Things to consider:
1. Your skills, fitness level, and comfort levels. Are you looking to push your limits or stay within your comfort limits?
2. Your expectations. There are many factors to consider when planning. Often, the seasons will dictate the types of expereiences that are safe to do.
3. Your level of flexibility. Don't be flexible with what you want to experience but you may need to be patient with how quickly and easily you can have that experience.
1. Do I need a permit/reservation for overnight stays?

Yes, fees vary on location & number of passengers. Generally, we pick up at public transit locations such as BART or Ferry locations.

Yes, very easily.
11. I have a barrier to these types of activities, but I would still like to participate. Can you accommodate?
Yes, if feasible. We will do everything possible to accommodate. Please keep in mind some locations may not be suitable / hazardeous to you.

Depends, contact us.
13. What happens if the rental gear gets damaged?
Depends on the gear & circumstances. The wilderness can take its toll on gear as can you when NOT using gear properly. A deposit fee is collected on each rental and will be deducted from this. Typically, a refundable deposit fee is collected prior to each rental; 40% of these total rental fee.

After each use.
15. Can I buy the rental gear after I use it?
