Outdoor Essentials was born from a thrilling adventure. The founders, who were die-hard hikers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts, had set out on a treacherous hike in the backcountry. They were ill-equipped with gear that couldn't handle harsh conditions and that's when they realized that the market was lacking gear that was truly built to withstand the demands of nature. They were determined to change that, and thus Outdoor Essentials was born.
