SHEPHERD ASSOCIATED
2nd GEN PRODUCT PHOTOS

If you’ve been following our Twitter and Instagram accounts, you would have seen the laser-cut panel additions to our core lineup.

The A40 family of pouches have been renamed to their Gen2 designation of A42; Small, Medium, Large, and Nalgene.

These four A42 models will come in a variety of colors and camos throughout the year, but our core restocks will be focused around Multicam and Ranger Green; both with Coyote Tan accents and hardware.

We’ve designed these to act similar to the Spiritus JSTA in the sense that they can be mounted by use of the MOLLE webbing OR belt-mounting on up to 2” wide belts.

TRANSPARENCY

I have been in contact with the last few customers in our 2022 backlog to finalize their orders- I cannot thank you for your patience enough. These orders have already begun shipping to updated addresses and will continue to do so over the next, final, workshop days for 1.0 orders. If you are still waiting on an order update or have not yet responded to a “request to update information” email, please check your inbox as these were sent within the past 48 hours to the few outstanding orders left in our system.

The Gen2 products you see here are endgame prototypes of what will become the Gen2 product line; I have not yet begun working on batching these products out for stocking inventory, nor will I until all backlog projects are finalized.

My tentative goal is to have all of the backlog orders done by the middle of this month, and have the first (smaller) batch of Gen2 items ready to go for the 4th of July.

AVENUES OF PURCHASE

Part of the work going on behind the scenes here is establishing more avenues for our customers, supporters, and community members to obtain products from us. We will have multiple other smaller businesses that will carry their own live inventory of Gen2 products. These partnerships will be announced at a later date after we have finalized everything with 1.0 orders.

EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS AND WAITLISTS

If you are chomping at the bit to get ahold of the first Gen2 drop from us; we’ve made it possible for you to get notified via email. Simply navigate to the product you wish to “waitlist” yourself on, make your selection for size and pattern, and enter your email to get notified when the product restocks.

This is THE fastest way to become notified of restocks as we move into the 2.0 business execution. The monthly newsletter will ONLY bring updates regarding seasonal color patterns, new product notifications- NOT restocking information.

SACO - Shepherd Associated Community Outreach

If you are from Maine or New Hampshire and are interested in learning more about the Shepherd Associated Community, we will be establishing the groundwork for a Community Outreach program over the coming months.

SACO will be looking for individuals with specific skill sets, such as individuals with backgrounds in EMS, Law Enforcement, Military, Recreational Guides, Radio Technology, Firearms Technology, among others. These individuals must stand ready to work in group settings, be willing to both learn and teach subject matter information, and uphold themselves in good moral status.

Our goal will be to facilitate and organize a group dedicated to being force multipliers for good- similar to the effect of the Appalachian Ranger Association of Tennessee. From Natural Disasters to Community Service, we are looking to implement a structured and educated group for citizens of our community to help at a moment’s notice.

More information about SACO will be coming soon, but if this piques your interest, please shoot us a DM on our Instagram page @shepherd_associated or via email through info@shepherdassociated.com
