7. Renting vs. Owning Outdoor Gear with Reet Singh

When starting a new outdoor pursuit, should you buy your gear or rent it first?

Is renting gear only for beginners?

What kinds of outdoor gear should you rent, and which ones should you buy?

In episode 7 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, Reet Singh, co-founder of TripOutside, and I explore questions like this as well as the pros and cons of renting vs. owning, mindset surrounding *having* to own gear, and the ins and outs of the outfitter industry.

Reet gets stoked about mountain biking, scrambling mountains, backcountry camping, snowboarding, and introducing others to outdoor adventure.

Where to find him: Trying new experiences, meditating, playing with your dog, mountain biking, and falling from stuff.
