The people behind it
Who we are.

Charter & Compass was started by Jana Santoriello and her granddaughter Kendyl in Mowrystown, Ohio.
Jana grew up in a house where the pantry was always stocked and the toolbox was always full. Kendyl grew up wondering why no one taught those things anymore.
We built what we were looking for: a place that takes self-reliance seriously without selling you fear. Every product here is American-made. Every field manual is written plain.
From the field
What people say.
“I've read three different books on the Constitution. This is the only one I've actually finished twice. It says what it means and doesn't dress it up. Fits in my vest pocket.”Dale T., Tennessee
“Tested it on creek water before I trusted it for anything serious. Came out clear, no taste. Been using it for eight months. Nothing has broken, nothing has slowed down.”Robert M., Texas
“Ice storm knocked out power for four days last February. Kept the refrigerator running and charged everyone's phones. It didn't feel like an emergency.”Kevin B., Ohio
