	Granite Gear products are awesome. I have used their backpacks, stuff sacks, dog gear, and tarps. They are all built for the long haul. In addition, they have always treated me awesome and gone out of their way for me.
	Montbell has been making some of the best lightweight products on the market since 1975. I will be using much of their Light and Fast product line on my upcoming hikes.
	SteriPEN makes one of the newest types of water treatment available. I had been using iodine, but I think I will be turning radioactive soon. I am excited to be using their ultraviolet light technology to treat my water now.
	Honey Stinger makes energy bars and gels out of pure honey, unlike other companies that use mostly artificial stuff. An added bonus is that they taste good and the gels can double as tea sweetener, spread for bread, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, or whatever else you would use regular honey for.
	Garmont makes some of the best outdoor footwear products on the market. I will be trying out their hiking line. I would wear their Telemark boots too, but I will have to save that for when I am ski patrolling again next winter.
	Bridgedale makes some great socks. I have always had good luck with them and am lucky to be wearing them this coming trip.
	I am moving into the modern age this trip thanks to Pocketmail. I will be carrying this AA battery operated PDA type device, which can send and receive e-mail through any phone or payphone.
	I love Waldies. They are super comfortable and I even like to hike in them. In addition to their original clog model I will be trying out a few new models that they are going to be coming out with.
	MSR makes a huge variety of backpacking and camping products. I am very excited to have them helping me out on this trip.
	Thermarest makes a variety of sleeping pads. I will now have the luxury of using multiple sleeping pads for the cold weather and even letting Yoni sleep on one, so she won’t have to steal mine anymore.
