Kochel Guitars are created with reclaimed materials from Montana, combining history and tradition. The body of the guitars are crafted from antique wood salvaged from local buildings, originally erected from old growth timber. In this day and age when most things are discarded and forgotten, Kochel Guitars takes great pride in reusing our resources and preserving the past. These treasured guitars are steeped in history along with an American folk tradition.
Duckworth is one of the world’s only source-verified, single-origin, merino wool apparel company. The Montana-raised sheep spend the long, cold winter months on the Helle family ranch which hugs the boundaries of the Beaverhead-Deer Lodge National forest. Their open-range Montana merino sheep live between 5,000 and 9,500-feet elevation. The specific conditions of the Northern Rockies result in a rare wool, a soft durable fiber with exceptional loft and breathability. At Duckworth, knowing and using what’s in your own backyard is what really counts.
Megan Fisher is a Paralympic gold, silver, and bronze medal cyclist from the Rio 2016 and London 2012 Games, ten-time world champion, retired member of Team USA, high altitude mountaineer, Doctor of Physical Therapy, performance coach, and motivational speaker. Megan’s road to success has not been easy. When she was just 19 years old, Meg was involved in a tragic car accident that nearly killed her- leaving her in a coma and stealing the lower half of her left leg. A lifelong athlete, Megan has discovered that “We are all capable of more than we know.”
