We burrowed in close, hugging an aluminum cup of wine, watching the sun tuck in for the night behind the amazing towers and spires in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. There we were, four girls and nothing but stars over our heads for four days. We spent countless hours talking through life and gear and inevitably the conversation turned:

“Wouldn’t it be cool if we had..?”

We’ve all been there. Hiking along and stumbling upon some amazing idea (or fictitious hope) for some product, some design, some something that we’d love to have in the backcountry. Funny thing is, so many of the world’s greatest ideas have come about through this simple process of dreaming. Today we are introducing you to an amazing new company whose mission is to introduce us to those wildly inventive types, those people who dreamt up amazing gear and are now making it a reality.
