I know there are a lot of folks out there that would like to try out some of the gear they see online before committing to purchase, so I decided to try a different concept. I'm calling it a gear hike, and basically here's how it works: you rent a piece of gear from my site to use on a trip set by End2End Trail Supply. You get one on one instruction on how to use the gear on an actual hike. If you decide you want that item the rental goes toward the purchase, along with a 10% discount. No pressure if you decide not to go for it. You can check out the details at https://end2endtrailsupply.com/E2E_Activities.html.
