"How often have we noticed that when we travel we suddenly end up consuming more fast food or junk food from fast food restaurants and convenience stores or notice backpackers who seem to be eco-conscious, but they end up purchasing gear that is not eco-friendly?
It is relatively easy integrating sustainable techniques in an established home setting, but we have observed that once a living situation has become mobile, the eco-friendliness seems to come to a halt."
Statik Mountain is proud to sponsor an initiative like JuntoVenture because of the awareness it promotes within society towards the topic of sustainability and an eco-friendly existence. We have donated our clothes to help the crew achieve their goal of sustainable living, one that we at Statik Mountain also hold dear.
To explain the nature of this project, one can find a great discription on the JuntoVenture website."JuntoVenture will be producing five film cuts, including one full featured length cut that will incorporate information regarding sustainable travel into an unforgettable adventure. The film will document a 60-day trek across some of North America's most pristine wilderness areas.
A two person film crew will follow two seasoned adventurers as they journey across North America via only fuel-efficient modes of transportation with a mission to travel eco-friendly. Along the journey they will encounter many hurdles and personal hardships as they strive to eat only locally grown organic food on the road, try to locate appropriate fuel sources for their vehicle, carry only eco-friendly products, make only eco-friendly purchases, and take the most eco-friendly routes for every encountered situation.
To heighten their experience the two travelers will meet with organic farmers, park rangers, business owners, and ecologists to provide their perspective on the changes that will be needed to promote sustainable travel."

Hi Peter,
I came across your Statik Mountain Co. blog after searching twitter for a link but no use... looks like the company is no more...
Well, I traveled Europe in 2007/08 wearing one of your bamboo t-shirts and wore it as a "travel-day" shirt due to its ability to dry quickly. All my other t-shirts were cotton so i made sure to wear the bamboo shirt while wearing my backpack.
I the shirt at Coquitlam Center at a store called Atmosphere, a store formerly known as Coast Mountain Sports. I love that shirt, i still wear it to this day in fact I’ll be wearing it camping this weekend!
So here are some links to my website called "thetravelapprentice.com" with some photos of me wearing your shirt. Enjoy!
