You’ve certainly heard of Mystery Ranch, a backpack company that builds topnotch mission-specific products for hunters, hikers, first-responders, members of the military and more. Perhaps what you didn’t know is the company is interested in more than making a profit.

Recently the company announced its new philanthropic arm of the business, with the interesting moniker “The Warp and the Weft.” Confused by the out-of-the-box name? Here’s a quick explanation: The two terms, warp and weft, come from the weaving process of turning thread or yarn into fabric.

Mystery Ranch Director of Marketing Ryan Holm said, “Like the warp and weft are interwoven to create fabrics, Mystery Ranch and the non-profits we support have overlapping values and interwoven missions that when brought together, create an object of strength and dependency on one another.”

Non-Profits That Will Benefit

According to Holm, Mystery Ranch is honored to support many non-profit organizations that do the real work that builds and supports the communities that Mystery Ranch greatly values. In the hunting realm, these foundations consist of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, OneMontana, Mule Deer Foundation, Wild Sheep Foundation, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, and the Montana Outfitters and Guides Association.

For many outdoorsmen and women, the United States military is near and dear to their hearts as well. Mystery Ranch has also declared their support of the following non-profits: SOC-F, The Station Foundation, and Warriors and Quiet Waters.

P.S. Mystery Ranch makes a clever backpack called the Treehouse, which is designed specifically for whitetail hunters. Check out its many features in the video below.
