Other Equipment…

Hey guys –

One of the cool things about working in this industry is that you run into a lot of people who cross over their fly fishing with other sports, sometimes uncovering companies that you just don’t hear much about.

For instance, Mystery Ranch is a backpack company founded by the people who made Dana Designs back in the day.

Kifaru has some of the best rucks

Alot of what’s “new” or undiscovered are companies that get bought out and then re-launched.

Some my favorite backpacking (lightweight centric) manufacturers are listed below. Many of these are cottage industry shops. Essentially guys in garages making it happen on the fringe of ultralight backpacking.
