About Us
Elegantly Rugged
Our north star is simplicity, and consistency of design. We achieve this by focusing on the essentials, and tailoring. We take a minimalistic approach from start to finish. That results in highly effective products that are not overly complicated, and are not overly tailored. It also results in gear that is not over priced. This is the O.P.S.G philosophy of Elegantly Rugged Gear. The O.P.S.G mission is to only make gear that meets this ideal balance.
Field Friendly
The O.P.S.G Field Friendly concept is easy to understand. The goal is to create items that are functionally versatile, and so well made that they are unlikely to fail, ever! Furthermore, should a failure occur repairs will be possible in minutes not hours. All repairs should be easily made, with minimal effort and possible using resources collected in and created from the surroundings if need be.
New Old Stuff
There is an American brand of outdoorsmanship. The history of it can be seen in our vintage gear. Some of this gear immigrated here and some was born here. Much of it can still be found, though it is getting scarce, and is usually well worn. This old gear is captivating, has a rugged beauty, and elegant simplicity. It is timeless.
O.P.S.G Tales of Trails designated products revisit this iconic gear. We carefully update it while preserving its fundamental design.
