      To the folks over at Outdoor Vitails – wanted to relate my respect and admiration I have for your product line campaign. You offer superb affordable products without all the fancy useless add on’s that many of the corporate manufacturers include.. Fooling the consumer into thinking if they don’t have that design then there trip will suck due to the lack of style and or comfort….. .SQPA Simple, Quality, Performance, Affordability……..Thanks for all you do now and in the future …..CB.

  29. Adrian Redgwellsays:

    Again backpackers is the people I want to represent. I will be finishing my incredible wild savage hike on Quebecs International Appalachian Trail today. 3 times I had no services for 6 hiking days. And could wash my others fir 12 days. I am afraid the Appalachian thru hikers that think they are hiker trash really don’t understand the true meaning of hiker trash. If you really want to feel a 12 hiker trash smell, then try hiking Quebec’s IAT one day. This was my 2 time thru hiking this 650km or 404mile trail and it is very intimidating and rewarding.

  30. Bobby Nancesays:
