Enjoying The Outdoors Amid A Pandemic

The Backpacking Experience unpacks the experiences we have in the backcountry with interviews from fellow hikers, education and trip reports. We're here to share our passion for backpacking and create a platform for others to share the experiences they have had on the trail. We'll talk with business owners about the gear that helps facilitate these experiences and provide education about backcountry travel through real experience on the trail.
The Backpacking Experience is hosted by Devin Ashby, a Utah native, and is supported by the Backcountry Exposure YouTube Channel.  Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebackpackingexperience/support

Tayson and Brigham from Outdoor Vitals join me to discuss how outdoor gear products are developed and brought to market. We talk about how fabrics are chosen, how ideas turn into samples, and how a product becomes something a customer is able to start using out on the trail.
