Thread: REI Boycotting Vista Outdoors for Supporting NRA

  1. #81
    Just got a survey from REI asking about how I choose to engage with the outdoors.

    I stated clearly that the Vista boycott means they will no longer be part of how I engage with the outdoors.

    When I wrote them some months back, (and I've been a member for several decades), they basically told me to go fuck myself in more corporately acceptable words. I let them know what they could do with my membership.

    I won’t bother to cancel, but probably never purchase anything again. They can spend the money to mail me catalogs.

    Of course, over in the ammo thread some are upset at Vista for not selling 50 round boxes to non-LE and threatening boycotting them.

    Hmmm.

    REI's decision is imho the more egregious of the two...I think you'd agree.

    Sorry, but I'd say they are merely a slightly above average insurance company. Everything about them has been on a slow, but steady, decline for last 20 years.

    I can buy fancy backpacks somewhere else. To hell with 'em all.
