THE STORY
Etowah Outfitters came into existence 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, grabbing 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 ground 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 gadgets to make my time more pleasurable, and forgotten
that there was a price, more weight.
The focus of our small company has always been to make simple gear
as light as durability will allow with maximum functionality 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 privilege of providing simple gear for the last 14
years, and we look forward to providing goods for many, many, more.
