A tourist finishes their trip and leaves a ski jacket behind. Another traveller picks it up when they arrive — days later, thousands of miles away. A Keeper holds it in between.
Three roles. One flow.
RE/cation works because three types of people each get something real out of it. Find your role — and register for early access.
You have space. Travellers are passing through. Become a Keeper — hold gear between the tourist who left it and the one who needs it next. Earn on every handover.
A hotel storage room, a sports shop, a garage. Tell us your capacity and opening hours — you set the terms. No minimum commitment.
A departing tourist drops gear with you. Check it in, photograph condition, confirm in the app. Two minutes of work per item.
The buyer arrives — from Canada, from Germany, from wherever. Verify identity in the app, complete the handover, sign off. Done.
RE/cation pays you automatically via Stripe for every successful handover you facilitate. The busier your destination, the more you earn.
Be a Keeper from day one

You're in Toronto. Your next trip is to the Alps. Browse gear at your destination before you leave home. Pay now, pick it up when you land — no overweight baggage, no gear stress.
Search gear where you're going — not where you are. Find a ski jacket in Tromsø from your sofa in Seattle, weeks before you fly.
Payment is held in escrow via Stripe until you've collected and approved the gear. Your money is safe until you're satisfied.
The gear waits at a local Keeper — a hotel, a shop — near your destination. Land, head over, verify and collect. Straight to the mountain.
No overweight fees. No gear anxiety. Sign off in the app once you're happy, and the seller gets paid.

Your trip is over. The jacket was perfect — but it's not coming home with you. List it before you leave. A Keeper holds it. The next traveller picks it up.
Still on your trip? List the gear in the app — a few photos, a fair price. Takes minutes. The listing goes live immediately.
Find a Keeper on your way to the airport — a hotel front desk, a local shop. Drop off the gear and fly home lighter.
Someone browsing from abroad finds your listing and buys before they arrive. The Keeper handles the handover on your behalf.
Once the buyer picks up and approves the gear, Stripe releases payment to you — wherever in the world you've landed.

The pitch
Every adventure destination in the world has the same problem: gear arriving on planes that should stay, and gear that should leave packed into luggage it doesn't fit. RE/cation is the infrastructure that fixes this — destination by destination, Keeper by Keeper.
Millions of travellers overpay for gear they'll use once, or abandon gear they can't fly home. RE/cation is the missing connection between them — anchored at the destination.
We're not a secondhand shop or a rental service. We're a marketplace where gear gets a second journey — bought, sold, and handed over locally, between travellers who never need to meet.
Hotels already receive parcels, store luggage, hand things to guests. RE/cation formalises that into a revenue stream — 8–10% per handover, zero inventory risk, powered by the app.
We started where gear culture and travel culture collide — Northern Norway. The model works anywhere people arrive to adventure and leave lighter than they came.
Partnerships
We're looking for hotels, sports shops, ski resorts, hostels and local businesses at travel destinations who want to host gear and earn per handover. Zero inventory risk. 8–10% per transaction. The app handles everything.
