Public Lands Belong to Us. Not To Corporations.

Public lands aren’t a privilege. They’re a birthright. And we’ll wear that truth on our backs until the last tree falls.

Defend the Wild

| FIELD READY GEAR|

This is a no-BS lineup built for movement, survival, and the long haul—trekking poles, backpacks, fire kits, solar banks, freeze-dried meals, and more. If it’s in this collection, it’s been chosen to work when nothing else does. Google won’t get you out of the woods—this might.

|STLHD GEAR|

Iron Pines is proud to offer a curated collection of STLHD Gear—rugged hoodies, hats, and performance apparel designed for anglers, outdoorsmen, and anyone who lives off the beaten path.

We’ve trusted STLHD for years because their gear matches our mission: built to endure, made for the wild, and never soft. This collection features STLHD’s top-rated fishing hoodies, cold-weather gear, and river-tested clothing for chasing steelhead, hiking deep trails, or grinding through your next hard day outdoors.

If it’s in this collection, it earned its place. Grit, durability, and purpose—just how we like it.

    We’re the ones who bled into the dirt, who rebuilt from the wreckage, and who carry every scar like a flag.

    Iron Pines was forged for the outsiders — the ones too stubborn to die, too proud to kneel, and too wild to be tamed.
