20K YouTube Subribers! Upcoming OMA

Thank you to all our YouTube subscribers! We've reached 20K and couldn't be more thrilled. It is an absolute joy to create videos that hopefully help you find the right gear for the outdoors. The Engearment Team thanks you!   We are also preparing to participate in the OMA Summer 2025 show with 10 Engearment writers.  We will have interviews with all your favorite brands!

We wrapped up 70 meetings at OMA Winter 2025 with all sorts of outdoor brands - Black Diamond, THULE, Yakima, Vaurnet, Royal Robbins, Scarpa, Oboz, KUHL, EXPED, and dozens more.  The interviews are live on our YouTube channel. Upcoming reviews include the new Yakima SkyPeak RTT, backpacks from Gregory, EXPED and Arcteryx.  Lots of sunglasses and shoes and tons more!

Fitness leader, professional triathlete, co-author of Primal Blueprint, Two Meals a Day, and a dozen more best selling books - Brad Kearns - joins the Engearment Podcast to talk about Mark Sisson and his newest book - "Born to Walk".  Brad is always wonderful to talk with and learn from.  This is his third apperance on the Engearment Podcast for a good reason - he shares wisdom on health and fitness and makes it approachable.   This episode is packed with startling facts (did you know the marathon was based on a poem and not actually 26 miles??) approachable training tips (for best performance, aim for a HR of 180 minus your age - this is also known as "fat fax HR") and so much more.  It is a real eye opener! You can grab a copy of "Born to Walk" here (Amazon link) or anywhere you purchase your books. https://amzn.to/3WxzEbB It is already a NY Times top 3 book!

Drew Petersen discusses his new film, Feel It All. Drew hope that by sharing his message, it creates a shift in the conversation about mental health and to help individuals in mountain communities. We also talk about what inspired the creation of the film, as well as his recent running of the Leadville 100. You can view Feel it All here: https://youtu.be/J94ZkA59sSM  

Sean Sewell and Michael Clemente discuss what they saw at the Outdoor Market Alliance Media show.
