Camping equipment
23 October 2004 - 4:33pm
I'm new to camping in Hong Kong and I'm looking for camping equipment stores - not too expensive - any suggestions? I've also roamed SZ and GZ but seems there is little choice though I did find a very good 3-person tent in GZ for $160. :laugh:

Re:Camping equipment
I've been purchasing from several shops quite close to each other in the street off Argyle street - street parallel to sports shop street which is parallel to 'womens street'. Make sure that you compare the prices as I have made a mistake of purchasing something and then seeing the same item in a near by shop for 15% less!

Re:Camping equipment
Try RC Outfitters near Exit D2 Mongkok. They have a whole range of camping gear, reasonably priced.

Re:Camping equipment
hmm, this thread had covered stores in Hong Kong; the above looks like a spam post about an online, US site
Anyone wanting gear online via hkoutdoors might instead try:
Camping books and gear from Amazon US
or
Camping books and gear from Amazon UK
- and if all works out, I could even make a very little dough (with you paying regular amazon prices)

Re:Camping equipment
If you manage to pick up a copy of The List (the magazine that knows) there is a whole section on How to enjoy Hong Kong's great outdoors.
Also a list (unsurprisingly) of many camping shops.
Issue 10 November 15-30 2005, and can be found at many outlets along with HK magazine. Yes its free.
Don't forget to read the info provided by Martin William and Charles Frew....again! (pages 20-21).

Re:Camping equipment
I found a number of stores selling camping equipment on Fa Yuen Street. The one I like most is World Sports Co., 83 Fa Yuen Street, 1/F. The staff is very helpful.

Re:Camping equipment
I found this thread helpful for my HK visit last week (Nov 2006).
Yes, World Sports Co is a good small sized store. It looks like a family run business, and the staff was indeed helpful.
The other shop I liked was the chain Chamonix Alpine Equipment - their new store is located just round the corner from World Sports Co (a corner unit - I don't remember the street). They had a promotion where if you spend above HKD300, everything is 20% off. I ended up going to the shop 3 times, each time enjoying the 20% :P
Pro Trek along Nathan Rd, near Mong Kok MTR is another shop I visited. More of the same type stuff (different brand) from the above 2 shops, and I had already purchased most of the equipment I wanted from World Sports and Chamonix.
Cheers,
Jack

re altimeter
I've only just noticed this was published as a comment, also as a query to me: I suggested Protrek, as some memory of buying an altimeter there years ago.

Hi Andy:
Welcome to HK Outdoors!
I rarely camp, have little gear, so don't know so much re the stores.
But one store I sometimes use - as has fair range of gear, plus an outlet that's convenient for me (in Wanchai), is ProTrek.
Info on the company: [ul]http://www.protrek.com.hk/aboutus.htm[/ul]
Maybe others can suggest more shops; I've some memories of street in Mong Kok where there are several outdoors shops; quick google search, and seems this is Fa Yuen Street.
(I must go and check it out, add to Need to Know Basics).
Hope you find a good store, and report back to us.
Cheers,
Martin
