This week’s episode of The Adventure Podcast explores one of the more important and meatier topics of our time –– what makes an outdoor gear shop great? My co-host Dave Adlard and I share our thoughts on what makes one store stand out from another, what we look for in a gear shop, and why its fun to visit these places. We also provide a list of some of our favorite gear shops that we’ve been in too, including a few legendary locations across the U.S.
Before we jump into that topic however, we first break down the latest adventure news with updates from the Himalaya, a look in on Fedor Konyukhov’s progress in the Southern Ocean, and a stunning new speed record from the world of ultrarunning. Later, we wrap things up by providing our latest gear picks, with reviews of a new case from Pelican and some outdoor apparel from 686.
