    An idea

    Dutch,

    It's no surprise we love all your products and doodads. What I don't like is keeping track of all the things you make to figure out what I want, place an order only to find out you made something else really cool that I now need. Let's face it, the items you tend to make are small and numerous. Not like quilts. I'm only guessing here, but given the time you spend in R&D, marketing and order processing, there not much margin left when a customer buy a few items per order.

    I suggest you consider starting The Dutch Club. Members pay a fee per year you come up with the amount and we get any item you make (within reason) automatically.

    I for one would sign up for that in a heartbeat. I'm sure others would too. Could even out your cash flow and help fund cap ex.

    Just a thought

    S

    I think you guys are talking about "Forever Dutch" - which according to the man himself - is already a thing.

    Rook is right, I have the The Forever Dutch, for those who already have everything , but just want to make sure they will have everything tomorrow.

    I wouldn't know how to work that. I don't know when any of this will end and i never thought I would be where I am at. I always said vending has taken away from colaboration and inovation. I never wanted to part with anything I made. I'd like to do some kind of discount and I try to give back as much as possible. However if you subscribe to my YouTube channel you do get an early heads up. If I can hook nice people up even before something gets released I do once I feel it is safe.

    FYI-There is one person who has the "Forever Dutch" and I owe him gear so maybe it isn't such a good club.

    So the You Tube is an EDWS - Early Dutch Warning System.- This is a test. A test of the EDWS. This is only a test.
    I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.

    Just wait till you guys hear about the special new down Dutch innovation that'll help keep you warm on those bitter cold breaks from your hike....

    Dutch - I had to stop typing that twice due to uncontrollable LOL'ing.

    Actually - I don't know if the world is ready for it yet hahaha
