Protect that valuable gear with Karmik Outdoors
Aaron Akins and Robert Gillingham hit upon a simple idea: Create an online lost and found service for outdoor enthusiasts. Simple, right? And pretty darn cool.
People lose stuff in the outdoors. It just happens. The rod tube cradling my beloved Winston 5-weight somehow took wing and soared out of my backpack and landed on a county road.
