From the staff
This is a shop for people who gave up on camping because they had no gear. If it is your first time, we have you pitch the tent once in the garden before sending you off.
Why this place supports social causes
We want to cut down the rubbish left behind after camping. We don't stock paper plates or disposable chopsticks; we lend washable tableware instead, and when you return we explain how to sort your rubbish according to the town's rules. Broken gear is not thrown away; we repair it and keep using it.
From the place
Because we stock nothing disposable, so that you can enjoy camping with only gear that can be washed and used again.
What they care about
Pitch it once in the garden first
If you are new to camping, we spend 30 minutes in the garden behind the shop showing you how to pitch the tent and use the stove.
Nothing disposable
Instead of paper plates and disposable chopsticks, our sets include washable tableware and pots.
Repaired and kept in use
Torn tents and wobbly chairs are repaired at the shop and put back into use. Some gear shows signs of repair, but we have checked that it works well.
