Wayward Ridge builds modular chest rigs and ultralight gear for public land saddle hunters. Chest rigs, pocket bow hangers, phone mounts, MOLLE attachment hardware, and land navigation training. Everything is designed and made in the United States and carries a lifetime transferable warranty.
The company was founded by Jake Roberts, a Green Beret who was medically retired from the United States Army. He spent years learning to navigate and operate in terrain carrying only what was necessary, and that standard is the entire product line.
After retiring, the outdoors became the mission. Jake and his wife Megan run Wayward Ridge as a family business out of Indiana. They are the only two people in it.
The flagship product is The Detachment, a modular MOLLE chest rig built on true plate-carrier architecture. Most hunting harnesses are finished products with a layout the brand chose. The Detachment is a platform. The full laser-cut MOLLE front takes any pouches you own, the internal plates and back panel are removable, and you rebuild the layout for every hunt.
That is the philosophy across everything. Most hunters try to solve problems by adding gear, and adding gear is what defeats the point of hunting mobile. Every Wayward Ridge product does exactly one job, weighs as little as it can, makes no noise, and does not require a second piece of hardware to work.
Every product carries a lifetime transferable warranty. If it breaks, we replace it. If you sell it to a hunting buddy, the warranty goes with it.
