Rental Camping Equipment Delivered Right to Your Door

I am a novice camper who wants to be better. I want to be the kind of chick who can strap a sleeping back to her back and set off into the wilderness, pitch a tent and spear a fish.

And so, for the past six months, I have been slowly easing myself into the concept of abandoning my much-loved boutique hotels for sleeping bag, tents, tick spray, and campfires.

I very much look forward to becoming a proper camper. The problem is that I don’t own any of the proper equipment to camp on my own.

It is quite expensive. I don’t know exactly what I need, and I don’t know if I’m ready to make the investment.

That’s why I was delighted to learn that now you can rent camping gear from GetOutfitted.com. I first learned about GetOutfitted last year when I rented ski clothes from them. That service was glorious. I chose what I wanted on their website, and they delivered it right to the slopes for me.

The company makes it supersimple. You select what kind of camping or hiking you are doing, and then choose your camping dates; the gear is delivered directly to you.

When you’re finished with your trip, you just put the gear back into the box, add a prepaid shipping label, and send it back.

If you aren’t sure what you need, GetOutfitted has an army of experts ready to talk you through it.
