Ignore all pictures you see on google. The company will not let you inside. They do not have a store front. I can’t find this information readily available until you drive all the way there and they have a low quality printed paper on their door.

What an amazing company. Without going through the whole story I can say that I had an issue with an order of equipment that was caused not by the Self Reliance but by the shipping company. But SR stepped up and saved our Xmas. I highly recommend them. Wonderful people. I can’t thank them enough.

I Recently received my highly anticipated Pathfinder Scout Pack from SRO and it did not disappoint. The pack was the new Earth Brown and the material seemed very rugged and all buckles and straps felt strong and high quality. The roll top design worked great for packing my gear effectively and making the most of the space. The packs two water bottle pocuhes were fantastic, almost no packs I found online have this feature. Thanks alot. Customer for life.

Showroom is not open to the public!I have bought things from PF in the past, and attended an event at the store a few years ago. I was driving though the area and altered my route to go spend some money. The website lists hours M-F 9 to 5, which led me to believe this was store hours(guessing this is for phone orders now).Wasted drive out to the location. Probably best to note that there's no walk-in at the location

You cant really leave honest reviews on their products on the website. It goes through a different website for "product reviews" ... was going to leave an actual review on their website but theres no way to do that... box was smashed on arrival and marked from the USPS as damaged upon pickup. if this is how the products come from this place i think i would rather not deal with them and deal with anyone else who takes more care with products being sent to customers. Luckily this package wasnt fragile and hopefully wasnt damaged due to the box being smashed....

Mostly, overpriced, antiquated, heavy, Chinese garbage. No experts recommend half of this overweight gear, only bushcraft youtube and instagram, which is all about the aesthetics. They purposely choose outdated and antiquated materials for their gear because it looks cool, even though no experts recommend purposely carrying subpar gear, especially not for bushcraft which is the practice of survival skills. Guess people are forgetting that.

I placed an order in October 2022. I have not received it! I was told that UPS had my order in Ho Chi Minh City. And I needed to contact them! I told SRO that I had no way to contact them and told them where to have UPS deliver my order again! It's now April 17,2023 and I haven't heard anything and I still HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY ORDER! The shipping on this order was actually way more expensive than the items ordered! I am truly upset with the runaround I've received from SRO. And the terrible customer service! If they can't deliver my order then I should receive a FULL REFUND for my order including the expensive UPS shipping charge! I can't seem to contact SRO other than making an expensive overseas phone call! I will not be purchasing any more products from SRO! And will tell all of my fellow friends in the camping and bushcraft community of this horrible experience! I'm hoping maybe this might get their attention and make this situation right! Sincerely, Sam Adler

Be advised it is online shopping only despite saying it is in-person shopping. We drove 1 hour out of our way on our trip only to find we wasn’t allowed in to shop.

This company no longer has a retail store and sells completely online. So still open just no walk ins.

I have purchased quite a bit of gear from SRO. I've never been let down by the quality and the customer service. I do wish all of their gear was american made. I recently purchased the PKS Scorpion with Curly Maple handle and leather sheath. Extremely happy! Great solid knife and thick high quality durable leather sheath. Keep up the great work! Merry Christmas!!!

Nevermind. If I can only order online then I might as well go to Amazon. Free shipping. Get it in 1 or 2 days. Easy returns. Huge selection. Better pricing.I will keep searching for a physical location that has the item I am looking for, if I can't find a store, then I will order on Amazon. Get it tomorrow.Good luck

The Pathfinder School is as fraudulent as Dave's resume for Dual Survival. Most of the instructors stand around while one does nearly all the work. One instructor was particularly rude, making fun of some students who asked questions. All the skills "taught" in these "courses" could easily be learned online, for free with just a little motivation. Regarding the Pathfinder School's facilities, it doesn't help that the outhouses are crawling with spiders. You would think with how expensive everything is from Self Reliance Outfitters -- including Pathfinder School "courses" -- that basic maintenance would be a thing. Overall, between the poor quality "courses" and facilities, it doesn't take someone with half a brain to see that there's a reason Dave Canterbury got canned by the Discovery Channel. [EDIT] (One more thing worth mentioning: If nothing I said above resonates, consider the fact that a Pathfinder instructor left a Google review... seems a little suspicious.)

I highly suggest you guys to look at all the reviews on their website. You will not find negative reviews on ANY of their items and classes. Somehow someway they are able to cherry pick them. I know this for a fact as I have had 3 items and one was a 1 star the others were 4 and as you guessed it the one start never showed up. My co-worker had issues with the new pathfinder wattle botttle carrying case and they never posted his review either. That’s why I am here. As a business owner myself I know google reviews show up good or bad. Here is my issue. # 1 I purchase several hundred dollars worth of gear on Thursday the day before Labor Day. I log in the next day to see they introduced a huge Labor Day sale where everything was 20% off. My package hadn’t shipped out and I called the office, left a voicemail and emailed . I was asking if they would go ahead and give me the sale price ? Or even give me the difference in store credit. I was told nope sorry they can’t do anything. I than said well I’ll return it and repurchase it. I was told no the wouldn’t do that. The package than took almost 1 month to arrive. Well I’m exaggerating a little but 22 days and me constantly emailing them is flat out unacceptable. #2 they are constantly out of EVERYTHING. #3 Customer service is terrible!#4 they don’t show true reviews.Other than that I’m not hating on their products 99 percent of them are awesome. I love the expensive wool blanket, on of the best purchases in a long time, the scout pack, hammock , love the gear. Just be aware of issues with returns.

I bought the stainless steel bottle cooking kit and I absolutely love it. Thank you for making good quality products that are trustworthy. I look forward to signing up for your survival courses soon.
