Meet the Owner

 Answer Your Wild.

I’ve been fishing since I was born.

I took up hunting fifteen years ago, and I took my first elk my first year archery hunting. I haven’t looked back since.

I mountain bike. I hike. I backpack. I fish. I hunt. I forage. I do anything I can to be outside. I grew up living in the woods with a slingshot or a BB gun. It’s in me to be outside.

Forus Wild started because I wanted hear and clothing that spoke my language. Not generic clip-art mountains. Not slogans dreamed up in a boardroom. Real designs about real days outdoors — the skunked fishing trips, the bow-hunting hikes where the only thing I brought home was sore legs, the cold mornings when a close elk bugle made the whole trip worth it.

So I started making them myself. Every Forus Wild design is original art I created and gear I use — the illustration, the words, all of it. Each one comes from something I’ve actually lived.

Every shirt is printed on demand on a soft, lightweight tee, with a small Forus Wild mark at the back of the collar. No warehouses full of guesswork. You order it, it’s made for you.

This is just the start. The shirts fund what’s next: honest, affordable outdoor gear — the kind I’d buy myself.

Thanks for being here. Now get outside.
