I would much rather give away than let things go on loan, too stressful when your cared for item comes back damaged - or not at all.
There are trusted exceptions of course

which reminds me - I wonder if the neighbours have finished with my stepladders

Still trying to get the packing right.

Never EVER lend a tent out. Not to family, friends, or even the pope.
I have never received a lent tent back in the same condition as when lent out.

I had an old canvas tent for nearly 20 years. It was in brilliant condition. Waterproof, great built in groundsheet. Top tent.

Lent it out for one week. Checked a few days after it was returned. Absolutely destroyed. It had been put away wet. Mould covered 100% of it. Crying shame.

Bought a lovely new Vango. Not the same though. It doent smell like a canvas tent!!!

Happy camping.
