KitUp Driving the sharing economy & sustainability in the outdoor industry with our peer-to-peer kit rental platform

KitUp seeks to contribute to the goal of achieving a more sustainable economy
by removing economic barriers which currently exclude people from accessing outdoor activities which require specialist equipment. At present, participation in sporting activities, particularly those which are outdoor and adventure-based, requires expensive equipment. The industry generally encourages 'upgrading' on a re

gular basis; promoting a culture which generates significant waste, in terms of the materials required for technical products and clothing. The excessive supply and consumption of this equipment is concerning because of the significant impact that manufacturing materials and processes have on the climate, and the social exclusion resulting from the high costs of procuring the equipment necessary to take part in the activities. The current cost of inclusion, for many sports, is inconsistent with the means of the majority. We intend to close this socially exclusive and environmentally damaging gap by facilitating a shift in culture towards a more sharing and considerate economy.

It's time to maximise visibility for your listings and get them noticed!

πŸ™‹ Profile - whether you are renting, buying or selling, there is nothing like knowing that you are speaking to another human! Add a profile photo and tell everyone a little bit about you. A warm and cuddly profile gets a lot more clicks!

πŸ“Έ Images - Airbnb spent years sending professional photographers round to new listings to take photos but we trust that you can do it! Spend a bit of time preparing your kit and make sure you capture the details we need. Always be sure to hit that 'auto-edit' button on your phone to really make them pop!

🚲 Item naming - Stick to this simple naming convention of Brand, Model, Size and you cannot go wrong. If anything else is needed don't worry, the KitUp team will always make sure that this is done to give you maximum exposure to other users.

🎿 Descriptions - Always think, what information would you want to see before agreeing to rent or buy an item? Whatever comes to mind, pop it in. For additional details, look at the manufacturer's website and add in the link, or the information itself.

The better the listing the more traction it will get and the easier it will be for us to market for you. AS an incentive, the best ones will regularly end up on the KitUp feed, in our newsletters and on our stories.

If you need any help, just reach out and we will do whatever we can.

Happy adventuring

Preserving nature's beauty for future adventures 🌲πŸ₯Ύ

As outdoor enthusiasts, it's our responsibility to minimise our impact on the incredible landscapes we explore. The Leave No Trace principles provide a simple yet powerful guide:

1️⃣ Plan ahead and prepare
2️⃣ Travel and camp on durable surfaces
3️⃣ Dispose of waste properly
4️⃣ Leave what you find
5️⃣ Minimize campfire impacts
6️⃣ Respect wildlife
7️⃣ Be considerate of other visitors

By following these ethics, we can protect our cherished trails, parks and wildernesses. Because the greatest adventure is experiencing nature's wonders unspoiled.

πŸŒ… Are you ready for Spring?!

As the evenings become a little lighter and hopefully a little sunnier, let's get back out on the water!

We want this to be an activity we can all enjoy so have built this amazing community of active explorers that rent to and from each other when they have a need for adventure.

Join KitUp today and maximise your opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

Whatever your camping needs, KitUp is here!

β›Ί From rooftop tents to 10 person bell tents we have your outdoor accommodation ready to go!

β›Ί Wake up to views like this by renting your camping equipment with KitUp Adventures!

πŸŒ… There is something particularly special about waking up to the sunrise coming over the top of a hill. You might not get this every day in the UK but when you do, its worth every second.

Camping is an easy way of getting away from our busy lives and resetting (we all need this occasionally). KitUp is here to make it easier by connecting you with everyone that has this stuff already. Don't be put off at the costs of buying everything - it's super easy to rent and far better for the planet too! 🌍

On average, campers use their tents twice a year and thousands are only used once before being thrown away or gathering dust. Contribute to a more circular economy by renting yours to others and by renting instead of buying.
