Black ovis/camofire going out of business?

[roosiebull]

I'm gonna need a new source for their wool gloves too. I woulda ordered a dozen pairs had I known this was coming.

First lite are fine, or buffalo wool company if you aren’t prone to losing gloves

For Merino Wool base layers and undies, I would highly suggest Duckworth. 100% manufactured in the USA from Montana Sheep.

I tested some in Alaska this year. I was impressed with the high warmth and speed in which they dried in the tent after some miles in the rain and snow. Comfortable too.

You won't get them for Made in China prices, but if you like supporting American ranchers and businesses...check it out.

Dunno how much it hurt but I know I ceased spending money with them over it. That one email reply they sent someone about how the poacher muley freak was posting interesting updates from his side of things was weird, its like the poach muley freak wrote the email himself type of weird. Even if they wanted to give the benefit of the doubt while in court the convictions aren't up for debate, they happened and yet they continued to carry gear from the poacher muley freak. Can't say I hoped for them going out of business, I personally hoped they'd do the right thing an sever ties with the poacher muley freak.

I for sure think it was written by him. I believe at one point I heard that MF was running their social media.

I also messaged them with my disdain for carrying MF products. While I admit that I did make a couple of purchases afterwards, they definitely fell off of my "go to" list. I started looking elsewhere, often GoHunt.

I can't help but imagine that having some number of people make similar decisions had to hurt.

Add up a number of people deciding not to buy, economy/tariffs, market competition, and slim margins. It was probably a "death by 1000 cuts" scenario.

Side note: I believe there was a knife company with some level of MF partnership that was having trouble filling orders. That could be a common thread...

I seem to recall that being mentioned around back then. Honestly I sorta wonder if black ovis actually know they pushed away customers over the poacher muley freak or if that information was being filtered out from reaching them.

Goat Knives

Thread 'Goat Knives ghosting me?'

Sep 5, 2024

I ordered a Capra Hunter Ti from Goat website on August 15, which is 21 days ago. No response to two emails I've sent, and no shipping notification. If I haven't heard anything by Monday I'm reporting a fraudulent transaction to my cc co. Can't think of a valid excuse for taking payment and then ghosting customers for 3 weeks.

I went to their zip hoodie to replace the one I had from black ovis (when I no longer wanted to support a business that had ties to the poacher muley freak), its solid. I don't see it listed on their site though, it was the vapor snorkel.

What truck, bow, and rifle does MF use?

Maybe this is the way I can justify some upgrades.

He shoots a Mathews, but isn't endorsed by them.

By golly!! Sounds like your email and boycott closed their doors!

Another case of one keyboard warrior’s ethical protest changing the world for the better. LOL.

You have already spent that money. Sunk cost. Purchasing elsewhere will help how?

 

[Kscamoninja]

Does anyone else have a pending order with them? I get a hard pounding sensation in the back side when I look up my recent order (Oct 15) with it saying "shipping label made" and not picked up or on the way.

 

[HTNFSH]

I sent a pair of Crispi boots back and were delivered last Monday. No credit back on my card. I too logged a dispute with my cc. My guess, im out the $350.00 based.on what im reading.

Man, I had to Google it to find out what the heck was going on with CF and found this. Now I know. That’s too bad.


This was my experience too actually. I bought 3 different merino pieces and none of them lasted more than a week literally.

Still, they had a lot of other cool stuff, and I’m sad to see them go.

Ive had the complete opposite experience. My BO merino is going on 5 years old and Im very hard on gear. Wore the soles off of brand new Kenetreks in 2 seasons for example. That BO merino tops lasted 4 years. The bottoms lasted 3 years. I still have the hoody and wore it this past weekend its at the 5 year mark. Its my favorite piece.

I wish you were right but I doubt it. Just like people still watch the NFL like it is their religion while they support the woke left destroying the country.

Yes. I ordered a bunch of peak refuel and socks on the 17th. Received them today. Fastest shipping ever from Black Ovis.

Gonna have to look into the MF situation. I guess it doesn’t matter now but I’ve followed black Ovis for years. Bought tons of stuff. The only time I ever read or heard anything about this guy was on this forum very recently.

He has multiple convictions. During his last time in court folks questioned BO about continuing to carry his products. They ignored most folks but replied to one saying he had been posting new details in his defense. Well he lost in court still. And BO continued to support the brand and ignore people questioning it.

There is speculation of him doing work for them too but not sure it they has been verified.
