Summer FAQs

>>How does bear spray rental work?

We scale the weight of each rental bear spray once it is returned to us to make sure it is used or unused (the weight of each bear spray before renting out is labeled at the bottom of each spray). If it is used, we will charge the difference between the rental fee that you paid and the retail cost of bear spray (CAD 50).

We don’t rent camping cutlery for hygienic reasons, however, we do have camping cutlery for purchase. Rental cookware and utensils are included in Camping All-Inclusive package.

Winter FAQs

>>Is winter clothing rental package good for extreme cold weather?

Yes it is. Our winter clothing rental package comes with everything you need for the Yukon's winter activities such as Northern Lights viewing, dog sledding, snowmobiling, icefishing etc. basically under any weather in the Yukon.
Our rental down jackets and down pants are equipped with features required for the extreme environments of arctic weather with 800 fill power EX down. For rental boots, we use the one from Sorel (or similar model) that have equipped with Omni-heat reflective lining and vulcanized rubber shell. Feature: Fully waterproof, rated at -40° Fahrenheit / -40° Celsius.
We still recommend that you bring layers of clothing (fleece jacket, sweatpants or tights, liner gloves, and warm socks etc) that you can wear under the rental clothes - layering is the key to keep you warm!
