Wild Things Gear in NH

Anyone know what's going on with Wild Things? When you look at their website at www.wildthingsgear.com it looks like they're changing their business away from backpacking & climbing gear to supplying military gear. They refer to their Andinista backpack as "legacy gear".

You can see on their Facebook group page:

that they're talking September for new non-military gear.

There are other North American climbing-industry companies whose military contracts have come to dominate their prior civilian production and/or services.

If you call them, they might make you something if you ask nicely.

I was perusing their website a while back and wondering the same thing. Just called them up and asked -- they said they wanted to update their spring collection on the site, but it just 'took a while' .. they said a new website & such would be coming out in the fall. In the meantime it sounds like their outlet page has some deals on the older stuff.
