    The Rock Fight: Outdoor Industry & Adventure Sports Commentary

    Tired of the same old outdoor industry narratives? If your post-adventure chats are filled with laughter over mishaps, commiseration about broken gear, and celebrating real triumphs (and epic fails), then The Rock Fight is your new tribe.

    Imagine this: you’re no longer stuck in echo chambers. After listening in, you’ll be part of honest, unfiltered discussions that mirror the conversations you have with your closest outdoor buddies. You’ll gain fresh perspectives and feel more connected to a community that speaks your language.

    On The Rock Fight we get into the topics others shy away from – the real, sometimes messy, and always engaging aspects of the outdoor industry and culture. Ever debated the best layering system for an imaginary ice planet adventure? We’re there. Concerned about the true environmental impact of outdoor brands beyond the marketing spin? We’re digging in.

    We’re not afraid to challenge the conventional and offer the candid insights you crave.
    We’re those voices around the campfire, on the chairlift, and at the pub who aren’t holding back. Our diverse discussions are fueled by a genuine love for the outdoors and a healthy dose of skepticism towards the status quo. Our goal is to create meaningful conversations and a stronger sense of community for outdoor lovers who are ready for something real.

    So grab your rock, hit play, and get ready to step up and participate in The Rock Fight.

    Public Lands Move To The Front Of The Pack May 09, 2025
    Show notes

    Today Colin is joined Adam Cramer the CEO of the Outdoor Alliance to talk about what is happening with our public lands. And there is a lot happening.

    Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen or heard the following:

    • A leaked document from the Department of the Interior.
    • Last week the administration released their budget guidelines for 2026 which included upheavals for the Park Service including things like transferring National Parks sites over to state control as well as a number of cuts to things like NPS Historic Preservation Fund.
    • The Forest Service and the BLM have been directed to come up with parcels ready for "disposal" that are near big population centers.
    • Agencies are currently sorting out their “RIFs” which means Reduction In Force, where they are losing about 30% of their staff. This on top of the cuts that already happened a couple of months ago.

    And just two days ago, literally in the middle of the night, an amendment was voted on to sell off somewhere between 11,000 and 500,000 acres of public lands in Utah and Nevada.

    So what is an outdoor enthusiast to do? We get into it on today's episode.

    And stay tuned to The Rock Fight in the coming days and weeks for actionable updates from the Outdoor Alliance so that you can help protect our public lands!
