Stick Nation, a quirky online community dedicated to the art of stick appreciation, was born last summer during a hiking trip to Arches National Park in Utah. What started as a joke among friends has now turned into a full-fledged phenomenon, with thousands of followers on Instagram and TikTok eagerly awaiting the latest stick reviews.
Boone Hogg and Logan Jugler, the masterminds behind Stick Nation, found themselves captivated by the aesthetic qualities of a simple stick they stumbled upon during their hike. From there, the idea of Official Stick Reviews was born, where sticks are judged based on criteria such as size, shape, color, and texture.
The account quickly gained a loyal following, with users submitting their own stick specimens for review and engaging in lively discussions about the beauty of natural sticks versus modified ones. Stick Nation even has its own set of pseudoscientific tests to evaluate sticks, adding a touch of whimsy to the whole endeavor.
What started as a lighthearted joke has now become a sincere passion for many, with followers sharing personal stories about their love for sticks and even creating merchandise to show their support for Stick Nation. Hogg and Jugler are amazed by the response they have received and are excited to see where the stick-loving community will take them next.
So, if you ever find yourself admiring a particularly interesting stick on your next hike, remember that there is a whole community out there ready to appreciate it with you. Stick Nation welcomes all stick enthusiasts, no matter how big or small their love for sticks may be.
