Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show 205 - Live from Beus Trailhead
First podcast on location inside the Tan Van! Powered only by the Goal Zero Sherpa 50.
The power of a Sherpa, wow! Picked up a Goal Zero Sherpa 50 kit with a 110V Sherpa Inverter this past February thinking it would work well as a backup in my camper van, or even an impressive charger on the trail and in the backcountry, but didn't believe it would push a Mackie ProFX 12 mixer board, and a headphones splitter for well over an hour! Making this discovery through some at-home testing, we decided to road test the Sherpa 50. We didn't travel far from home in case the Sherpa 50 grew tired of heavy watt lifting. So, Beus Trailhead served as our first on-location, off-grid podcast.
Prior to the recording, good friend, and friend of the podcast, Scott Rodrock, joined us for a quick burn hike up Beus Trail. For the unfamiliar, Beus is the perfect summer hike as the first mile is mostly shaded and follows a refreshing stream East, eventually climbing to Mt. Ogden. We stopped far short of the peak in the portion of the hike known as Fern Valley. A beautiful and overgrown section reminiscent of Jurassic Park.
