I read he sold all his shares. No ties left to the company. Seems like the relationship went south for some reason.
It seems like every relationship he has goes south…..

Off topic, but curious if that site history is documented in an article or thread somewhere?All the best to you Aron!!!
And wish him the best in his new position with BP.
He moves the needle wherever he goes.
Will be strange to think Kifaru without Aron, though!
And for the FNGs around here, if it wasn’t for Aron, this site wouldn’t exist.
This thread comes to mind…..Off topic, but curious if that site history is documented in an article or thread somewhere?
Just curious how it all unfolded. I remember there being a pretty good Kifaru forum, and then around the time it shut down, this place got big quickly.
It still seems odd. The guy lived and breathed hunting. I had never looked up the company he went too until this morning. Seems kinda the opposite direction from what he was doing.Could be - even so, cash out and put all your energy into a growth brand with universal appeal, even outside of hunting
Kudos
gosh my man, it's not. Basically Aron Snyder, David Long, Ryan Avery started it. I was just a contributing writer (and there were others). David was around just the first 6 months or so, Aron about 3 years, then all these years later, it's me & Ryan but it all really started with Aron.Off topic, but curious if that site history is documented in an article or thread somewhere?

Previously posted in another thread.My only question is, who owns/is running the company now? Have they been bought by something like Vista Outdoors?
I wonder how the costs of moving to Wyoming were structured, and ultimately, how profitable it is.Majority investors expect consistent yearly growth. Every minority shell holder CEO is beholden to the temperament of the majority. Thus is life….
Aaron did a great job, I doubt the company will continue down the same legacy, will be interesting. As much as Aaron was hunting I’m sure his heart was far from doing stand ups in front of Shareholders discussing growing ebitda, but that what you get when you have to raise capital
The move was due to economical and political problems in Colorado. Countless companies have left that place.So he moved the company to the state of his choice, goes hunting seemingly all the time, and he was in a funk? I don't understand it, but ok. Best of luck to everyone I guess.

Instagram followers might correlate with profitability. But.....
I heard Wolfpack gear had a design position open up...

Trying to build and maintain a team in Riverton would be a very large challenge.I’m sure that move saved them
Immensely. CO politics, tax and over all COLA has gotten stupid.
Pay role alone I bet they saved 20-30%, which really allowed them to hire more.
I was there this fall and while I didn’t see a ton of it, I did like what i saw. Meant to go to kifaru but was never in town while it was openTrying to build and maintain a team in Riverton would be a very large challenge.
No dog in the fight, but I've owned several Kifaru packs and have always preferred EXO. Prob just a personal fit decision for each hunter.When I started guiding I would say over half the clients showed up with Kifaru packs. This year was the first year zero of the clients packs were Kifaru. Speaking to other guides it seems they noticed the same as I. I don’t know what Exo is doing but most the clients show up with those packs now. Which is unfortunate because I don’t know if it’s just the models I’ve seen but sure don’t seem as good as a kifaru. Hope to see Kifaru make a comeback.
