I had the opportunity to participate in a podcast with the Salem Statesman Journal in Oregon with their Outdoors writer Zach Urness. Give a listen here:

And you will be excited to hear the Ultralight Jerk sale I posted about recently raised over $2,200 for the ODT! Thanks to those of you out there who bought shirts! The sale is going on for another 5+ days, so there’s still a chance to score a cool shirt.

One more item, as a Gerber “Badassador” and a thru-hiker, they asked me to participate in the Backcountry Hunters and Angelers Hike to Hunt Challenge this summer.

I’ll be hiking miles to help raise money for the organization. The website isn’t updating properly, but I already have 34 miles logged for the challenge! Are you interested in donating to my challenge? Check out more here and search for my name.

Oh, and I’ll be in Denver next week for the Outdoor Retailer show! Will you be there? Come say hi at the TOAKS booth in the afternoons, I’ll be talking a bit about the ODT at 2pm each day and raffling off some TOAKS goodies.
