DU齿轮车库

The Center for a Regenerative Future

The DU齿轮车库 advances the equity of outdoor recreation by offering a way for DU community members to venture out into the Rocky Mountains without having to buy expensive 和 bulky gear on their own. We offer free rentals for any student at DU, along with resources 和 information about the best hiking 和 backpacking trails near campus, Leave No Trace 和 safety in the wilderness. 

The Gear Garage is now open for the Fall 2023 quarter! Follow in the instructions below to book your gear rental.

如何使用齿轮车库

  1. 提前计划. Our inventory is almost completely booked every weekend, so we are unable to accommodate day-of rentals or last-minute additions. We’d love to help outfit you for your trip, so please make sure that you have made your reservation in time for us to fulfill it.

  2. 在线预订您的装备. All reservations need to be received by Wednesday at 4pm. 请访问我们的网站 www.tinyurl.com/dugear (log in using your DU email 和 password) 和 let us know what you need to make your weekend trip perfect.

  3. 收拾你的装备. 去拿你的装备, please make an appointment using the link below. You will need to make two appointments, one for picking up your gear, 和 one for dropping gear off. 去拿你的装备, head to the DU自行车店 (basement of Nagel, accessed down the ramp on the west side). You can only make an equipment pick-up 和 drop-off appointment during Bike Shop open hours. http://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/DUGearGarageRental@skygame168.net/bookings/

  4. Take only Photos, Leave only Footprints. We hope you have the best time while you’re out enjoying the amazing wilds of the Rocky Mountains. Remember to be a responsible backpacker, hiker or snow-shoer: pack out whatever you packed in, 不要骚扰野生动物, don’t pick wildflowers 和 generally treat the l和 with respect so that others can enjoy it like you got to.

  5. 清洁你的装备. If it rained, please let your gear dry out before you pack it up 和 give it back. If you got it muddy or nasty, please try to clean it the best you can before returning it. If you cooked food in one of our pots, please wash the food out before returning it. Like the mountains, more people can use our gear if treated with respect.

  6. 归还你的东西. Like with picking up gear, you will need to make an appointment to drop-off your gear. Gear is expected back within TWO business days of your reservation. That means, if your reservation ends on a Saturday, it is due on Monday. If your reservation ends on Monday, the gear is due back by Wednesday. You will be charged a $5 late fee per day if your reservation extends past this date (unless otherwise discussed with Gear Garage staff). Again, please make your return appointments using the link below.
