I am pleased to announce that we have a winner for Robb's and Blueline's combined $100 gift certificate for the largest contribution by a forum member between the time he announced the challenge and the end of last month. The winner is proof to me that there is hope for the future, if he's an example. Rhawn Fischer wins the $100 gift certificate for his generous, especially for a teenager, $15 contribution. Not sure what else that says, but there you have it. Congratulations Rhawn! Treat yourself to something special.<br><br>And, a very special thank you to Robb and to Barry at Blueline for their generosity and support for Equipped To Survive.<br>

Wow, i wasnt really expecting this, it was only $15 dollars! and doug, you might want to edit your post, it says "Congratulations Shawn" (psst, my name is Rhawn!) lol, you can leave it its fine :)<br><br>im excited, as i just went camping, and some of my gear got ruined by rain, and the whole trip was horrible!<br><br>i used my psk to get a fire started (in the rain!) , i had to set a tinder on fire to get the pine twigs lit, and i finaly got it going. <br><br>Thanks Robb and Barry! and Doug!

Rhawn,<br><br>Hey, I got your name 50% right in the post, that should count for something. LOL! <br><br>I suppose your winning is proof that sometimes it only takes a little bit of extra effort to make a difference, so there's a survival lesson for everyone there as well.

Great job "Shawn!" <br> ( ok..ok....Rhawn)<br><br>...and the fact that you made the donation with the expectation that it would not be the winning one really speaks volumes--I see a very promising future. Hope that you enjoy the certificate--you really deserve it!<br><br>Take good care<br>
