Engearment Podcast - Wrapping Up 2023 and Lots to Look Forward to in 2024!

What a year 2023 was! Engearment covered hundreds of gear reviews, interviews and events. The Team grew. We did our best to step up production too. Beacon Bash was a success (and we took over Red Bulls DJ set up LOL)

2024 is here and we have some fun events coming up - Beacon Bash in Sante Fe, Backpacking with Outdoor Vitals, OMA trade show, LOTS of winter gear coverage too.

Molly Avrin - Adventure Dog Channel and Pete's Adventure Pack

Molly is a professional relationship focused trainer that teaches people how to build fulfillment and connection with their dogs.  

In this episode we cover dozens of questions on how to build a healthy relationship with dogs and best practices.  Heck, I learned a lot of things to improve on!

Molly also created an online school and virtual meeting space called "Adventure Dog Channel"  It is very well made and covers many topics on training with dogs - leach, crate, place, off leash, horses, biking, hiking and loads more.

6th Annual Beacon Bash at Winter Park

In this episode of the Engearment Podcast, I give the history of the Beacon Bash - starting with Will Coleman's vision and the might of Wade Lancaster to create the incredibly helpful fundraising event.  Now in our 6th year - we are formally a non profit (501C3) and are operating on an even higher level with the help of Sean Eno and Weston, Justin Ibarra and Scott Mahoney of Colorado Adventure Guides and Rhema Ward of Women Who Splitboard and Sean Sewell of Engearment.

Working directly with Winter Park Ski Resort to create a very approachable, free event, aimed at educating how an Avy beacon, probe and shovel work, while also allowing advanced backcountry users the opportunities to hone their skills in several beacon parks (operated by Friends of Berthoud Pass, Ortovox and BCA).

With a full on raffle of epic proportions to raise money for Friends of Colorado Avalanche Information Center, Friends of Berthoud Pass, Grand Country Search and Rescue and the Winter Park Dog Rescue Team.  We have several Splitboards from Arbor, Weston and Venture. Clothing from Arcteryx.  Goggles from Zeal.  Education packages from CAG.  Ski racks from Yakima.  Backpacks from Gregory.  And dozens more prizes you can win.  All money going to the non profits.

The 2023 Engearment Holiday Gift Guide is here! 

In this episode, I go over each of the items we have listed in our annual gift guide and why we chose them.  Each item also has a detailed video and or written review to show you how the gear works and the clothes fit.  This is not some sponsored gift guide or a lazy list of affialte links.  This is months of testing and recommendations from the Engearment Team!

StrongFirst Teachers of Strength. Pavel, Brett Jones, Beacon Bash Update

I had the amazing opportunity to work with Pavel, Brett Jones, Fabio, Analisa Naldi, Yoana Teran, and Doc Hartle this last weekend for the StrongFirst Teachers of Strength meeting and the Programming Demystified Seminar.  I got to provide the audio and video for the international event and host the Zoom meeting with over 100 students all around the world! Quite an honor!

Pavel then handed me his newest book - Kettlebell Axe.
