Our objective with The Bear Necessities line is pretty simple: Give us a bike and some mountains and that's about all we need! We live for a journey on the less traveled path and The Bear Necessities strips it down to what matters most....mountains, bikes, friends, and the feeling that comes from unplugging from the grind and tapping into nature.

In addition to donating, our crew has co-adopted Black Mountain Trail in Pisgah National Forest along with Crankjoy. We do regular maintenance and work days to make sure we protect this valuable resource we all love.
Since we started in December of 2017, we have donated over $15,000 back to the trails. Thank you for helping us make a real difference!
