The Treehugger

By Treeline Outdoors | Made in Turner Valley

As Albertans, we’ve all heard (or told) tales of waking in a tent on the May long weekend to find our camping gear buried beneath a fresh blanket of snow. For Treeline Outdoors, this inspired “The Treehugger” — a gear cache designed to keep hatchets, bear spray, fishing rods, kitchen equipment and other essentials organized and off the ground. Made of 100-per cent PVC-coated polyester, the Treehugger attaches easily to trees between one and two feet in diameter, and folds into itself when the time comes to stow it away and move on to the next adventure.
