What. A. YEAR! 

2024 brought us so much at Hook & Barrel. It was a year of massive growthā€”we grew our team, subscribers and our followers on all things social. We saw the launch of our very first video series (Lights Outsā€”give it a watch if you havenā€™t already), with the promise of an even more innovative video series coming very soon.

To wrap up, we want to thank YOU for taking the time to read through our emails, sharing our brand with a friend and loving the outdoors just as much as we do. CHEERS to a huge 2025 - you ainā€™t seen nothinā€™ yet!
