The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.

There's a local store that rents outdoors gear (climbing stuff, camping supplies etc), it's for profit and it's great. Would be way cooler if it were a library, but the local business is totally affordable and easy.

I've used it several times. My friends and I plan an outing and plan supply pickup/dropoff as part of the outing.
