Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

About Stag & Stow Co.

What is Stag & Stow Co.?
Stag & Stow Co. is a veteran-owned lifestyle brand and digital publication built around travel, craftsmanship, and storytelling. We document real experiences—from local escapes to gear runs—and offer branded apparel that reflects our philosophy: Built with Grit. Guided by Purpose.

Do you create your own products?
Yes. We design all Stag & Stow Co. apparel and accessories in-house. Our production partner, Printful, fulfills and ships each order. Every product is made to order, which reduces overproduction and waste while keeping quality front and center.

Where are you based?
We’re proudly headquartered in Miami, Florida—shaped by its culture, diversity, and creative energy.

Is Stag & Stow Co. veteran-owned?
Yes. Our founder is a U.S. veteran, and the values learned in uniform—discipline, authenticity, and resilience—inform everything we create and recommend.

What does “Built with Grit. Guided by Purpose.” mean?
It’s not a slogan. It’s our creed. We highlight experiences, tools, and stories that demand effort, build character, and push you toward a more intentional life.

Travel, Media & Storytelling

What kind of stories do you feature?
We tell two kinds of stories:

• Real-world recon – city escapes, neighborhood hangs, food, drink, and gear field reports from Miami and beyond.

• World-building and character work – original narrative projects like Founder and grounded series like Bendito Hustle that explore grit, faith, ambition, and the cost of purpose in different worlds.

What is Founder?
Founder is an original dark fantasy world I’m building across film, fiction, and future media. It’s a mountainous, coastal, ancient world carved open by five supernatural “wounds,” haunted by demons, broken kingdoms, and old faith. At its center is a marked wanderer called Founder—a living scar trying to keep the world from tearing itself apart.

On this page, you’ll see Founder show up through written chapters, scripts, concepts, and visual experiments that live alongside our travel and gear work.

What is Bendito Hustle?
Bendito Hustle is a grounded, real-world storytelling series about the grind, grace, and hustle of people building lives, businesses, and creative work in Miami and beyond. Think conversations, portraits, and short-form stories about people carrying grit and faith into everyday work.

Do you tell stories beyond written articles?
Yes. Storytelling runs through everything we do. Beyond written field reports, this page will house:

• Short video pieces and visual stories

• Founder chapters, character work, and world-building drops

• Bendito Hustle episodes and profiles

• Behind-the-scenes looks at how trips, shoots, and projects actually come together

As these roll out, this FAQ page will link directly into them so you can move from a restaurant review to a Founder chapter to a Bendito Hustle piece in a couple of clicks.

Do you get paid for your travel content?
Sometimes. We partner with select travel brands, hospitality groups, and tourism boards when it makes sense. When a trip or experience is hosted or sponsored, we’ll say so clearly. All opinions remain independent.

Can I suggest a destination, story, or collaboration?
Yes. We’re open to destination ideas, collaboration pitches, and creative partnerships tied to travel, Founder, or Bendito Hustle. Email founder@stagandstow.com with a short outline and we’ll review it.

Gear & Recommendations

Do you sell or make the gear you review?
No. We don’t manufacture third-party gear. We test and recommend products from brands we trust. If you purchase through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you.

What kind of gear do you feature?
We focus on everyday carry, travel gear, apparel, and hosting essentials that blend design, durability, and purpose—tested in real-world conditions, not just unboxed on a desk.

How do you decide what to recommend?
We look for reliability, craftsmanship, and experience value. If it doesn’t hold up in the field, we don’t feature it. If our opinion changes after long-term use, we’ll update our notes.
