first, I am placing an order for Cease and Desist t-shirts. The last batch of shirts sold out in 2 days for sizes M-XL . Since i didn’t hold a pre order, people were disappointed.

available in black or red. sizes xs-2xl. printed on Bella & Canvas 3001 shirt blacks by Magic wolf Printing in saint johnsbury, VT.

waxed canvas chalk bags: I offered to donate a bunch of chalk bags for fundraising for a new ,sort of local, climbing gym, higher ground, going in Gorham NH in an old church. Which leads me to build more chalk bags, and included will be a number of the waxed canvas bags which ,ah, sold out asap. i have about a dozen available in waxed canvas.

Evazote foam:

I dropped the ball on doing a preorder. just too many DM’s from instagram and impossible to easily convert to an invoice without hours of work.a lot more time for me to spend time on while selling at just over cost.

also, prices have gone up again since 4 weeks ago. I will place my order this week for 3/8”, 1/2” full sheets of Evazote. a full sheet is roughly 40”x80”.

please follow the link to see pricing. you can order and i will place final order on 6/10/26.
once this batch sells out it will be a long time till I need more.

Latest custom pack builds:

the portage pack for the owner of pack rafting maine. this took a long time and i had been thinking about for a couple years. the bottom is is a roll top compartment. the back wall of the frame sheet has molle web sewn on for lashing dry bags, pack rafts, bear cans, 5 gallon buckets, hay bales, a quarter moose, you name it. the bartacked panel is 2 layers of Ultra 400 TX so the tacks never pull through.

you can also use this design for unsupported expeditions: your 50 -60 L climbing pack can fit above the bottom compartment and use this for carrying everything to a base camp. like walking approach to Denali or mt logan. easily carry 120 L of gear. that’s the Alpine Dump pack sitting on the framesheet.

there is an avalanche gear pocket that attaches with G hooks to the roll top compartment and plugs into the frame sheet. the back pad velcros off. This is a full custom project. there is no base price but happy to discuss if your interested in one.

this is a backpacking focused alpine machine 70 L pack. built in ultra 400. there are stretch Dyneema water bottle pockets.
