MINNESOTA ROVERS CLUB EQUIPMENT CAGE
Need gear? You can get started with suitable outdoor clothing and footwear, along with an appetite for adventure. Rovers’ extensive equipment inventory includes sleeping bags, tents, canoes, stoves, backpacks, bicycle panniers, climbing ropes, and hundreds of other items. Most may be used free by club members for club outings.
Items can be checked out of the “cage” Tuesday evenings after the meeting, and must be returned the Tuesday after the trip unless otherwise arranged with the Cage Coordinator. Please read the Cage Equipment Check Out Policy prior to requesting equipment.
The cage coordinator currently is Tom Suter 651-484-8606 or you can contact Frank Taft at 763-784-5901 if Tom S. is unavailable. For paddling equipment, please contact Rob Chase at 651-230-2277 (m) or 651-340-7599 (h).
