Rainy Days

I've been sick for the last few days, sleeping on and off on my couch while watching horror films or -- I'll admit it -- back to back to back episodes of House Hunters. I made a treasury on Etsy that seemed to fit for a nice cozy, rainy day -- hopefully not everyone has to be sick on the couch to enjoy a bit of down time.

I love this company, their stuff, and the videos they make about it all.

I'd take either one of these locations in a heartbeat right now, but the rain on the city streets outside isn't half bad, either.

Urban Camp Supply Co. - The Beginning

Thanks so much for visiting the Urban Camp Supply Co. blog!

I hope to use this space to keep my customers and fans up to date on my shop
(visit Urban Camp Supply Co. on Etsy)
and to contribute to the aesthetic of the company through photos, videos, and stories related to the great outdoors.

So for starters, a little bit about me, where I come from, and what inspired me to start my curated collection shop.

Obviously, I wasn't always a vegetarian...

I often refer to myself as a "displaced hillbilly". Although I was born in upstate New York, my parents made the decision to go "back to the land" when I was around 3 years old, so I had the fantastic good luck of being raised in rural Virginia. I grew up surrounded by mountains, woods, red dirt roads, and a variety of animals. I skinned my knees, rode a pony, shot my BB gun, and camped out in my backyard when I played "Civil War" with my sister and neighbors -- an imaginative game that mostly involved shooting with my aforementioned BB gun at trees, cooking Vienna Sausages over a campfire, and practicing my Rebel Yell.

We didn't have cable, we rarely got to go to the mall, our school gave kids a week off for the opening of hunting season... and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

But like a lot of country-raised kids, I wanted to take a shot at being a little fish in a big pond, and in 2008 I made the move, Beverly Hillbillies-style with my belongings tied to the top of my station wagon, to the beautiful city of Chicago.

The saying is true -- you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl. I live in one of the most exciting neighborhoods in the city, I ride a bike instead of driving a pickup truck... but there's still a part of my heart that aches when I see a picture of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and I'd still like to spend most of my weekends camping or hiking.

I started my shop to bring a bit of that backwoods aesthetic to the city, and to share the quality and comfort of beautiful vintage and handmade products with others. Even here in the city, I keep my apartment much like I would a cabin in the woods -- my kitchen design is punctuated with more chicken figurines than I care to admit to, I still cook on cast iron skillets, and my couch is draped in flannel.

My shop is pretty new, so the selection is a bit scanty right now, but continue to check back as it grows. I'm hoping to add more handmade items over the Winter, such as candles and my Dad's homemade soaps, and the curated and vintage collection will continue to grow.

Thanks so much for visiting, and have a beautiful day y'all!
