After 23 years in Berkeley, Wilderness Exchange has closed. With the friendliest sales staff, its no surprise they lasted 20 years across the street from REI! On both visits we showed up close to closing time and I of course ran around taking pictures rather than shop. Well the 3rd time I showed they had closed but an employee was selling his collection in the lot. There were new & used tents in all shapes and sizes. I was pondering this 3-man vintage North Face tent in the shape of a VW bus! There were plenty of The North Face, Patagonia and Dana Design bags and jackets. Looking at kayaks, canoes and outdoor equipment I was just so happy to be in Northern California- one step closer the great outdoors experience.
