June 01, 2023 Can Camping Be Comfortable? A Rebuttal with Matt Liddle
It's time for another rebuttal!
Matt Liddle from Snow Peak USA is picking a rock fight with Colin over Colin's takes on camping. First that a bed in a hotel is better than camping out and second that complex camp meals are overrated.
Hear both of those episodes of THE ROCK FIGHT here and here.
Snow Peak is the authority when it comes to camping so Matt is here to convince Colin he's wrong and teach him the ways of the Jedi Camper. Who wins this battle royal? You'll have to listen to find out.

May 25, 2023 Jorts, Button Downs and Looking Rad in the Outdoors
Whether you're a newb, a kook or a seasoned backcountry guide, we all want to look good when head outdoors and none of us can ignore that little voice that judges what others have on.
Today on THE ROCK FIGHT Colin and Justin go deep on why we can be so judgey when it comes to what others choose to wear on their adventures, the tribalism inherent in our community and why jorts are objectively rad.

Happy Noam Chomsky day!
Colin and Justin are here for another outdoor movie review, this time they watched 2016's CAPTAIN FANTASTIC.
