What is the Field Gear Co-Op—This initiative followed a DEC office hour discussion in 2020 regarding financial barriers and equity in field work—particularly access to (often expensive) field and camping gear. A group of us at the time, including Caroline Cappello, Jordan Claytor, Luke Weaver, and Alex Lowe created a cooperative gear exchange as a small step towards making the right field gear accessible for all undergraduate and graduate students. Because the sheet was owned by a since-graduated UW email account, it was subsequently lost.
