No ordinary guy

Posted on March 30, 2011 by admin

When I first e-mailed Aaron Inman about the Wallup, I could tell he was no ordinary man. First of all, I’m up at 5 am and when I e-mailed him, he was up too. Up early, fast e-mail response? I liked his style and I knew he must have energy and drive. I had read his story of 11 years of research and development on the Wallup. I knew he lived in Spokane, Washington. Since I lived in Vancouver, Washington, I was convinced he knew all about camping, the rain and the challenges of the wind. Anyway, I wanted to know more about the Wallup, reviews, etc. It’s a new product so there weren’t many reviews at that time so I went searching. In the meantime, I learned a little history on Aaron Inman - the Wallup guy.

He grabbed the rattle off a live rattlesnake at a friends doorway and the next day was bitten by a bull snake because he wasn't fast enough.
He chased away three bears (momma and her cubs) once with his wife and in-laws watching
He was hit by a train with a good friend standing beside him and walked away
Floated face down in the river from a 32' fall off a bridge and wound up in the hospital (about the third time from his own injuries.)
Jumped off a 127 foot cliff into the water with one of his best friends (put him in the hospital again).
Lassoed a deer and caged it as was his duty as a block watch coordinator
Broke bricks with his head because he saw it happen at a Safeway promotion and thought to himself " I can do that". HE WAS 12 Years old!!!
Broke beer bottles over his head and ate the glass because he had to prove he was tougher than the guy showing himself breaking them over his head.
Does flaming num chucks for show because he's just phenomenal at it.
Stitched himself up with a fishing hook in his lip because that's all he had .

Like I said, this is no ordinary guy. Now you know why the Wallup is so tough………..
