Higher sell-through. Better margins. Less dead inventory.

Wayward Ridge designs minimalist, ultralight hunting accessories that solve one clear problem, install in seconds, and get used every hunt.

 

WHY IT SELLS

Retailers carry Wayward Ridge because the products:

  • Solve an obvious problem immediately

  • Require little to no staff explanation

  • Fit modern saddle & mobile hunting setups

  • Have a small footprint with strong margins

  • Generate brand-loyal customers, not one-off buys

These aren’t novelty items.
They become part of the hunter’s system.


BUILT DIFFERENT

Special Forces Veteran-owned. American-made.

The gear is built using principles learned overseas:

  • Simplicity under stress

  • Minimal weight

  • No unnecessary steps

Designed for people who hunt hard.


DEALER PROGRAM

Approved retailers receive:

  • Dealer-friendly wholesale pricing

  • Low minimum opening order

  • Fast fulfillment (made in-house)

  • Direct access to the founder

No bloated catalogs.
No forced bundles.
No nonsense.

RISK REVERSAL

If a product isn’t moving, we’ll help you fix it—or buy back your initial order after 90 days.

Good fit if you:

  • Sell saddle-hunting or mobile-hunting equipment

  • Have an active website, online store, or social media presence

  • Serve hunters who value simple, lightweight systems

  • Want products that integrate into existing hunting setups

Not a fit if you:

  • Do not sell equipment for use on public land

  • Have no online presence or way to show products in use

  • Rely only on foot traffic with no digital exposure

  • Sell solely traditional gear unrelated to modern hunting setups

These criteria exist for one reason: when they’re met, our products move quickly. When they aren’t, they don’t. We want our partners set up for success.

From Our Customers

Review from the saddle

"I'm sitting in the saddle on the Kentucky opening day for deer as I write this. This unit is so light weight and not bulky that if you saddle hunt you definitely need it. Your phone will not fall off while on this!"

A must have

The ability to get up in a tree and easily establish a secure way to hang your bow, gun, or bag is simply priceless.

Awesome piece of gear

"...super durable, holds a ton of weight and takes up hardly any room in your pockets, saddle pouches or your pack. Can not recommend it enough."

So simple and perfect

"The magnet included to secure your phone is strong. I grabbed the bridge shaking it violently and the phone still remained solidly attached. I can have my phone in front of me and at the same time my hands are free when the time comes."

End your search

"Don't let the lightweight fool you... the wayward wire is a tank! Super simple to get on the tree..."

Great Product

"Perfect for hanging sticks and platform on your saddle while you make your way up the tree."

About Us

After retiring from Special Forces, I had a Green Beret mindset without a mission.

My wife and I shortly discovered the outdoors was the best therapy and focus for our family, so we went all in.

My wife, Megan, and I take our daughter to explore the outdoors together and we are the sole owners and workers in Wayward Ridge.

Our business and family values are cut from the same cloth: quality time spent doing quality work to make ourselves and those around us better.
