This is a little 30 minute preview of the first episode of "Fireside Chats" which will be a Patreon exclusive show where I bring back guests that still have more to say and have a more informal chat with them. If that's something you're interested in then check out www.patreon.com/treesandnylon or the link in my bio and give it a listen.

Also, you if you do decide to support me (thank you by the way) then you will be charged the day you become a patron and then the first of every month every day after that.

Head of Global Creative, but really so much more, Tim Hamilton has lived a lifetime of experiences already and graciously has come on the pod to talk about them. I mean, anyone who wants to go to the Arctic for fun truly has lived a full life haven't they? I hope you all enjoy banter about fast fashion, the ethical dilemma of keeping t-shirts, and why North Face has so many Supreme collabs.

The man who has seemingly run all over the world has finally found his way onto the podcast. The talk with Patrick was super informative of what it's like to work in the industry and some of Patrick's takes on how fashion and sport differ. Overall a top chat with a man who's got his influence in many facets of the scene. I hope you enjoy!

Today we're joined by resident journalist for the gorpcore scene and mystery man himself, despite going by his full name, Ali George Hinkins. Buckle in and get for a nice talk about the writing process, learning how to go outside , and how to trick 28k people into thinking that your profile picture is actually a photo of you.

Trinidadian and tree hugger Rishi comes on the podcast to talk about learning about your local nature, living in the tropics, blowing up pipelines (as a joke)

Breaking barriers and also bones. Georgia Smith is on the pod to talk about the struggles of being a woman in gorpcore, going hiking on certain illicit substances, and retiring in the woods.

Mellow Clo's Founder, CEO, Creative Designer, CMO, etc. , Ted Lloyd is on the pod today to talk about starting a brand, standing out, and the future of Mellow Clo / gorpcore as a whole.

Don't let the 2 hour runtime fool you, there’s no time for dead air. This episode is jam packed with top tier knowledge and beautifully speculated takes from one half of the Orienteer Mapazine. Lots of amazing camping stories, talks of the future of gorp, and keeping the outdoors open to anyone who wants to have fun in it. I hope you all enjoy this one as much as I did in the moment and during the edit. Cheers!

Top lad and bargain bin monopolist Liam Money AKA foot__down is on the pod to talk about all things gorp. Get ready for extremely philosophical talks about buying gear and getting outside. With a side dish of dairylea dunkers.

Scholar and lore master of all things outdoors, Chase Anderson of outdoorrecarchive is on the pod. Get ready for some big talk about red rock and scanning in 2000 different magazine covers.
