Can't express enough how grateful and happy I am with Derek and Adventures by True North! I rented bear spray and chest strap, a cooler, and camping chairs for an Ultra Marathon Trail Race and he went above and beyond in every way possible. It wasn't much equipment to rent but how kind and knowledgeable he was made me want to come back to go on a guided Northern Lights adventure with them in the future. Truly one of the kindest people I've ever met.
