ABOUT US

Kit Fox Outfitters started the way many good adventures do — over a couple of beers in an Irish pub. In the spring of 2014, a husband-and-wife team sat down with a shared love for the outdoors and a big idea: create an independent outdoor gear shop that also teaches the skills people need to explore safely and confidently.

That idea became Kit Fox Outfitters.

We’re a veteran-owned, independent outdoor shop based in Ramona, California — known as the Gateway to Adventure. From Anza-Borrego to Mt. Laguna and everywhere in between, we’re here to support the outdoor community with:

  • Quality, dependable gear
  • CPR & First Aid training
  • Wilderness First Aid (WFA)
  • Wilderness First Responder (WFR)
  • And other essential certification courses

Whether you’re brand new to the outdoors or a seasoned adventurer, our goal is simple: help you get outside safely and prepared.

Meet the Owner

Colin Macdonald, Owner & CEO, grew up exploring California’s Central Coast, especially Big Sur and the Carmel Highlands. Following his father into the fire service, he attended the Monterey Peninsula Fire Academy in 1999 and served as a Paid Call Firefighter, building a strong foundation in emergency medicine.

In 2000, Colin joined the United States Marine Corps, where he worked on aircraft for 12 years and earned the Sikorsky Life Saving Award for his role in a pilot rescue. After his military service, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership from National University and continued his medical training as an EMT and Wilderness First Responder.

He is a certified instructor through organizations including:

  • American Heart Association
  • American CPR Training
  • HSI
  • Mountain Training Network
  • Sierra Rescue International

Today, Colin combines his background in emergency medicine, aviation, and instruction to make outdoor experiences safer and more accessible for everyone.

So let’s Get the Fox Out There.
Throw a sticker on your gear, tag us in your adventures, and you might just become Kit Fox famous (ish).
