Everything You Need to Get Out: Milford’s Backpacker’s Package for Short Multi‑Day Trips.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
A complete kit, ready to carry
The package supplies the core load: a choice of Rook or Renn 65L backpack, Aurora 2P tent, sleeping bag (20° or 30°), sleeping pad (foam or self‑inflating), Leki trekking poles and a Petzl headlamp—so you can turn up to the trail with nothing to buy.
Stoves chosen for reliability
Stove options include lightweight canister and liquid‑fuel choices—Pocket Rocket or Whisperlite—so you can match fuel performance to conditions without transporting bulky kit.
Quality control, fittings and short tutorials
Every rental is quality‑checked and comes with custom fittings and an on‑hand tutorial so you leave confident with setup and operation of your kit.
What the day feels like
What it feels like to book the package
Booking the Backpacker's Package Deal means you arrive at the trailhead with a matched, inspected kit rather than a trunk full of gear. Choices of backpack model, stove type and sleeping‑bag temperature let you tailor the package to the season and your preferred comfort; technicians perform fittings and tutorials so the first night on the ground is about the stars, not how to pitch a tent.
