Back to the river and the comfort of shade and beer on Slackwater's patio. Episode 206 features an awesome interview with Snowbasin Resort's power marketing duo Samantha and Tessa.

We run through upcoming EVENTS and NEWS items, as well as Gear Junkie's Psicobloc Climbing Comp experience in the rain. Oh, and the abandoned beer cart. James also covers a couple cool new gear items he discovered at Outdoor RetailerNext week, we'll be at Indian Trailhead in Ogden Canyon, recording live after a good warmup hike!

The power of a Sherpa, wow! Picked up a Goal Zero Sherpa 50 this past February thinking it would work well as a backup in my camper van, or even an impressive charger on the trail and in the backcountry, but didn't believe it would push a ProFX 12 mixer board, and a headphones splitter for well over an hour! Making this discovery through some at-home testing, we decided to road test the Sherpa 50. We didn't travel far from home in case the Sherpa 50 grew tired of heavy watt lifting. So, Beus Trailhead served as our first on-location, off-grid podcast.

Just my dream. Just my dance. Just my dissolution. ‘If you don’t feel good, your dream sucks.’ I never heard truer words and they were uttered by a 29 year old Urban Adventurer Shaman by the name of Janes Merlin Dreamweaver. You read that right, don’t adjust your screen…you have just entered the serendipitous world of Ogden’s most formidable healer. Like many of the people whom Janes has affected, we became acquainted with Janes due to good fortune and luck. It was certainly fate that landed this dreamweaver into the hot seat of Mr. Goodyear’s Neighborhood. As a university senior in Missouri and at the encouragement of his mother, Janes joined a sponsored trip to Moab, camping at a KOA with minimal provisions, which proved to be his most enlightening college experience. Janes knew what he needed to be happy.

Finally!!! Bug Huckers has put together a full length episode to further expand your Bug Hucking experience. It's a good thing we had the full hour because we have a lot of invaluable information about the Division of Wildlife Resources' Walk-In-Access program. With so much of Utah's fishable waters on private property and having to share the available public access with tubers and the like a congestion free fishing hole can be hard to come by. On this episode Danny and I sit down with Clint Brunson from the Utah DWR. Clint explains the ins and outs of the Walk-In-Access program and tells us how it provides Utah's fly fishers with an opportunity to catch fish on select sections of private water dedicated specifically to the outdoor gamesman. So, listen in and learn where to find your next Bug Hucking adventure.

Adventure has always been a way of life in Ogden; adventure
is the spirit of our little mountain town.
Adventure is the main theme of conversation at our gear shops, coffee
houses and watering holes. We’ll fish
for an hour before church, skin up the mountain before the ski lifts open,
sneak a trail run in on the BST during lunch then pedal home after work. But we
needed a voice…we needed a hero! The fates allowed it and we got our Batman
& Robin. In 2010, a chance encounter
occurred over a plate of mash potatoes at Grandma’s house between two
like-minded media nerds and adventure junkies.
Alas, the Ogden Outdoor Adventure show was born.
Brandon Long and Todd Oberndorfer had humble beginnings at
Weber State’s campus radio station reporting the ‘adventure’ news with experts
like Gear-Junkie-James and Trippy-Teresa, but fast forward 5 years and 200
Ogden Outdoor Adventure shows later and we have the media moguls we’re lucky to
have today…the voices of Ogden outdoor adventure! I was in attendance at Brandon & Todd’s
200th episode of the Ogden Outdoor Adventure show, graciously hosted
by the GOAL Foundation, and chatted them up about the history of the show,
their #1 fan and their quest for a podcasting Emmy. It’s a 24 minute action packed interview of one-liners
from Todd, reflections from Brandon and fact-checking from James and
Teresa. Thanks for the honor guys,
here’s to 200 more episodes…Cheers!

Mr. Goodyear’s Neighborhood spans 5 miles east through Ogden
Canyon and into beautiful Ogden Valley.
The options for outdoor recreation in Ogden Valley are vast and endless
with three popular mountain resorts located within minutes of each other, a
200-acre reservoir and a one-of-a-kind 16% grade paved road all affectionately
referred to as ‘HEL.’ We’ll get to that
in a second, but at the center of it all is the Wolf Creek Resort with its
famous 18-hole golf course, condos, homes and newly minted community gym. Wolf Creek proprietor and long time resident,
John Lewis, has his hands full maintaining the small town country feel of Ogden
Valley’s three communities of Huntsville, Eden and Liberty (HEL) but also
providing opportunities and amenities for HEL’s locals and visitors. John very much needs to talk and act like the
‘Mayor of HEL.’ He has our vote. In this episode of Mr. Goodyear’s Neighborhood, we sit down
with John Lewis and ask him some tough questions about building and developing
in a Valley where tensions and tempers can get high and hot with the locals as
they’re bombarded with recreationalists and other developers who don’t always
have the community’s best interests as a priority. No doubt about it, John is a family man who
loves the community where he and his wife chose to raise their children and
plan to continue to call home.
John and Wolf Creek are supporting and embracing The Valley
community in many ways. When approached
by a couple of local crazy brothers, Dave and Shane Martin, about hosting their
half-marathon race up and down Powder Mountain road’s 16% grade, John was
excited and eager to support the event. The
3rd Annual ‘HEL’s Half Pound’ will start and end at Wolf Creek this
August. Dave and Shane share with us the
inspiration and vision of HEL’s Half Pound and why the race is a rite of
passage for any runner to be welcomed into HEL.
It’s a fun interview and groundbreaking for The Banyan
Collective as we’ve recorded podcasts before next to rivers, in the mountains,
on the side of the road, in a garage and in a basement. We’ve even conducted
interviews with our blood alcohol content over the legal limit, but this marks
the first time we’ve recorded next to a room filled with women dressed in
spandex doing something called ‘body pump.’
That’s right, you’ll want to listen to this one.
Enjoy!
