    Missing OG vendors

    I haven't been active here for several years but getting back into it and sorry to see some of the the original vendors out of business. I have so many whoopieslings.com products stashed around my house along with Wilderness Logics gear. It makes me nostalgic for the good old days when all this was new...

    Vendors come and vendors go. There are still some like Warbonnet that were in business before I started in 2010 and are still in business.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    Jacks R Better is still going strong since 2004. The original Jacks retired back in 2018. After over a decade of hiking with them and being their lead product tester, they offered me the opportunity to continue the business.

    We still keep the same high standards, maintain quilts in stock for same or next day shipping, and everything is still proudly made in the USA.

    I had no idea they had handed it off, but that's good to hear. My first quilt was a home lounger they sold me for cheap.

    Warbonnet just go to show you that when you make a well designed high quality product that works well and provide good service it's not hard to be successful.
