Sponsors

Sponsorships are a tricky issue. It’s all in how you look at it and what you do with it. For my part I am very happy to have received some sponsorships, however at the same time I’ve not actively hunted them down either. The few sponsors I have had over the years make truly “one of a kind” gear and there is no doubt in the industry about the quality of their work. What you will never see from me is a pile of sponsors. I don’t really seek piles “free kit”. What good is it if you don’t use it anyway? I’m certainly not going to bs you to get it. To me these guys are the best in the business and I feel great to tell you about them without feeling all “squishy”! Each link will give you my thoughts and impressions about the products I use and why. From there you can follow links to photo galleries, their websites and more.
