Lives Spent Outside

Outdoor's People

Nuataaq is built from a deep love for the wild. Our team came together as friends through a shared passion for the outdoors. The goal was to make gear for all of our lifestyles.

Canoe Trips

Canoepacking

Long distance canoe trips was the niche that brought us together. Trips paddling and portaging made us think heavily about maximizing function from any one piece of gear.

Campfire Stories

Gear as an Obsession

Talk around the campfire would inevitably turn to gear. Often times the conversation was how we could improve the details about the gear we had.

Core Mission

True Believers in Purpose

If we were going to make gear it was going to be extremely purposeful. 5% For Lands & Lives and our BIFL ideology are our ways of supporting the places and people that make the outdoors.

Garage Grown

Homebrew Engineering

We want to do every step the right way. We prototyped the Carabiner Bottle in a simple garage workshop. Countless iterations of carabiners, deconstructing steel thickness, and drop testing until we exceeded every benchmark.

Our Process

We obsessively engineer and test our products to bring the best in backcountry utility. The Carabiner Bottle was the result of two years of pushing ourselves to build the best bottle for the outdoors, designed to never leave your side.

You don't need another bottle, you need a better bottle.
