Welcome to the Alaska General Store.


January 2011

We are dedicated to reviving, sustaining and re-introducing useful quality products for indoors, outdoors and personal use.

Here at the end of the trail, we hang on to our possessions for a long time.  Often, when we go to replace them we discover they have been discontinued.  It would appear that many companies, regardless of size, are driven more by bean counting than offering useful products and customer service.  Every time we see a company that says “we care” we want to gag. “Care” about what?

Even our favorite companies like Eddie Bauer, L.L. Bean, Patagonia , REI and Duracell abandon fine products because their business model does not allow for low turn over or small quantities or no change year to year.  New and improved is rarely the case.

We are fortunate to have the backing of a prosperous affiliated company so that we can pledge to make products and then keep them in stock as long as at least a few customers want them.

We are working on a long list and would welcome your suggestions and additions.  One of our first efforts is the classic “White True Rib Wool Athletic Sock”.  We have tried all we can find, and they dissolve after too few washes.  Wigwam stated they could no longer get the wool.  This is patently not true as we know from our sheep farm in the lower 48. We will favor organic materials where feasible and available and feature made in the USA .

We look forward to your feed back and plan to have products available in 2012.
