Back Country Hunters and Anglers
Supported when you purchase: 15200ORG Altitude
Backcountry Hunters & Anglers seeks to ensure North America's outdoor heritage of hunting and fishing in a natural setting, through education and work on behalf of wild public lands and waters.
"This country has been swinging the hammer of development so long and so hard that it has forgotten the anvil of wilderness which gave value and significance to its labors. The momentum of our blows is so unprecedented that the remaining remnant of wilderness will be pounded into road-dust long before we find out its values."
- Aldo Leopold in 1935.
The membership of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers values the traditions and heritage our wild lands, waters and wildlife sustain and we are driven to protect our wild places before the value noted by Leopold is lost forever.

Pacific Northwest Defense Coalition
Create, grow and diversify business development opportunities for Pacific Northwest Defense & Security industry businesses.
The opportunity for growth in the Pacific Northwest's defense and security industries is tremendous. Globally competitive industry clusters are thriving in the Northwest, including manufacturing, software, renewable energy, and biotechnology. But while many firms would greatly benefit from working with government agencies, they lack the resources and experience to enter these lucrative partnerships. PNDC bridges these gaps with educational programs, business-to-business networking, and outreach and advocacy with government decision makers.

Service that goes beyond the product
For any company, there should be a commitment to their customers. This is a core principle here at Benchmade. It starts with the most fundamental commitment; making product that meets the needs of our customers and stands up to the rigors of those needs, for life. There is an even deeper level of commitment to customers that goes well beyond the product itself, and that is the act of giving back. Our giving back intiiatives are reserved for those moments our communities need us most. While we hope these moments never come, we will be there if they do.
Our latest giving back campaign aimed to help our first responders who were affected by the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California histroy, the Campfire that ignited on November 8th, 2018. Our team, with the help of our customers, raised funds that would go directly to the first responders who ran towards danger that day to help their neighbors, while their homes and belongings were in danger.Continue Reading
