Condition 1
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. On our trek we gained 3,800 feet in just under 6 miles and the need to constantly change out layers for lack of performance slowed us down more than the terrain. Sweating one minute and cold the next while fighting a gale force wind, inspiration struck. Good isn’t good enough. My camo gear should work as hard as I do. Continue reading

Appalachian Cast Iron
Our cast iron pans see a lot of use. Everything from cooking a grilled cheese to reverse searing a great steak. One cast iron item we do not yet have is a waffle iron. However, now that we have found Appalachian Cast Iron we can correct that. A fascination with antique waffle irons led to the creation of Appalachian Cast Iron. For the past 30 years I have been fascinated by antique waffle irons and have collected many. After cooking with my very first one, I immediately reached into my cabinet, pulled out my electric waffle iron, and dropped it into the trash bin. It was only a few years old and already had damage to the non-stick coating and I knew the plastic legs weren’t going to last either. However, now I had a real, permanent, cast iron waffle maker, a 160 year old North, Hamilton and Chase. There was no turning back. Continue reading
Stetson
Stetson is synonymous with the American icon Cowboy Hat. Since its founding in 1865 by John B. Stetson, Stetson has been a global leader in headwear. The brand is so iconic that many folks simply refer to cowboy hats as ‘Stetsons.’ Quality and tradition are at the forefront of how Stetson produces hats: For over 150 years, Stetson has created quality products that are built to last and have deep roots in the American tradition. We have a strong appreciation for objects that are made well and products that get better with age. We still craft our products using much of the same techniques as John B. did so many years ago – with an eye towards meeting the needs of the future generations of frontiersmen, pioneers, industrialists and trailblazers.
