Thru-Hiker Resources

We are happy to give advice on maintenance and repair both on and off trail. We perform various repairs for hikers’ gear, or we will refer to a local seamstress for more complicated repairs.

These are a few issues we often encounter:

• Broken zipper on tents, sleeping bags and backpacks
• Backpack chest straps
• Patching small holes in sleeping pads, sleeping bags, etc….
• Hiking pole tip replacements
• Tent Pole shock-cord replacement
