4. When reserving more than two Bearikades and you want to avoid the “continue shopping loop”, then multiply days on the trail by the number of Bearikades and enter this in Quantity. Do this separately for Weekender and Expedition canisters.
I am a Boy Scouts of America troop leader. Do you offer a discount?
Yes, if you e-mail: rentals@wild-ideas.net or fax an image showing your affiliation: Troop Number, location and your name on an official letterhead or other business form. We will assign a unique discount code for your specific trip.
I am going on a long, through hike. Are there special rates?
Yes, we offer a 45% discount per Bearikade canister for through hikes of the following trails: John Muir Trail, Pacific Crest Trail and the Appalachian Trail. Send an e-mail to rentals@wild-ideas.net and we will assign a discount code for your trip.
Do you charge for elapsed shipping time?
No, we charge for actual time on the trail. We appreciate your prompt return of the Bearikade so that we can meet the schedule for other hikers.
Will I be charged for a tardy return?
Wild Ideas, LLC allows up to five transit days for the return. We are especially interested in the flow of Bearikades during the months of July and August during peak season. Special circumstances could eliminate late charges, but ordinarily a daily rate will be applied after the five day limit.
Can I mail the Bearikade with shipping labels placed directly on the canister?
No, please use the same or equivalent packaging because shippers have difficulty handling rolling stock. In addition, cleaning the adhesives from the Bearikade delays its return to service.
Can I request delivery to an address other than my home?
Yes, you can indicate a drop ship address with some exceptions. We do not ship to hostels in general because packages have no chain of ownership. Hotels, General Delivery Postal Service, street addresses are acceptable.
