The New Mexico Wilderness Alliance presents the 2nd annual Gear Swap to 
be held Sunday May 18th at our office, located at 142 Truman St. NE.

The public is invited to bring their slightly used outdoor equipment to 
be sold. Sell your gear and shop for some great bargains. Twenty two 
percent commission to benefit the NM Wilderness Alliance. Bring your 
used kayaks, canoes, dry bags or paddles, slightly used backpacks, 
sleeping bags, tents, or sleeping pads. Please, no used climbing gear or 
flotation devices.

Sell the stuff that has been collecting dust. Get rid of the old stuff 
so you can buy new. Help folks with limited funds, so they can purchase 
equipment and enjoy the Wilderness with us. “This is the perfect 
opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to clean out the garage and sell 
their previously-loved equipment so you can buy something new,” said 
Nathan Newcomer, Media Director for the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance. 
“It’s also a great opportunity for the public to learn about 
sustainability, wilderness first aid and a whole slew of other things.”

The Wilderness Festival is a celebration of New Mexico’s wild public 
lands and a vision of a more energy efficient future. There will be 
booths promoting wilderness, wolves, sustainability, and outdoor 
recreation. Workshops on wildlife tracking, packing light, gourmet 
wilderness cooking, map reading and much more. Great music and guest 
speakers!
