Trail Life USA & HMWOutdoors

Trailmen wanted: We want to be your Troop's Official Outdoor Gear Partner and Resource

Are you a Trailman, Parent or Leader?

Are you getting ready for camping, summer camp or adventure?

Do you have new Trailmen that just joined your Troop?

Do you want to save time shopping for gear?

The HMWOutdors YAK has everything a Trailman needs.

To solve the unique challenges faced by parents with youth in outdoor programs, we built the Youth Adventure Kit (YAK). The YAK is your youth's customized bundle of Essential Outdoor Gear.

With the YAK,

You save time not going from store to store
You increase your confidence that when you send them out the will be prepared
You ensure piece of mind that they will be warm and toasty
You have piece of mind that they have just what they need

HMWOutdoors is an innovative outdoor gear and apparel company focused on equipping youth for meaningful experiences in the natural world that facilitate inner growth and environmental awareness.

The YAK ensures every child has an opportunity to experience the outdoors without regard to income, creates an incredibly convenient solution for anxious parents confronted with a packing list, and creates a customized gear bundle for programs they can trust to ensure all participants are prepared.

We want to be your Troop's Official Partner and Resource. We are not a partner with Trail Life USA, but we really want to be.
