    has closed up shop .... OUT OF BUSINESS .... I have purchased from both thru the years ... liked the Merino Wool base layers ... looked at Camofire daily (usually) ... drats ..

    It’s with a heavy heart that we share that BlackOvis and Camofire are closing operations.


    For years, we’ve had the privilege of serving one of the most passionate outdoor communities in the world: the hunting community. Thank you for your loyalty, feedback, laughs, and trust.
    Our mission was simple: make great gear accessible to hunters and outdoor adventurers. Whether you were a new customer last month or a customer since 2008, together we built a brand and movement that far exceeded the humble beginnings in a basement. For that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.


    From all of us — thank you for being part of the journey.

    I hated to hear that. I would look at their ad every morning. I thought they had some pretty decent deals from time to time. I too especially liked their merino wool products. I knew something was up when they didnt post an ad for several days and then it finally said they were shutting down

    I just checked the app and it just shuts down without even opening.

    I am devastated.
    My bank account rejoices.

    Seriously though, that sucks. Their customer service was honestly about as good as it gets. A few years back they worked really hard to fix an issue I had with an OnX promo code they were selling. They went direct with OnX and fixed the issue when OnX wouldn't even respond to my emails.

    I will also really miss their arrow shaft sales, but I have enough now to keep me in stock for several seasons. Yes, even the way I shoot.

    Heard they were /are filing for bankruptcy.

    Which begs my follow up question…who picks up their inventory?

    There are a few other non hunting brands worth a look for merino: ibex & minus 33 come to mind.

    I will vouch for the minus 33 stuff. I own some of their expedition weight pieces and it is super warm and soft. It's expensive but very good
