Yep, another year has gone by. I started Arrowhead Equipment on August 10th 2 years ago offering a simple pillow based on one I made for myself that I felt improved the comfort of the hammock for me. In the first few hours of offering them we sold a dozen and had a request for a bigger version as well...the Bear Pillow was born.
What started as a leap into the unknown is now turning 2....awww all grown up with multiple variations on our ever growing range of backpacking, hammock, fishing and just general camping gear.
In the first few months we added the BBO, KAQ, the first hammock shop to offer whoopie slings, the exclusive home to Bushman Stoves, one of the only retailers of the Dixon Roller Pack. More recently we added FlameThrowers to the hammock vernacular, and have begun to introduce more of the hammock community to the art of Tenkara.
WOW! what a ride the last 2 years have been. I can not begin to describe how blessed we have felt over that time. From being gifted design ideas, to help and friendship from all around the world, it has truly been amazing to experience this community from every angle. I have been lucky enough to get to hang with some of you this year, each time being truly memorable. Thanks to you each for sharing that time in the woods with me. I look forward to a chance to hang with more folks as time passes. I have gotten to chat with many of you on the phone, be it across a state line or an international one, thanks for listening to my ramblings...I hope to yack your ears off once again.
I look forward to the years that come serving the members here and thank each of you.
Enough with the sentiments, lets get on to why we are here...To celebrate the big 2.0
Kicking us off this year I have put together a couple of suspension kits that should get anyone wanting to convert to a new system salivating.
Kit one is a full whoopie sling kit ready for you to get practicing your Marlin Spike Hitch craft. The KNOT, NOT the toggle. This kit includes a set of 6.5 foot straps with a loop on one end (ready for you to lasso the tree or rig with your favorite Dutch doodad or carabiner), a pair of aluminum toggles and a set of black whoopie slings. The KNOT, NOT the toggle!
Second we are in the last few days of production on a new batch of Cinch Buckles! The buckles should be shipping to us sometime in the next couple of weeks, so we have put together a new buckle kit that includes 2--15 foot webbing suspension straps with a loop on one end that will be paired with a set of the fresh-out-of-the-press buckles with a built in Chain Link(another AHE invention....thanks to some pondering from the wise gringo of OK.)
Then we are putting the newest of the KAQ family of quilts up at the best price of the year. The Jarbridge River UQ will be available in Woodland Camo with Coyote Brown for the amazing, jaw dropping, "is he crazy" price of $80.00 That is the lowest you will ever see it and the same goes for all the other special anniversary sale items. Like most of the other KAQ line the Jarbridge is fully reversible so you can hang it with either side out and not be wrong.
We also have a limited edition batch of Cub Pillows made up in Momentum 90. OOOO so soft and plush the M90 cubs are SWEET. Nope, not a major saving of weight but a so much more cush feel to the M90 fabric over standard ripstop. One of these is already in my gear pile to replace the original grandfather Cub.
EDIT: Some other sweet gear that is not hammock pre-say but is always tucked in my pack right next to my hammock...go to the sale page and check them out.
The sale items are all listed at the bottom of the last page of the store or can be sorted using the "anniversary sale" sort button at the top center of each page of the store. Some items like the Jarbridge are also still available in all our normal fabric colors at regular price in the store also so shop carefully if you are looking just for the sale versions.
The sale will be running for the next 10 days and starts righhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht
NOW!
