How this works...

We make it easy!

You can pickup our rental gear at our retail store in Tempe for free or we will ship it to you just about anywhere in the US - there are shipping costs, but it will save you from driving around town picking up and returning gear.  Very convenient!

At checkout, you can select among several pickup and drop-off options, and compare delivery costs - all without entering any personal information.

Typical pickup points can include your home, office, hotel or our carrier's pickup point along your way, or sometimes even right to your campground host.

For ship-and-return options, we include a prepaid return label - just swap out these labels and drop off for return shipping after your camping trip.

See full details on shipping and returns.

The first thing to mention is that this bag is NOT suitable to rent as food protection in bear country!!! Use our bear cans if you're heading into the bears' backyard. 

These stainless steel mesh bags for rent are meant to keep pesky mice, birds, chipmunks and other rodents and varmints that like to steal and peck away at your food stash. These are real popular for use in any area where there isn't a big bear problem, but that doesn't have any ammo cans or other protective barriers at the camp sites. Desert and canyon territory for example. We rent these a lot to backpackers headed down into the Grand Canyon Park and Havasupai.

We rent a few different brands and sizes in this line, most commonly the "Rat Sack" sized about 18"x14" that weighs about 8 ounces, or 2 smaller-sized bags that total the same space; either way you can carry several days of food in the single or the 2-set.  It's hard to get much more specific as there are too many variables in what backpackers take for food and how they pack it.  

Here are some quick tips on using this for protection against a hungry furry or feathered nuisance:
-Must be hung OUT OF REACH to be effective against larger animals, but works fine against smaller critters.
-Using an odor proof bag to store any food will greatly help to deter the larger animals
-Do NOT over-stuff the bag.

Learn more about using this food-protection item before you rent it.  During peak season when inventory is in high demand for these as part of our desert backpacking packages, there is a limit of 3 units of this product if rented without a package or other larger rental.  If any question on availability for larger groups, just give us a call.
