ORGT Backpacking maintains a sizeable inventory of quality backpacking gear for rental by qualified backcountry travelers...

What do we rent?

ORGT has a selection of:

• Synthetic sleeping bags rated between 55°F and 0°F
• Sleeping pads
• Internal frame backpacks with volumes for weekends or weeks
• 3 and 4 season 1, 2 & 3 person backpacking tents
• Liquid and Isobutane fuel backpacking stoves

ORGT Backpacking gear comes from high quality makers, including The North Face, Gregory, Mountainsmith, MSR, Sierra Designs, REI and others.

Is ORGT gear the same as Wilderness Outpost gear?

Wilderness Outpost (WOP), though in the same building as ORGT, operates out of a different inventory of gear. WOP gear is available to the entire student body and doesn't require becoming a qualified renter. WOP also carries gear for other sports, including quietwater canoes and rafts.

What other resources does ORGT Backpacking have?

ORGT also carries a number of supplies to make planning a trip into the backcountry easier. ORGT has dozens of guidebooks for areas within a few hours of Atlanta, as well as hundreds of USGS and other topographic maps. Stop by and check them out!
