About Us

Our Story: From the Appalachians to the Coast

At Backcountry Sportsman, the outdoors isn’t just a hobby—it’s a way of life. We grew up in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, where our days were filled with canoeing down winding rivers, kayaking through hidden streams, and camping under starlit skies. Those early years taught us the value of adventure, self-reliance, and respect for the natural world.

As life carried us south to the coastal waters of South Carolina, our love for the outdoors only grew stronger. We traded mountain streams for tidal creeks and ocean bays, exploring new horizons while still holding on to our roots. Whether we’re casting a line from a kayak or heading back to the mountains for family trips, we’ve never stopped chasing the same spirit of adventure.

Backcountry Sportsman was founded to share that passion with others. We know that the right gear can make every trip safer, easier, and more enjoyable—and we take pride in offering products we’d trust on our own adventures. Everything we carry is chosen with experience and care.


 

Gear That Earns Your Trust

We understand the difference between “good enough” and gear that actually holds up when it matters. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to stock equipment that’s rugged, reliable, and made to last, from tents that shelter you through stormy nights to kayaks that glide with strength and ease. Every item we carry is field-tested, nature-approved, and backed by a promise to deliver more than just functionality, we deliver peace of mind.
