The Problem. The Solution. The Contact.

Every hiker, biker, camper, and worker has been there: you need to hang your pack for a moment, but there's nothing to hang it on. Traditional S-hooks and carabiners need a pre-existing anchor—a rail, a peg, a post. In the field, those don't always exist. So your gear ends up on the ground, wet, dirty, and in the way.

barqHook solves that. Its q-shaped spring steel design features an ice axe-inspired tip that grips tree bark, concrete edges, rock faces, chain-link fences, and more—creating a secure anchor point wherever you need one. One-handed operation means fast attach and fast go. The q-shape keeps your bag flat and stable, not swinging. Compact enough to carry anywhere.

The Story Behind barqHook

Thomas Dunkerley of Spokane, Washington knows what it's like to be out on the trail, at a job site, or in the middle of an adventure and have nowhere to put your gear. S-hooks need a rail. Carabiners need a loop. And if neither exists, your pack goes on the ground—wet, dirty, and in everyone's way.

That frustration led Thomas to design barqHook—a q-shaped spring steel hook with an ice axe-inspired tip that grips tree bark, rock faces, concrete edges, chain-link fences, and nearly any other surface. No pre-existing anchor needed. One hand. Any place. It's compact, lightweight, and has already passed successful beta testing across a range of outdoor activities.

barqHook is patent pending and ready for market. Thomas is seeking manufacturing, retail, wholesale, distribution, or licensing partners to bring this gear-hanging solution to outdoor enthusiasts, workers, and adventurers everywhere.
