My side of the BlackOvis/Camofire story - Podcast and Q&A

[ktowncamo]

@ktowncamo correct me if I’m wrong but in episode three I believe you said that you are not involved or invested with crispi anymore?

Correct, I am not a part of Crispi in any way or form. My son works there, that is my only tie to the company. I'm glad I posted here if nothing else than to convey this point so that any perceived involvement on my part with Crispi will no longer stand in the way of good people buying the best hunting boots from good people and a great company.

Or did you mean "And no, I'm NOT going into podcasting"? I'm a little confused (sorry).

I am NOT going into podcasting. No worries for asking me to clarify.

Business is scary.

It's real 24-7 and can become beyond your control quickly.
Very few have played the game at the level Kendall took on.
Many are jealous and full of spite while never putting out the effort it takes to have some skin in the game.
My hunch is anyone that talks down selling overstocked boots on the level we are talking about here frequently talks down most successful people as well.

My advice?
Find a new horse and ride it.
Your prior success was no fluke.

So let me get this straight, you had no prior knowledge of the bankruptcy filings or the possibility of it? You were told in October out of the blue about the filing?

Slightly off topic but I really want to know, why would you bring in PE in the first place? losing all control of your company sounds pretty sh***y if you ask me. Maybe I just don't know enough about PE but it seems like every deal I've heard about with PE is awful.

Kendall, I appreciate you coming on rokslide to explain your story. I enjoyed your reviews you did and I based my purchases off of them. I wish you luck in whatever direction you go. BO clothes were great for me and I miss them.

OP, I've got no dog in this fight, don't know you. It is a solid move by you to put yourself on here/out here.

I also can absolutely share frustration and anger with customers who got hosed.

To the posters riding the line.......As Randy stated earlier, let's keep this respectable and civil. Coming here to sling or stir crap won't be tolerated.
