DECKED Ambassador Jackson Marvell has every reason to brag: He was a part of the three-man crew to make a first ascent of the hardest route on a monster Nepalese mountain, sans air tanks, fixed ropes, or food caches.
(We think he “accidentally” left them in his DECKED truck bed storage system. Oops.)
Although he nearly lost three fingers to frostbite in the process, Jackson and friends summited the north face of Jannu (25,295 feet) alpine-style in 7 days.
His adopted mantra and philosophy, “No Weak Shit,” came from his mentor Scott Adamson. To Jackson, this means you go out there, make the right decisions, and get it done. That philosophy kept him going through the physical and emotional rigors climbing in brutal temperatures, pelted by ice and rock constantly falling, and surviving on 500 calories a day for a week.
Organization is key for someone like Jackson; he relies on his DECKED Drawer System for easy access to those niche climbing pieces. When he needs an emergency road kit or a bin to stash his stinky summit clothes, DECKED’s D-Co Storage Cases are the first things he grabs.
The humble Utah native doesn’t dwell on praise, however. He makes sure to point out his down-to-earth qualities, too.
Like how his other career is spent as a journeyman welder, fixing everything from I-beams to offshore oil rigs. Or how he likes to go fast … resulting in five totaled trucks.
Somehow, that inspired DECKED, makers of truckbed organization equipment that survives everything from hunting trips in Hawaii to contractors’ smorgasbord of tools, to bring Jackson onto their team. Even after they saw the images of his multiple smashed-up Tacomas.
Watch this episode of DECKED’s This Is Getting After It for more of Jackson Marvell’s humble accomplishments — like hosting a kegger complete with a hot tub on top of a remote spire, and keeping his hobbies organized with a DECKED D-Cosystem setup.
