A Mother's Day Story: Featuring McKenna Peterson
A Mother's Day Story: Featuring McKenna Peterson
A Stanley Brand Ambassador, in the summer, McKenna Peterson captains a commercial salmon fishing boat. Come winter, she is a professional big mountain skier traveling the world in search of big lines and soft snow. A Mother’s Lessons In Fishing And Health I am a commercial fisherman by trade, spending long summer days on the ocean in Alaska hunting and catching salmon. It is grueling yet rewarding work; the harvest of many pounds of fish to help feed the world. As the captain of my fishing operation, I make the decisions and hold the responsibility for my vessel and my crew. It is a high pressure, high stakes job where the stresses match the rewards. My mother is a fly fisherman at heart, our family home is surrounded by abundant rivers that carve through unspoiled wilderness and empty desert plains. She finds peace in being outside, rain or shine, fish biting or not. Mom’s relationship with fishing is much different than my own. Fly fishing and commercial fishing have little in common. I applaud the catching. Mom revels the process. Our differing approaches to angling are comedically evident when we fish together at home in Idaho. I, very much the beginner, need to be constantly reminded to approach the river quietly and with intent. Mom says “let it fish”, in response to my impatient cast and re cast. She replaces my fly when lost and helps to untangle my line when I would rather just cut it off and start over. Always calm, collected and with a smile; classic mother behavior. Since the world turned upside down and this pandemic became our new reality, I have been isolated at my mother’s house in Idaho. On March 17th, I started to feel sick. A headache and cough eventually progressed into crippling weakness, fever and fatigue. The sickness would come in waves, overwhelming my body as quickly as it would subside and then overwhelm again. Unexpected and severe. In a matter of days, my independent and confident lifestyle was capsized by fear and vulnerability. 32 years old; sick, scared and deeply confused about the future of our world, I am not feeling like the rugged captain of a fishing boat. The beautiful thing about family being that love supersedes age and autonomy, I am grateful to be in my childhood home. With diligence not to become sick herself, mom is helping me to navigate the ups and downs of this strange sickness. She consoles my worry and untangles my angst, reminding me to be gentle with myself and approach this challenge with patience. The healing process feels just like fishing, mom’s way. In between working from home, taking care of a sick daughter and being the rock of our family; mom escapes to the river. Our family text message chain has been flooded with photos of Rainbow Trout and German Browns, creek scenic and sunsets. It brings me joy to imagine my mother driving down dirt roads in the rain, looking for her secret fishing hole, excited for whatever the day will bring. She approaches the river calm, collected and always with a smile. ABOUT STANLEY The Stanley brand has a rich 100+ year history.

Winter Camping In The Sea To Sky Corridor, British Columbia
Winter Camping In The Sea To Sky Corridor, British Columbia
It’s January in the Sea to Sky corridor of British Columbia and warmer than normal temperatures from the current El Niño continue to play with our emotions as we sit around the table and enjoy a few of Canada's finest bottom shelf pilsners. With a lingering uncertainty of snow or rain in the days ahead our minds began to wonder what old man winter had in store for the future? A few beers later winter stoke kicked in and we boarded the pilsner buzz train heading full speed into internet space, analyzing local weather models and forecasts along the way in order to better guide us towards a powder paradise destination. Our journey to the internet and back led us to believe we had only a short window of opportunity for good snow and limited time to prepare. With powder on the brain and an urge to camp in the snow we scrambled our gear together and headed up the Sea to Sky gondola for a backcountry adventure. Upon exiting the gondola we were greeted with cooler temperatures and could see the snow line dancing in the trees not too far ahead. We cinched our ridiculously heavy packs to the shoulders and clicked in to tour mode. As we traveled up the valley, slowly but surely snowflakes began to fall gracefully from the sky as if to welcome our presence into the mountains. This phenomenon of snow forming from freezing water vapor in the atmosphere is rather simple in definition but incredible in its beauty and ability to coat the mountains white with a deep blanket of snow we call powder. One foot sliding in front of the other we left only but a disappearing trail behind as we continued up the valley watching the mountains as they faded from sight and into the clouds of old man winter's home. A few blissful hours later we found ourselves standing where the mountains meet the valley, a perfect spot for basecamp. With tired legs and achy backs we embraced snack time and rehydrated from our Stanley mugs. Daylight was becoming dim so we secured camp and hunkered down in a nearby clearing in the trees. The stoke was high as we burrowed into our insulated cocoons listening to the howling storm while snowflakes brushed along the walls of our tent. In the morning I peered through a small window of our tent to see the fresh snow that had fallen overnight. With an eager appetite I woke the others and prepared a healthy batch of coffee into my trusty Stanley Master Vacuum Bottle, enjoying the companionship and simple pleasures of camping. Knowing our window of opportunity would be short lived and the avalanche danger high in the alpine we kept our decision making conservative and rode some perfect low angle slopes adjacent to camp. Our powder paradise became a reality as Mother Nature provided us with bottomless turns all day, packing in as many laps as our legs could handle. As expected the weather saturated our paradise with rain but we continued to hoot and holler all the way back to camp where cold beers, whiskey and hot noodles awaited. We poured from our flasks into the evening reminiscing on past adventures and embarrassing moments. The stories became exaggerated and the laughs louder as I shared close quarters with my favorite people and as the snow we came for turned to rain, I slowly dozed off into a dreamy state with the potential of the next adventure on my mind.

2019: New Look, Same Old Soul
2019: New Look, Same Old Soul
For a 105 years, Stanley has been known as a classic symbol of being #BuiltForLife. While that can be hard to define, it’s easy to identify. It’s that inner badass that pushes us to do remarkable things and wring the most out of life. Much like the legendary strength of our products that now have a new look, born out of a century old legend. This new look includes the return of our old mythical bear. ABOUT THE STANLEY MYTHICAL BEAR The original bear symbol was born from the folklore of the Stanley brand, a recurring character in many of the stories we hear from our community. He made his debut with a crown that had lightning bolts around it as a nod to the inventor of the Stanley bottle, William Stanley, Jr. He has lived through a few different iterations over the years, while the epic stories keep coming. Since 1913 people have been telling us tales about being outside with their Stanley bottle, whether it be around a campfire, on the ranch, or wondering in the woods, when suddenly a bear shows up. Of course, nobody else was there to corroborate these adventures, and those who were,(?) may have had a few too many to remember. And so, the mythical bear was born. The Stories Tend To Go A Little Something Like This: Dear Stanley, My wife and I went camping. After a few drinks and swinging some tunes around the campfire, we decided to turn in for the night. I was fast asleep and could have sworn I was dreaming when I heard something ruffling around the tent—it was a bear. I woke up with adrenaline running through my veins, reached for my Stanley, and turned in the dark to hit the bear. I was aiming to be a hero, instead I ended up hitting my wife on the head. Well, she turned and whacked me on the side of my head. While the two of us saw stars, the bear didn’t want any part of this and hit the road. Sincerely, The guy with a wife tougher than his Stanley bottle These tall tales get bigger and wilder each time they are told. In fact, it’s why we love them so much. What better way to remind people that the best stories out there are the ones that get better over time and the ones you tell your friends around the campfire (while you’re drinking from your Stanley, of course) than putting that mythical bear right smack-dab on the front of the bottle. So that’s what we did. He’s affectionately known as Stan. And he’s looking right at you, waiting for your next story. Share Your Story Of #STANLEYNESS With Us On Facebook, Instagram And Twitter And Don’t Forget To Tag Us. ABOUT STANLEY The Stanley brand has a rich 100+ year history.

Reinventing A Classic: Introducing A Bigger, Stronger, And Better Stanley Classic Series
Reinventing A Classic: Introducing A Bigger, Stronger, And Better Stanley Classic Series
It’s not easy to reinvent a classic, but we took on the challenge. When the best could use a refresh, our team at Stanley didn’t want to create a new legend, we just wanted to give the hero a clean shave. You know, like when a super hero gets a new cape? We did something like that. After months of fine tuning, we’re proud to unveil the improved Stanley Classic Series Collection-- brand spankin’ new for spring 2019. With bigger volumes, stronger durability and better usability, the Classic Series, most recognized by its iconic hammertone green finish that you know and love, has been the go-to vessel for generations. Your granddad may have kept coffee in his Stanley bottle on fishing trips, your dad may have taken that same bottle to his jobsite, and you’re probably still taking that bad boy camping with your pals. By now, that bottle probably holds more stories than it does coffee. It’s been a badass bottle and we’re not telling you to get rid of it, we’re just here to let you know that there’s a new kid in town. Our latest edition of our classic series is cut from the same cloth and is ready to take on new adventures with you, regardless where the road takes you. BIGGER, STRONGER, BETTER: WHAT MAKES THE NEW CLASSIC SERIES SO GOOD? We’ve heard your Stanley stories. We’ve read your reviews. We’ve seen you and your bottle in action, and we took all of those things into consideration when creating an improved series. UPDATED DOUBLE WALL DESIGN The Stanley Classic vacuum bottles and jars now feature increased capacity, without needing to increase the overall size of the vessel. MORE DURABILITY Just when you thought a Stanley was fit to survive a zombie apocalypse, it got even burlier. With the updated construction comes an increase in durability and overall stronger bottle. THOUGHTFUL DESIGN ELEMENTS We told you we’ve been listening to you. We’ve added in the features you’ve been asking for such as a new pour thru stopper design for a smoother pour, and a redesigned handle for better grip. All off these things combined bring you an overall improved drinking experience. What’s The Deal With The Winged Bear? Who Is He? Where Did He Come From? Everyone’s got a good bear story to tell. We’ve heard them all. Even the one about the guy that hit his wife with a Stanley bottle instead of the bear, knocking out his wife in all of the madness. His wife doesn’t believe that there was a bear in the first place, but she probably doesn’t remember much about the night after getting slugged with the Stanley. In case you’re wondering, this is a true story. The new mythical bear logo is inspired by you and all of the people that make Stanley the legendary brand that it is today. The new logo will be featured on our products to signify the tall tales, amazing stories and long-lasting memories that have followed Stanley products throughout the last century. From reeling in the fish of a lifetime to fending off an inquisitive mountain lion at the picnic site, the winged-bear is there to remind everyone that the best stories are often shared with friends over a beverage or meal.

5 Valentine’s Gifts That Don’t Suck
5 Valentine’s Gifts That Don’t Suck
We know that Valentine’s Day is a commercial holiday, but if you’re going to give into it, don’t give up your dignity. And by dignity we mean, don’t give into buying gifts that suck. Like a red bear with pink hearts that’s sole purpose is to collect dust until your dog rips it off of a shelf and now, you’ve got a big old mess of slobbery fluff to sweep up. Don’t even get us started on those crappy candy hearts. We’ve got some choice words for those that we’ll keep to ourselves to make our mama’s proud. If you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, do it the right way. Tell that special someone how much they mean to you and show them that you mean it by giving a gift that, well, doesn’t suck. Need a little help? Here are our picks. Valentine’s Day Gifts For Him (Or Her) Classic Lunch Box Nothing says “I love you” like this mean, green (or navy) machine. It’s a classic. A favorite. And there is a solid reason why this bad boy is worthy enough for a superhero. In fact, we had laid this one to rest, but after much popular demand, we brought it back out of the vault for a limited time. Don’t sleep on it because it won’t be around for long. Master Flask A flask is a flask, but the Master Flask is in a category of its own. This hooch-hauler is refined, tough as nails, and mighty good lookin’ too. It’s made with 1.0 mm 18/8 stainless steel and feels just as good as it looks. Trust us, this one is sure to speak to the heart. If it doesn’t, it will after a few pulls. Classic One Hand Vacuum Mug The best way to get to a coffee lovers heart is through their cup of Joe. No one likes lukewarm coffee and that’s why every coffee connoisseur needs a one hand vacuum mug. It keeps coffee hot for 7 hours, in a leak-proof mug ideal for the coffee snob on-the-go. Classic Vacuum Growler Just like the coffee lover, beer lovers love their craft beer. Now they can haul 64 oz of the golden goodness in our classic vacuum growler. This growler isn’t your average 5 o’ clock somewhere transporter. It’s designed to keep beer carbonated and cold for up to 24 hours. Now, if you really want to win Valentine’s Day, all you have to do is gift this with a fill of craft beer from your local brewery. Yep, someone’s getting some action tonight! Classic Vacuum French Press | 48 Oz There’s a difference between truck stop coffee and fresh coffee. Don’t believe us? Then give the Classic Vacuum French Press a go. This mighty French press is no match for your average glass press. Its vacuum insulated so it will keep coffee hot for 4 hours, ideal for sipping on caffeinated hot gold in the great outdoors. In fact, forget gifting this one to your special someone. Be greedy and keep this sucker to yourself. Of course, coffee is meant to be shared, but it doesn’t mean you have to give up this fine piece of Stanley craftsmanship.

Knowing our window of opportunity would be short lived and the avalanche danger high in the alpine we kept our decision making conservative and rode some perfect low angle slopes adjacent to camp. Our powder paradise became a reality as Mother Nature provided us with bottomless turns all day, packing in as many laps as our legs could handle. As expected the weather saturated our paradise with rain but we continued to hoot and holler all the way back to camp where cold beers, whiskey and hot noodles awaited. We poured from our flasks into the evening reminiscing on past adventures and embarrassing moments. The stories became exaggerated and the laughs louder as I shared close quarters with my favorite people and as the snow we came for turned to rain, I slowly dozed off into a dreamy state with the potential of the next adventure on my mind.

2019: New Look, Same Old Soul
2019: New Look, Same Old Soul
For a 105 years, Stanley has been known as a classic symbol of being #BuiltForLife. While that can be hard to define, it’s easy to identify. It’s that inner badass that pushes us to do remarkable things and wring the most out of life. Much like the legendary strength of our products that now have a new look, born out of a century old legend. This new look includes the return of our old mythical bear. ABOUT THE STANLEY MYTHICAL BEAR The original bear symbol was born from the folklore of the Stanley brand, a recurring character in many of the stories we hear from our community. He made his debut with a crown that had lightning bolts around it as a nod to the inventor of the Stanley bottle, William Stanley, Jr. He has lived through a few different iterations over the years, while the epic stories keep coming. Since 1913 people have been telling us tales about being outside with their Stanley bottle, whether it be around a campfire, on the ranch, or wondering in the woods, when suddenly a bear shows up. Of course, nobody else was there to corroborate these adventures, and those who were,(?) may have had a few too many to remember. And so, the mythical bear was born. The Stories Tend To Go A Little Something Like This: Dear Stanley, My wife and I went camping. After a few drinks and swinging some tunes around the campfire, we decided to turn in for the night. I was fast asleep and could have sworn I was dreaming when I heard something ruffling around the tent—it was a bear. I woke up with adrenaline running through my veins, reached for my Stanley, and turned in the dark to hit the bear. I was aiming to be a hero, instead I ended up hitting my wife on the head. Well, she turned and whacked me on the side of my head. While the two of us saw stars, the bear didn’t want any part of this and hit the road. Sincerely, The guy with a wife tougher than his Stanley bottle These tall tales get bigger and wilder each time they are told. In fact, it’s why we love them so much. What better way to remind people that the best stories out there are the ones that get better over time and the ones you tell your friends around the campfire (while you’re drinking from your Stanley, of course) than putting that mythical bear right smack-dab on the front of the bottle. So that’s what we did. He’s affectionately known as Stan. And he’s looking right at you, waiting for your next story.

Reinventing A Classic: Introducing A Bigger, Stronger, And Better Stanley Classic Series
Reinventing A Classic: Introducing A Bigger, Stronger, And Better Stanley Classic Series
It’s not easy to reinvent a classic, but we took on the challenge. When the best could use a refresh, our team at Stanley didn’t want to create a new legend, we just wanted to give the hero a clean shave. You know, like when a super hero gets a new cape? We did something like that. After months of fine tuning, we’re proud to unveil the improved Stanley Classic Series Collection-- brand spankin’ new for spring 2019. With bigger volumes, stronger durability and better usability, the Classic Series, most recognized by its iconic hammertone green finish that you know and love, has been the go-to vessel for generations. Your granddad may have kept coffee in his Stanley bottle on fishing trips, your dad may have taken that same bottle to his jobsite, and you’re probably still taking that bad boy camping with your pals. By now, that bottle probably holds more stories than it does coffee. It’s been a badass bottle and we’re not telling you to get rid of it, we’re just here to let you know that there’s a new kid in town. Our latest edition of our classic series is cut from the same cloth and is ready to take on new adventures with you, regardless where the road takes you. BIGGER, STRONGER, BETTER: WHAT MAKES THE NEW CLASSIC SERIES SO GOOD? We’ve heard your Stanley stories. We’ve read your reviews. We’ve seen you and your bottle in action, and we took all of those things into consideration when creating an improved series. UPDATED DOUBLE WALL DESIGN The Stanley Classic vacuum bottles and jars now feature increased capacity, without needing to increase the overall size of the vessel. MORE DURABILITY Just when you thought a Stanley was fit to survive a zombie apocalypse, it got even burlier. With the updated construction comes an increase in durability and overall stronger bottle. THOUGHTFUL DESIGN ELEMENTS We told you we’ve been listening to you. We’ve added in the features you’ve been asking for such as a new pour thru stopper design for a smoother pour, and a redesigned handle for better grip. All off these things combined bring you an overall improved drinking experience. What’s The Deal With The Winged Bear? Who Is He? Where Did He Come From? Everyone’s got a good bear story to tell. We’ve heard them all. Even the one about the guy that hit his wife with a Stanley bottle instead of the bear, knocking out his wife in all of the madness. His wife doesn’t believe that there was a bear in the first place, but she probably doesn’t remember much about the night after getting slugged with the Stanley. In case you’re wondering, this is a true story. The new mythical bear logo is inspired by you and all of the people that make Stanley the legendary brand that it is today. The new logo will be featured on our products to signify the tall tales, amazing stories and long-lasting memories that have followed Stanley products throughout the last century. From reeling in the fish of a lifetime to fending off an inquisitive mountain lion at the picnic site, the winged-bear is there to remind everyone that the best stories are often shared with friends over a beverage or meal.
