Friedkin Conservation Fund

Hi Lynn,

I have just returned from a good stint in the bush were I was fortunate enough to work with two rangers that both belong to hunter-gather tribes in Tanzania. There are very few of these chaps left. There bush skill is incredible though and on the first night out we realized we had failed to pack matches or lighter. They asked to use my knife (Outdoorsman) and within 2 minutes had a roaring fire going. They cut a couple of thin branches shaped them to the required proportions and then with the Outdoorsman placed in a position to catch the hot coal proceeded to make fire using a method that goes back to the ancients.

Your products come in use time and time again and often in a way we least expect it. Thanks to the Outdoorsman( and the 2 rangers) we had a hot meal in no time at all. Thanks again for all your generous support towards anti poaching in Tanzania.

All the best,

Keith
