They say that in a jungle everything is alive. The complex and beautiful nature of a jungle is a bi-product of evolution. You can walk through a jungle a thousand times and never see it all. In fact, a jungle is always changing. There is always something new, something fresh.
During the first weekend of August, we found ourselves in a proverbial jungle surrounded by gear, gear and more gear at the bi-annual Outdoor Retailer trade show in Salt Lake City, UT. Our booth resembled a mini-trade show in and of itself as we showcased products from Vaude, Grivel, Trekmates, Beal, Edelweiss, Outdoor Designs, Cypher, Nalgene, Singing Rock, Cypher, Omega Pacific, Peregrine, Trangia, Olicamp, and a few others. The OR show is an exciting time for us as we are able to not only represent these brands, but also unveil their newest and freshest gear.
