Cabela's and bass pro share the same owners for a few years now.

  Toyota and Lexus share the same owners, but one is still more "premium"

    Ah, cool, so the tent weatherproofing will be the same, but the zipper and plastic hooks will feel and work nicer on the more expensive branded one? ;D

      It’s all about balance. You can get good gear and bad gear anywhere. The Bass stuff is cheaper and won’t last as long but so what (we’re talking camping gear and clothes; dunno about guns, boats, fishing gear as that stuff isn’t my thing). And at bass you can pick up matches, an MSR stove (though not the full range) and Good useful gear. So that’s their target. And frankly who cares if your summer tent doesn’t work? Half the time I leave it at home anyway. Actually I’m wearing a bass shirt right now — “red bird” or whatever their house brand is. Super comfortable, but I wouldn’t wear it in the back country. But an expedition tent: I care a lot, and they don’t carry that.
