THANK YOU FOR 10 AMAZING YEARS!
YELLOW BIRCH OUTFITTERS IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING ORDERS
The last 10 years has been an amazing ride, full of highs, lows and some amazing people. Lots of new friends, and the ability to express my creativity in whatever way I pleased. When I created the PoicKit, I had no idea the journey I would go on. The reality of the situation is that the knockoffs of my products by the likes of Viperade and Hide and Drink have done so much damage to sales that keeping the shop open is just untenable.
Let this shop tell a story to the entire community. There are a lot of fantastic makers out here, busting their backs trying to make a living in what is an incredibly tough economy to do so. So do them all a favor, and support the real deal. I know the cheap stuff looks the same, but I promise you it isn't. None of it is innovation. If you don't support the innovators, the market will die.
The biggest adventure I went on with YBO however was one of faith. This shop has brought me home to the Lord, and He has put it on my heart to finally say this needs to end, and to follow him to my new path. We are in the process of shutting down. The time has come, and the Lord has called me. I have boiled my yoke and oxen as it were and will pursue my calling to ministry. The instagram will change to follow me through, and I fervently hope you will follow along, it's going to be something to see, I'm sure of it.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart I thank each and every one of you.
God bless you all.
