Is Gear Getting More Expensive? We Ran the Numbers
Date: August 22, 2024
Synopsis: "Nesting Cookware 1974 (1, 2, 3 qt.): $8 (~$48.43 in 2024 adjusted for inflation) 1991 (1, 1.5, 2.5 qt.): $30 (~$69 in 2024 adjusted for inflation) 2024 (*GSI Outdoors Glacier Series 2.1 qt., 3.1 qt., skillet, 2x strainer lids): $90... I wanted to know how the cost of REI’s 1974 nesting kitchen cookware set compared to the cheapest, most generic nesting cookware I could find. I browsed Amazon until I found a similar set. And the difference in price lends weight to the idea that brand names might be driving the prices of camp cookware up."
