RK Lodge

Did they go under ?

Website doesn't seem to be operational and no Google search return. I hope they didn't, they were great company.

I think they did, Track of the Wolf is no longer listing tents. I think they carried RK lodges exclusively.

This makes me very sad.

They were a good company, but the fact is our sport is dying with out more younger people. There is not much market for new "primitive" tents. And there are a lot of used tents out there waiting to be used again.

Yes I think RK and Tent Smith are both gone, but before covid

Tentsmiths is still alive and well at last report. New owners, new energy.

I have a 10 ft. RK wedge that is at least 20 years old and has seen some pretty rough use still going strong, sad too hear they went under.

Richard would be in his early to mid 80s now, so I suspect he has retired (or "gone under").

All it takes is a phone call,,

Richard retired 20+yrs ago,, he sold RK to his daughter and son-in-law,, whom, carried on in the business successfully for many more years.
THEY, have now retired. They didn't "go under",, they're just enjoying a well deserved retirement.
