We’re Kevin and Katie – an aunt-and-nephew team (yes, we’re the same age—it’s complicated) with a passion for getting you off your phone and into the wild. Upland Original is powered by our entire adventure-loving family. Kevin’s an award-winning bird dog trainer and hunter, Katie is a National Park-obsessed hiker, and we’ve got horseback riding blue-ribbon winners, camping and hiking pros, and every outdoor skill you can imagine under our roof.

Here’s what sets us apart: we only sell products and brands we’ve tested and backed ourselves. Every item in our shop has been put through its paces by our family of outdoor enthusiasts. If it’s in our store, it’s because we trust it to perform when it matters most—whether you're hiking, hunting, camping, or just heading out to Go Touch Grass.

Our mission? Simple. To help you reconnect with nature in a way that’s fun, approachable, and gear you can count on. No boring lectures, just fresh air, some dirt, a few tips, and maybe a bit of family banter.

We’re ready when you are.
