THE STORY Etowah Outfitters came into existance in 1991 when as a addicted backpacker, I came to the conclusion, my pack was way too heavy. I longed for the days when as a teenager my pack never seemed to weigh more than 30lbs., not even on week long hikes. After looking at an old pack list, I realized the problem; more gear ,more toys, and more weight. The backpack had turned into a three bedroom condo. I remembered how simple it was, grabing the pack, sleeping bag and pad, the small pot, with fork and spoon, water bottle(actually a canteen), food, change of clothes, poncho, and a tarp with gound cloth to start a new adventure. Off, I would go! What happened? How did backpacking get so complicated? For me, it was simple, I was taking a bit too much of home with me. I had gotten use to items and gadets to make my time more pleasurable, and forgoten that there was a price, more weight. The focus of our small company has always been to make simple gear as light as durablity will allow with maximum functionalbility for the outdoors. This is our passion. Things has changed and will continue to change in the outdoor industry, but one principle still holds true, simply made gear will always be the pieces that will never let you down, break, or shred in a time of need. Thank you for the priviledge of providing simple gear for the last 14 years, and we look forward to provding goods for many, many, more. "Chef Paul"Fitzner
