In Springfield Missouri there is a pretty big and cool Bass Pro Shops (which I'm pretty sure is its headquarters) that has a gun museum and large fishing, boating, and hunting displays.
First a DannyBVlogs, now an Eric Estepp Vlog! Who's next? What a great start to the day!
This is awsome
That’s awesome, I am a huge fisherman and so excited to go there, that is my dream destination honestly even though I have been to Jamaica and places like that, but I am goin on July 8th and staying in their hotel!

Bass Pro in Bristol use to have the Fish Bowl bowling ally attached. It was detailed but may not be that detailed as it is in Memphis (but hey you go all out in the pyramid), now Bristol's Bowl is now Cabellas line of outdoor gear
apparently, Austin Dillon, Richard Childress, Tony Stewart, Kerry Earnhardt, and Kelley Earnhardt Miller were all there for the grand opening
🇺🇸 for my friend. its been 10 years since Crystal Palace in Moncton NB was replaced by another bass pro shop in the city
Visited this place last week on vacation in Tennessee from PA. I was in awe.
Kool video Eric!! Never knew this existed!! I’m there!! This is a nice change of pace ,, glad you showed us this most awesome Bass pro shop ,, thanks 😊
Random Thought: When Eric said "Tomb of Doom", the way he said it is like an evil villain, and if he was one, I'd say he's like a Baxter Stockman Also I'm originally from Memphis, and I've never been to the pyramid....

Over 40 years ago, Bass Pro was just a regional chain of small bait shops when I was a boy living in Northern Missouri. How it's become such a large corporate is something else. Columbia and Springfield, MO also have great big nice Bass Pro shops. The Bass Pro pyramid is magnificent!
Surprised Noah Gragson wasnt there, Its would have made this video a whole lot better
I went through the pyramid in the early 2000's when the Guggenheim Art of The Motorcycle exhibit was there. I was the only person in the building, it was awesome.
This is awesome to see you post this, I live right across the bridge in West Memphis AR
WOW 😲 that is most definitely awesome thank you for the tour
Love that video. U should make more videos like these Eric💯
Great shout out to Bright Sun Films! Love their videos
I was thinking of the BSF video the whole time you were there, I was shook when you mentioned him! It was a worlds collide moment. Hahaha
That was Awesome!!! Thanks for doing that!!
i live near the bass pro HQ in springfield. they have shooting arcades, ponds, and an albino alligator. also we have a huge aquarium and it is awesome. i highly recommend it
Thank you for sharing this. Wowser! I will definitely go there soon.

Oh wow that is really awesome I have to go there and I love Bass pro Shop With Swamp Experience!
You're already there! Can't wait to be at the race sunday!
Honestly, when I was on a trip to Oklahoma we arrived at this large hotel, the interior was beautiful. I loved it! I even got to saw a tall view of the top of the hotel. Like what, it was like.. 100 or 200 ft tall? I forgot. It was honestly one of the most best hotels.

The last race at Nashville Superspeedway was the NASCAR Nationwide (now Xfinity) Series Federated Auto Part 300 on July 23, 2011. Carl Edwards won the race. So, that is just LESS THAN 10 years not more. But, I'm headed to Gladeville on Sunday as well, maybe I'll see you there.

I was fixing to move to Memphis to fly a drone for security purposes, but I was looking to settle down in Arkansas a short distance from the border. Then I saw that that bridge you highlighted was shut down, I saw the absurd traffic outside of peak hours at the bridge to the South and realized I'd be playing with fire on drive time, especially if god help me a crash happened on the southern bridge. That being said...that pyramid does look really cool. I'd definitely check it out had I followed through on that relocation.
