Sick of outdoor podcasts that gate keep, worship influencer gear lists, or make you feel like you don’t belong? Yeah, we do too. That’s why Gear Abby exists. With Gear Abby you won't get an ounce of shame or gear snobbery. It's just unfiltered advice, honest conversations, and the occasional 'WTF' moment in the wild. Hosted by outdoor journalist and adventure junkie Shawnté Salabert, this show answers the real questions you’re too embarrassed to ask out loud. From weird gear issues and trip prep anxiety to calling out elitist nonsense in outdoor culture. Shawnté approaches your burning outdoor questions with that sort of loving big sister vibe. And if Shawnté doesn’t have the answer? She’ll drag in someone who does. Whether you hike, paddle, run, or just want to feel less weird in REI - Gear Abby’s your new outdoor bestie. Gear Abby. Because there are no dumb questions. Just smart advice.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-05T08:22:05.322389+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155"},"episode":{"title":"Elk Erotica, Shoe Talk & Gear of the Year","slug":"elk-erotica-shoe-talk-gear-of-the-year","published_at":"2025-12-25T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/elk-erotica-shoe-talk-gear-of-the-year","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155","url":"https://www.rockfight.co/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/395b0b9d-dd28-420b-b313-47f4784e2f79.mp3","summary":"It’s a special holiday episode of Gear Abby !
