. This was the first year that  vendors helped support planning and initial financing of the SORUCK 
And we do  have to deal with the fact that the SORUCK requires financing. We must make  reservations, deposits, communicate and the like. We can either do that by  passing out the hat to RUCKers, expecting vendors to sponsor it all (it will  become a vendor controlled event), charge admission, or some combination. 
### I would like to know what vendors helped finance the Ruck.  I thought I did.  I have never said anything because I didn't think it was anyone's business.  I am the biggest anti-vendor at the ruck person I know.  There will be no passing of the hat or vendor sponsers if I have anything to say about it.  If someone thinks they paid more than their share, send me a bill, I'll pay it.  I have never tried to controll anything.  The only thing I have ever said is I don't want the Ruck to be about MONEY!!!
