Back in 2018, on Colorado’s Birthday, August 1st; I was trying to convince my wife that the most logical camp set up began with us owning our own camp store.  No but seriously, after watching countless hours of YouTube videos and scrolling pages of influencer sponsored blogs, I learned there really was no great way to shop for these products. Online retailers knew nothing about the products they were selling and specialty shops were married to legacy brands. “What if we opened a shop!?”, I said.   So that night, August 1st, Colorado’s birthday, the Spirit of 1876 was born, paying homage to this beautiful state we get to call home. Today we’re Colorado’s premier Adventure HQ, consulting and outfitting dream rigs across the country.
