Bikepacking is a lot of fun, but the gear to enjoy your trip can be expensive to purchase. I built out this Community Bikepacking Gear Lending Library so people who have never gone bikepacking can give it a try without investing in all the bags, small, lightweight tents and sleep systems, etc. Those who like bikepacking, but only do it once or twice a year can also rent the gear rather than make the $1,000 plus investment in stuff that sits on a shelf 50 weeks a year.
Hayward/Seeley/Cable area residents get special reduced rates, as do Patreon members of TheNxrth.com. Email me at SeeleyDave2021@gmail.com for the local discount code. Email Josh from the Nxrth for his Patreon discount code at info@thenxrth.com. Click on the orange button below to go to the Life Above 8 Recreogo rental page to reserve what you want to borrow.
You can pick up and return the gear from me in Seeley, or we can make arrangements to do that at a local bike shop. Contact me with any questions at SeeleyDave2021@gmail.com.
