What if I don't have any equipment?
You can rent your equipment if you don't have your own. One of the guys did that two years ago. He rented his gear from REI and it was around $200 for a backpack, tent, sleeping bag, pad, bear cannister, and camping chair. He liked it so much he bought is own gear and came again last year.

Some of the guys going on this trip have been backpacking for years and may be able to loan/share items. If you're interested in going, but don't have all the gear, please reach out so we can get you what you need.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
