Earth Day, Sophistry and Garbage.

Hey folks, it’s Earth Day. The first Earth Day I remember was when I was a young kid back in New York City. I recall it being a big deal Earth Day Celebration, probably the 15th anniversary or maybe the 20th, in Central Park. It was a disaster. I can’t find links to articles about [...]

New Routes in the Columbia River Gorge

It’s under 32 here in Portland. So folks like Marcus are getting out and getting stuff done. While we are sitting here making packs. Congrats to Marcus and Bill for their new route that they’ve named “The Deer Hunter”. That’s truly an accomplishment. And it looks damn scary.

Portland, OR

We are closing on a lease of a new facility this week, and hope to move in on the 1st of October. I am going to be hiring at least one full time person to cover our direct sales and shipping stuff. I’m also looking for a business intern, and of course, sewing staff. We [...]
