Bedrock Sandals
We came across Bedrock Sandals a couple years ago way in the back of the Outdoor Retailer show. The scene was: Small booth - basically a card table - and a lot of cool young fun people standing around in some sandals that we had never seen before. We could tell immediately that these sandals would fit and perform for walking and hiking like no other and we put in our first order. Bedrock has grown since then, but they still remain a wonderful cottage industry piece of artisan footwear that functions incredibly well in many conditions, and as amazingly ...

Simms Clothing In Store For Fall Fishing
Simms was founded in 1980 by visionary angler and longtime river guide John Simms. Having spent decades providing clients with life-changing experiences on the world’s most majestic rivers, John realized the waders available at that time weren’t up to the job of keeping the folks he was guiding dry, comfortable and safe on the river. So, he set about creating products worthy of a new generation of anglers who, like him, wanted to get out on the water earlier and stay out longer in any weather. This is why we carry Simms at Pack & Paddle. It's purpose built for ...

This Land is ‘Y’our Land – Join Us!
The Buffalo river in Arkansas looms as the largest of icons in the Williams family lore growing up in the 60’s and 70’s. Our family's tradition was to take a canoe camping trip on the Buffalo every year. This tradition continued for over 30 years and has been passed on from parents to children to grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. Many of our best memories come from the times we spent on the river together. What many people don’t know is that the Buffalo river was very nearly ruined. If not for the efforts of citizen groups like the Ozark society, much ...
