I only got a bearspray there. It's well organized with a good website. That made it easy to book and pick up. The prices could be slightly better but well, it's not like they have any competition and its cheaper than buying something. It also came with a little holster which I really liked.

Great experience renting bear spray for my time in the Yukon.  Convenient location Downtown Whitehorse, easy pick up and drop box for after-hours return.

They were helpful. It was easy to rent bear spray and to return. Less waste than if you buy it.

How handy! We expected to purchase bear spray from a store or risk hiking without it but this was easy, convenient, cheap and the folks were so nice.

I rented bear spray from The Base while staying in Whitehorse. The whole process was very well organized for obtaining the bear spray from a locker and returning it outside of store hours.

We rented a bunch of equipment for our camping trip in Tombstone Territorial Park. The items were clean, the store was responsive and communicative to our questions, and they accommodated our  rental return time given our tight turnaround return flight. Much appreciated! We will definitely rent from this store when we come back to the Yukon!

Bear spray cannisters were in the pick-up locker on our pick-up day.  We could drop them off at the end of our stay, into a locker.  This is a great way to ensure that you have bear spray cannisters for your hike.  All emails with The Base were promptly replied.
