About Us
Our Mission: Hiking as Healthcare
Sure, we'd love it if you bought some of our gear, but our true North Star is to make the world healthier and happier. Our vision is to inspire 10 million people to be active outdoors at least once per month. It doesn’t have to be hiking, just get out there and have some fun. If more people love being outside, it will inspire them to sustain what we have for generations to come.
We donate 5% of our profits to organizations dedicated to helping people get into nature.
What do we stand for?
-
Fun
If you're not having fun, what's the point? Laugh. Play. Be curious. Get out there and enjoy yourself.
-
Courage
Hiking is simple, but not easy. We choose to climb the tallest peaks and solve the hardest problems just because we can. You got this.
-
Evolve
Change is what got us here and it’s where we’re headed, we embrace that. Our gear is built to last a lifetime, but it’s never finished.
Our Story
Hi, my name is Spencer and I'm the founder of Gone. Growing up in rural New Hampshire, I spent most of my time having fun outdoors. Playing with sticks and rocks got me curious about nature, which led me down a path to science and engineering. I eventually meandered into medicine, working as a product leader and biomedical engineer. While backpacking in the White Mountains, I realized that hiking is one of the best forms of preventative medicine, so I started gone to create the best outdoor gear that encourages people to get outside, have fun, and be healthy. Let's get gone.
