“Meet the Maker”

Hi, I’m Paul Gibson, the head guy behind the sewing machine at Arrowhead Equipment.
I started Arrowhead back in 2009 because I couldn’t find the kind of hammock gear I wanted lightweight, reliable, and ready to ship before my next trip. So I started making it myself. One product led to another, and before long, I was sewing gear for friends, fellow hikers, and eventually customers all over the country. What began as a hobby in the garage has grown into a full-time small business here in Idaho. The handmade gear we produce is designed, tested, and built right here, by me, my family and my friends. I'm a hammock camper, Stand Up Paddler, hiker, Fisherman and gear nerd at heart, and I still use the same underquilts, tarps, and suspension systems we ship out every day. We’re proud to be one of the first cottage gear shops to offer Whoopie Sling suspensions. We’ve been at it since 2009, and we’re still shipping fast and making gear that helps folks enjoy the backcountry. If you ever have questions or need help choosing gear, don’t hesitate to reach out, there’s a real person behind this shop, and I’d be glad to help. — Paul Have a question? Want to talk gear setups? I'm just an email away—shoot me a message anytime and I’ll help you get ready for your next trip. |

- Q: Favorite piece of gear to make?
A: I really enjoy making the Pocket Drop. It’s a fun and unique bit of gear to sew. And splicing Whoopie Slings. Still love making them, even after all these years. I can sit and splice slings for hours.
- Q: What trip inspired you to start making your own gear?
A: An empty wallet. I really wanted to do more hammock camping but with a family and tight budget I needed to find a way to make most of the gear I needed. At the time it was born out of needing items that not many companies were making and finding affordable options. - Q: What’s always in your pack (besides AHE gear)?
A: A good hat (Shelta Land Hawk currently), a fishing pole (usually Tenkara style), Tailwind Endurance Hydration drink mix (Dauwaltermelon flavor)
