"Sometimes you get a chance to bring something unique down to the jungle and put it through the ringer...

Fire mastery takes practice and can prove essential in survival. Practice your craft. Get comfortable starting fires using multiple sources of tinder found in nature.

Explore with Confidence by mastering firecraft and be the hero of your next adventure. 

With the Native American name of 'Bodaway' meaning 'Fire-Maker', it's no wonder so much of what OE Founder and Inventor, Mike Mojica, creates carries a common theme of fire making. 

In the realm of outdoor adventures and wilderness exploration, fire is more than just a source of warmth and comfort. It is an essential element that kindles the very essence of survival.

'Explore with Confidence' is more than a tagline for Outdoor Element. It's  about believing in our untapped potential and conquering challenges. It's a mindset that empowers us to embrace the unknown, discover our true capabilities, and set out on epic adventures with unwavering self-assurance.

In honor of Father's Day, I would like to share a snippet from my personal journey that showcases how my father instilled in me the unwavering belief that we're all capable of achieving remarkable feats and embracing the unknown.

Ever wonder what it’s like behind the scenes of a small business? You'll see struggle, strength, creativity, and grind. Chasing the dream isn't for the faint of heart.

My dream is to help everyone explore the outdoors with confidence. The OE mission statement sums it up…”Sparking confident adventure through innovative gear.” Developing innovative gear is a passion of mine. Running a business also requires marketing, logistics, and fulfillment to get the word out and get product in your hands. It takes a lot of hats to run a business.

Critical opinions are sought after. Mentors and collaborators are treasured. The Campfire Co-Op Demo Days hosted by Georgia Bushcraft provided both in one place.

Voice outside the tent at 11:07 pm Thu night: Hello. Hello. Anyone in there? (am I dreaming of Pink Floyd?) 

Us inside the tent: Yes (hesitantly, but thinking who the heck is waking us up in the middle of the night and why) 

Voice outside the tent: We need you to pack up your camp and move to higher ground as soon as possible. 

What? Really? How is this happening? We chose the “higher ground” for a reason. Adrenaline starts to surge…

I quit my 9-5 in late 2017 to be all in on pursuing my American Dream – growing Outdoor Element. I knew going in the hill ahead would be a steep and risky climb.

What I didn’t realize is how much I’d love this journey. Struggles and all.

Reflecting on the past year, I’ve compiled a list of 4 things I’m grateful for as an entrepreneur.
