Field Notes #004 - "Built in Our Garage"

Before the logo. Before the product names. Before the field tests and pack drops and late-night launches -- there was just a garage. Mom's garage.

Not some polished showrooms or startup office.
A real garage. With dust. With busted zippers.
With a sewing machine that skipped more than it stitched.

That's where Thrillside was started.

We weren't trying to impress anyone.
We just wanted gear that held up -- gear that didn't quit in the cold, didn't rattle on the trail, didn't melt in the truck bed or tear in a blind.

So we started cutting fabric and plastic. Stitching pouches. Failing. Re-stitching. Burning through materials.
And eventually...we made something that worked. Then we made another. And another.

That's the rhythm we still live by:
Build. Test. Fix. Repeat.

The Nightshift Pack. The T Bag. The 6 Shooter. The Burner Bag. Every piece we offer was born in a garage -- field-tested, beaten up, and refined by the kind of use you can't fake.

So yeah, you'll see us say it often:
"Built in Our Garage." 
Because that's not branding. That's a promise.

We didn't make this stuff for the shelf.
We made it for the field.
