A decade ago, we started with an idea. We took that idea into the garage, literally. Eventually, we forged that idea into the Mount Pickett, our first version of a patented swing-arm backpack. Today, the Twin Lakes model is turning heads and bringing our breakthrough idea to anglers, photographers, hikers, bird nerds, first responders, and many other outdoor enthusiasts. The next decade looks even better, with new ideas and innovations to enhance outdoor activities. Join us in celebrating. Say hello on our page, visit our website for a discount, or tell a friend. Thank you for being a part of 10 great years!
