Barrel Band
The Barrel Band was created by two guys who love the outdoors. Each had a desire to create a ring that was different from everything else out there. They wanted something that was functional, stylish and represented who they are and what they loved to do. They wanted something that wasn’t flashy or trendy, but they knew it had to have value because of what a wedding ring actually stands for. Most jewelry today is made overseas in order to save money on production costs. Barrel Band wanted to make it a point to keep everything here in the United States regardless of monetary loss. They are based out of Lakeland, Florida, where the majority of all the work is done. Each Barrel Band is meticulously handcrafted by metalsmiths who not only boast a combined experience of over 70 years in the industry, but are also known by the quality of craftsmanship they produce. The Barrel Band comes in three variations—Silver Platinum Classic, White Gold Classic and Yellow Gold Classic—and it’s available in both 14kt white and yellow gold. BarrelBand.com

Sportswomen United
Sportswomen United was created with encouragement in mind. Although we have seen a rise in the number of women in the outdoor industry, founder Courtney Riser fears beginners may get discouraged early on. It is still very common to see women put one another down online with the rise in social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. Riser knows everyone has been guilty of judging others at least once, but hopes that Sportswomen United can help women come together and support each other. Sportswomen United provides reviews and honest feedback on products they have used before, letting others know what has or has not worked for them. They share their hunting, fishing or outdoor stories and experiences, whether they are good or bad. With these reviews and stories posted to their blog, they hope to provide tips and support that will ultimately encourage more women to get involved in the outdoors. SportsWomenUnited.com
