I found this web site and video the other day and thought it was a very reasonable (and good idea) for those who can’t afford to buy a ton of gear but want to get out into the backcountry for a few days. The company is Lower Gear.

We feature a few select, high quality tents by MSR, Marmot and Sierra Designs. All tents are shipped to you clean, with no smells, tears or holes, and are easy to setup. All tents are already seam-sealed, so if it rains, you will stay dry. These tents are much better quality than the cheapies you find a sporting goods store and at most rental outlets. If you have any questions about these items or any of the gear we rent, visit www.lowergear.com or give us a call (we get paid by the hour and love to chat) – 866-994-4537. See you on the trail!

I checked out their rental policies and gear, and they are all very fairly priced. So if you don’t want to buy a tent, backpack, and additional gear, rent it.
