Meet Fayettechill's Field Reps: 21 Outdoor Leaders Across the World

As we cruise through the final month of 2016, we thought we’d give you a look behind-the-scenes at a group of our friends that took their stoke for Fayettechill to a whole new level this year. You may have met them at a local grass root event, seen some of their awesome shots on our social media, or maybe even read one of the blog posts they wrote. These folks bring a passion and knowledge of the outdoors that inspires the rest of us here at FC to keep suspending the world in nature through living a chill lifestyle.
