Hi, I'm Laurence. Like many Aussies, my best memories involve a 4WD, a remote track, and a spot by the water. But for years, "camp busywork" ate away at the magic of those trips. I’d arrive at a pristine spot just as the sun was setting (the absolute best time of day) only to spend the next 45 minutes wrestling with bendy poles and sweating over getting the bed set up. By the time I finally sat down, the sunset was gone, my back was sore, and the relaxation I’d driven hours for felt further away than ever.

I realised we’d been sold a lie that experiencing the great outdoors has to somehow involve a struggle. Looking at the market, I saw two extremes: flimsy gear that wouldn't survive an Aussie thunderstorm, or retail giants charging $500 for a speck of convenience. I started RoamStead because I knew there had to be a better way. Gear for people just like me who want rugged, high-quality gear without the "big-box" markup or the setup headache.

Today, our mission is simple: to give you back your time and protect that "magic hour." We’ve obsessed over the hinges, fabric tension, and ergonomic support so you don’t have to. I’m proud to say we’ve helped over 5,000 Aussies skip the setup and get straight to the good part of camping. We are still a small team, and every order truly matters to us. We’ve done the hard work, testing every piece of gear in the conditions we love, so you can focus entirely on the moments that actually matter.
