Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World
200 Gulf Stream Way, Dania Beach, 954/929-7710, Basspro.com
Bass Pro Shops is designed for nature lovers, and nothing gets South Floridians back to nature as readily as a hurricane. Except for the camouflage clothing and titanium golf clubs, most everything at this 160,000-square-foot megastore could come in handy as hurricane relief. And unlike the emergency supplies sold elsewhere, most of the goods here are supersize to keep you stocked until the lights come back on. Bass Pro carries battery-operated lanterns that dwarf any flashlight, solar-powered AM/FM radios, 6-gallon gas tanks to fuel that free FEMA generator you claimed last year, 20- and 40-gallon coolers to keep the beer cold and gas grills small enough to fit on an apartment balcony yet big enough to feed an entire neighborhood. You can also pick up freeze-dried food, gallons of water and shotguns, should you need to defend your property from looters, though a golf club may suffice if your parole officer won't let you own a firearm.
