I am writing this review, mostly because of the 'one star' review I saw when I looked these guys up online. I have had four (or so?) things repaired by RER, things ranging from and older Macpac sleeping bag, the tub of a tent, and other similar things. They have given a longer life to older backpacking gear. I would recommend them to anyone, both in terms of the quality of work and their communication. I dealt with Pam there, who was helpful. I just do not believe the other reviewer.

Handy tips

How to choose camping gear for your trip?

Before you head out to explore camping gear near you for your upcoming trip, you need to think about what you are going to pack. Here are a few tips that can help you:

Consider which type of camper you are. If this is your first experience, you may want to stick with the essentials, such as a tent, water purifying and cooking equipment. Otherwise, you may want to additionally bring along your hiking gear if you intend to go hiking.
Make a list of essential gear a few weeks before your outing and keep adding to it. The idea is to start a planning process after which the list will need to be narrowed down and made realistic.
Finalise your list closer to the time of travel according to your camping style. For example, you can pack in extra games if you have got a base camp. However, if you are hiking from camp to camp, keep the weight of your items in mind.

Armed with your list of the required camping gear, you’ll find yourself ready to visit a camping store near you. View our online listings to shop for cheap camping gear today!
