Show HN: Campistry – Camping on Demand

Is there room to carry personal gear/bags or is the entire cargo area filled with the supplied gear?

From a safety and security standpoint; you should probably add a true partition between the cab and cargo area. In an accident or abrupt stop the aluminum/zip-tie/mesh organizer isn't going to stop gear from coming into the cab and from the looks of it (https://i0.wp.com/campistry.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/I...) could probably collapse into the cab. If someone were to break in, they don't really require anything more than scissors or a knife to access the gear.

I am right up your alley as a customer. Here's where you lost me.

1. Coverage. Where are you located and what's your service area. (I did see it at the bottom in a small font, it's not enough) 2. Price and general conditions. Should be the front of your service. Just like the uhaul trucks. IMHO. 3. More pictures of the car/cars. Could it fit my family? Could it fit more equipment than what you initially put in it?

There's just not enough details on the landing page to get me interested enough to even drop an email.

This looks super interesting. I built out a spreadsheet of (very rough) projected financials for a business I was considering trying that was going to do something very similar; essentially gear rental for camping. I wasn't able to find a way to have it make sense as a solid business (margins were so tiny), but I still love this concept and would totally be a customer of a business that offered this. I'm moving to the Bay this month, maybe I'll give this a try! :D

love it. the local univ where I live rents out camping/outdoor gear, but only the outdoor crowd knows this. So many ppl choosing to blow $200 at the waterpark on summer weekend because they don't have the gear/know-how (where to go, reservations or first come spots) to go camping with the kids.

If it were as easy as renting a car from local Avis, more ppl would go, esp. here in Nor Cal where the weather is most always conducive to camping and so many opprtys.
