Help Secure Fitpacking's Future

I was born and raised in Sioux Falls, SD. My love for the outdoors began at an early age, spending most of my time in a grove of trees in a field near my house. I took a break from the outdoors while I spent 12 years in the US Army and 17 years working in Criminal Justice.

Since then, I have worked with several organizations teaching the skills of canoeing, backpacking, orienteering, wilderness survival, and outdoor skills to youth and adults. One of these companies is called Fitpacking, where I have worked for the last 10 years as a Lead Guide, Permitting Coordinator, and Equipment Manager. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the company I love working for is being sold. I would love to raise funds to purchase the company, continuing its mission, sustaining the wide variety of participants that it serves, and expanding it to reach a more dynamic and diverse group of people for many years to come. I am asking for your help in making this a reality.
