In 2003 I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and learned to take a minimalist approach to my hiking gear and life in general.
I could not find much gear sold commercially that shared my passion for stripping away anything that wasn't needed. So, I started making my own gear, such as hammocks, backpacks, quilts and clothes. I especially enjoyed making hardware for the hammock community and soon was the inventor and manufacturer of the Dutch Clip (a clip that connects webbing suspension around the tree).
Since then I have designed several titanium/ aluminum hardware items to make for easy attachment points on a hammock suspension, tarp, quilts & more.
