Alpine Ridge Outfitters was founded by Joe Poston after an eye-opening adventure in the Panamanian Tabasará Mountains, where he and his future wife volunteered with the Ngabe indigenous people. This experience inspired Joe to reconsider the essentials of camping gear and sparked a vision to create minimalist, innovative gear for adventure travelers. Aimed at inspiring adventures and supporting communities in need, Alpine Ridge Outfitters embodies the philosophy of doing more with less, encouraging everyone to embark on their adventure of a lifetime.
It started as an adventure
A few years ago my future wife and I signed up to volunteer in the Panaminan Tabasará Mountains, figuring a little hard work in a beautiful place would be a good way to explore the world...
A World in Need
We hiked and climbed for hours through rough terrain to reach the Ngabe indigenous people. During our time volunteering,we learned about their humble way of life and the unique projects that needed funding, advocacy and support...
A Purpose
After this worldview shaping experience, I saw an abundance problem in camping industry. It shouldn't take much to pack up and go out into the world. Boundless places and people are just a carry on bag away. Our purpose is to provide innovation and inspiration for the adventure traveler to make an impact on communities in need.
Do more. Pack less.
Join our family
Panama has a special place in my heart. Friendship bonds grew strong, amazing locals shaped my worldview. Even my now wife, Tori, points to this adventure as the place where our relationship began. Everyone deserves their adventure of a lifetime. So, we welcome you to join us as we start a new journey to innovate minimalist gear, inspire adventure and impact a world in need.
