Hemp Adventure Gear

What is so great about hemp? Hemp is grown easily, like a weed, without the use of harmful toxic pesticides and fertilizers, and produces more pulp per acre than timber.  Its deep root system prevents soil erosion and maintains soil fertility; this makes hemp an ideal rotation crop.  Hemp fiber is one of the strongest, most insulating and absorbent of all naturally occurring fibers!
Our hemp bags are made in the highlands of Guatemala by an indigenous Mayan family business.
