Repod-It!

We are really stoked to bring you a bunch of new stuff on the Repod-It! feed in 2022. In this episode, I chat with you guys about all the new things we have ahead. First, we are going to reframe how we post our gear stories. We are also going to continue more Feature Series. We have one running about Mount Rainier right now, and will have more of those moving forward! We will be launching a new podcast focused on Skiing and Fishing - this will be posted on the Repod-It! feed for now, but sometime in 2022 we might move it to it's own new Rerouted Podcast feed. We are going to be looking into releasing some Repod-It! video content for you guys, but there will be more information to follow on the new podcast, and video! Lastly, we are going to be releasing another highlight reel this year, featuring all of our favorite moments of 2021 on the podcast! Tune in to find out more about all of these things!

Today, we start our special series of episodes featuring Mt. Rainier, and Rainier National Park. Throughout this series we will speak to a few different guests who have different levels of experience climbing and hiking. Our first episode features a good friend of mine from the radio business, Rob Harwood, who shares with us his experience hiking in some of the areas surrounding Mount Rainier. While he didn't make an attempt at climbing the mountain, he shares some very cool hikes that people can experience without preparing for an intense climb to the highest point in Washington State.

Today, we revisit my favorite episode and interview that we have conducted on Repod-It to hear from Conrad Anker. Conrad tells us about not only his favorite piece of gear that he uses nowadays, but also tells us about some special pieces of used gear that he had when he was younger, and just getting into the outdoors. If you want to hear more from Conrad, our full interview with him will be linked here.

Carrie Hoffman tells us about a very special tent that she has had for many years. Carrie has well gotten her use out of this tent, and it has served her extremely well over the course of it's life.

Giles joins us once again on his second Repod-It appearance! He sits down with us to talk about his converted camper, and adventure vehicle - his 2001 Toyota 4Runner. This is more than just a car for Giles, it's a tool that has unlocked his ability to experience hundreds of adventures in which he might have otherwise been excluded from participating.

In today's compilation episode, we listen back to the last couple of weeks of gear stories! You will hear from Rerouted VP of Finance and Strategy, Chris Wilsey, as well as Cyrus Faramarzi from our surfing episode. This compilation episode wraps up hearing about the ingenuity of the Hardway Home crew, as well as a little story about my personal osprey backpack!

For the second time, Mason Gravley from Athletic Brewing Company and the Adventure Sports Podcast joins us on the show to talk about his favorite trip from 2021, and get an update on how he's doing!

My good buddy Cyrus Faramarzi joined the show a few weeks ago to chat with us about surfing! He shared about the first real surfboard he ever bought, a Degree 33 hardtop, which he absolutely loves.

Our very own Rerouted VP of Finance and Strategy, Chris Wilsey, joins us to chat about his first experience using liner socks - and why he will never go on another hike without them.

Today's gear story is a little bit different. Ray, Chris, and Ryen from the Hardway Home joined us a while ago to share about their excursion they set out on this summer. Instead of their favorite piece of gear, they shared about an unexpected life-saving piece of equipment.
