Forest Fundamentals began with our founder Elvis’ handmade creations sold online. While we still partner with local artisans to craft some of our classic best-sellers, the majority of our products now involve advanced design and manufacturing processes—ranging from custom textile development and full CAD modelling to precision CNC manufacturing and more.
We've built a strong and reliable network of manufacturers and logistics partners across the United Kingdom, the USA, and China.
While we continue to design and sell our own direct-to-retail products, we're increasingly expanding into product sourcing, manufacturing, testing, and fulfillment for other outdoor-focused brands.
Through our journey of navigating the complex world of design, manufacturing, and shipping, we've faced our fair share of challenges-everything from overlooking supplier vetting and delayed shipments to inaccurate samples and design hiccups.
But every mistake has been a lesson.
We've learned the hard way so you don't have to!
Whether your company is bringing a brand- new product idea to life or looking to source stock products in bulk at competitive prices.
We have the expertise to support and assist in getting it done.
Please Note: Our expertise in product testing and knowledge is focused exclusively on outdoor, camping, and bushcraft-related products. We are unable to assist on anything that's not related to these fields.
For smaller sized retailers, or experience-based business such as, bushcraft schools or outdoor adventure companies creating custom products isn’t always necessary.
We can help source, and brand high-quality stock products at extremely competitive prices.
We work closely with trusted manufacturers of outdoor products in the UK, USA, and China. All suppliers and products are rigorously vetted and tested to before anything get’s shipped.
Arguably the best parts of the design process—after all the endless work—is finally getting those physical samples in your hands!
We can help create detailed CAD drawings to share with manufactures.
We can also assist with contacting manufacturers to kickstart sample production—ensuring they understand the design, while setting clear quality control and assurance points for a perfect first sample!
Once a set of detailed design drawings has been completed with clear tolerances and quality control and assurance points, it’s up to the manufacturer to produce the final outcome to specifications.
However, it’s not always that simple — we can help oversee the process, liaise with the manufacturer to ensure the product meets specifications, certifications, standards, and deadlines are met, and quality control is followed.
One of the benefits of being involved in the business-side of things, rather than solely designing is we understand the important of keeping the price to an absolute minimum.
We’ll contact multiple different manufacturers to compare prices and lead times, ensuring the chosen manufacturer is both cost-effective and capable of the fastest production.
Shipping products correctly can have a significant impact on the success of a product.
Over-budget shipping can lead to increased retail prices for customers, while delays can result in missed release dates, low stock levels, and failed agreements with marketing partners.
We can arrange shipping through cost-effective, fast, but also the safest shipping channels.
We can also help structure shipments to meet your needs, whether that means sending some through express channels and others via more cost-effective, slower options like cargo ships.
