We’re proud to be part of IndieOutdoor: a growing collective of certified independent outdoor retailers committed to real expertise, community connection, and the preservation of outdoor culture.
What makes an IndieOutdoor retailer different?
✔ 100% independent
✔ No corporate ownership
✔ No outside investment
✔ Staff who actually use the gear they recommend
At Pack Rat, that looks like helping you prepare for your next adventure, supporting local outdoor nonprofits, hosting community events and skills clinics, and sharing real-world gear advice from our staff.
Independent outdoor retail is about more than selling gear: It’s about helping outdoor communities thrive.
