I’m sitting at my desk right now, but I’d rather be outside. The sun is out, the air is warm, and I need to justify the 1.3 pounds of trail mix I ate when I wanted a snack. Luckily, REI has all the gear required to enjoy the outdoors, and a ton of it is on sale during the company’s 4th of July sale. The deals are live right now and will run through July 7th, but some deals are limited by stock, so they could sell out if you lollygag.
