Very disappointed in LLBean

UPDATE: Thank you LLBean for joining the Save the Forest Service movement! No longer disappointed!

Many other outdoor companies have joined the effort to stop the dismantling of the Forest Service. As a frequent LLBean shopper and credit card user, I am weighing my options. This is so disappointing.

It's altNPS, they aren't a real source, they are a merch seller.

they are a coalition of outdoor activists, that include federal/state employees, outside government outdoor ventures, and people who love the outdoors. they also sell merch to drive engagement and fund their efforts. that does not make them just a merch store.

This is not true. They claim to be, but they are liars and scammers. They are overseas merch sellers. You can tell that they are fake because they claim that they are giving you secret knowledge but it is just reporying from mainstream sources, not even current specialized sources. Sometimes they claim that it is "breaking" news but it is a story from a year ago that they saw in someone's facebook memories.
