Trail-Tested. Dirt-Born. Built for the Wild.
 

I didn’t grow up dreaming of starting a brand. I grew up surviving.
 

TrailGuard was born in the dirt, somewhere between mile markers on the Appalachian Trail, hiking with my young daughter London and my adult son Conor. No sponsors. No shortcuts. Just a backpack, worn boots, and a mission to carry only what matters.

Out there, stripped to the essentials, it hit me, most hygiene products are built for store shelves, not the backcountry. They leak, weigh too much, or pack more fluff than function. So we came home and started building what we couldn’t find: ultralight, biodegradable hygiene gear that actually works when it counts.
 

We’ve been in the trenches ever since, mixing, testing, refining. Every balm, powder, and stick we make is:
 

• 100% biodegradable

• Rugged, natural, and TSA-safe

• Small-batch crafted

• Tested by real people, in real dirt
   

TrailGuard is made for prepared dads, backcountry hunters, off-grid families, ultralight hikers, anyone who knows that when things get real, your gear better hold up.
 

This is more than hygiene.
It’s about readiness, resilience, and self-reliance.
It’s your shield in the wild.
 

Thanks for walking this trail with us.
