Sponsor Spotlight #1 – Gerber Gear

Hey folks!

So, one of the things we’re going to use this blog for is to shout-out our sponsors for their assistance in helping us reach our goal. This is good because our sponsors are lovely, beautiful people, and they should be thanked. It is also good because I want to encourage all readers of our blog to purchase products and services from these good people. Finally, it is good because it will hopefully encourage other wonderful folks to sponsor us. It’s win-win-win! Or maybe win-win-win-win? Win5?

Our first shout-out goes to to friend-of-the-trip Joe Mattson, who, in addition to being a badass, is also extremely generous, and has helped encourage his employer, Gerber Goods, to supply us for our upcoming journey. See below for some of the highlights of these supplies, and be sure to check them out at http://www.gerbergear.com/.
