Group Brainstorming Challenge
Spring will be here soon. That means its time to go camping. We have several products designed to make camping better. The Utensil Drying Rack keeps your utensils (of all sizes) clean while they dry. The towel holders keep your hand towels, bath towels and wash clothes securely hanging (even in heavy winds) where they can dry and are ready for use.
We got to wondering what else you use these products for? So we’re having a contest.
Contest #1 — If you already have a Montie Gear drying rack or holder then send us a picture of how you use your rack or holder. Prize for the best use of the racks and holders is your choice of a rack or holder.
Contest #2 — Tell us how you would put a Montie Gear rack or holder to use in your campsite. Prize for the best suggestion is a Base Camp Spoon / Fork Drying Rack.
Send your entries to montie@montie.com by March 31st, 2016. Here are some pictures of the racks and holders in use to start the conversation. Click on any of the pictures for more information.
Contest – Edwin C is the Winner!
There are 1000 X-Rests in the boxes in the picture. It was a big order for us and a lot of work, but in the end they all fit on one pallet. Edwin had the closet guess for the number of X-Rests in the picture below, so he won a Basecamp Fork / Spoon Rack. Good job Ewin.

Our philosophy for Montie Gear products is pretty straight forward. We provide “Heirloom Quality Products That are Troublesome Gap Tough”.
Many products in today’s world are meant to have a limited life time. A good example is that cell phone that you need to replace every two years. It works great, but over time technology changes and the fragile electronics have a limited lifetime. We want to design and sell products that have a very long lifetime and may actually get passed along to your kids or grandchildren. Many rifles get passed along from parent to children, sometimes marking a rite of passage. Granted a shooting rest isn’t as special as your Grandfather’s rifle. However, we work to design and sell products that are simple, elegant and high enough quality that you will want to pass them along to your kids or grandchildren.Troublesome Gap Tough
Troublesome Gap is a place in Western North Carolina, near the peak of Hap Mountains and overlooking Spring Creek, NC. My parents purchased the property over 40 years ago. I grew up spending time there. We cut firewood for heat, picked blackberries and raspberries, and spent some great weekends up there. Troublesome Gap is remote and rugged, the prefect place to test our products. Troublesome Gap Tough means that the products are rugged and easy-to-use. A delicate, hard-to-use product is a liability in the field, so we avoid that by making sure all our products provide a great customer experience and are built to last, even in demanding conditions.
As President of Montie Design, I am proud the fact that we are shipping high-quality, U.S. made products. I am also proud to be an American.
Sincerely,
Montie Roland
