The Outdoor Evolution Podcast

In this episode, Darwin and co-host Jupiter discuss tribalism within the outdoor community and how toxic it can be. Why do people get so heated about subjective topics like hiking styles, gear choices, or favorite creators? How can we as a community come together and learn to be more accepting and care about things that actually matter?To get early access to episodes, bonus media, and exclusive merch, join The Outdoor Evolution by supporting us on Patreon.Go to www.theoutdoorevolution.com to keep up to date with all of our new articles, reviews, products, and more.Follow us on Instagram @the_outdoor_evolutionEmail us at theoutdoorevolution@gmail.comFollow Emory on Instagram @jupiterhikesCheck out Jupiter's Youtube Channel

In this episode, Darwin and co-host Vice discuss some of the "not so glamorous" sides of #VanLife. From the outside, looking in, living in your vehicle, and traveling the country full-time seems like a dream. Live a minimalist lifestyle, visit incredible places, and sleep somewhere new every night. But what about the other side of it? How do full-time nomads deal with the harsh, boring, and uncomfortable realities that come with "true freedom?" Sometimes #VanLife isn't as dreamy as it seems on social media.To get early access to episodes, bonus media, and exclusive merch, join The Outdoor Evolution by supporting us on Patreon.Go to www.theoutdoorevolution.com to keep up to date with all of our new articles, reviews, products, and more.Follow us on Instagram @the_outdoor_evolutionEmail us at theoutdoorevolution@gmail.comFollow Vice on Instagram @thedarlingdirtbag

In this episode, Darwin and co-host Einstein discuss a challenge many who pursue an adventurous lifestyle deal with, but rarely talk about: failure. We all have expectations going into a thru-hike, bike-tour, or any adventure. When we aren't able to achieve those goals, how can we move forward in a positive direction? If everyone fails, why are we still hesitant to talk about and share our failures with the community?To get early access to episodes, bonus media, and exclusive merch, join The Outdoor Evolution by supporting us on Patreon.Go to www.theoutdoorevolution.com to keep up to date with all of our new articles, reviews, products, and more.Follow us on Instagram @the_outdoor_evolutionEmail us at theoutdoorevolution@gmail.comFollow Einstein on Instagram @youth.retiredRead Einstein's article on Failure here: https://theoutdoorevolution.com/explore-by-foot/2019/10/23/dealing-with-failure

In this episode, Darwin is joined again by co-host Emory Wanger to discuss the relationship between the outdoor industry and social media influencers. As the outdoor community becomes more and more saturated with influencers trading content for free products, are they training companies to take advantage of a creator's true worth? What happens when a creator turns their passion into a career and can't pay their bills with a free tent?

In this episode, Darwin and co-host Emory Wanger of the By Land Podcast explore the strange relationship that can form between media creators and their audience, and the effect it can have on the creators themselves. People who make videos, music, podcasts, and other forms of media can sometimes be put into a box by their audience. What happens when those audiences get a little too comfortable with their expectations for what their favorite creators should be doing?To get early access to episodes, bonus media, and exclusive merch, join The Outdoor Evolution by supporting us on Patreon.Go to www.theoutdoorevolution.com to keep up to date with all of our new articles, reviews, products, and more.Follow us on Instagram @the_outdoor_evolutionEmail us at theoutdoorevolution@gmail.comFollow Emory on Instagram @emory_by_landGo to https://byland.co/podcast to learn more about The By Land Podcast and find it wherever you get your podcasts!
