Tim Kroymer says he didn’t know that he was creating a scale model of the outdoor store until it was almost complete. “For years, I’ve been bringing home all kinds of shit from there — hydration packs, climbing rope, basically anything they sell — which I would then arrange neatly on pegboards to no clear end,” he said. “Thousands of dollars later it finally hit me.”
