S2E0: Who is Rowdy Energy?
Listen to full episode :
Who is Rowdy Energy? How did we #getsponsored by Rowdy Energy? What is Rowdy Energy?
These burning questions and more will probably...maybe...possibly...be answered in our Season 2 Opener!
Welcome to Season 2 of the Off Trail Podcast. In all seriousness, we have a fun episode for you all to introduce you to our new season.
With no guest this week, the co-hosts, Magpie and Constantine, sit down to share some stories with you.
There is much to cover in this episode, and all the sponsorships in the world from #RowdyEnergy would not be enough to power a laptop in a BLM campground with no electricity, so the energy is quick, frantic, and a tad bit rowdy as our co-hosts try to cover all the topics they wish to discuss before the power goes out.
The show begins with a quick chat about what the co-hosts have been up to recently such as the Hayduke Trail and Grand Enchantment Trail. More so routes than trail systems, we discuss the intricacies of what it means to hike a trail that is a route. You know how the saying goes... not all routes are trails, but all trails are routes, you know like the square and rectangle debate?
We then digress as we talk about our new shows sponsors at #RowdyEnergy and the extreme gratitude, love, and appreciation we feel for being partnered with such an amazing product/team/organization/lifestyle.
We chat about the future of this podcast moving forward into Season 2. We highlight the structure and concept of this show, and how while at its heart it will still remain the same, focusing on the how and the who, not the what, there will be more conversations and stories shared about companies of all sizes. Tying in an individuals stories and a companies fascinates us, and we hope it fascinates you too, as we hope to spread the stories behind the growth, evolution, and sacrifices it takes to pursue what you love.
We chat about our new campaign, that is abbreviated as #DGAS, and are thrilled to announce it so repetitively and frequently that we ourselves may end up wanting to jump into incoming traffic.
Again, we joke... well mostly, there are some statements that remain true, but this podcast is meant to be fun and informative and that is the way we always hope to keep it.
In all seriousness, we discuss fire closures, the "ending" of a "thru-hike", the Grand Enchantment Trail in detail, planning alternate routes and the difference between 1,000+ mile trails and smaller routes, NCT level humor, Magpie's comparison of Constantine to a famous artist and how his humor is art, and just like Monet and Rembrandt not fully appreciated in his time, and we talk about Jeannie and Kyle, the 8th and 9th people to hike the GET, and how amazingly lucky and blessed we were to meet them. Thank you.
We end the show with a call out to all adventurers, hikers, backpackers, bikepackers, rafters, wanderers, dirtbags....any and all outdoorspeople, if you power this life with your body and mind, we want to share your story.
