This isn’t just a hat—it’s a patch of honor. The Colorado Mountain Man Survival logo is where it all began. Before The Survival University became what it is today, CMMS was the real-deal launch point. It’s the core. The origin story. The soul of the operation.

Wearing this hat says, “I’ve been here since day one,” even if you haven’t. It reps Jason Marsteiner, the guy who started it all, and everything CMMS stands for—grit, dirt, cold mornings, firelight, and not dying in the backcountry.

Whether you’re busting out traps, teaching students, or just trying to look like you know what a ferro rod is, this cap’s got your back.

Black (classic), Khaki (tacticool), Olive (tree-blender), and Stone (dirt hides on it best)
