“Secondly, they are often a lifeline to safety. And finally, they are packed full of exotic and often toxic materials that can do damage to fragile wilderness ecosystems. These concerns combined with my 35+ years of outdoor experience became the inspiration for the KOALA design as well as the foundational values for HANGTIME. Over my life, a passion for playing in wild places has grown into a passion for keeping those same places beautiful and healthy.”
