Bredal Wild in the press
Since the beginning, there have been many press mentions of Bredal belts and Bredal Wild. I launched Bredal belts 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 the story and Fandango photographed the hunt. We were in Lake Charles, and I got 15 alligators.
Every September for more than 30 years, Dan (a former DEA agent 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. There was a 9-page feature in D2. It was online for 6 months and was clearly popular.
