Backpack, tent, sleeping bag, bear-safe canister, food, water… If you are planning a backpacking or camping trip, these are probably some of the things on your mind. A lot goes into planning an outdoor adventure, and it can be a bit daunting to look at the price tags for gear, especially if you’ve never been backpacking before.
Instead of buying more stuff or worrying about borrowing from friends, you can rent your backpacking and camping gear. Retailers such as Sports Basement and REI have simple rental programs, making it easy to reserve and book gear for your trip. Renting supplies is a great way to reduce consumption, to test gear out before you purchase your own, and can potentially save you some money.
