He also is a self-claimed "UC Berkeley trained ecologist".
Berkeley is one of the most left leaning colleges in the country. And that's saying something...

Fun fact: Turns out I taught his Master’s degree advisor the mandolin part to Copperhead Road at a conference in Austin, TX ~2012. Small world...

I really don’t know what any of this is about, but I searched him after seeing this post because I’m an ecologist too. Looks like the Insta post is deleted, and I can’t sort through the 450 preceding posts!

After careful consideration and hours of reading through all 25 pages I've decided I will not be ordering my next batch of Sitka.......until the dang heavyweight core hoody is back in stock.

Ha! Well I hope the heavyweight or something similar comes around. I guess I should start poking around some of the local stores to see whats left in stock. Do they have a release date for the new line?

They'll have them at the shows this month, probably March or so, maybe sooner they'll have them ready. It's tough to say because they get different gear in stock at different times of the year lol

I have stayed quiet since my first couple posts awaiting an official response. It isn't going to happen. I have zero problems with business models that don't cater to me. But, as a company that was born and bred to cater to hunting demands, I expected a more proactive response to an open attack on the 2nd Amendment that has ensured this country's democracy. We all have the right to feel and say what we want. But, with those rights come the responsibility that we will be held to those convictions by others. This guy was an independent contractor who depends on his marketability in order to make a living. He was the owner of his business and made a choice to openly choose a side. HE was likely looking for or conducting other opportunities when he made that video as well. I hope Sitka chose's to support his decision and find a consultant that shares the same commitment to our Bill or Rights as a large percentage of their customer base does.

That is all we can expect as hunters and firm believers of the intent and resolve of our 2nd amendment rights. Because it is obvious that is all we are going to get. Its a free country so they say. Practice that Sitka.

I would love to hear that they Trumped this guy.....call into office and 'your fired'.

I spoke to a marketing guy in pm on Instagram and he said they cut ties with him but for legal reasons couldn’t make a public statement. For what that’s worth

I get that they cannot publicly lambast this wannabe social media star....but that doesn't preclude them from reiterating the tenants the business was founded on.

BTW, they have some of those^ on their website already.

Now there is one more possibility....that the Gore parent company has a mandate to slowly move towards the "main stream" for a bigger market for their products and focus less on hard core hunters. This could be the reason they hired this hipster fellow in the first place.

Considering the additional new everyday wear that is being rolled out, I would bet your are close too if not exactly right.

I DM’d Cody on Instagram and he made it clear to me that he is in complete opposition to any gun control measures, including universal background checks. His head is on straight in that regard. He and Charles are good friends and he was just showing support for a buddy, while not necessarily agreeing with his message. I think we can all relate to that. I have friends that I think are ass backwards politically but I can be a grown man about it and still cultivate those friendships using other common grounds and interests. Cody is in a tough spot in this one and is just hoping Charles comes out

I have friends I do not agree with politically. I would never like a post in support. Cody is backing out in that one. Thise friends you ignore.

Remember Roksliders, all is opinion. The only thing that matters is what you make of your own thoughts, not what some random dude did or didn't do while wearing this brand or the next.
