How Do You MK? - Rodney McDonald

Rodney McDonald, of ERSLA "Emergency Response Services for Latin America", wears his MK Original Mountain Pants as he films local firefighters.

 

 

 

“Living in a tropical environment such as Nicaragua will take a toll on clothing. Extreme heat, rain, and mud is just a part of everyday life.

 

I am the director for a non government organization that helps improved the emergency response services for Latin America (ERSLA).  We are constantly evaluating sites, delivering donated equipment, or organizing training for fire fighters, clinic workers etc. 

 

So far the only pants I have found that can take the abuse and still look good enough to wear to meetings with the government officials are Mountain Khakis.

 

Also being a photographer and videographer, I have to document all our activities. The hidden side pocket comes in handy when I am in large crowds or festivals and need to feel comfortable knowing my important documents (residency card or passport) are safe.

 

Mountain Khakis are perfect in the mud then washed on a rock,  hung on barbed wire to dry, then off to a meeting.”

How Do You MK? – Jacob Peacock

 "In August, I headed down to the Polochic Valley of Guatemala for a 10 day Humanitarian trip.  Of course, I had to pack man's best friend... my Alpine Utility Shorts.  I also added a pair of MK OMJs (Original Mountain Jeans) since I was going to be doing alot of manual labor and hiking through the jungles.  Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that the OMJs were not made for the rainy, humid Guatemalan weather - I only lasted in them half a day.  The Alpine Utility Shorts, on the other hand, went with me from Guatemala City to Antigua to the Polochic Valley and then accompanied me as I climbed the ancient Mayan ruins in Tikal.  Whether I’m travelling, hiking, working, or playing my Alpine Utility shorts have become my must have now – I will think about washing later.  How do I MK?  Anyway I can!”

How Do You MK? – Eric Krause

“I just wanted to give you all props on the Alpine Utilities.  I've put these through some serious abuse this summer and they've performed amazingly.  I've been working as a Wilderness Ranger in the Deschutes National Forest in Oregon which involves getting down and dirty at least 4 days a week.  After bushwacking, sliding down rock, and weeks of manual labor, they're still in great shape!  They even keep the mosquitoes off! Keep up the great work!”

How Do You MK? – Corbin Brady

It wasn’t too long ago when Corbin contact the MK Customer Service Department and request some defective pants.  We don’t have much use for defective pants after they are returned so we sent him some Original Mountain Pants and Alpine Utility Pants.  Check out what he made with them…
