With a myriad of items available for outdoorists these days, making informed purchases can be an overwhelming. That’s why we focus on sharing the most innovative and interesting companies in the outdoors industry today. These companies not only make your time in the wilderness safe and worry-free, they are all run by folks who know a heck of a lot about spending time in the field.

Time in the Wild is Better with These Companies

Without these four companies, spending time outside wouldn’t quite be the same.

1. Grand Trunk’s Mosquito-Net Hammocks

Known for making some of the most durable, lightweight hammocks on the market, Grand Trunk was formed with one idea in mind; to get outdoor-lovers to re-think their recreation habits. After slipping into one of these easily-packable nylon wonders, you too may just consider spending the night amongst the trees. 

Must-have product: If bugs (particularly mosquitoes) are a concern, opt for Grand Trunk’s brilliantly-designed Skeeter Beeter Pro Hammock.
