$100K in under 2 Weeks! New Stretch Goal Opened!
over 7 years ago – Thu, Oct 06, 2016 at 10:55:43 PM

Thanks to Backer Arby L. for putting us over the $100K Milestone! With all this support, it makes us feel incredibly thankful. What should we send him so we can give back a little bit and say thanks? A Wazoo Survival Bracelet? A Paracord Hide Koozie? A Custom Burnable Business Card with his name on it? 

(comment below with creative ideas)

This $100K success comes with a stretch goal achieved and a new one opened up. 

We will be giving each backer 1 high-temperature water bag (in addition to any that are coming with your kit). They pack to be the world's smallest 1-Liter water container, so they can be stashed in the belt of course, but likewise, can be stashed in the Cache Cap or even a classic Altoid's Tin-style survival kit. They are a Wazoo original product that we think you'll really like to have an extra of.

With one stretch goal achieved another BIG one has popped up in its place. Secretly, we have been prototyping this one for a while and many of you have been asking about it.... 

How about...

A Cache Belt option with a D-Ring Cobra Buckle!!!!?

***More details as we get closer!

We still have 32 days left! 32 days of new stretch goals! 32 days of bringing more backers on board this train!

Please share this project with anyone you know that wears pants and loves adventure!

The 50k unlocked better firesteels for everyone! (assuming you get a belt kit that comes with a firesteel in the first place)  

We have a few more ideas in store, but let us know what you wantto see as future stretch goals.  Let's get stretchy!

We are in the Top 20 Most Popular Projects of Kickstarter!!!
over 7 years ago – Thu, Sep 29, 2016 at 12:15:00 PM

After only 4 days on Kickstarter, here are the numbers and they are UNBELIEVABLE!

• #17 most popular project out of all 4,402 live projects on Kickstarter!
• #4 most popular out of all 504 in the Design category
• Trending toward $600,000 to be the most successful belt on Kickstarter ever!
• Over $60,000 Pledged already
• Over 1000 Backers already
• Over 800% Funded

 

 

Keep up the conversation!

Please keep the ideas and inquiries coming! Many of you guys/girls are incredibly clever and knowledgable and we're honored to have you as part of this community. We have plans to expand the options for this belt (did someone just say "Cobra Buckle"?...No? Maybe I just misheard something). 

Even though we are showing to be wildly successful so far, please remember we are not even a week into this thing and this is our first Kickstarter, we are still trying to play catch-up and figure things out, so please bear with us if we haven't answered your question or responded to your comment. Ask anyone in the Wazoo Nation, we will take care of you, I promise!

This is just the beginning!

Some of our ranking and trends were actually higher and have started to decline. We started the race way ahead of the pack, but now this is the time we need to keep the pace up or else we are going to lose the lead we've worked so hard for. We're going to need to harness all the horsepower of this community! Mo' money doesn't necessarily mean mo' problems. For the Cache Belt, it means more options, more members contributing to the project, more opportunity to make this project even better!

Help!

We need you! And you, and you too! Here at Wazoo, we're doing a lot to get the word out about this project, but it will never be enough. The Cache Belt's success depends on the word-of-mouth marketing from the backers that helped this thing come to life. The real behind-the-scenes heroes of this thing.

Here's some ideas of how you can help spread the word:

• Do you frequent any Forums or Subreddits,? Start a new thread,!
• Do you pay attention to any Facebook Pages? Suggest they share this project!
• Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest much? Hashtag, @, Pin, and repost away!
• Know any cool websites that like to feature new cool products? Let 'em know!
• Bored waiting in line at the grocery store and notice that the person in front of you is wearing pants? Tell 'em about a belt they need, the Cache Belt!
• Pretty much anywhere you find out about new stuff, could be a place to tell others about this project.

Lastly, but foremost... THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

 

Stretch Goals Are Here
over 7 years ago – Sun, Sep 25, 2016 at 06:22:54 PM

Since we had such great response on the first day, we blew through our goal and wanted a way to thank you.  It took us a little while to get some stretch goals set up, and in doing so, the first one should be a freebie! You're almost there already. 

We worked up a new design for a custom ferro rod that's larger, easier to use, and will get you thousands more strikes.  We also designed a few new artworks for the Cache Koozie add-on that we're excited to show you, but we can't let you see them until you unlock it. If you keep unlocking them, we'll keep coming up with more for you.

Let us know if you have any ideas for future stretch goals you'd like to see.
