    Taking a Break!

    As many of you know, NK has been on a partial hiatus this spring. The plan was for me to do more design and field testing. Well the long and short of it is, I always manage to over-extend myself and I haven't done much designing or testing!

    So to give fair warning (not that anyone will miss me! ), I wanted everyone to know I will be taking a hiatus from all sales, starting May 4th until sometime late in the summer. I may have some prototypes during that time, but that will be all. Lots of trips planned, which will hopefully give me plenty of time to do some field testing. I'm not dropping off the face of the earth (still have a day job), so if you have any questions, concerns, warranty issues, etc, just email and I will address your queries as I am able. I'll still be looking after the PIF and so forth.

    Also, I will only be making two or three additional (and small!) batches of tarp skins because they take more time than I would like. If you would like a set, place your order sooner rather than later. Email if you get the sold-out message and don't mind waiting. All the other stuff will go off sale at that time as well.

    Thank you everyone! I'm looking forward to the summer.

    good for you in taking take a well deserved break
    'Classic.' A book which people praise and don't read.” ― Mark Twain

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    That's great you are taking some time off and are going to be able to enjoy the woods because of it. You should try and make it to one of the hangs we have here in Mn and then you can meet some more of your fellow Hf members. Take care.
