Sunset breaking over a snow-dusted Wasatch ridgeline above the Salt Lake valley

Handmade in Eagle Mountain, Utah

Gear made for
open skies.

Hand screen-printed shirts, upcycled art prints, and outdoor-scented candles poured into salvaged beer bottles. Built by a couple of Great-Lakes transplants who fell hard for Utah — and want to keep it wild.

Shop the Line How We Give Back
$1 / item to the National Park Foundation Recycled & upcycled materials Designed & printed in-house

Made from what's left behind

Beer bottles pulled from rivers and campgrounds become candles. Old print films become art. Trash into treasure.

Every item gives back

A dollar from every shirt and poster goes straight to the National Park Foundation. Small hands, real trails.

Real people, real hands

Designed, mixed, and printed by us — not a factory. If it has our name on it, we made it ourselves.

The Line

Small-batch, made to order

Everything is made by hand in Utah, so each run is small and each piece is a little different. Tell us what you want and we'll pour, print, and pack it.

Our Craft

Trash to stuff, on purpose

We spent our first year heads-down, designing and producing everything in-house — because doing it ourselves is the only way we can promise where it came from and keep giving back at the same time.

Beer bottles left behind on the trail get cut, cleaned, and poured into candles. A giant stack of old books, films, and a couple gallons of ink turn into art prints. It's slower this way. It's also the whole point.

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Then go outside.

Give Back

A dollar a shirt, for the places we love

We're dedicated to a few things above all others: dad jokes, time outdoors with the people we love, and conservation work that keeps America's wild places wild for the next crew coming up the trail.

That's why $1 from every shirt and poster goes to the National Park Foundation. In our first few months of selling, we raised $139. The goal now is to grow that every single year — until we're funding whole conservation projects on our own.

Where the ideas come from

Every design starts on a hike, a lake, or a tailgate somewhere in Utah. A few of the places that keep us inspired — tap any photo to look closer.
