Brandi Bosworth with the Ogden Nature Center...

The annual WSU Outdoor Program Gear Swap is tomorrow!! Bigger and better than ever with more vendors including out-of-state participants with deals on gear that will blow your mind!

Daniel Turner in his 7th year at the Outdoor Program is bringing back TGR for their latest film, "Way of Life."

Greg had never run 100 miles, or 50 miles, or even 50K (31 miles), but on somewhat of a whim, his wife signed him up for the Bear 100. You know, to give him a push. Greg had just over three weeks to prepare. He finished. His time, 34 hours and 40 minutes. Hear how he prepared, formed an intelligent finishing strategy, and stuck to his plan.

Let's hope The Shutdown ends sooner than later...

GEAR:30 Buyer, Greg Reynolds, finished his first one hundred mile trail run last weekend. Crazy thing is he only had three weeks of preparation. We chat with him to learn how he went from "couch to hundy" in just days. And, no, it's not a recommended training strategy.

Listen to the Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show Episode 142 - Feels Like Fall:

Original Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show Crew - From Left to Right: Todd to the Top, Trippy Tressa, Host Brandon, Gear Junkie James

After three-plus years of broadcasting from KWCR studios, the Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show is now moving to the GEAR:30 Lounge. Huge thanks and gratitude to 88.1 Weber FM for allowing the OOA Show to air! 

"The Move" allows the OOA Show to bring in product reps and athletes who can promote and endorse which is not really allowed when broadcasting on non-profit airwaves. Also, because we plan to record live in the GEAR:30 Lounge, the public is invited to hangout with us and watch the podcast magic go down. So, join us live at GEAR:30, Thursday's between 1pm - 2pm-ish.

The format remains basically the same.
