I live close to Sadang. There are some sidewalk vendors selling a limited selection of stuff there. The actual outdoor retail places are too rich for my blood. Any markets or popular places for secondhand/cheap stuff? With all of the people who hike here, there has to be something.[/code]

There are some places around jongno 4 ga/kwangjang market that seem to have stuff that fell off the truck, if you know what I mean - you can find stuff around dongdaemun - another good place to look is near trail heads on the east side of bukhansan/dobongsan

Shindang Market and Dongmyo Station arepretty good places.

Like somebody above said, any of the major trail heads are good enough. Sure, it's not top brand gear but it's certainly good enough for Korean mountains for at least a year. And cheap. Or try Dongdaemun. Or, usually whatever street you live on has a hiking shop. It'll do the job for few pennies.

I'm sure someone will say it's crap quality, but really, you don't need the best outfit for doing Korean \hiking/climbing
