Gear in the closet?
Put it on a trail.
New or gently-used outdoor gear for participants who show up with none of their own — straight to a trip, not a shelf.
What we
take.
We accept new and gently-used outdoor gear: hiking boots, daypacks, sleeping bags, tents, bikes, helmets, wetsuits, paddleboards, and the rest. Unopened cases of bars, stacks of base layers, brand-overruns of jackets — we take those too.
For ongoing brand and retail donations, we work directly with sourcing, logistics, and CSR teams to handle large drop-offs and write-offs cleanly.
