Bredal Wild in the press – 17 years of press coverage
Mar 09, 2026
Since the beginning, there have been many press mentions of Bredal belts and Bredal Wild. I started Bredal belts in 2009, and in 2010 I invited D2 magazine (Dagens Næringsliv - DN) to go hunting in the swamps outside New Orleans for two days. Anders Kemp wrote the piece and Fandango photographed the hunt. We were in Lake Charles, and I got 15 alligators.
Every September for more than 30 years, Dan (formerly a DEA man at the border to Mexico) and Dane (a horse breeder) had hunted together. The third man was Bob Friedrich, owner of Crescent Belts in New Orleans - who bought the brand when he retired from the military. He was then a colonel in the Green Berets and a Vietnam veteran. It became a 9-page feature in D2. It was online for 6 months and was clearly popular.
