The Future of the Outdoors, Outdoor Recreation, & the Outdoor Industry with Paul Forward

In the future, will we still have public lands? Will new economic policies crash the outdoor industry? Will a popular drug actually get more people outside? Will we all soon be ski touring on e-skis (just as more and more people are riding e-bikes)? And will the phones in our pockets eventually replace satellite phones and our avy beacons? Jonathan Ellsworth and Paul Forward discuss all of this and more. RELATED LINKS: Get Yourself Covered: BLISTER+ Join Us!
