Are you the type of individusal that likes to get outdoors and do some camping? What is your sleeping bag setup?

Your sleeping bag is arguably the most important piece of gear you have with you, so perhaps you should be using one made in American by Wiggys!

Personally we lean towards the rectangular sleeping bags just due to liking a bit of space to move around. But maybe you’d prefer mummy style bag instead?

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.

American Made outdoor gear. We love the stuff!

Our latest addition to the list of companies creating American Made backcountry gear is Hill People Gear.

Our products don’t happen by accident, and they’re not born in a design studio. They’re built on years of backcountry, engineering, and quality assurance experience. Inspiration usually comes on the trail and multiple iterations are mentally tested and discarded to the beat of hiking boots before pattern making even starts.

It all begins with an idea. The idea that great gear can and should be designed, sourced, and sewn exclusively on American soil.

We are currently in September, a very active time of year for archery hunters across the United States. Whether you are chasing big game out west or perhaps staying a bit closer to home, you are going to want precision broadheads for your arrows.

Iron Will Outfitters provides just that.

We learned of Iron Will Outfitters while listening to a recent MeatEater Podcast featuring Iron Will co-founder Bill Vanderheyden. His knowledge and ability to explain the reasons behind the Iron Will broadheads led us to investigate a bit more.
