About Us

"If adventure has a final and all-embracing motive, it is surely this: we go out because it is our nature to go out, to climb mountains, and to paddle rivers, to fly to the planets and plunge into the depths of the oceans...When man ceases to do these things, he is no longer man." —Wilfrid Noyce

Established in 2014, Compass & Campfire is an ambitious new retailer on the outdoor scene. We believe passionately in the importance of travel and adventure in people's lives and we aim to provide the guidance and the gear to make it happen. Whether it's camping, hiking, cycling, climbing, or canoeing, we've got you covered. Our passion for the outdoors drives who we are and what we do and our professionalism and expertise enable us to deliver an exceptional experience for all of our customers.

We don't just want to sell products—we want to inspire you to get outdoors, to discover new places, meet new people and try new things. To that end, you will find amongst the pages of our site countless tips and tricks, stories, guides and tutorials, resources, reviews, and more.

We want to hear from you, too—if you've got an interesting or inspiring real-life story to share about your travels or adventures, please get in touch.
