Title: Does anyone use Share Shed?
Post by: mko72 on June 22, 2015, 06:47:30 PM

I'm heading to the interior and would love to rent a float since I don't need one enough to justify float/waders/flippers cost so I was hoping to luck out on Share Shed.

Just wondering if anyone has used it and had good results. I'd like try a paddle board like this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPdMLYBmIZM

I take it that means no one has tried it?

Didn't even know it existed; I may rent some of my stuff on there. But have never used it.

It's the way of the decentralized economy tho - airbnb, uber, etc.

Nice! I'm going to put my surfboard on it since I barely used it.

The whole "sharing economy" is great.  I used AirBNB to go to Holland last year. Way cheaper than hotels and I met a bunch of local Dutch people and most of them want to make you dinner and hang out. 

I'd be careful though to stick with my inexpensive stuff. I wouldn't put my mountain bike on it, but my surfboard is old.  I might be willing to put my snowboard on there....

For fishing gear: Float tube, waders, fins, you're looking at like $500-$1000 depending on quality. Hard to justify unless you use it a lot.

Same with fishing from a kayak, a canoe or a paddle board. 

It makes other methods of fishing more accessible so I'm hoping it grows.
