While I had to lay out the initial cash I replace all my gear every 6-9 months for new and I'm set for life.
Want to try camping, buy a tent.
Don't like it, return.
Want to try a specific tent to compare, buy it, return.
Want to try sleeping in a hamock to see if it's meme or not
Buy & use & return
Going on a river trip but don't have a kayak and don't want to pay to rent one.... by now you've figure it out.
C'mon say it with me
BUY IT
USE IT
RETURN IT
