HuntCrafted provides an online shop for handcrafted goods.
Buying and selling handmade outdoor goods just got a little easier, thanks to the online marketplace HuntCrafted. Now in its second year, the site (which is modeled after Etsy) features a variety of work from hundreds of makers selling everything from duck calls to fishing lures to nature-themed artwork and jewelry. For HuntCrafted co-founder and CEO Miles Sims, launching the site was more than just an attempt to combine his background in software and love of the outdoors—it was about supporting the artists. “Our main focus is trying to showcase the guys and gals who are making this stuff, and the story behind why they’re doing,” he explains. Sellers on the marketplace can list items for free. In return, HuntCrafted collects a 10-percent flat commission fee from each sale. Sims and his team also offer additional support to help sellers best showcase their creations, as well as a platform for sellers to publish blog posts, wild game recipes, tips and more. While hunting and fishing items are the most popular on the site at this time, Sims says to keep an eye out for more camp-specific offerings. huntcrafted.com
