30-day returns. Full refund.

If your gear isn't right, send it back within 30 days of purchase for a full refund of the purchase price. Try it on, check the fit, see how it rides. If it isn't for you, returning it is simple.

The one requirement: gear must come back in new condition. If it has been hunted in, worn in the field, or shows dirt, wear, or damage, we can't accept it as a return.

To start a return, use the contact page with the name on the order and the reason for the return. We may ask for a photo before approving. Once approved, ship it back and the refund goes to your original payment method.

Returns are available to the original purchaser only.


Ghost Country: The 60-Day Terrain Guarantee

Ghost Country is an informational product. Once you've watched a lesson, you have the information. You can't send it back. So the guarantee is built around one skill and one section of the course: reading a topo map.

The guarantee. Work through the Topo Maps section in order. If you can't read a topo map when you finish it, email jake@waywardridge.com within 60 days of purchase. You get a 100% refund. If you'd rather not quit, I'll work with you until it clicks.

How to stay eligible.

  • Complete the course in order, starting with the first lesson of the Topo Maps section.
  • Stop at the end of the Topo Maps section. That is the point to decide if Ghost Country is right for you.
  • The one exception: you can also work through the topo lessons in the Supplementary Courses section. That does not affect your eligibility.
  • Request your refund within 60 days of purchase.

What voids the guarantee. Jumping ahead. If you open lessons in any other section of the course before requesting a refund, including E-Scouting, Map & Compass, or non-topo supplementary lessons, the guarantee no longer applies. At that point you've taken the content past what the guarantee covers.

Eligibility is confirmed using your lesson progress in your course account. Approved refunds go to your original payment method.

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.
