Thanks Donald, I’m still super glad you’re dead.
On June 29, 2021 Donald Rumslfeld, to the immense benefit of America, Humanity and Mother Earth, passed on to the Known Unknown we call death. Before that he did a bunch of politics, most notably as Secretary of Defense during the first Bush administration. During which time, on February 12 , 2002 he said, in response to increased pressure and pushback and outrage regarding all the many and substantiated reports coming back from Iraq that no Weapons Of Mass Destruction—the only other enjoyable byproduct of the war in Iraq that I’m aware (#39)—had been found because they didn’t exist and he but he was still trying to stall and lie about their fictional-ness.
“’Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”
In 2002 I was thirty-two years old and while I considered Donald Rumsfeld to be a deplorable monster, I was very very very very stoked on this new phrase-idea he had just introduced to me even though, at the time, I thought he was just making shit up and having fun with the english language in an effort obfuscate.
Turns out Philosophers and Navy Seals have known about Known Knowns, Known Unknowns and Unknown Unknowns for hundreds and hundreds of years because it’s a solid framework and/or way of thinking for stuff like Risk Assessment, Analytical Sciences and Mythical State of Philosophies including but not limited to Line Planning and Product Development.
Speaking of which, here are some products we’re currently working on regarding which we’d love your feedback. Please let us know what you think. Seriously, let’s get this Product Development conversation started.
- A denim hoodie because denim is durable and fashionable and everything should have a hood.
- A flap hat.
- Aftermarket pockets.

VISUAL INSPIRATION BETA:
BLANKET OR TOWEL
More than a reliable purpose, a destination, or extensive provisioning, any Subject Athlete / Cardio Goth / Endurance Cult Member headed Inside The Outside requires for success in any endeavor or pursuit only a quality Blanket or Towel. Either can be fashioned into a jacket, as in a capote, or a cloak or cape. They can be used to wrap and therefore protect your valuables during travel, as well as camouflage said valuables regrettably but necessarily left overnight in an old car in a dimly lit motel parking lot. For drying, warmth and a place to sit and/or change pre-and-post hot spring, swim hole, hobo slap, etc. Or, as a bedroll; a napkin (albeit an oversized napkin); a pillow; a sack or makeshift bag; a brightly colored and nicely delineated picnic or lunch spot; for love-making; in defense against nearly feral or overly habituated animals; a lightweight saddle alternative; fire containment; and for bivouacking and/or enhancing an otherwise primitive shelter. For wound care and poultices. For protection against the elements like dust, wind, direct sunlight, etc., as well as volatile and/or tempestuous weather. For insulation, be it fixed, semi-permanent or temporary. To appear period-correct, if said period is the whole of the 1800s and/or right now. As a regular blanket and/or ad-hoc, burrito-style mummy bag. And finally, if need be, both can be soaked in various nutrients, broths, herbs and tinctures for later oral or topical application.

You are an Earthling and Mother Earth is your context yet everyday of your life almost everything you do is predicated on fiction. Money, language, nationality, social media, politics, algorithms—it’s all fictional. They exist because as a culture we agree that they exist otherwise it’s all literally fake. We are surrounded, inundated and overwhelmed at every turn by shit that doesn’t matter and isn’t real. But nature is real. The Outside is real. And our experiences there are real. Go Inside The Outside and be the animal capable of joy, transformative pain, empathy and connectivity that you really are.

You are a horse. You have power and speed. You are capable of crossing great distances with or without a load. You have great hair, which, when it comes to your mane and tail, you can wear and style many different ways including braids and plaits. You come in many different colors and patterns. You can cross rivers and mountains. You are the ultimate adventure vehicle. You’re super good at endurance. When you push your PHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL, MENTAL and EMOTIONAL limitations without causation it can and will lead to transformation, which itself can and will lead to transcendence, which is how a Pegasus is born.
100% COTTON—MADE IN AMERICA—CLASSIC 90’S CUT FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE INSIDE THE OUTSIDE—SEWN, DYED AND SILK SCREENED BY HAND IN LOS ANGELES—MADE IN COLLABORATION WITH AFTER SCHOOL PROJECTS.
COTTON KILLS, IT. @;
- KEEPING YOU COOL WHEN IT’S WET: In the summer, cotton is straight-up a technical fabric because it keeps you cool when it’s wet, which is desirable on a hot and humid day.
- HAND FEEL: Tees have been made from cotton since the dawn of time because nothing feels better on your skin than cotton. Yes, other natural fabrics like merino and hemp can and do sometimes feel great but never as reliably and consistently as cotton. Cotton T-shirts are the most iconic pop lifestyle artifact ever made.
- DURABILITY: Cotton is as tough and rugged as you are.
- BEING FIXABLE: Eventually it will fail because you will wear it all the time—day after day, year after year— but don’t fret, cotton is v easy to darn or repair with patches or whatever, also, if and when it comes to repairing your cotton tee—you’re welcome for the opportunity to add flair and augmentation.
- WABI-SABI!
- BEING A TOWEL IN PLACE OF AN ACTUAL TOWEL for whatever because Absorption Tech™. Cardio Goths, Subject Athletes and Endurance Cult Members have used cotton t-shirts in place of an actual towels since the dawn of Inside The Outside; as a towell (hand and/or wearable) post hot spring or swimming hole event, in place of a napkin or tissue while eating, has head gear under a cap (or solo) on super sunny and hot days, etc.
- LOOKING GOOD: Synthetic or “Tech” shirts suck at looking good in 99.9% of environments and lighting conditions. They also smell bad and are uncomfortable in all casual and most athletic scenarios.
- PRINTING AND ART: Silk Screening is an ancient and venerable art form that works especially good on cotton.
