The culture is shifting. You can feel it. As legalization takes root in more and more places, the full measure of what we mean when we say \u201ccannabis culture\u201d is beginning to reveal itself in some truly beautiful and surprising ways. It\u2019s here \u2014 in a place beyond close-up pictures of trichomes, impossibly high THC levels and dab rigs \u2014 that you\u2019ll find Dangle Supply Company, the industry\u2019s first company committed exclusively to the timeless joys of consuming cannabis in the Great Outdoors.<\/p>\n
Based in southwest Montana<\/a>, in the buzzy and adventure-minded community of Bozeman, Dangle is getting quite the good rep simply by making great outdoor gear and having plenty of fun along \u201cGrown-ups want nice, well-designed things that will last,\u201d says Adam Sklar, Dangle Supply Company\u2019s co-founder. \u201cAnd grown-ups also like to laugh. No one\u2019s more surprised than us that we\u2019re having success. It was a total accident to end up here.\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, the origin story<\/a> behind Dangle is a bit hazy. Started by a couple of bicycle nerds as a private joke back in 2018, Dangle is now a full-blown brand with a line of elegant titanium bongs and pipes purposefully built for adventure. With stockists all over the world, collabs with fashion and beer companies of international renown and a formidable social media presence that\u2019s the absolute apex of laugh-out-loud, PG-13 stoner humor, Dangle\u2019s success is no accident.<\/p>\n If their website and various media channels are to be believed, the company was actually started in 1969 by \u201cMr. Dan Gullbongs,\u201d a passionate cyclo-tour enthusiast who happened upon a rogue set of metallurgist monks in the Swiss Alps back in the mid-20th century. It was there that Dan learned the dark arts of making titanium tubes, a skill that he quickly parlayed into making water pipes that fit his preferred lifestyle of casual cruising, bicycles, car camping and nature. As the story goes, Dan then turned the company over to his son, one \u201cDanny Gullbongs,\u201d a boy with a natural-born penchant for business. And Dangle Supply was born \u2014 a company that lives and thrives at the intersection of weed and having fun in nature.<\/p>\n But \u201cDanny\u201d is actually Adam, a professional bike builder and longtime titanium wizard. And \u201cDanny Jr.,\u201d another main character in the Dangle backstory courtesy of their in-house myth-making, is Colin Frazer, a fellow co-founder, artist and graphic design professor at the California Institute of the Arts. In truth, the duo started Dangle as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the exploding popularity of bike-packing (going camping via bicycle) and the tradition of clipping gear to yourself or your bike frame (dangling).<\/p>\n \u201cAdam made ten bongs at first [as part of the joke] and we figured we\u2019d have a good laugh giving them away to friends,\u201d Frazer says. \u201cLike, this is the most ridiculous thing you could dangle type of joke. But we actually sold them, so we made 100 more. And we sold those out in a day. It sort of took off by itself from there.\u201d<\/p>\n But the success isn\u2019t just an internet fluke. Certainly, Sklar and Frazer stumbled upon a gaping hole in the market where cannabis consumers and outdoor recreation meet. In fact, they say that Dangle is primarily an outdoor company, one that reflects the new realities of cannabis culture in an increasingly legal landscape. There\u2019s also the fact that they just make great stuff. Have a session with their \u201cBig Ripper\u201d or toss fully loaded \u201cLettuce Wrap\u201d in your bag for a day in the backcountry and it quickly becomes clear that Dangle is much more than a well-executed joke; it\u2019s form and function balanced with a designer\u2019s eye and a cannabis lover\u2019s mind. Bomb-proof elegance that gets the job done and keeps it mellow along the way.<\/p>\n And then there\u2019s Ty, the face of Dangle. According to his email signature, Ty Baunghs is the company\u2019s official Operations Manager. But, he\u2019s also their spirit animal.<\/p>\n Bespectacled in large lens, thick-rimmed glasses and blessed with a dark and eye-catching beard, Baunghs is the long-haired, soft-spoken, jeans-and-boots-wearing, humble hero of Dangle\u2019s imagined universe. He goes fly fishing and catches himself dressed as a bong-smoking wild salmon. He strips to his undies and paints himself green before taking a toke in the forest on Earth Day. He makes PSAs for safety during fire season and tirelessly heads up quality control on the bong and pipe divisions.<\/p>\n In actuality, Ty is Taylor Wallace, a Texas-born Renaissance dude Adam and Colin brought on board just as their \u201clittle joke\u201d started to grow. Wallace, who runs the beloved Partner Coffee in Bozeman out of the back of a late model Ford Bronco, is a man of many talents. Almost immediately, Wallace helped Dangle streamline its customer support, bring all the company\u2019s order fulfillment in-house and enhance Dangle\u2019s storytelling antics. It was only a matter of time before \u201cTy\u201d started scheming with \u201cDan\u201d and \u201cDanny\u201d about how to best showcase the laid back and happy cannabis vibes that are at the very heart of Dangle Supply Company.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s about being able to casually enjoy something,\u201d Ty says about Dangle\u2019s appeal. \u201cFor me, that\u2019s a bong rip on a Sunday morning and then into the garage to rebuild my car\u2019s carburetor. I think a lot of people are attracted to that type of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n Ever wished you could hook a bong to your carabiner while backpacking through the great outdoors? Well, Dangle Supply Company is ready to make your next adventure more cannabis-friendly.\u00a0<\/p>\n Created by outdoorsy types for outdoorsy types, Dangle crafted the perfect indestructible bong to take on the trail. Weighing just 133 grams and clocking in at seven inches tall, the DangleBong Titanium Water Pipe is as easy to carry as it is to use. Simply fill the sleek chamber with water, attach the included 18mm UltraSucc titanium bowl piece filled with the strain of your choosing, and take a hit. Made from elemental, medical-grade titanium and equipped with extra percolation holes, the UltraSucc bowl delivers a super smooth pull every single time. Or if dabbing is more your style, swap the bowl out for your favorite compatible 18mm nail. Also included is one RubbPlugg silicone cap, which stops water spillage when you\u2019re on the move.<\/p>\n From camping and backpacking to cycling, jogging or kayaking, Dangle\u2019s unbreakable, non-reactive titanium pipe is ready to go \u2014 no more stressing over fragile glass pipes. They come in a few different colors: the classic raw titanium, as well as blue and orange speckle. These bongs are dishwasher safe, better for the environment, and they can be passed down for generations. Right up there with the head lamp, portable stove and sleeping pad, this trusty pipe will likely be added to your list of essentials when packing for your next outdoor excursion. \u2013 Gracie Malley<\/p>\n DangleBong Titanium Water Pipe<\/a> | $169.42<\/p>\n This story was originally published in issue 44 of the\u00a0print edition<\/a>\u00a0of Cannabis Now.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Getting High in Big Sky<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
