Xscape Pod launches in Portland

Xscape Pod, the brainchild of Portland outdoor enthusiast Nic Parrish, has launched its online camping equipment rental and delivery service to make the outdoors more accessible for everyone.

With camping often turning out to be an expensive and time-consuming activity, Xscape Pod offers pre-packed camping ‘pods’ that contain everything an outdoor adventurer needs. With pods available for rent and delivery, collection and cleaning all included in the rental charge. This new service allows campers to cut back on the planning time and spend more time in the great outdoors.

Xscape Pod’s Nic Parrish confirmed:

“Clients can pick and choose which pod they want to rent on our website. They vary according to how many of you there are, whether you’re driving or hiking, and how long you plan to go for. But you’ll find everything you could possibly need in there, from sleeping bags and tents to cooking equipment and headlamps. It’s super high quality equipment that we’ve personally tested to make sure we didn’t overlook anything.”

Xscape Pod hopes to attract both casual custom from tourists and festival goers, as well as repeat business from Portlanders who enjoy the ease and simplicity of having their camping equipment prepared and packed in advance. The website just relaunched with a more user-friendly booking interface. There are plans for future collaborations with compatible local businesses.
