Nathan Baller | Founder, Skating in the Boundary Waters
Meet The Founder
Abode Outside was founded by a former wilderness first responder with the mission to use clothing as a tool to connect people with nature and protect the outdoors for the future.
Inspired by family adventures in the Boundary Waters, Abode Outside grew from a lifelong passion for the outdoors.
Founder Nate combined his wilderness education and sustainable fashion studies at the London College of Fashion to create a brand dedicated to blending sustainability with style and functionality.
With the unwavering support of his fiancée Crystal, brothers Jake and Nick, his Mother and close friends, Abode Outside launched in 2020, offering exceptional lifestyle and performance knitwear designed to protect the nature we all love—at prices that make a difference accessible to everyone.
