Between Hell & Heaven: Burley Mountain Fire Lookout Restoration  

In part of our continuing partnership with the NFF, each year, a team of our staff helps renovate a historic fire lookout. Last year we headed out to an 88-year-old lookout in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. (Written firsthand by our own Nick Wojtasik)

The Filson Restoration Department & Workshop

We’ve taken pride in the quality of our craftsmanship for over a century, and in keeping with that tradition, the Filson Restoration Department and Filson Workshop were formed. We caught up with Jeremy Bennett, Jon Duce, and Marissa Barnard from the workshop team to find out what goes into restoring a Filson original and creating a one-of-a-kind piece from salvaged resources.
