My Uncle Bill bagged an 8 point buck last weekend. I was not with him unfortunately, but he has the entire deer ready for me at the processing farm. Already paid for! Stoked for some holiday venison : ) .

@Oaktavia , it sounds like uncle Bill would look deservedly outstanding In an IH UHF…

[Oaktavia]

@motojobobo haha Uncle Bill is a big dude, 6' 6" and pushing 350lbs.

Spent 3 hours today sitting in a pool during a rainstorm drinking various drinks…life’s not bad

As soon as it started raining, everyone headed towards the hills, and for those of them that did, Thank you!

I’d like to give @Alex some love for a few things that he’s done / doing to carry on the legacy that H&G initiated.

First, the re-love program. This is good for consumers who want to get a nicely worn item that otherwise is just sitting in a closet or a box, but more importantly it is ecologically a good move.

Second, the free repairs for life. This fits the IH ethos established by @Giles of extreme customer service, but again, more importantly in my mind reduces consumption, and ultimately probably revenue for IH, but is good for ecological sustainability and also for us, since most of us would like to wear our gear into dust. It also falls in line with the IH ethos of durable gear robustly constructed.

It is very difficult for a retailer to balance profitability and sustainability, and to be willing to make sacrifices to do so is truly admirable.

Nice one @mclaincausey

good words @mclaincausey only one more to add, third party year in a row (IH hat-trick so to speak)

[mclaincausey]

Thanks and good call. I forgot to also mention experimentation with less toxic dying techniques, using organic fabrics in some cases, and of course contracting with suppliers who, I have to assume, treat their workers with respect.
