- a sleeping bag from Chris & Elina Hildebrand that trekked up to Mt. Everest with Chris’ dad who passed on this year
- a headlamp from my brother, Marques who uses it for late night bar-b-ques
- a sarong from my mom that I brought back from Indonesia for her about 13 years ago
- a therma-rest, camping light & a crystal from my Anthony Angel. The crystal was given to him years ago by a high school teacher after his mom passed on. The camping gear brought him backpacking through Europe about 10 years ago.
- a rain poncho from Erin Keane, a past employee of mine and good friend.
- a stuff sack for the sleeping bag, universal plug in adapter and passport holder from J Conrad Nivens…one of my coolest friends I know
- Long underwear and boots that trekked in Nepal from Amber Bennet, the owner of my favorite coffeeshop in seattle called “Freshy’s”
- A therma-rest (yes, two therma-rests came to me) from Jeri Miller, who went to Siberia and said it was “the best summer of her life!”
- there’s more, but I can’t think of them now…will update as I remember 🙂
Thank you, Universe!
