Ever Been Campin?
I am the Ben of Been Campin. Ever since moving to the Tetons in 2013, I have been obsessed with hiking, camping, and generally being outdoors in the mountains. I am currently in Colorado and have climbed 49 of the 58 Colorado 14ers (14,000'+ mountains). I have always been very ambitious with my hiking goals and the ultralight world was helpful in making some of those goals a bit more obtainable. With the Dyneema options on the market being so limited, I learned to sew in late 2018 and started creating my own ultralight gear. My grandparents gave me their Singer 201-2 in the summer of 2019 which has improved my sewing quite a bit. I am just living in the Colorado Rockies having fun sewing and creating gear with fun prints and I hope all of you find something you like and enjoy anything you purchase! Feel free to message me if you want any Colorado or Wyoming mountain suggestions :)
