If automobile technology had advanced as fast as backpacking and camping gear has in the last 40 years, cars would last 50 years without maintenance, run silently, and fold up to store in a closet. A slight exaggeration maybe—but today’s outdoor equipment is truly worlds ahead of what existed even a decade ago.

At A Walk in the Woods, our gear rentals make it easy to access the latest, most reliable backpacking and camping equipment without the cost or confusion of choosing from dozens of modern styles. Book online for fast, convenient pickup and get everything you need—tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, camp chairs, coolers, lighting, cook systems, and more—along with guidance on how to use it. Adventure made simple, so you can focus on the Smokies.
