Our Pledge: $2 per radio to outdoor safety

Our Outdoor Safety Pledge is simple: $2 from every radio sold is donated directly to outdoor safety programs. As adventurers, we understand the balance between pushing limits and making it home safely. Our pledge helps fund search and rescue (SAR) teams and raise awareness around outdoor safety.

Supporting Safety in the Backcountry

Our annual Search & Rescue Award celebrates the incredible efforts of volunteer responders who risk their own safety to help others. They’re also part of a larger promise—to elevate outdoor safety awareness, fund critical resources, and foster a culture where pushing limits doesn’t mean compromising safety.
