Gear Up for the Wild
Premium outdoor equipment, apparel, and expert trip planning — everything you need to explore with confidence.
Our Story
Born from a Love of the Outdoors
Founded in 2018 by Marcus Stone, Wild Wares began as a small outfitter in Bend, Oregon — a town surrounded by peaks, rivers, and high desert trails. Marcus, a lifelong mountaineer and former wilderness guide, saw a gap in the market for thoughtfully curated outdoor gear backed by genuine expertise.
Today, Wild Wares serves thousands of adventurers across the United States, offering a handpicked selection of camping equipment, hiking apparel, climbing hardware, and water-sport accessories. Every product we stock has been field-tested by our team in the rugged terrain of the Pacific Northwest.
