Our names are Dustin and Janet , and we have both been working with our hands since we were teens. Our goal is to provide the gear and goods you need for the cabin life and your camping and trekking adventures! A wilderness life style requires gear that will stand up to the test of time and our products are prepared to face it with you, all while delivering a mountain of classic handmade style.

A little bit about us:

We were both raised out in the country and encouraged to pursue our interests in handcrafts by our parents. Today, we have a blacksmith shop and woodworking shop located on our-off-the-grid homestead where we make our products the old fashioned way - all by hand and with no electricity!

When we got married in 2008 , we soon realized that people loved to come and look at our cabin home, which we had furnished with a mixture of both of our work. We also love to spend time together as a family, camping in our canvas tent and exploring the fields, forests, and hills that surround us. Our family business grew naturally from our lifestyle, and we now enjoy designing and providing for others who love spending time surrounded by nature as much as we do!

Many of our items are single pieces that we only stock once, but some are made to order. These will look very similar to the pictures posted in our shop- but as every piece is made individually there will always be small differences that make every piece unique.

We strive to keep our business as sustainable as possible, harvesting responsibly from our forest and using repurposed meterials for many of our products. We also recycle and choose natural materials in our packaging as much as we can. Our goal is zero waste!

We love working together and often one or all of our seven children are playing near us or "helping" us as we work. Check out our adventures on our homestead on instagram @the_whistling_woodsman !

Make sure to favorite us or check our shop often- we are always working on something new!
