The first vision and concept of Pure Outdoor goes back to 2011 on expedition in Alaska with Guy, Neil and Chris that resulted in the first ascent of ‘Sourdough Suicide’ on Mt Geist. With many days spent waiting for weather windows and dreaming big - sketching notes and doodling ideas. Upon our return I could just make out a few notes on some of our scraps of paper. It was a business plan and it was simple. “Climb more, Work less, Have fun”. It hold’s true to this day. We wanted to do a better job. To design an outdoor company to educate and inspire and to share our passion. We wanted to be out there doing, learning and experiencing! Little did we know, the adventure was yet to begin….Like many small businesses, the Covid-19 crisis has written off our summer trading and therefore our year (we save for the winter through the summer). So we've battened down the hatches, spending time with family and dreaming BIG.
We've built up a really loyal customer base over the years and it's so great to get support from everyone who has been in touch.
For those looking for ways to help, I thought i'd write a quick article here with some ideas on how you can help not only us, but any small businesses, suffering through this crisis
