Speed Dating with Gear & Beer!

Live from Missoula, MT... it's GEAR & BEER! Today Colin & Justin dive offer their highlights of the Outdoor Media Summit 'gear speed dating' event. The duo share their top 5 favorite items for the event, including products from Old Town, Passenger, Patagonia, Nemo, and Lowa. And after bribing the guy at the hotel bar, they were able to pair all of this gear with a couple of Big Sky IPA's from Big Sky Brewing. Because even if they sky didn't look at that much larger outside the hotel window, the boys were still in Montana!(This episode was produced on location in Missoula, MT. Any weird audio echoes you may here is a result of the haunted hotel room it was recorded in.)Chapters:01:55 - Outdoor Media Summit Overview02:08 - Speed Dating Gear Event02:25 - Critiquing the Speed Dating Format06:38 - Highlights from the Gear Showcase08:47 - Old Town Canoe Innovation14:27 - Passenger's Sustainable Gear15:39 - Patagonia Waders Review17:23 - Nemo's Eco-Friendly Backpacks20:25 - The Best Chair: Nemo Stargaze22:09 - Lowa Boots and ATXHurricane Helene Relief Links:Fuel GoodsGoFundMe for Bubba O'LearysWestern North Carolina Hurriance Helene Resource GuideEast Tennessee Foundation Relief FundPlease follow and subscribe to Gear & Beer and give us a 5 star rating wherever you get your podcasts.Gear & Beer is part of the Rock Fight podcast network.
