Found a neat site for equipment deals.

Deal of the Day Tracker | Hourly and Daily Deals ODAT | Clean Snipe - Sites like Woot

I am a steep and cheapo'holic, and then I found cleansnipe.

If you go to "deal sites" and click on all sites, it shows the daily deals for a lot of sites. I wasn't aware of most of them. I focus on the camping/hiking deals, but it shows other gear as well.
