Secondhand's Record Growth & The Barkley! Plus: Don't Be So Outdoorsy

Tired of the same old outdoor industry narratives? If your post-adventure chats are filled with laughter over mishaps, commiseration about broken gear, and celebrating real triumphs (and epic fails), then The Rock Fight is your new tribe.

Imagine this: you're no longer stuck in echo chambers. After listening in, you'll be part of honest, unfiltered discussions that mirror the conversations you have with your closest outdoor buddies. You'll gain fresh perspectives and feel more connected to a community that speaks your language.

On The Rock Fight we get into the topics others shy away from – the real, sometimes messy, and always engaging aspects of the outdoor industry and culture. Ever debated the best layering system for an imaginary ice planet adventure? We're there. Concerned about the true environmental impact of outdoor brands beyond the marketing spin? We're digging in.

We're not afraid to challenge the conventional and offer the candid insights you crave. 
We're those voices around the campfire, on the chairlift, and at the pub who aren't holding back.  Our diverse discussions are fueled by a genuine love for the outdoors and a healthy dose of skepticism towards the status quo.  Our goal is to create meaningful conversations and a stronger sense of community for outdoor lovers who are ready for something real.

So grab your rock, hit play, and get ready to step up and participate in The Rock Fight.
