Eagles Nest Outfitters

In the summer of 1999 two brothers Peter and Paul Pinholster decided to step out on a limb, leaving behind the traditional work place and make hanging out their full time occupation.

But everybody's gotta work right?

However they wanted something that would not only challenge them but also be laid back. Allowing them to live their lives in no particular way but their own. Starting with a sewing machine, and a vision they began sewing hammocks and slap straps in their sister's garage.

The plan was to travel the East coast (in a seen better days mini van) vending at music festivals and community gatherings along the way. Thus making their van home they lived out of it wherever it was parked and dedicated all available energy and resources into making and selling the most comfortable hammocks in the world.

The response was beyond expectations and soon the boys found themselves with more business than they could handle. While vending at festivals along the Appalachian trail a familiar face suggested Asheville, NC as a home base And so it was that two brothers Pete and Paul found themselves high up on the Blue Ridge Mountains continuing to set forth the building blocks to what is now a strong, thriving company that continues to supply hammocks and accessories to like minded people, not only out their back door but around the world as well.
