EP 74 - OV State of the Union & 2022 Outdoor Industry Trends

In this episode of the Live Ultralight Podcast, Tayson, Tyler, and Brigham sit down to talk about everything that happened in Outdoor Vitals during the year 2021 and what they are looking forward to going into 2022.

In addition, the OV team delves into what's happening in the outdoor industry right now, and how that could affect backpackers everywhere.

Last, the team answers a question left last week on YouTube:

Bradley Dezall: Thoughts about the Garmin Fenix 6 series of watches? I have heard good things, but they are very expensive. Do any of you upload topo maps to your watch for navigation?
