Will store shelves in Reno run out of camping supplies?

I looked and in Reno there are 3-6 Walmart, Target, and Home Depot stores. Will these stores be running out of supplies this coming weekend? For example: bicycles, bike supplies, air mattresses, sleeping bags, rebar, pvc, shadecloth, water, garbage bags, plastic tarps, etc?

Yes. Expect to fistfight over the last cases of PBR at Costco.

You may want to check out Twin City Surplus as well.

If history is any indication, NO they will not be running out. There are trailer loads of back stock so these stores won't lose a single sale.
If they find there may be some items selling fster than they thought, there will be more trailers of supplies sent in.
You will be just fine!

I have found that you can pick up what you need in Reno. It might not be exactly the band or color you wanted, but they stock a lot of what you will need.

Being flexible will be the name of the game. Some stores will allow you to preorder and then pick up.
In dust we trust.
