About Trunk Hogs

Trunkhogs was born during our time in the mechanized infantry.

It started with a simple observation. While there was military merchandise in Germany, much of it focused on special forces, paratroopers, etc. For grenadiers and many regular troops, however, there was hardly anything that truly felt right.

That's precisely where we wanted to start.

The name Trunkhogs is our own interpretation of the term "Heckklappenschweine" (tailgate pigs), a tongue-in-cheek reference to our grenadier days and the origin of this brand.

What started with shirts, patches, and flags has grown over time. Through the support of our community, new ideas, new projects, and eventually the topic of equipment were added.

This particular area became increasingly exciting for us because it allowed us to incorporate our own experiences from our active service. Often, it wasn't about reinventing everything, but about finding better solutions for small details – things that always bothered us about existing equipment.

In doing so, we don't want to take ourselves too seriously. Trunkhogs is not meant to be a brand that spouts grand slogans or creates an artificial hero story out of every idea. We are about good products, honest development, humor, and a community that understands the vibe.

Today, Trunkhogs is developing step by step, from a small hobby project to a brand with its own equipment division, new collaborations, and further ideas for the future.

Our new motto Truth in Action pretty well describes how we want to work. Not too much talking, but doing, testing, improving, and being honest about what works, but also about what doesn't.

Thanks to everyone who has accompanied Trunk Hogs this far: our community, our partners, and everyone who has contributed feedback, support, and trust.
