"Great logistical experience - everyone was very helpful in the planning stages of our trip. And the food was some of the best I've ever had while on a backcountry trip. Will absolutely use them again."
"RightOnTrek has been a wonderful partner for the Glacier Institute! They were kind enough to not only supply full backpacking setups for our youth wilderness trips, but they also delivered the gear to our remote camp and assisted staff with any questions.
The backpacking gear and locally-made meals were top-quality and delivered in an extremely timely fashion. Don't hesitate to contact the RightOnTrek team for any of your backcountry needs!"
Our gear is checked, cleaned, and laundered after every use. We closely follow CDC guidelines, use products that are on the EPA’s List N (products proven to be effective in disinfecting against most common pathogens including COVID variants).
We ask that you do a basic cleaning of cooking equipment, eating utensils, and a quick shakeout of sleeping bags, backpacks and tents. Please also remind your clients to check for any personal belongings! Our professional guide partners are not however expected to deep clean their rental equipment, just be respectful and care for it as your own.
We rent premium, ultralight backpacking equipment, high quality comfortable camping and day hiking equipment and latest model snowshoe equipment. Our gear comes from brands like MSR, Big Agnes, Patagonia, Garmin, and Granite Gear.
With bear spray included, our all-inclusive backpacking kit weighs less than 14lbs! For a comprehensive list of each rental item and their weight, please click here.
