Here & Thereย is a weekly-ish email fromย Kyle Frostย about the outdoors, travel, and adventure. If you enjoy, please subscribe/share :)

Hi all, just a quick one this week.

Yesterday, the Outbound Collective released the latest #EveryoneOutside film, โ€œSlim Pickinsโ€, featuring Jahmicah and Heather Dawes. Slim Pickins Outfitters is nationโ€™s first Black-owned outdoor gear shop, and this short film tells their incredible story.

Itโ€™s full of inspiration, hope, challenges, and trials. Opening an outdoor gear shop in Stephenville, TX (the โ€œcowboy capital of the worldโ€) was a bold statement and the road has not been easy. Like many other small businesses, the pandemic has been a challenging time for the shop and their family. They are in desperate need of capital to dig out of the debt caused by covid, and a GoFundMe has been set up to make sure that Slim Pickins can remain a staple of the Stephenville community.

Take 15 minutes today, learn about their story, and please donate/share if youโ€™re able. I know the Dawes will be eternally grateful.

As always, feel free to reach out with ideas, feedback, or stuff you think I should talk about via email (just hit reply),ย Instagram, orย Twitter.

The best way to support is always to share ๐Ÿ˜„

Cheers,Kyle
