About Arcturus

WE MAKE GEAR THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BE SELF-RELIANT IN THE WILD. Survival, bushcraft, preparation, hunting, backpacking - no matter what you call it, Arcturus is committed to pushing the human spirit towards that euphoric feeling of independence. The feeling of needing nothing but the gear you brought with you. You, your hands, your gear, possibly a dog, and endless possibilities. Our founders grew up like a lot of kids: outside and wild. They were boy scouts, hikers, climbers, and fighters. They became adults, and after trying the corporate life for a while they discovered their passion for the outdoors had never faded, and Arcturus was born. Arcturus [Arc-ter-us] is one of the brightest stars in the night sky and the brightest in the northern celestial sphere. So when starting a camouflage gear company we thought the name iconic and ran with it. Arcturus (the star) also has a rich history in celestial navigation, so for an outdoor gear and survival equipment company, the name just fit. WHERE WE'RE FROM Arcturus is headquartered in Vancouver, WA. It's a funny place. Our city is Vancouver, but, no, not in Canada. We're in Washington, but, no, not D.C. We're located just across the bridge from Portland, but, no, not Maine. We're in Clark County, but, no, not the one in Nevada where Las Vegas is located. So here we are, in the middle of it all but a bit overshadowed by other, better-known locations. We like it that way. It gives us something to get after.Read their story
