Forest Fundamentals started with products handmade solely by the company founder, Elvis. While it’s grown since then, we remain true to our roots—still hand-making a few of our best-sellers in collaboration with local makers.
All of our waxed cotton canvas items are treated with Martexin Original Wax, a blend of non-hazardous, food-grade waxes. This finish provides long-lasting weather resistance and develops a rich, time-worn patina as it ages.
We take pride in our craftsmanship. Most of our products feature overlock stitching for added durability and are built using high-quality components—such as solid brass hardware, recycled plastic toggles, and 550 paracord lanyards, to name a few.
Amid increasing demand, it was always important to Elvis (company founder) that Forest Fundamentals™ stays true to its roots and carry on hand-making a few of our most popular handmade products. Many of our handmade products use cotton canvas and have been waterproofed using Martexin Original Wax. Martexin Original Wax is made using a blend of non-hazardous food-grade waxes. It gives the fabric lifelong resistance to weathering and as it ages, it develops a well-worn patina.
We take pride in our handmaking. In most products, we use Overlock double stitching for added strength and only quality components including solid Brass fixings, recycled plastic toggles, and 550 paracord lanyards, to name a few.
