We here at Oregon Pack Works are busy at various times of the year giving back in differing ways, to various causes.

Lately, we helped out on an important Mule deer migration fencing repair project that couldn't wait for an Insurance Company to fund repairs:

We enjoy giving back in many ways, from an Adopt-a-Highway section through Tumalo, Oregon, to various fencing projects to help Aspen or Western Juniper eradication project on Hart mountain National Antelope Refuge to help the Greater Sage Grouse.

We are into our second term of three-years, as a sitting member of the Steens Mountain Advisory Council (SMAC): https://www.blm.gov/get-involved/resource-advisory-council/near-you/oregon-washington/steens-mac

SMAC is a Federal Citizens Advisory Board, (FACA) that gives crucial input to the way the our Public Lands are managed, throughout the CMPA, on Steens Mountain.

We also donate each year to various Conservation Organizations (Oregon Hunters Assoc., BHA, TRCP, etc.) and donate to various organizations that suport our right to hunt and fish, and work for wildlife.

We may not talk a bunch about it, but we enjoy giving back for wildlife and great causes that support wildlife, fishing and the hunting lifestyle.

Pack Sizing Guides

How to Measure Yourself

A. Chest

Measure around the chest and body at its fullest part (typically right under the armpits and shoulder blades, right across the nipples)
Hold the tape against the body tight enough so that it does not slip down, but not so tight that it restricts breathing. It should be “snug”
Make sure the tape is horizontal and the person’s arms are by their side; then take a normal breath and measure
Do not puff out your chest
Double check this measurement

B. Sleeve

Keep your elbow slightly bent
Measure from the end of the right shoulder to the “Pinch” of the right hand
The “Pinch” of the hand is found where the base of the thumb and the base of the index finger intersect (approximately 1 inch above the index finger knuckle)
Double check this measurement

C. Waist

Measure around your waist at the level where you would normally wear your pant’s belt
With the tape measure snug around your waist, relax, and take the measurement

D. Inseam

Measure from the lowest part of your crotch area to the floor
Make sure the tape is tight along the inside of your leg, that you are standing straight, and then measure
Do not wear shoes!
