  • Ep 126: Kansas Sartin: Chief Adventurer Pakmule Cargo Carriers
    Nov 6 2024

    In this episode of The Storied Outdoors, we're thrilled to welcome Kansas Sartin, the Head Adventurer and Founder of Pakmule Cargo Carriers. Kansas shares his journey from struggling with the hassles of packing and organizing gear during outdoor trips to creating a game-changing solution for adventurers everywhere.

    The Origins of Pakmule Cargo Carriers

    As a passionate outdoorsman, Kansas experienced firsthand the frustration of managing gear. From constantly asking, "How do I fit all this stuff?" to losing track of essential items like his camera, he knew there had to be a better way. After trying everything from plastic rooftop boxes to various hitch racks, nothing provided the safety, convenience, or ease of use he desired.

    In 2012, Kansas was inspired by the rigging on coastal fishing boats to create the original Pakmule. Its curved edges made it easy to maneuver, and the lightweight aluminum construction allowed it to haul large amounts of gear effortlessly. Whether it was a South Texas dove hunt or a family road trip to Colorado or Montana, Pakmule proved its reliability. From there, the legend of Pakmule grew, and today the brand offers a full range of cargo carriers and accessories designed to meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts.

    The Pakmule Mission

    Kansas and the Pakmule team are driven by a mission to help people enjoy the great outdoors while focusing on what truly matters—creating lasting memories with family and friends. Their innovative gear allows adventurers to spend more time on what they love and less time worrying about logistics. As they put it:

    "Our purpose is to design gear that helps people get away from it all and focus on what matters most: Good times with friends and family, pursuing hobbies that rejuvenate you, and creating memories that last well beyond the weekend. We want to inspire a love of the outdoors that drives conservation for future generations."

    Behind the Scenes with Kansas Sartin

    In this episode, we dive deep into Kansas's love for the outdoors, the reason behind his unique title of "Head Adventurer," and the meticulous processes used to create Pakmule’s exceptional products. Kansas also shares the ethos behind Pakmule’s design philosophy, giving us a glimpse into why their cargo carriers are more than just gear—they’re tools for adventure.
