24. Identifying Your Needs: Adventure, Gear, and Safety with Moose Mutlow

In episode 24 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we discuss needs. More specifically personal needs when it comes to adventures, outdoor gear, and safety.

During COVID-19, we saw a dramatic influx of new outdoor enthusiasts. This is great for many reasons, but it also means there are a lot more people entering outdoor spaces sometimes with very little knowledge of how to interact with the landscape safely and responsibly.

Even if you’re not completely new to outdoor recreation, maybe you’re like me and got into a new outdoor sport in the last couple of years. Anytime I start something new, I always go through a research and discovery process. This might look different for different people, but for me, I like to figure out what I might need, talk to people more experienced, and try things out a few times, adding gear gradually.

Getting hyperfocused on gear has its pros and cons, but in my experience, I’ve found it to be more detrimental than not. I could likely rant and rave about gear, marketing, and the psychology of shopping for quite some time, but instead, I’ll let my friend Moose Mutlow take the lead.

Moose Mutlow has been active in the outdoors for more than 30 years as an instructor and guide. Currently based in Yosemite National Park he is the senior project director for NatureBridge the largest provider of Environmental Education in the US National Park system. He has a long history of working in Search and Rescue and is a senior trainer for NPS.
