Engearment Podcast Post Verde Sawtooth Trip

Engearment got to attend the first Verde Ventures Media Trip in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho, alongside a stacked crew of fellow journalist and content creators. It was a blast!  We tested gear from Gregory, Astrol Designs, Thermarest, MSR, Royal Robbins, and Packtowel.

We met the following awesome media folks:

Paige Triola / Freelance Writer (Bicycling, The Guardian, RUN: by Outside, MSN)

Meg Carney / Freelance Writer (SFGate, Seattle PI) & Podcast Host of Outdoor Minimalist

Hosted by Verde PR:
Kristin Carpenter / Founder and CEO, Verde Brand Communications
Jenna Nabors / Account Manager, Verde Brand Communications 
Becca Katz / Director, Verde Brand Communications 
Alexa McRoberts / Director, Verde Brand Communications 

We also cover gear reviews on new Arc'teryx Kopec 2 GTX shoes, Salomon Genesis Mid GTX, Travoca Rigel+ ECooler, and dozens more.

Also, we welcome our newest Engearment Teammate - Liv Holtzman!

Plus, we are days away from a new Engearment.com website (it is going to blow your mind!)

At Engearment, we're passionate about helping you get outside and explore with the best gear. We don't accept sponsorships or compensation for our reviews — we buy gear ourselves or receive it from companies, and that never guarantees a positive review. We use affiliate links because they're a zero-cost way for you to support us while getting the best price on the gear.

Take care!
