HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
THE STORY
My journey here began in late 2021, after working three seasons in wildland fire—two in dispatch, one on an engine. While forging connections in the tight-knit fire community, I began to see some of the various struggles wildland firefighters face—including lack of financial support during times of medical emergencies. By the end of 2021, I felt a profound calling to contribute in a unique and slightly unconventional way.

Oh my sweet baby Jesus!
I just got Modoc, Prescott, and Shasta T. and now I have to figure out which one is going in the car first.
Each of these scents smell exactly as described, and they are absolute perfection. They are beautiful to look at as well. The packaging is on point.
I love, love, love them. 10 out of 10, highly recommend.
