Alaska General Store
they are dedicated to reviving, sustaining and re-introducing useful quality products for indoors, outdoors and personal use.
Here at the end of the trail, they hang on to their possessions for a long time. Often, when they go to replace them they discover they have been discontinued. It would appear that many companies, regardless of size, are driven more by bean counting than offering useful products and customer service. Every time they see a company that says they care they want to gag. Care about what?
Even their favorite companies like Eddie Bauer, L.L. Bean, Patagonia , REI and Duracell abandon fine products because their business model does not allow for low turn over or small quantities or no change year to year. New and improved is rarely the case. they are working on a long list and would welcome your suggestions and additions. One of their first efforts is the classic White True Rib Wool Athletic Sock. they have tried all they can find, and they dissolve after too few washes. Wigwam stated they could no longer get the wool. This is patently not true as they know from their sheep farm in the lower 48. they will favor organic materials where feasible and available and feature made in the USA.
