Luke Pearsall of Trail Goods Co joins for a Bracketology episode discussing the outdoor march madness bracket. Join for a joke filled episode. Follow Trail Goods Co: https://www.instagram.com/trailgoodscompany It’s a giant bracket where outdoor things go head to head. Trails, gear, snacks, and the things that ruin your day outside. Think Appalachian Trail vs Pacific Crest Trail. Peanut Butter vs Trail Mix. Trekking poles vs Headphones. You fill out a bracket predicting what will win, and then every round the matchups are decided by public voting. There will be prizes, chaos, and probably some very strong opinions. Fill out your bracket here: https://www.freeoutside.com/outdoor-march-madness Vote on the matchups here: https://forms.gle/9DEK6x2iUK4gMzVH9 Let’s see what the outdoor world decides is the ultimate champion.
