We get into his media diet, the origins of Field Mag, and how he’s carved out a space where design and the outdoors overlap. We talk camping, GORP, and what makes gear actually good—not just hype.

This week, I’m joined by Kat Schoewe, VP of Design and Product Innovation at Outdoor Research.
She can casually mention shaping product at Under Armour, L.L. Bean, Pearl Izumi, and Land’s End—but she’d much rather talk about her vintage collection.
