Gift bag from Brooklyn Outdoor Provisions
Coaching hockey in the Himalayas is a pretty rugged activity. Being on the ice obviously requires a lot of equipment, but being on and off the ice in the Himalayas requires baselayers, sleeping bags, down jackets, backpacks, duffel-bags, and more. All of these things are available at the newly opened Brooklyn Outdoor Provisions, which has genersouly donated a backpack, insulated water bottles (great for hot beverages during winter), Helly Hanson baselayers and a t-shirt. Value of this gift bag is $100. If you're in/around NYC, be sure to check out their new store: 198 Utica Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11213
Suunto Core Alu Deep Black Outdoor Watch
Suunto is a Finnish company that makes high quality outdoor sport watches. The Core series is a very user friendly, versatile watch that includes an altimeter, barometer, compass, timer, alarm, dual time and more features that we rely upon when on long, dark drives between villages in the Himalayas. Knowing our altitude is important for those of us easily afflicted with altitude sickness, the barometer let's us know about pending storms, the compass obviously can keep us pointing north, and the time-related function don't need explanation. A well-built watch, it can also be worn with a suit. Value is $400.
