Vargo Outdoors began as a website devoted to providing information on backpacking technique and offered various hiking checklists. Their original URL was hike-advice.com. The site was not a money making venture, just a place to publish ideas on backpacking. It was a few years later, around 2002, that they converted the site to an ecommerce shopping site, changed to vargooutdoors.com and began selling products. The next leap occurred a year later when they began designing and manufacturing backpacking equipment. They started with tent stakes, then stoves, then a mug and kept expanding. In 2008 they added a watersports line called the DriSeal Series. Today, they offer about 75 items under the Vargo name.
