Student Gear Lists

Still Deciding?

What’s the minimum spend?

All rentals require a minimum booking value of $1,000. This makes it ideal for school groups, outdoor educators, or multi-day trips where you’re hiring a full setup – such as tents, sleeping systems, packs, and safety gear. If you're a solo traveller or just after a few items, consider teaming up with friends or hiring everything you need in one go to get the most value from your booking.

How do I return gear?

Returning your gear is simple. Each rental comes with clear return instructions and any packaging needed for safe transit. Depending on your location, you can either drop the gear back to us or arrange a courier pickup. We’ll help you organise the return process so it’s as smooth and stress-free as your adventure should be.

What if something’s damaged?

We get it – outdoor gear is meant to be used. General wear and tear is expected and won’t be penalised. However, significant damage, misuse, or missing items may incur a repair or replacement fee. We encourage you to treat the gear as if it were your own, and if something goes wrong, just let us know – we’re here to help, not to catch you out.

Can I rent just one item?

Yes, you can, but the $1,000 minimum hire still applies. If you’re only after a single tent or sleeping bag, we recommend bundling it with other essentials or coordinating your hire with mates, school groups or travel partners. It’s a great way to maximise the value and access professional-grade equipment without the ownership costs.
