Last year we lost one of our forum members who I was close to. Sqidmark was a long time member, and friend and shared with the HammockForum.net community freely and often. I shared some time with his family last week and came home with most of his trail gear because his family simply didn't want to deal with it. I am offering it up to our members as a way to help newer folks gear up, but mostly to honor Sqidmark and to keep his gear out on the trail.
I am listing three bundles of gear to start. These bundles can't be broken up or mixed and matched.. take them as they are. I am doing my best to put together salient groupings. Once these three bundles are on their way, I will list a new set as time allows.
Rules:
- Items are offered as bundles only, no mix/match and don't ask me to divide anything.
- A simple lottery system will determine who receives each bundle;
- This round of items will close at midnight on Saturday 8/10, after which I will draw one random number for each bundle, using a random number generator;
- If you want to participate, post in this thread "I'm in for Bundle #x". Your time stamp will put you in a list for each bundle;
- Each person can participate in only one bundle lottery and those who do win, can not participate in any future bundles. Just trying to spread the wealth;
- Winning participants will be responsible only for the cost of shipping and all items will be shipped via a small or medium flat rate box;
- I apologize, but no international shipping please. I know we have a very broad audience, but this needs to be limited to the Con-US for logistics;
- Oh.. one last requirement.. keeping the spirit of these offerings in mind, I am asking lottery winners to forward at least one picture of your item(s) in the wild to share with Sqid's family...
PS - At the request of Sqidmark's family I never posted of his passing. Please be respectful of their request for privacy.
Due to the circumstances of a HF member loss and the family wanting to spread the wealth the moderators of HF are permitting me to run this via lottery rather than the first "I'll take it".
