Damn Yak “Gift” – Gorilla Shoe – Made in Canada:
I was a bit jealous when Eric posted the images from his parcel he got from Japan today, but when I came home from work there was one for me as well.

Some weeks ago Chris from Damn Yak asked me if I´m interested in a deadstock pair of boots, made in Canada.  Before that mail I promised not to buy any more shoes/boots for a while. But his offer was more like a generous gift so I had to have them. Even they were labeled half a size too small I took them.

If they will be abused for work or have an easy life will be decided within the next weeks by wearing them in.

Chris, thanks a lot for the boots and the nice postcard. Even that we never met in person I know we would have a great time. Let´s see it might happen either in Canada or in Europe.

He made me this pouch a while a ago and brought my attention to the great swiss army backpacks.

Check his website – he is definitely one of the good ones!
