Stated in 2005 as a way to give mainly Boyscouts but also all campers in general a source to find camping gear in a easily navigated enviorment.
Please give us a short summary of your website, business model, etc
Whether you’re a first time camper or a regular outdoors weekend warrior, we have what you need. If you're going to sleep in a tent you may need sleeping bags, cots, flashlights, heaters, and bug repellent, we have it. If you're going to cook, don’t use your good pots and pans. To truly enjoy the outdoor cooking experience, purchase outdoor cookware. Our cookware is made and designed to be use on an open fire or camp stove. Now, if you’re out in the woods and or at a good camp ground, don't forget some camp furniture. As you can see, Digment Outfitters has it all.
