    Gear Donations for Ukraine

    Wow, it is eye opening to see how much Russian propaganda has penetrated into some parts of US society. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue, both sides have strongly supported Ukraine. You can dislike the country or think it has issues, but there is no doubt that Russia invaded a country...

    Kuiu sleeping bag?
