Ask HN: A collaborative consumption experiment
This is a preliminary test to gauge interest for my startup idea. Would you pay a monthly subscription to get unlimited access to most of your outdoor adventure equipment. I propose a city by city gear pool where members get unlimited access to gear (tents, stoves, kayaks, GPS, Sat Phones, bikes etc...).
Membership fee would include insurance, delivery and pickup.
Are there any outdoorsy types out there that would use such a service?
In essence it would eliminate the need to buy those expensive one-off's that you only use every so often. Eliminate wasted time and money by sharing outdoor gear between members.
Doing some calculations, it would be roughly $50/month membership fee.
Any thoughts or feedback would be much appreciated.
