Let me know some largest shop of Black Yak

Submitted by on

On February I will visit Korea again to try Chiri-san Mountain and others as many as possible.

 

But only after I land on pusan , I hope to buy some tools like six-points-eisen overmitton-goretex-glove-cover and else.

 

On recent trip, I found a quite small shop on Chunondong next to KB-bank , and I bought a 2person's tents with quite cheap price. 55000won, Wow the same one cost tentimes more expensive in Japan. And design of BlackYak tent is superior than Japanese makers' like MontBell.

 

So, Pusan / Seoul , if I hope to find not a town-walk-wear but real mountaneering equipment, which shop is your recommendation- and may be I visit other city like taejon taegu after summiting sokrisan sobaeksan etc.  Can you recommend some shop there and others-----

There are outdoor and hiking shops all over town that sell Black Yak as well as other Korean brands such as K2, Campline and Treksta, and international brands.

Your best bet is Nampodong since they seem to have the most shops in one area. On the main road near the Jalgachi fish market entrance are at least 4 shops. There is also OK Outdoor that carries a huge range of equipment or all major brands.

I would presume you don't speak Korea. But the map is pretty self explanatory, take exit 1 at Nampodong station and just count the streets.

I can't really answer your other questions. The cities you mentioned are all spread out all over the country and all are accessible by bus or train. You would have to specify a more detailed itinerary in order for people to help you more.

Thank you !!  I can read map!

Actually I do not speak normal korean language, one-by-one I can read and guess pronounciation of words written in Korean letters.

 

Seems OK-Outdoor is quite good .

Only one thing is that, I can not find e-mail address (ToT)

Well I can write down their postal address So I will try later.

 

Thank you so much.

 

 

PS if I discribe my plan right now. (with limited info/map on mountains along ya country)

Busan - Namwon - Chirisan ---Sokrisan --- Odaesan ----  chusok-city to view Soraksan ---  Seoul --- Bokhansan -- onto others
