OFFGRID is at OR Winter Market

Members of the eeee-light OFFGRID writin' team are currently on the ground at the bi-annual Outdoor Retailer trade show. Think SHOT Show, SOFIC or the annual NRA show but with survival equipment, camping gear, sports stuff ranging from the mundane to the extreme. It's an awesome experience. Attendees can put their hands on the gear, see product demos, even get a look at stuff that hasn't been released yet.

OR runs four days and is held in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Read the article in its entirety here or just go ahead and follow OFFGRID on Instagram to follow what they're doing in real time (that's @offgridmagazine). So far they've looked at Brunton generators, customized new Camelbak bottles, packs from Mountain Hardware, goggles and helmets from Smith Optics…snowshoes, compasses, watches, Salomon boots, Lowa boots, Keen boots, Under Armor, gear for your canine companions, food packaged for long term storage…you get the point. Oh, and some guy blowing an alpenhorn. (?)

You can learn more about the trade sow at outdoorretailer.com or by checking them out on Facebook.

OFFGRID is RECOIL's partner magazine. In it we take a look at the latest gear and emergency-related scenario TTPs from an urban/city dweller's point of view.
