This review is long overdue. I located this company based on an ad in Alloy & Grit magazine…read more Essentially, Off The Grid Rentals has a few locations but they are done in partnership with independent shops, in this case Spirit Off-Road. (I'll do a separate review for them too.) I rented one of their rear-drop camping trailers for a trip to Zion with my son for his birthday. The staff at Spirit Off-Road was incomparable in their friendliness, willingness to help, and how accommodating they were in helping my son and I secure a rental. They were even willing to drag the trailer out just so we could have a look at it. The trailer has a list of available amenities to make tour stay comfortable. A complete kitchenette with a stove, sink, and available refrigerator. 30 gallons of non-heated water. A locking cargo cage (perfect for firewood). It has a stereo, USB chargers, and lighting all powered by a solar rechargeable battery system. The interior was plenty comfortable for both my son and I. (He's 8 years old and not too big and I'm 6'1" / 190). The interior is well lit and warm. The small shelving and cabinets inside make for great storage of items. The tires & wheels are more than off-road capable. The trailer is high grade construction and extremely durable and sturdy. This is not some cheaply made gimmick trailer. The little tear drop is a real conversation starter and we had at least half a dozen people approach us about the rental. Things to consider or some "now I know for next time's": Disconnect the trailer from your tow vehicle as the electrical system will draw off the battery overnight. The kitchen is kind of tall so if you're a shorty then a step ladder may be a good plan. We had a good rain so our cage of firewood needed to dry. We should've laid a tarp over it once we arrived or just bought bagged wood. The ARB refrigerator was reasonably effective. Don't use the small void outside the basket though. Even though it seems handy it failed to keep our meat cold there and it all went bad. All the food in the basket mesh area was good though. We will absolutely rent here again. It was a wonderful trip and the trailer contributed considerably to our comfort and overall enjoyment.

It was beyond handy to be able to roll up to a campsite, spend 5 minutes unhooking & setting up, taking the car into town, and returning back to a comfy bed ready to go, and great kitchen setup for cooking. Taking off in the morning was equally easy. My partner is pretty tall (6'4"), and he fit comfortably in the trailer. The sturdy wheel wells were handy for putting out shoes or drying dishes. The wide and tall tires kept the drive smooth. The kitchen was very functional, and made easier when standing on the stool, since it's pretty tall. Appreciated the pass-through and lighting. We didn't do much off-roading, but did need to park up some rocky roads around Big Sur, and the trailer handled it like a champ. We only used the sink a couple of times, but it worked well. We had some problems with the fridge, but the team was very responsive and resolved our issues as much as they could. We'll definitely want to use Off The Grid again (if we don't end up buying our own dream trailer like this one). Thanks!

We booked a weekend morning tour, and it ended up being one of the most unexpectedly fun things I've done in the city. I was a little nervous at first since I'm not super experienced with kayaking, but the guides were patient and gave clear instructions before we got on the water. Once we started, it felt calm and surprisingly peaceful. We even spotted birds and fish along the way, which I definitely didn't expect in Los Angeles. The whole experience felt safe, well-organized, and relaxed. It's such a cool way to see a different side of the city. I'd absolutely do it again.

If you look that up or really want to raft, take a drive up to Northern California for some excitement- you are able to do Class III, Class IV, or Class V, including an overnight rafting trip. It's not exactly like "A River Wild," but it can be if you're not experienced. I grew up river rafting with my Daddy all the time and have been on more than 300 trips in my lifetime. It's one of my favorite activities, but it's boring and lame in SoCal.

I have thought long and hard about posting this review. I truly am a huge supporter of any local…read morebusiness, but the end result was too disappointing. I have to leave this review. I try to support small local businesses whenever I can, especially ones in my own neighborhood. In early January I stopped into Addax Tactical while I was out riding my e-bike with my dog. The staff were friendly, they were cool about my dog being there, and they even let me bring my bike inside. My first impression was positive. A little later I went back to order a rifle. I wanted a Henry Big Boy .357 Lever Action Rifle. They didn't have it in stock, and I was told it would take about two to three weeks to arrive because the SHOT Show convention was coming up. While doing the paperwork, I also decided to purchase a Ruger 10/22 so I could complete both purchases with a single background check. I left a deposit of about $1,200 toward roughly $2,000 total for the two rifles. Both rifles are very standard models that most gun stores typically have available or can obtain quickly. I could have easily purchased them elsewhere, but I made a deliberate choice to support a smaller shop in my neighborhood and was willing to wait the extra couple of weeks. Based on the timeline I was given, I expected the rifles to arrive by late January and to have them in my possession by mid-February after the required 10-day waiting period. That didn't happen. After three weeks I called to check on the order. Nothing had arrived yet. I waited another week and called again. Still nothing. The responses were always very casual, with little explanation other than that the rifles had been ordered. Around six weeks into the process, I was told the Ruger had arrived but they hadn't called because they assumed I wanted to pick up both rifles at the same time. I went in immediately and started the paperwork to take possession of the Ruger. During that visit I learned something that had never been mentioned before: the Henry rifle had not actually shipped yet, and the shop generally places firearm orders in batches rather than ordering individual rifles. This was the first time I had heard that, even though the original estimate had been two to three weeks. At that point I agreed to upgrade to the octagonal-barrel version of the Henry since I had always wanted that model anyway, and I was told the change would not affect the delivery timeline. After the 10-day waiting period I picked up the Ruger and again asked about the Henry. The answer was still that it had not arrived yet. By this point we were about eight weeks into the process, with no clear timeline. About a week later I called again and received the same answer. At that point I decided to cancel the Henry order and request a refund. I was told the refund would come from accounting and that I should expect a check in two to three weeks. After two weeks I called again and was told it could take up to 30 days. I eventually went to the shop in person to check on the refund. This time I was told I could not bring my bike or dog inside, even though I had been there several times before with both and it had never been an issue. Eventually I received a call saying the refund check had arrived. For the sake of transparency, I'm writing this from memory without the receipts directly in front of me, so the dollar amounts may be off by a few dollars either way, but the numbers below are very close to what was paid and refunded. When I picked up the check, the amount returned was about $370 out of the roughly $1,200 deposit I had paid. That means that after roughly 12 weeks, the final outcome of this transaction is that I effectively ended up with a $830 Ruger 10/22 -- a rifle that typically sells for a few hundred dollars at most gun shops. Even assuming some type of restocking fee, it's difficult to understand how that result makes sense, particularly for a rifle that, according to the shop, had not even shipped yet when I cancelled the order. I went into this purchase specifically because I wanted to support a small neighborhood business like Addax Tactical and was willing to wait longer than usual to do so. Unfortunately, after the delays, the lack of clear communication about how orders were handled, and the final refund outcome, the entire experience ended up being extremely frustrating. If you're considering ordering a firearm here, my advice would simply be to make sure you clearly understand the ordering process, timeline expectations, and refund policies before leaving a deposit. Posting this simply to document my experience so other customers know what to expect when placing a special order here.

However, my most recent visit has been frustrating. I dropped off a handgun at the end of November for three services and was quoted 6-8 weeks max. I had planned to attend a training in late February, so based on that timeline I expected to have my handgun back by the end of January. We are now approaching 15 weeks, and my firearm is still not ready. Can't even reschedule my class as the staff has been unable to give me a date each time I've called. I didn't want to leave a negative review because my previous experiences here have been great, but this delay is honestly unreasonable. If I would have known the turn around time I would have skipped on services. A friend of mine dropped off his handgun at a different shop for the same services and had it back within a month. I am paying full price for 2 of the 3 services so I might as well have just taken it to the other shop.. I would still consider purchasing items from this store, but unfortunately I will most likely not be returning here for gunsmithing services.
