Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show 312 - OR Recap

View fullsize

Podcasting from the air conditioned GEAR:30 lounge. 

Ahhh, it's that time of year again, Summer OR, the greatest party in the outdoor industry. I mean, the highbrow gathering of outdoor industry professionals clinking Stanley shot glasses of fine whiskey lemonade over conversations of comparative Cuben Fiber products, recent epics, and athlete sightings. It's a fast and frazzling 4 days of wicked awesome gear, friends, and beer. All the beer. And, yes, sometimes whiskey. But, mostly beer. 

OR moved to Denver last year and our little OOA team has yet to make the trip. GEAR:30 Big Enchilada Buyer (official position title), Chase Moffett, did make the trip along with a small shop contingency, and reported back to us covering some of the fresh gear coming into GEAR:30, trends, and navigating the new mile-high facilities. 

On The Docket, Adventure News, Worth Listening, Worth Watching, Quote of the Week, Outdoor Jukebox and more, all on episode 312 - OR Recap. 

Enjoy!

WORTH WATCHING | TGR drops trailer for ‘Far Out’

Tour tickets, dates, and film info at: tetongravity.com/farout REI presents Far Out, a ski and snowboard film that embodies the imagination as much as it does a physical space. It is the quest to seek out undiscovered realms and inspire new waves of creativity, enlightenment, and progression.

WORTH LISTENING | Out Standing in a Field: Night Flight

Bats are one of the most prolific types of mammals in the world, but you might not know it since they spend most of their time quietly hunting insects in the dark. Podcasters Benjamin Zack and Leia Larsen met with biologists with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources as they set up nets to trap and measure bats living in North Fork Park. They helped debunk some of the myths and stigmas about the winged wonders while shining light on the animals' unique and secretive lives.
