Bredal Wild in the press – 17 years of press coverage

Since the beginning there have been many press features for Bredal belts and Bredal Wild. Bredal belts started in 2009 and in 2010 I invited D2 magazine (Dagens Næringsliv - DN) on a two-day hunt in the swamps outside New Orleans. Anders Kemp wrote and Fandango photographed the hunt. We were in Lake Charles and I took 15 alligators.

Every September for more than 30 years Dan (a former DEA agent at the border with Mexico) and Dane (a horse breeder) hunted together. The third 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 article in D2. It was online for 6 months and was clearly popular.
