Bushmen Travel Gear is a Polish outdoor brand founded in 2010 by a family with an exploration heritage dating back to the 1950s, when the founders' ancestors — under the command of Captain Bolesław Kowalski — charted the waterways of the Red Sea under the flag of the Polish Geographical Society. That multigenerational tradition of adventure and discovery became the foundation for a brand that modernizes proven outdoor solutions by combining deep-rooted expertise with contemporary technology. Bushmen products are carried by the best military, survival, and outdoor retailers in Poland and worldwide.
Philosophy: classic, refined
Bushmen doesn't reinvent the wheel — it perfects what generations of field use have already proven. The brand stays focused on what matters most: durability, functionality, and minimum weight, so that carrying Bushmen gear feels as effortless and unobtrusive as possible. Every product is put through rigorous testing in extreme conditions: from Southern Africa and the Sahara to the fjords of Norway, from the Krakowsko-Częstochowska Upland to Mount Fuji. Testing is uncompromising — gear is torn, overloaded, bent, cut, and destroyed so that each iteration comes back stronger, better, and more efficient. Leave no trace is a guiding motto that extends to packaging choices and rail freight deliveries.
Bushbed hammocks and shelters
The flagship product line is the Bushbed hammock: rugged, comfortable, and built around a unique integrated bug net system that deploys quickly anywhere in the world. Available in several colorways and sizes, the Bushbed has earned a loyal following among bushcrafters, trekkers, and travelers looking for a lightweight alternative to a tent. Wide tree straps with soft rubber inserts protect bark — a direct expression of the Leave no trace philosophy.
Tarps and thermal products
The hammock range is complemented by Thermo-Tarp shelters: tarps with a thermoreflective layer that work like NRC foil but deliver significantly better performance. Available in pole-supported and tree-hung configurations, Bushmen tarps serve equally well as emergency shelters in survival kits and as ultralight field shelters on the trail. A thermal blanket, bivy bag, and additional products from the thermal insulation line round out the offering for survival and bushcraft users.
Accessories and firesteel
Beyond hammocks and tarps, Bushmen offers a range of survival accessories: paracord, Firesteel Rebel strikers, ultralight carabiners, and other compact field tools. Every item is engineered for minimum weight and maximum utility in the field.
