An open letter & a proposition
I registered this domain two years ago because it was free and I figured someone ought to. That someone turned out to be me, Harrison, a guy who genuinely loves your gear and whose camping setup is embarrassingly incomplete. I come in peace.
Ottawa, Ontario · May 2025
To whoever at Nemo Equipment ends up reading this:
On July 18, 2023, I registered nemoequipment.ca through CIRA because it was available, and because I had one of those "someone should grab this" moments that occasionally strikes people who spend too much time thinking about the internet. I am, for what it's worth, a web marketing administrator by trade. Occupational hazard.
I did not register it to impersonate you, compete with you, or cause any trouble. I pointed it at a Google Sites page listing your products because I genuinely want your products, and I thought it would be funny. I still think it's a little funny. I hope you do too.
I've since noticed you've launched Canadian locale pages at nemoequipment.com/en-ca, which suggests this domain may be of some interest to you. I'm happy to transfer it. In exchange, I'd love to work something out — whether that's a modest cash arrangement, a gift card, or (and I say this with full awareness of how this sounds) some of the gear listed below.
There is no threat here. No lawyer letters, no holding anything hostage. Just a guy, a domain, and a very specific sleeping bag he's had his eye on since 2022.
The proposition

My most-wanted item. I camp with two other people regularly. This tent is the reason I started looking at Nemo gear in the first place.

Let's sort this out
I'm genuinely easy to work with. A conversation is all this takes. Cash, store credit, or gear — all of the above are fair game. I'm not looking to make anyone's day worse.
