Has anyone here done any research on a backpacking/hiking rental business? Seems that there migt be a fair amount of people who would like to try backpacking/hiking but who decide that buying even mid-grade equipment is not worth the risk of totally hating ity and beng stuck with it and therefore they never even try.
If they could rent it relatively cheap it might be worth it to them.
Downside would be the replacement cost of gear damaged beyond repair and trying to keep up even if you were 3 or so years behind newest "stuff".
Do you think there is a market for something like that?
Thanks
