Need gear?
As a benefit of being a current member of Minnesota Rovers Outdoors Club, you are eligible to borrow equipment from the equipment locker to use and enjoy while participating on a posted Rovers trip. This is a great way for members to try various equipment for new activities without having to make a huge investment in equipment right away. There is an extensive inventory of items available for you to use.
Our Equipment Director and Assistant volunteer their time keeping equipment organized and ready for use. Please be respectful of the club, the equipment, and the Equipment Director and Assistant, by following the rules outlined in the Equipment Check Out Policy.
Check out and return of equipment
Arrange pick-up and return of equipment with the Equipment Director or Assistant with as much advanced notice as possible. Equipment is available on a first-come-first-serve basis for posted Rover trips. Please email [email protected] your request to reserve equipment as soon as possible AFTER signing up for a trip. Include the trip name and dates, and your membership ID number with expiration date.
The equipment director currently is Bruce M. and the equipment assistant is David B.
