Brunton Since 1894, Brunton has set the gold standard in precision equipment for field-based professionals & outdoor enthusiasts.

This long heritage of innovation, reliability, & quality has a deep history deeply rooted in the Mountain West of the United States. Ever since the invention of the legendary Pocket Transit compass in 1894, Brunton has continued to build a portfolio of innovative precision products, technical instruments and products for the outdoors. In the Outdoor Professional user's world, the Brunton name is ubiquitous where Pocket Transits are simply known as 'a Brunton". This level of brand allegiance is hard earned and only products of equal caliber are labeled Brunton Outdoor Professional.

And that’s a wrap on GSA Connects 2026!

GSA Connects isn’t only about the exhibit hall—it’s about bringing the geoscience community together.

We were excited to sponsor the first annual Student & Young Professional Ice Cream Social and Trivia Night, where we hosted an entire round of Brunton trivia, donated prizes, and supplied a few Brunton “props” for the photo booth. Naturally, we had to test those ourselves.

Back at the booth, we kept the energy going with hands-on demonstrations and daily raffle giveaways. Wichita State University had an especially good week, taking home both a Blue Standard Transit and our grand prize—an Orange Axis Transit!

We were also thrilled to see Emmalee’s “Rockin’ with the Brunton Axis at Field Camp” video featured on the main exhibit hall stage. Seeing field education, students, and Brunton instruments come together like that is exactly why these partnerships matter to us.

Thank you to everyone who participated, visited, learned, laughed, entered a raffle, and helped make GSA Connects 2026 such a memorable week.

After a week full of field science, old friends, new connections, packed events, giveaways, great conversations, and a very busy Brunton booth, we’re heading home grateful for everyone who made this year’s meeting such a good one.

A special shoutout to our ambassador Emmalee Emmalee Alyssa, whose Rockin’ with the Brunton Axis at Field Camp video made it onto the main exhibit hall stage, and to Jess from Jess, MineLife Media ⚒️ for being part of the Brunton ambassador crew and helping make the week even better.

And most of all, thank you to everyone who came by the booth. Whether you stopped to talk field methods, try a transit, enter a raffle, ask a question, or just say hello, we loved seeing you.

See everyone next year!

Our relationship with the Geological Society of America goes far beyond exhibiting at the annual meeting.

We started the weekend before GSA Connects even opened! Lauren participating in Friday and Saturday meetings as a member of the GSA Foundation Board of Trustees.

Throughout the meeting, we were proud to see Brunton represented as a major Organizational Partner of GSA. That partnership reflects years of supporting the geoscience community—including our annual in-kind donations of Brunton transits to the J. David Lowell Field Camp Scholarship program.

This year we were also proud to sponsor the Women in Geology networking reception, support the Association of Women Geologists, and donate additional engraved transits for raffles benefiting the International Association for Geoscience Diversity, GSA’s Structural Geology & Tectonics Division, and the GSA Foundation.

For us, supporting organizations like these is an investment in the people who will carry field science forward.

Thank you to GSA, the GSA Foundation, our fellow partners, our raffle winners, and everyone working to create opportunities for the next generation of geoscientists.

What a week at GSA Connects 2026!

We spent the meeting doing what we love most—talking with geoscientists, students, educators, and field professionals about their work, their research, and the tools they rely on in the field.

Our Brunton booth stayed busy throughout the event with demonstrations, questions, conversations, daily giveaways, and plenty of familiar faces and new friends.

One of the best parts of these meetings is getting to hear directly from the people using Brunton instruments in classrooms, field camps, research projects, and professional work around the world.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth, entered a raffle, shared a story, asked us a question, or simply came over to say hello. You made this an outstanding GSA Connects for us.

We’re already looking forward to the next one.

⭐️ 10 years of the Brunton Axis Transit! ⭐️

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the Axis being invented by Lauren and David Heerschap—a tool created to help field geologists work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence in complex terrain.

Designed for real structural geology work, the Axis helps streamline measurements in the field, including simultaneous strike & dip and trend & plunge readings—making it a trusted tool for students, professionals, and field crews around the world.

A decade later, we’re proud to celebrate the Axis as part of Brunton’s continuing legacy of precision instruments built for people who do their best work outside.

Thank you, Salt Lake City! 🧭⛏️

Brunton had a great time at the Society of Economic Geologists conference, connecting with students, young professionals, distributors, field scientists, and longtime Brunton users.

We were proud to be involved in several ways: supporting the event as a sponsor of the Conference Accessibility Program, exhibiting throughout the conference, and sharing more about the tools and methods that help geologists work more confidently in the field.

Lauren presented a session on field methods for students and young professionals, and also gave an exhibit hall presentation on the Brunton Axis Transit—including how it helps streamline structural measurements in real-world field conditions.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth for thoughtful conversations about field tools, mapping, measurement techniques, and field methods in general. It was also great having Jess from Prospector’s stop by, one of our distributors in Australia!

We’re grateful for the geoscience community—and we’ll see you in the field!

132 years in the field—and still moving forward.

Since 1894, Brunton has built a legacy around precision, craftsmanship, innovation, and tools made for people who depend on accuracy when it matters most.

From the earliest days of the Pocket Transit to the instruments trusted by geologists, surveyors, explorers, outdoor professionals, and adventurers around the world today, Brunton has spent 132 years being the best in the field.

Today, on Brunton Day, we celebrate far more than where we started. We celebrate generations of innovation, American manufacturing, the people who have carried Brunton into the field, and a name that has endured for more than a century.

132 years. Countless journeys. One standard: precision.

Here’s to the history behind us—and the horizons still ahead.

13,810 feet. 40 miles. An unforgettable adventure!
⛰️⛰️🏔️🏔️🏔️🧭

Recently, Brunton’s owners, Lauren & Dave Heerschap, avid outdoors-folk & climbers; reached the summit of Gannett Peak—Wyoming’s highest mountain at 13,810 feet.

Rather than taking the standard route, they approached from another angle-Green River Lakes via the Tourist Creek drainage, climbing Gannett from the west side and North Ridge. The journey covered roughly 40 miles round trip, with nearly half of it spent off-trail across steep talus and scree!

It’s not a route they’d recommend—but the challenge made the experience even more rewarding.

As Lauren shared:

“The views from the summit were amazing, as was the feeling of accomplishment once we were back home.”

For those who know the folks at Brunton, this adventure reflects who we are. As a Wyoming company, we believe the best gear is inspired by real experiences in wild places. Whether it’s on a mountaintop, at field camp, or deep in the backcountry, every journey reminds us why precision, preparation, & perseverance matter.

Congratulations to Lauren and Dave on an incredible accomplishment—& thank you for continuing to embody the adventurous spirit behind Brunton! Truly, walking the walk!

Built in Wyoming. Inspired by Wyoming. Trusted worldwide. 🧭
