We wanted to come up with an exciting incentive for you awesome supporters to share our campaign, so we teamed up with KickBooster! They're a super cool service that helps creators give back to their backers for helping us spread the word. This is also a great way to make sure you get the color you want. The more backpacks we sell, the more colors we can offer. We also have some other ideas on things to include as stretch goals if we can sell more packs.
It's really simple.
You share our campaign through KickBooster on Facebook, Twitter, your blog, email, etc. and you'll get 15% of every dollar pledged from you sharing it! So if your friend buys a backpack from your sharing efforts you will get $17.40. If 100 friends get a backpack, you'll get $1,740. It's a win win win situation. We're able to get more people stoked on our products, your friend gets an awesome backpack, and you make some money!
Thanks again for all of your support!
Keep Adventuring,

STRETCH GOALS
Now for what everyone is reading this email for....
We want to know from our valued backers (YOU) what color scheme you want to see next! At $150,000 we will be unlocking an additional color and want your help choosing what that color will be! We also plan to unlock additional colors as we hit bigger numbers.
We will be sending a survey to all of you in the coming days to help aid in our decision, but wanted to tease you with some of the color options now....
DRUMROLL PLEASE...... Introducing the stretch goal color options....
Stealth: Black on Black
Blue Highlights
Light Gray Highlights
Red Highlights
Do keep in mind we have MOQ's (minimum order quantities) per design that we need to hit with our manufacturer, so we are doing our best to offer as many different options for you all as possible, but depending on what people end up ordering, that will determine what color ways we end up choosing.
What can I do to get the color I want?
We still have 25 days left in our campaign, so share, post, back, and tell your friends, mom, dad, and crazy aunt to buy a bag. The more backers and money we raise, the more colors we will be able to offer. Share on Facebook, Post on Twitter and email to your adventure buddies (http://kck.st/2ulRRd8).
Adventure On!

WE JUST HIT OUR GOAL
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, get your passports and hiking shoes ready because you're officially getting the Wanaka Backpack and Adapt Adventure System!
We just hit our goal and I hope you're are as excited as we are! This means that no matter what, come hell or high water, we're getting the best adventure pack into your hands to take with you all over the world.
We can't thank you enough for your support. An insane amount of hard work and time has gone into designing and producing this backpack and it is so rewarding to see everyone so excited about it! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Mooney Falls, Havasupai AZ
In the last year of designing and testing prototypes, we've had these backpacks in 8 different countries. From 11,000 feet elevation in 0 degrees (f) while ski touring to backpacking through South-East Asia to trail-running/hiking through the Dolomites in Italy, we've put these things through the wringer... and they're RAD!
Each time we use them we find a new way the Wanaka Backpack and Adapt Adventure System solves problems we all face during our travels and adventures. We travel and adventure with the best of them and we wouldn't sell a product that we wouldn't buy and use ourselves. This thing is the real deal.
So now what?
Well, we still have A TON of time left in our campaign and we could really use your help to make the most of that time. You can help us by sharing our campaign with your friends. We have some exciting stretch goals planned so if we sell more backpacks it's a win-win situation! Please do us a quick favor and share the following:
We would truly appreciate it and so will your friends :) Becuase who wouldn't want the best travel and adventure pack out there?
We have been in constant communication with our suppliers and manufacturers to keep them up-to-date on the latest order quantity projections. They will be ready to roll as soon as our campaign ends so we can get these backpacks to you as soon as possible!
We can't thank you enough for your support.
Adventure on!
