A Tale of Two Hoodies

A Tale of Two Hoodies

The quest for sustainable clothing can take the conscious consumer down a rabbit hole of material sourcing, electrical grids, transportation impact, disposal of waste, and more. It is overwhelming. 

There is, however, one straightforward place to start.  Consumers can compare the distance a garment has traveled from start to finish. The fuel used and carbon released to transport items increases with every mile. The shorter distance almost always has a lower carbon footprint.

Preserving Tradition: Burgeon’s New Sign Shows Commitment To Gorham

Preserving Tradition: Burgeon’s New Sign Shows Commitment To Gorham

As you meander through New Hampshire, remnants of its history in manufacturing emerge along the drive. Along the riverbanks of quaint towns, fossils of the industrious textile, shoe, and other mill-powered factories stand as a memory of its once productive past. Now, most New England’s factories have fallen silent and with them, the skill and expertise to create these items has become lost and forgotten. It is therefore not only inspiring, but perhaps nostalgic as Burgeon strives to build its manufacturing operation in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Focused on the Next 5 Years

Five years ago today, Burgeon Outdoor hired its first employee, signed the lease for our Lincoln location, and then promptly went hiking. Justin Walsh (our first employee) and I stopped off at Half Baked and Fully Brewed, grabbed a couple sandwiches, and headed to Lonesome Lake.
What I'm bringing to thru-hike a new route from Mexico to Canada

What I'm bringing to thru-hike a new route from Mexico to Canada

As I head out on my 3,000 mile Divide to Crest Route from the southern terminus of the CDT to the northern terminus of the PCT, I've been honing in my gear so I have exactly what I need. The route will go through many variations of desert and forest and will require gear that will be suitable for both climates.
Tim wears the Franconia Mid Layer

Meet Tim Viveiros

Tim has been with Burgeon for close to two years now, and it’s hard to say where we’d be without him. Quickly orienting himself to the retail side of things, in short order he started wrapping his head around general operations, events, process improvements, and even sewing machine repairs. His perennial curiosity, affability, and adaptability have made him particularly well-suited to his dynamic role as Burgeon’s Director of Operations, and I know I speak for the whole team when I say he’s a cornerstone of the Burgeon community. 
Divide to Crest Announcement

Divide to Crest Announcement

In April, I'll begin a 3,000 mile hike connecting the southern terminus of the Continental Divide Trail to the northern terminus of the Pacific Crest Trail. The route uses a mix of established trails, backcountry routes, jeep roads and off-trail travel to connect two iconic thru-hiking landmarks.
