You may have heard about the Mountain Goat Outfitter in W-Town, MA going out of business in 2012. There is a new shop at the same address of 130 Water St. Williamstown, MA 01267. The Gear Den is a consignment store specializing in gently used outdoor clothing and gear. We also carry a small to medium inventory of backpacking equipment and supplies, including books, maps, and fuel, both canister and liquid by the ounce. As in the past, hikers are welcome to camp in the back yard next to the Green River and mail drops are welcome. Possible future plans at The Gear Den include a small hostel, pay showers, and a laundromat in the basement.
