A few years ago we were in the market for a robust hard case. We looked at all the typical options but came across Condition 1 and found what we were looking for. We ended up with the 55" Long Case and it has absolutely done the job we needed it to do. It holds what we need, was easy to customize the internal foam, has wheels and multiple handles. What more could we want? Continue reading

Go Wild Camo

Go Wild Camo was born from a desire to do better. To create something better than what existed at the time. While hunting Elk in western Montana, well above the snow-line, I realized that most of the modern camouflage clothing companies didn’t live up to their claims.

Mountain Ridge Gear

Mountain Ridge Gear describes its backstory as: … a classic case of hobby-turned-small business born inside a fabric store. That’s our favorite type of company! After 24 years in the military, founder Eric Lynn had gained an affinity for rugged and functional gear. He aslso realized that most of the gear made for hunting or tack just didn’t meet the standards he thought it should. Seams not as resiliant as they should be, materials that were just not as durable as they needed to be. Continue reading
