I live down here, and Bass Pro is about the only thing we have with a selection --- I'm more of an REI fan, but the closest store we have is in Atlanta or I buy from rei.com.

BPS isn't bad, it has the "run of the mill" brands - Kelty, Jansport, TNF, and some Gregory. Sleeping bags vary, and the boots are OK. If that's all you are getting, you should be OK, but you'd have better luck buying online and having it shipped to your hotel.

Peter Glenn - well, I've never been too fond of it unless I'm buying snow gear. The biggest store around is on Oakland Park Blvd between 95 and the Turnpike, the one on Sunrise Blvd is quite small and tends to be more of a "boutique" store.

But then again, I'm biased.... REI got me hook, line, & sinker!
