This was a few years ago: They dropped CamelBak because their parent company

also owned Savage Arms and Stevens Firearms. They only started selling CamelBak after the company divested of those firearms subsidiaries.

That was when I--a former REI employee--resigned my membership, and I haven't shopped there since.

It might surprise you to know that hunters are very much against animal cruelty. Fishermen on the other hand...

I grew up in a family of hunters, I’ve been around them my whole life.

Then you know that what you wrote about hunters is false. Maybe it's just a family thing.
