The morning light spilled over the Wasatch Range, cascading into the Provo River valley and lighting up the water like glass. Two friends waded in, boots braced against slick stones, fly lines cutting through the crisp autumn air. The fish were hitting early—each cast greeted by a flash of silver and the thrill of a tight line. They looked the part, too—each sporting the new Bay Flats Lodge x WWA x Cantonment Kerchief Set, one in deep Hunter Green, the other in Burnt Orange. The colors popped against the fall foliage and, more importantly, kept the glare off their faces as the sun poured down and bounced off the water below. When the midday heat hit, they dunked the kerchiefs...
Compared with your average “gringo,” I’m pretty fortunate. From 19-21 years old, I lived in Costa Rica while on a service mission for my church. Even decades later, ever since my kids have been old enough to go, it’s been our family’s top adventure destination. When you’re battling equatorial heat and sun, and surrounded by unimaginable beauty, it’s absolutely essential that you’re ready for the unexpected.

This was a foundational time for us in terms of our style, passions, and experiences. So when The Greater Colorado Council of the Boy Scouts of America were introduced to Cantonment’s branding and products, they reached out to us for some help.

Their brief was simple—create scouting apparel that kids would be proud to wear to school—something we never dared do when we were young scouts. The result was something they didn’t...

Some places have a way of creeping into the depths of your soul. I wasn’t necessarily excited when I was asked to go to Costa Rica for two years right out of high school. I can’t say I knew anything about the place, to be honest. But I didn’t think Central America had anything to offer me. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
