About Us
Overview
Ruck & Roam Outfitters is a women-owned outdoor gear rental company founded by two mothers & outdoor professionals who believe adventure shouldn’t be limited by gear, experience, or logistics.
We make the outdoors more accessible by offering high-quality hiking, backpacking, & camping gear rentals designed for travelers, families, & adventurers exploring America’s National Parks & public lands. Our goal is simple: remove barriers, reduce waste, & help more people experience the outdoors with confidence.
From iconic National Parks to remote trailheads, our curated outdoor gear rental kits include everything you need, & nothing you don’t. Each kit is carefully assembled by experienced outdoorswomen & tested in real-world conditions to ensure reliability, comfort, & ease of use.
What We Offer
Ruck & Roam specializes in complete camping and backpacking gear rental kits, thoughtfully designed for a wide range of outdoor experiences: from day hikes & multi-day backpacking trips to family camping adventures.
Our rental kits eliminate the guesswork of planning by bundling essential gear together, saving you time, space, & unnecessary expense. Whether you’re flying in, road-tripping, or exploring close to home, our gear allows you to travel lighter without sacrificing quality.
At select locations, we also offer optional concierge services for a truly hassle-free experience. From campsite setup & breakdown to trip logistics support, our concierge options allow you to focus fully on the adventure, without worrying about gear management.
Why Rent Instead of Buy?
Outdoor gear is an investment- but for many adventures, buying doesn’t make sense.
Renting outdoor gear allows you to:
- Avoid the high upfront cost of purchasing equipment you may only use once or twice
- Skip bulky packing, airline baggage fees, & transportation headaches
- Access high-quality, well-maintained gear without long-term storage concerns
- Reduce waste & support more sustainable outdoor recreation
- Try new activities before committing to expensive purchases
Renting also supports responsible travel. By sharing durable, long-lasting equipment, we help reduce overproduction & keep lightly used gear out of landfills- while still ensuring every guest has access to safe, dependable equipment.
Our Philosophy
Rooted in respect for wild places & built with real-world experience, Ruck & Roam exists to support meaningful, memorable, & sustainable outdoor adventures. We believe the outdoors should feel welcoming -not intimidating- & that access to quality gear should never be the reason someone stays home.
Whether you’re a first-time hiker, a family exploring a National Park, or a seasoned adventurer traveling light: Ruck & Roam Outfitters is here to simplify the process & elevate the experience.
You bring the curiosity.
We’ll handle the gear.
