Why Squatch Survival Gear?
American-Made Quality You Can Trust
Every pack and piece of gear we produce is proudly crafted in the USA, ensuring unmatched durability and attention to detail. Our products are built to take on anything life throws your way—so you can go further, move faster, and carry more than you ever thought possible.
Inspired by the Outdoors, Perfected by Experience
Our designs are rooted in firsthand experience. Owner Chris Vick, a former Army Infantry Officer and combat veteran, knows what it’s like to rely on gear in critical moments. After experiencing countless equipment failures during his tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, Chris made it his mission to create gear that never quits—because failure isn’t an option.

Meet Chris Vick
*"I joined the Army Infantry in 1996 and was issued my first large A.L.I.C.E. pack—a government-issued rucksack that left much to be desired. Over my years as an Infantry Officer and during my combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, I experienced firsthand how unreliable gear can make or break a mission.
After returning to the U.S., I dedicated myself to creating durable, reliable gear designed to support those who depend on it most. At Squatch Survival Gear, we don’t just make products—we create tools for survival, success, and adventure."*
