Gifts of Adventure: Sharing the Spirit of Canyoneering

ByRich

Something wonderful and unexpected happened recently. Matthias Holzinger from CE4Y (Canyoning Equipment For You) in Switzerland reached out to me via Facebook Messenger in late June, expressing his desire to donate 30 of his top-notch canyoning backpacks through Canyoneering Karma.

These high-quality packs typically retail for $165 each. While the generous donation covers the packs themselves, I need to cover shipping. I took the initiative to cover the initial shipping cost for 10 packs out of my own pocket, totaling $150. With 20 more packs on the way, I’m hoping to arrange their delivery within the next week or two.
