Face Women’s Morningside Jacket for $69.99, with the original price of $99.95.

It is so hush-hush, they are not releasing the top secret coupon code until the day of the sale. I will post it either here or on Twitter as soon as it is available, so come back and check if this sale interests you. Or just watch my Twitter feed the entire day at work, but do NOT tell your boss I said it was okay! [The super-secret code is 5XREWARD]
