Always have high end outdoor gear, but the best part is they always make you feel right at home and alway welcome. They are happy to see you and they make a point to remember you when you come back and the staff is full of knowledge and seems like they experience using the equipment and being in the outdoors with to back it up. Keep up the great work guys.
Great conversations with knowledgeable staff who are always ready to help! Shop local, especially with prices being so competitive. They carry everything you need to enjoy nature comfortably and lightweight. Highest quality outdoor company in town right now! They also offer guided trips for beginners and people who enjoy a group experience at destinations that are ever changing.
Friendly at first then tried to be sneaky to get some number 1 comic books for 50 cent one I k ow for a fact 100 and.thats what I wanted for all I brought about 500 easy want go there no more
Great service and selection, fair prices.
Nice, fun store for camping and outdoor activities. My husband bought a hammock. Very happy with his purchase!
Staff is always helpful and friendly! Good selection of fishing flies
Good local outdoors store with all the things youd expect to find. wish they carried more of a variety of sizes in clothes. Im definitely going to check out their hiking group in fall when it cools off!
Great store, went for Hiking Boots. Found them on the first try. Great customer service.
Great place and amazing Gear!
Dont walk in with tattoos and a wide shoulder tank top. Im clean cut and pretty well off. I walked in about 15 feet behind someone. That person was greeted, I was not. The greeter even looked me in the eye and decided not to say anything.
Lost me as a customer by trying to sell me the floor model of a chair without acknowledging that they were doing it or asking if it was OK first. OK selection on some stuff you wont find on the shelf anywhere else in town but everything is always full retail and theres seldom meaningful sales.
They were great! Very knowledgeable! Not as wide a selection as some other places but more narrowed-down to solid product lines.
Nice fly fishing section with good arrangement of flies, employees were extremely nice and helpful. Will definitely go back.
I am going on a week long bike camping tour later this summer and needed some help finding what I needed. They exceeded my expectations with the wealth of knowledge they were able to give me. I learned a lot and I will confidently say that I will go back there again.
Great place to get your camping and backpacking gear.
I have depended on Backwoods for high quality outdoor wear and gear for my self and presents for my kids and friends for more than 10 years.It is a bonus that they now carry fly fishing equipment.
Great quality paint and guns ! The family had a blast i will definitely be going again !! Thanks Shannon always a pleasure !!
I have lived in Omaha my whole life and have never known about Backwoods until today. It seems that they are the only retailer in Omaha who carries chaco sandals in the winter. I went in thinking I knew what I wanted but through the careful help of associate Brian, I left much better prepared for my trip to Patagonia than I would have otherwise.Not only does everyone there KNOW their products, but they take the time to ask the RIGHT questions to make sure you invest in the PROPER equipment. The ability to ask the right questions comes from the employees having personal experience using the products/gear.I was also signed up for their rewards program that saved me some money right there on the spot. (Not a credit card)I was happy when I left but even more so when I got home and spent some quiet time analyzing the decision. (Its nice when it works out that way)Brian even delayed his departure for his Colorado trip to help me finish up. It takes a great experience for me to go out of my way to leave comments. 5 Stars well earned!
Lots of great name brand, outdoors gear at reasonable prices. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Friendly staff and a great selection of camping products.
Good selection usually, but customer service has always been kind of “meh”.
Very, very helpful staff.
A little pricey and not the biggest selection, but what they carry is all great quality, and the staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. Helped me resurrect a 20+ year old camping stove.
While this isnt nearly as large as an REI, its definitely better for outdoor recreation than Bass Pro or Cabellas which focus on hunting and carry sub par camping or adventure gear. What Backwoods carries is of good quality and the staff are pretty helpful.
Awesome place with awesome customer service!!
The workers are always super nice and helpful, great selection of outdoor gear.
Always comfortable and friendly people. good selection of climbing and pack packing
Project Healing Waters fly fishing and co-sponsor backwards present healing Saturday for a disabled American veterans
Very helpful and kind staff, one of the best outdoor speciality shops in town
Backwoods was a pleasant surprise. I happened to be in Omaha and swung in on a whim, never hearing of them before. I was impressed with their content and quality products, along with their polite and very knowledgable service. I asked questions about some minute details as well as some more obscure products and they knew their stuff inside and out. Everything in their store is quality gear. Need an ENO hammock, Osprey pack, Icebreaker merino wool clothing, cooking stoves, camp chairs, none of it was poor quality knock off brands and all of it was tempting to buy haha. I dont even live in Omaha but I have to go back for a few more VA appts and I will most definitely be going back in each time just because they are an awesome business, with friendly staff who know their stuff well and they seem to have a lot of local community events and outings. I cant recommend this business enough and intend to go spend more of my hard earned money there because they have the quality gear I need, which is hard to find in the Midwest, and they deserve the business.
Great staff, very helpful and knowledgeable
Now that Canfields has closed down this is my favorite outdoor store.
New location, same great experience.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Always fabulous service.
Very bad customer service also for a person who has spend lots of money there and they treated him with disrespect for the money that was spent there I would’ve went far and beyond for that customer I will never recommend this place to anyone also I will never be back and side note way overpriced.
Very helpful staff
Top quality in everything
My go to outdoor shop in Omaha.
I really didnt find the selection to be that great unless you want fishing gear.
Great store
Great stuff
