Show Stuff Get Stuff!

In the world of Every Day Carry, or EDC, there’s a longstanding tradition of posting photos of a “pocket dump”, or “hand dump”, where the person lays out everything they have in their pockets and snaps a photo of it to then show off to their friends and followers on social media. Check out the great shot above, from our buddy @Furrdogg, that appeared in our August newsletter.

We’re fans of the EDC movement and always enjoy a good pocket dump photo, especially when they feature a CanYouHandlebar product. Since our products are designed with your EDC in mind, we wanted to give you a chance to show off your pocket dump with the chance of adding to it in the process.

Post your best pocket dump photo, like any of these that you see here, that includes your CanYouHandlebar product of choice, on either Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. Be sure to use the hashtag #ShowStuffGetStuff, and feel free to tag CanYouHandlebar and our other four sponsors: Saddleback Leather, Karas Kustoms, Red Raven Hanks, and Rite in the Rain.

To all of you future customers out there, if you don’t have one of our products but still want to participate, simply write CanYouHandlebar on a piece of paper or something else and include that in your pocket dump photo.

On September 7, 2015, the winner will be chosen based on overall photo composition and originality of presentation. This isn’t a contest to see who has the most expensive ensemble or who has the most CanYouHandlebar products, and we know that a lawyer’s pocket dump may look different than an EMT’s. Just show off your pocket dump, show off your CanYouHandlebar products (or substitute, as mentioned above), and show off your individuality.

Our grand prize winner will not only receive an assortment of CanYouHandlebar products to make sure that your facial hair is in its best shape, but also a wallet from Saddleback Leather, a pen from Karas Kustoms, a handkerchief from Red Raven Hanks, and pocket notebooks from Rite in the Rain, all of which will take your EDC to a whole new level.

Two randomly selected winners will also receive a CanYouHandlebar Every Day Care Kit.

Rules:

Post your pocket dump photo to Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. before 11:59 PM ET on 9/7/2015.
You must use the hashtag #ShowStuffGetStuff for your entry to be counted.
You may post on all three social networks if you wish, but your photo will only be counted once, and multiple entries will still only count as one.
Be sure to include a CanYouHandlebar product in the photo or something bearing the CanYouHandlebar name.
This one isn’t mandatory, but strongly encouraged: Go visit all of the sponsors at the locations below.
The winners will all be announced on 9/9/2015 and everyone will have a shot at a special deal from CanYouHandlebar on that day.

Beard Art, a giant satellite, pens, and pocket dumps

Beards in Art

This is Beard Buddies, by artist Tripper Dungan. We were recently turned on to Tripper's works, a number of which feature beards. Head over to our blog and learn some more about Tripper in our feature, "Beards in Art: An Interview with Tripper Dungan".

Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute

This is Benjamin. He is a student at Brevard College just outside of Asheville, NC. He's currently working at the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) as an Instructional Counselor in the "Above and Beyond: Astronomy, Physics, and Astrobiology" program.

Benjamin had this to say about CanYouHandlebar: "I was so happy when a friend of mine told me about your company. I told them I was having trouble finding a wax that could keep up with my busy lifestyle. I am very active, mostly outdoors in hot conditions. I need a strong wax to keep my prized handlebars up and in their full glory all day. While I was waiting for my first shipment, I felt like a kid on Christmas eve. Luckily, this company has one of the most prompt shipping departments I've ever encountered."

"The day arrived! My sagging, sad mustache and I ran to the mailbox! I ripped the package open, and dipped the awesome pick that came with my tin right in. Since that day I have not used another product! The Original Can You Handlebar Secondary Mustache Wax is the king of all facial hair products!"

Customer Photo of the Month

Are CanYouHandlebar products part of your EDC? They are for Adam Swanson aka @Furrdogg. Tag #CanYouHandlebar in your Instagram photos to be featured in an upcoming newsletter.

Karas Kustoms

Karas Kustoms is an Arizona based company that manufactures everything from keychains to speedsters to a number of machined pens. The CanYouHandlebar staff has been sampling a number of different Karas options and we are very impressed with the craftmanship.

All of their pens are thoughtfully designed, attractive, and functional writing instruments. We'd use them even if they didn't have a number of bearded staff members who are fans of CanYouHandlebar; it's just a fortunate coincidence that they do :) Visit them online at KarasKustoms.com and be sure to follow them on Instagram @KarasKustoms.
