Our commitment to sustainability.
Our goal is to reduce waste!
​
We do this by
-
repairing our camping gear so it can be used as many times as possible while still delivering the same high quality you expect
-
repairing and donating camping gear to the local homeless shelter
-
properly recycling empty fuel canisters
-
donating leftover food and lost and found items to local non-profit organizations
​
Here are some ways you can help Basecamp Outdoor Gear to make a difference:
RENT A COOLER instead of buying a styrofoam cooler and then tossing it at the end of your trip
RENT REUSABLE EATING UTENSILS instead of buying disposable dishes and then tossing them after each meal
USE WILDERNESS CAMP SOAP instead of buying regular harsh household dish soap
BRING EXTRA TOWELS FROM HOME instead of using paper towels
DONATE LEFTOVERS and RECYCLE EMPTY CONTAINERS appropriately (see below)
Add to our Pay-It-Forward Shelf.
When you come into our shop, look through our pay-it-forward shelf of non-perishable food items and other gear left by your fellow campers. Feel free to grab whatever you want for your trip. Restock our shelf with whatever unopened containers you have leftover.
​
Some common items include:
-
Sunscreen and bug repellant
-
Ziploc bags and trash bags
-
Toilet paper and napkins
-
Fire starters, lighter fluid, half-full fuel canisters
-
Miscellaneous spices
