Pffft. I bought 3lb backpacker 2-man tents on sale for $200. Used them carefully, they lasted for 25+ trips.<p>Oh! I see - yes those tents were fragile and high-tech and would have probably lasted less long in general use. So that&#x27;s part of the problem - rental to the public is hard on equipment. Again, its hard to see a startup model here that would work.
