Gear that gets handed down, not thrown out
Six things we actually use. Cast iron from Tennessee, merino from New Zealand, canvas waxed the old way — and coffee roasted for a camp stove.
Everything we sell
Six items, no seasonal range, no restock anxiety. Free shipping over $75.
Cast-iron camp skillet, 10"
$58.00 USDPre-seasoned, made in Tennessee, and heavy enough to outlive whoever you leave it to.
Merino base layer, crew
$84.00 USD190 gsm New Zealand merino. Warm wet, unbothered by four days on a trail.
Enamel mug, set of two
$32.00 USDSpeckled steel with a rolled rim that will not take your lip off at altitude.
Waxed canvas rucksack, 28 L
$148.00 USDBridle leather straps, brass hardware, and a waxed shell that shrugs off a downpour.
Trail blend coffee, 12 oz
$19.00 USDRoasted for a camp stove, not a barista. Chocolate, dried cherry, forgiving of bad technique.
Wool camp blanket
$126.00 USDRecycled wool, whipped edges, and about the right size for two people and a fire.
Why the range is this small
We use all of it
Nothing goes on the shelf until it has been through a season with us. That is slow, and it is why there are six things and not sixty.
Repair before replace
Send anything back and we will fix it if it can be fixed. Waxed canvas can be re-waxed; a skillet can always be re-seasoned.
Made where we say
Tennessee, New Zealand, North Carolina. Each product page names the maker, because a country of origin on its own tells you nothing.
What buyers say
The rucksack has been to Patagonia and back twice. It looks better now than the day it arrived.
Ordered the skillet on a Thursday, cooked on it Saturday. Packed properly, no plastic anywhere in the box.
I emailed about re-waxing a three-year-old bag expecting to be sold a new one. They sent me a tin of wax and instructions.
