…however tents can be, so we’re going to keep pushing on!
The first few months of this year have been a little tough and hectic, however I’m really keen to keep developing this little project. We’re looking into collaborating with other lending libraries, more info on that soon.
For now, I’m heading to a festival this weekend so while packing, I’ve finally got around to taking stock of all the items we currently have, so here’s a basic list for anyone who’s curious – we don’t just lend Eskies. This project is about making a wide range of outdoor items available for people who want to borrow them short term.
Below is what we have so far, please get in touch if you would like to find out more about borrowing:
- Two person tent x 1
- Pop up tents x 2
- Beach chairs x 2
- Folding armchair x 1
- Sleeping mats x 2
- Yoga mats x 2
- Coolboxes (aka eskies!) x 3
- Beach umbreallas x 2
- Camping lights (various sizes and battery types)
- Large backpack x 2
- Powerbank x 1
- Kitchen items (various, e.g. reusable cups, mugs and plates)
The next step for us is creating a webpage with photos and more info to enable people to book items, so we have started looking into MyTurn.com which seems ideal for this kind of project! Watch this space for updates on that.
And while I’m here, a little wishlist for future plans, in case the camping gods wish to bestow any of these upon us:
- Solar power charger
- Solar LED lights
- Reusable water containers
- Rechargable batteries & charger
