What does it mean to //DIVERGE//?

            di·verge • [dih-vurj]
                 verb
                 1. to move, lie, or extend in different directions from a common point; branch off.
                 2. to differ in opinion, character, form, etc.; deviate.
                 3. Mathematics: (of a sequence, series, etc.) to have no unique limit; to have infinity as a limit.
                 4. to turn aside or deviate, as from a path, practice, or plan.

The earth lies somewhere under all that autumn snow, and you have two choices: 1.) follow some other guy's bootpack, or 2.) start breaking your own trail.

Sure, it would be easier to tread in the other guy's boot pack. You'd have solid footing, and the snow wouldn't mound up in front of you so bad. As you walked along, you would see where the other guy stumbled or slid or sank in deep, and where he had to backtrack from some insurmountable obstacle. And if you ended up in a place you didn't want to be, you could always blame the other guy. In every sense, following the beaten path is safe.

And yet to //DIVERGE// means freedom. It means solitude. It means challenge and self-reliance and, at times, danger. It isn't the path of least resistance. It's the path of risk and determination.

Sitka Gear was born from this path, from choosing to //DIVERGE//. Today, we build gear to keep you alive, comfortable, and mobile in the most demanding conditions imaginable. That way, you can focus on the pursuit.

The SITKA® //DIVERGE// PHOTO CONTEST is for hunters who go their own way. Not all of them pursue game in uncommon places, but they all see the world in uncommon ways. That's what makes their photos so captivating, so inspiring. They don't simply tell their buddy to hold an animal out at arm's length, say "cheese," and then snap the same old photo we've seen time and time again.

No. They capture the the fullness of the hunting experience. One look at their photos and you can smell the rain on the wind, feel the rising sun warm your cheeks, or hear a leaf fall in a dead silent wood. Their images draw us in and refuse to let go. They fuel our passion and our ambition, inspiring us to get out, go farther, and do more of what we love.

That's what the SITKA® //DIVERGE// PHOTO CONTEST is all about. The question is, do you have what it takes to //DIVERGE//?

If you win, you'll get your photo in the 2012 Sitka Gear Catalog, earning yourself a full Sitka System, from base layer to backpack. CLICK HERE to enter.
