How would I go about getting possible sponsors to help me to do my dream hike?

For over 20 years I have dreamed of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, which travels over 2,600 miles from Mexico to Canada. After surviving over ten years of some pretty serious depression, I am finally ready to start a new life and would love to finally do the trail before I get too old! Do any boot, backpack, tent manufacturers etc. ever sponsor hikers in desperate need…and if so does anyone know how to go about asking or applying?

I am planning on writing a book and maintaining a web site about my struggles, both with the hike and the depression as well as (hopefully) my triumph in conquering both. I would be happy to put their logos all over my site, test their gear and give them reports, etc. I just don’t know how to get something like that going.

Thanks!

i would put up a website asking people to email or call you so that they can pledge. This girl I know did this with her MS Walk. They raised a couple thousand dollars.

For corporate sponsors, just write them or call their PR dept.

Tips when Shopping for Wholesale Backpacks

Types of Backpacks

Picking a backpack is more than just a fashion choice, it is a decision that can affect your health. Depending on the size of your load, you’ll need to choose a pack with sufficient support. The main categories of backpacks are backpacks with internal frames, backpacks with external frames, and frameless backpacks. Frameless packs are meant for lighter loads. This kind of backpack is simply a bag with straps that fit over the shoulders. More sophisticated frameless backpacks may have padded Shoulder Straps and backs for extra comfort and additional pockets to help organize your supplies.

Comfortable Hiking Backpacks

When carrying more weight or traveling longer distances, you will need a backpack with a frame. Hiking backpacks usually have an External Frame, made of a lightweight metal such as scandium or titanium alloys. The body of the backpack is cloth attached to the frame.  This frame supports the weight of the pack and then distributes the weight across your hips for a more ergonomically correct fit. Backpacks with internal frames are a recent innovation.  The concept is simple: a metal or plastic frame is sewn into the backpack for built-in support.  Plastic strips follow the shape of your back for a better fit.  Additional metal components may reinforce the frame. And when you go exploring in an urban setting, backpacks make perfect lightweight and convenient luggage.  Backpacking across Europe us a popular pastime for older teens and young adults. When weight is distributed properly, you can carry your backpack long distances without back pain or muscle strain.

Cool School Bags

Because of their versatility, backpacks, sometimes called knapsacks, are popular with students.  Kids’ backpacks give them more space when carrying books, binders, notebooks, lunch, gym clothes, and other essential school things.  Plus, many backpacks offer extra pockets that are perfect for pens, cellphones, and other gear.  Trendy backpacks are available in different designs and colors, often featuring the latest celebrities or television characters, giving kids a chance to express their individuality through a hip backpack. Young children enjoy carrying backpacks as a sign of their maturity and growing independence.  Even preschoolers and kindergarteners like to carry backpacks to have a special place to put their things.  Just remember, pediatricians advise that filled backpacks should weigh no more than 10-15% of a child’s body weight. Most school backpacks also have adjustable straps for a more comfortable fit.
