Our Story

Founded in 2015 by a group of passionate outdoor enthusiasts, Tip Beacon began as a small venture with a big dream: to make high-quality outdoor equipment accessible to every Canadian adventurer.

What started in a small warehouse in Vancouver has grown into Canada's premier destination for camping and tourism equipment. Our founders, experienced hikers and campers themselves, understood the frustration of poor-quality gear failing when you need it most.

Today, we serve over 10,000 satisfied customers across Canada, from weekend warriors to professional outdoor guides. Our commitment to quality, service, and the outdoor community remains at the heart of everything we do.
