Gear Shop Ordering Instructions

• Gear Shop Concept versus Annoying Banners
• The Gear Shop Uses "Cookies"

 
Gear Shop Concept vs. Annoying Banners:

The Gear Shop is my answer to the practice of using annoying banners - disliked by all of us - to generate income. The income I make from the Gear Shop and the Backpacker's Bookstore will, hopefully, allow me to keep this website running indefinitely. Please support this Gear Shop insofar as it meets your needs. If it doesn't meet your needs, then please tell me - without you, there's no store!

 
Please Accept Cookies from Gear Shop Suppliers:

Our suppliers of lightweight outdoor gear (as well as most on-line businesses) serve up "cookies" which record information about your computer, in order to keep track of your order, as you move through their store. By doing this, we can create a virtual shopping cart within which you can put all the items that you MIGHT want to buy. You can put items into the cart and take items out of the cart, much the same as any in-store experience.

They also use the "cookie" information to track referrals from the Gear Shop to their respective stores. In other words, when someone buys something thru the Gear Shop, the cookie issued by the supplying retailer takes note of that fact and, subsequently, we get paid $.02, or whatever. So please accept cookies.

And Finally,

Thanks a bunch for your continued support to keep this ship afloat !
