The Systematic Dismantling of 245 Million Acres of Public Lands with the Conservation Lands Foundation - Public Lands News (Oct 20 - 24)

When starting a new outdoor pursuit, should you buy your gear or rent it first? Is renting gear only for beginners? What kinds of outdoor gear should you rent, and which ones should you buy? In episode 7 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, Reet Singh, co-founder of TripOutside, and I explore questions like this as well as the pros and cons of renting vs. owning, mindset surrounding *having* to own gear, and the ins and outs of the outfitter industry. Reet gets stoked about mountain biking, scrambling mountains, backcountry camping, snowboarding, and introducing others to outdoor adventure. Where to find him: Trying new experiences, meditating, playing with your dog, mountain biking, and falling from stuff. Founded by Reet and his wife Julie, TripOutside helps people get outside and enjoy human-powered adventures. The platform provides outdoor inspiration for human-powered adventures and allows users to discover adventures, check availability across local outfitters, and easy online booking.

What is outdoor minimalism? First and foremost, it is a lifestyle. It is a mindset shift that roots all of our outdoor recreation activities in minimalist philosophies. It is a way to combine minimalism, environmentalism, mindfulness, and essentialism and meld it into all of our outdoor pursuits. That's all easy to say, but how do you do it? To help you skip the learning curve I waded through, I wrote "Outdoor Minimalist: Waste Less Hiking, Camping, and Backpacking," your go-to handbook for how to lessen your impact as you play outside even before you hit the trail. The book is ideal for any outdoor enthusiast looking to enrich their experience and put these practices into place. The podcast then can be seen as an expansion of the book and a way to make the information more accessible through conversation.

In episode 3 of the Outdoor Minimalist Podcast, I will be discussing how consumers and brands can take steps to identify more sustainable product materials. This is a big topic that I felt was best discussed with an industry expert like Mary Swanson. Mary is the CEO and a co-founder of Lava Linens. Together, she, her mom, Sheila, and sister, Caitlin, create durable, luxurious adventure towels powered by flax and hemp - two of Earth's most impressive fibers. Lava Linens' aim is to be as sustainable and responsible as possible - not succumbing to the pressures of fast fashion nor to the norms of the outdoor industry while still creating high-performing, valuable pieces of outdoor gear.
