Born in Yosemite,
Built in the Hill Country
Paramedic. Trail Guide. Gearhead. BOX Builder.
Our founder and company namesake Jon Letteer has been working in outdoor spaces since the mid aughts – as a wilderness therapy field guide in East Texas, to trail building in Oregon and Idaho, to becoming a nationally registered paramedic. Add to this his years slinging gear in one of Texas’ biggest outdoor retailers, and Jon has the perfect set of skills for the creation of the JONBOX. Jon takes wilderness safety seriously, and is stoked to aid others in accessing the outdoors.
JONBOX was born in Yosemite National Park when encroaching wildfires forced staff and guests to evacuate.
A makeshift camp was built on the backside of the park in the Sierra Mountains, and Jon had all the tools in his original “Jon Box” to keep the camp safe and comfortable for weeks.
Jon realized this could help save lives - whether it be for recreation or safeguarding against disaster. Jon got to work building the world’s first adventure toolbox.
JONBOX is packaged and manufactured in the Texas Hill Country, roughly 15 miles south of Austin.
