Most manual labor potions require a 4 plus year apprenticeship. Which involves manual work as well as book work. Just because it isn't a college degree doesn't mean it's not worth anything. College degrees are becoming a dime a dozen. Everyone is going to college because the media makes it seem that if you don't, you can't have a career. This is a load of bull. Can a college degree help? Of course but some positions in the workforce require on the job experience more than a piece of paper that says you read a out how to do it in a book.
amen to this good man. if I was in the position to hire for important positions, experience and common since would play in every single time before a degree that someone payed way to much for. non the less..... kuiu, where are you??

My 2P tent is roaming around the countryside in a FedEx truck trying to find my place. I finally gave them my son's address closer to town. Will give a report after i get a chance to try it out.

i ordered attacks pants and gators first week of april, still waiting on them. I did get my zip t a couple weeks back but still no word on the others. I figured april was plenty of time to order stuff and have them here. I may have to cancel and give Sitka a try. hate to say it but this is kinda crazy. they have been super way overly nice to me with CS and that I appreciate but I wish they give more updates as to whats going on. hopefully they come soon so I can give kuiu a decent try.

The 2P tent found its way to my place, and just ordered a set of merino wool base layers that were shipped the next day. The down vest I wanted was on backorder, so I told them if it isn't here by Sept. 10th to cancel it.

I ordered some Attacks lastnight. I'm really looking forward to using them after reading all the good reviews.

KUIU says they're a mid-season piece but I'm hoping to take them into late November and December.

Received my Peloton Zip T last night. Still waiting on my attack pants. I hope they make it before hunt starts which is next weekend. Love the gear and clothing but the backorders are a bit ridiculous!

has anyone had problems with the merino base layers being a bit weak. I was recently on like a 9 mile hike carrying my 3 year old son in a child carrier and had about 5 or 6 pellet sized holes around the area of the lower buckle of the pack from rubbing I guess. The tee was brand new never worn. I have a lot of kuiu products and love the rest of it but was really disappointed in this, especially for paying soo much for these merino tees. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

I don't like the sound of that. I will have to use my new merino T before I head west with them to see if there is a problem. I have no doubt that KUIU will warranty them for you though.
