Like most outdoor shops, Outside World Outfitters was created out of necessity. Brent, who grew up outdoors, along with his wife Eva, wanted to start a place for people who love being outside as much as they do. Their passion for the outdoors is evident in the way they run their business and the staff they hire. The customer experience is a refreshing one. Instead of typical, very sales-oriented associates, Outside World Outfitters serves their customers through a team of authentic outdoor enthusiasts who understand the products they sell and who want the customer to have the best outdoor experience possible.
Outside World Outfitters main store is located in Dawsonville, Georgia, with a second location in Columbus, Georgia. They stock all of the top name brands of hiking and camping clothing and gear as well as several smaller niche companies. Outside World also carries over 100 models of kayaks, canoes, and Stand Up Paddle Boards. One of their fastest growing outdoor sports is kayak fishing. Not only do they carry the top fishing kayak brands, but they also have a large supply of kayak fishing accessories.
Created for the purpose of outfitting exploration, Outside World Outfitters seeks to build a greater love for the outdoors with each person that walks through their doors. One way this is done is through its Academy program where they teach a variety of indoor and outdoor classes. This is also accomplished by their partnership with local organizations like Georgia River Network and the Etowah River Water Trail. Each day, the employees at Outside World help foster a passion for the outdoors in the surrounding communities.
If you are in the Dawsonville or Columbus Georgia area on March 18-20 stop by Outside World Outfitters for a great event. They will be hosting their 14th Annual Paddle Sports expo with classes and seminars ranging from kayak fishing to sport fish pond management. They will have great deals on all type of kayaks and paddle sports gear and will have area representatives from several of the big paddle sports brands.
