The Blackhawk Story:
Blackhawk was founded in 1993 by former Navy SEAL Mike Noell. His US Navy experience provided him the inspiration for the gear Blackhawk now manufactures. While operating 60 klicks inside Northern Iraq, he had to hump "a ton" of gear by foot in an enemy minefield. The pack failed, dumping his gear into the mine-ridden ground. "If I get out of this one alive, I will make this stuff the way it needs to be built so none of my buddies have to go through this," he remarked to a fellow operator. Upon entering the private sector, that's exactly what he did, making gear and packs in a garage, and growing ever since.
As a member of the SEALs, Mike had served his country with distinction. While still at basic underwater Demolition School/SEAL Training (BUD/S), he was presented with the "Honor Man" award, given to the class's top achiever in academics and physical field performance overall. He was also given the "Fire in the Gut" award, an honor for exemplary effort voted by his teammates, the first time in history that both awards went to the same sailor.
