Update: Winter 2026 - Just want to keep you folks updated on this thread. I continue to have the opportunity to take pastors, ministry leaders, and their families on outdoor adventures in various ways, introducing people to hunting, fishing, boating, crabbing, etc. who have little to no experience or the funding available to buy gear, etc. Your involvement with me over the last few years in this project has been simply mind-blowing. The gear you've provided and the funds donated have helped launch dozens of families into the outdoors. Over 2025, I was fortunate to host over 15 people on fishing adventures (both on my boat and with professional guides) for salmon, ling cod, and crab. And this winter I was fortunate to help steer a couple individuals (2 pastor's sons) in their desire to learn duck hunting as well as help provide some resources for a couple other ministries that are doing the same type of service as I am - one located in Alaska, one located in New Mexico/Colorado, and another located right here in Washington. It's been so meaningful to be able to partner in this way. And thanks to you and the gear you've provided, all of the gear donated has now been officially passed on to people who I've hosted or spent time investing in who want to grow in outdoor living. The gear locker is EMPTY!! Below, I'll show some pictures of some 2025 trips and people who benefited from gear, trips, etc. If you would like to gather any gear to be donated in the future - please reach out and send me a message. I'm glad to take a variety of items including: Archery gear - Good working condition bows, compound bows, arrows, quivers, targets, etc. Optics: Spotting Scopes, Binoculars, Range Finders Tri-Pods, Bi-Pods, Mono-Pods, etc. Calls (ducks, geese, turkey, deer, Foxpro, etc.) Backpacks - Hunting packs Hunting knives, Gutting & Skinning kits Rain gear - Good working rain jackets, pants, bibs Boots - Hunting (Rubber for wet days/water crossings); Fishing - fly fishing; Winter (ice fishing/snowmobiling) Waders - Fishing waders (no rips/tears/leaks please); Hunting - (Any brand - no rips/tears/leaks please) Fishing Rods - Trout rods, bass rods, salmon rods, fly fishing rods Reels - Working reels that aren't rusted and broken - prefer newer reels Guns - Shotguns, Rifles, Muzzleloaders, Pistols, etc. - I live near an FFL who's able to do all transfers - I'll pay all fees Ground blinds or layout blinds Kayaks/Boats/Paddleboards/Marsh Rats/Etc. And more! If you have items that you want to donate, but don't know if I need it, just send me a message. Thanks again to all who've donated in the past. Today, dozens and dozens of families now have gear and the experiences with them to become more capable outdoorsmen and women. If you'd like to partner with me, but just want to make a financial gift (tax-deductible) you can. Yes, as a full-time missionary, I have a fund that can be used to cover costs for this work.

Special thanks to Storyteller, Brewzer13, and GWP for volunteering to donate fishing, hunting, and other outdoor gear in 2026 to keep the gear locker stocked! It was great to spend some time meeting up with Storyteller last week. These guys, along with so many others, have kept me stocked up with essentials like terminal tackle, fishing rods/reels, lures, flashers, knives, archery gear, upland and waterfowl gear, deer hunting gear, and so much more over the years that I've been able to take pastors, ministry leaders, and their spouses or kids out hunting and fishing at NO COST. What a treat! If you have any gear you're wanting to offload, send me PM. Thanks to you all. |
