Kansas Sartin: Head Adventurer and Founder of Pakmule Cargo Carriers
“We believe that if we can make it easier to LOAD, we know that you’ll GO more often. Which is good because nobody ever said, “I wish I spent more time watching TV’”
In this episode of "The Storied Outdoors," we are joined by Kansas Sartin, the Head Adventure and Founder of Pakmule Cargo Carriers. Kansas shares his journey of how the frustration of packing, loading, and managing gear on trips inspired him to create the Original Pakmule in 2012. This carrier, inspired by the rigging on coastal fishing boats, revolutionized gear transportation with its lightweight aluminum construction and intuitive design.
Kansas discusses how Pakmule has evolved into a full line of carriers and accessories, tested in various adventures from South Texas Dove hunts to family road trips in Colorado and Montana. The ethos behind Pakmule is to help people focus on what matters most: good times with friends and family, and pursuing hobbies that rejuvenate and inspire. Their goal is to create memories that last beyond the weekend and to foster a love for the outdoors that inspires conservation for future generations.
The conversation delves into Kansas' love for the outdoors, why he holds the title of "Head Adventurer," and the processes behind building Pakmule's products. Kansas provides insight into the ethos driving Pakmule's cargo carriers, emphasizing the importance of making outdoor adventures easier and more enjoyable for everyone.
