“ Thank you guys so much for such a quality product. I’ll never be the strongest guy in the room, but because of you all of my gear and this buck came out in one trip. There will never be a hunting camp where I won’t be pressuring my buddies to order one of your packs. 10/10 pack and 11/10 memory”

Congrats on the buck and thank you for the awesome message!

It’s not about just building gear.
It’s about creating tools that make every hunt better. Gear that helps you go further, hunt harder, and stay connected to the wild places that shape us.

Two Idaho brands, one mission: Build gear you can trust when it matters most.

We love hearing this! 🔥 READ BELOW ⬇️

“ I love your pack!! I didn’t get to get any photos of the meat I packed out but this pack is amazing! I helped my buddy haul out his cow elk he shot and then on our pack out I ran into this bull I ended up shooting. So the next day I did two front shoulders on one trip and then a hind the next and then came back and did a light load of the head. My recovery after all that was only like a day!! My hip flexors weren’t destroyed!! Love it! You guys have built an amazing product!! “
