Keeping It Wild: An Abode Outside × Save the Boundary Waters Collaboration
Celebrate America’s wilderness and help protect it for the future.
The Boundary Waters is sometimes referred to as America's Wilderness. Due to its size, ecological significance and nationwide traffic. It is the most visited wilderness area in the country.
We grew up camping in the Boundary Waters. We started Abode Outside to create clothing that reduces pollution and connects people to nature. Camping in the boundary waters as kids inspired that love and appreciate for nature. We need it for our health and wellness, not just recreation.
That is why we are proud to collaborate with Save the Boundary Waters, an organization working to protect one of America’s most incredible wilderness areas.
Our new Keeping It Wild Hat was created around the simple idea that humanity benefits from access to wilderness and unfortunately there is less than 5% designated wilderness left in the country. We need to keep some wilderness wild.
And this collaboration directly supports that work.
20% of every Save the Boundary Waters branded product we sell is donated to wilderness protection.
A Hat Made for Life Outside
The Keeping It Wild Hat was designed in Minnesota and ethically made by a social enterprise in Nepal with a mission to train and employ survivors of exploitation.
It is made with recycled polyester for lightweight durability, moisture management and faster drying, whether you’re paddling the Boundary Waters, hiking in the Northwoods, camping for the weekend or just spending more time outside.
The details tell the story too. The front patch brings Abode Outside and Save the Boundary Waters together around the message “Keeping It Wild for Future Generations.” A small pine and paddle are embroidered on the side, with “Keep the Boundary Waters Wild” across the back.
Protect the Places That Make the Outdoors Possible
We make outdoor clothing, but ultimately our business depends on something much bigger than clothing.
It depends on having clean water to paddle, healthy forests to explore and wild places worth getting outside for in the first place.
We believe outdoor brands have a unique responsibility to help protect those places.
This hat is one small way we can do that.
Wear it outside. Get it dirty. Take it into the wilderness. And help us make sure places like the Boundary Waters stay that way.
