Afghanistan as it was really, really kicking off.

It was such a target-rich environment, there was so much badness out there.

You know, you couldn't go out enough.

Hunting high-value target individuals, you know, really attacking that network from the top.

When you're a Special Forces medic, you're going to see somebody with a leg blowing up or, you know, there's been shot. You have to deal with that.

I remember the first time I saw Special Forces. They just looked like rock stars.

And I remember saying to one of the guys I was on the gate with like, how do I become one of those guys?

How would you explain through that? blame through dark. It's a high performance out-to-ware brands. Special forces you get everything thrown at you.

And we still found fault with it so it's like maybe we can have a go at this.

How hard can it be? Our kind of mantra, our strap line underneath through dark is

endeavour through adversity. We wanted the brand to be super technical, to be the best outdoor brand.

But we wanted to just carve our own path.
