We are three friends that grew up together in the same neighborhood. After highschool we all went on different professional paths, but always kept in touch in some way. In 2017 we planned a trip to Norway and discovered a shared desire to get outdoors more. This is when we made the pact to do a multiday hike together every year. Getting back to basics, enjoy nature's challenge, slow down, enjoy the company and get a good game of cards in.

 

As for most hikers, preparing and talking about the trips is half the fun. Through a couple of years we experimented with a couple of gear setups (there are so many options in the market). However, we discovered that there are only a few small brands that are located in Europe when it comes to sustainable, lightweight and good looking gear. 

 

This discovery combined with dreams of entrepreneurship got us started down a new trail, starting our own venture - Herder Gear
