Redfish Can’t Jump on TV + Contest

Friday, December 31st, 2010

Nearly a year after our film premier in downtown Wilmington, NC, Redfish Can’t Jump is finally coming to TV. Showing for the first time in High Definition, WILM channel 10 (the CBS affiliate in Wilmington), will air the film in its entirety with never before seen interviews and footage. We’re excited about the opportunity to have a brand new audience for RFCJ. Please mark your calendars for the shows. There will be two airings: January 1st (7pm-8pm) and January 29th (12n-1pm).

Shop Saturday to help Habitat for Humanity

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

The first Saturday of each December, Great Outdoor Provision Co. donates 5% of sales to local Habitat for Humanity affiliates. Habitat brings families in need together with volunteers and resources to build decent, affordable housing. Join us Saturday, December 4th to Gear Up for GOOD!

THANKS for your Support: As a wilderness outfitter, we equip folks so they are comfortable in the outdoors. The thought of voluntarily leaving a warm, dry home requires the confidence that one’s gear is adequate protection for the journey. Shelter, food, and clothing, things normally taken for granted, become a priority as we embark into the wild. And for the adventurer, the return to a home affords the opportunity to savor the memories of the trip. Habitat Day reminds us that not everyone has an affordable home.

This year, through the generous support of MSR & Therm-A-Rest, our “Staying Warm from the Inside Out” campaign can spread the vision of “every family in a healthy home, a peaceful neighborhood, in a sustainable, diverse, tolerant, and vibrant community.” We appreciate the help that you provide in support of Habitat for Humanity by shopping with us on Saturday, December 4th.
