Lee Kimball went into the Oregon wilds for five days with only the brands his company represented and the well-wishes of his coworkers.
Roundhouse creative agency represents several outdoor brands. This year, the Portland-based company decided to put its clients’ products to the test (and drum up some online buzz).

But his tribulations proved both hilarious and perplexing.
