Welcome to the Monday Minute of the Huntback Country podcast.

These are shorter and more informal episodes where we answer your listener questions.

Steve, how are you, man?

I'm good, really good.

Went up to the Gorge Amphitheater this weekend with my wife.

It was our 13th anniversary, actually.

I watched Mumford and Sons play.

It was pretty cool.

It was a band that I enjoy to listen to,

but my wife was always on her list to go check out and they started touring again. And yeah,

it was super fun. Yeah, neat. I was on a mountain bike ride yesterday morning and came around a corner and

there's kind of a long, straight away a trail. And it seems that came around this corner and there's kind of a long straight away a trail and

as soon as I came around this corner I see this guy hiking up ahead and instantly saw it's like

that dude's rocking a K4 with a crib oh no way yeah which you know if I was in the boise

foothills wouldn't be as surprising but so anyway I was riding up kind of on them on this straighter. I was like, gosh, do I stop and, you know, say anything or not? Like, be weird. But then I was like, yeah, I think if I was that guy, it would probably be fun to maybe chat for a minute, you know? Yeah, yeah. So I stopped and I was like, hey, man, you like that pack? He's like, yeah. it's like, well, that's cool. And then I was just like awkward. I was like, I don't want to have this expectation that people know who I was. But I was like, I'm Mark with Exo Mountain Gear. And I could see him like immediately like, oh my God, you are. He goes, I was watching one of your YouTube videos last night on packing food so it was just fun to

run into him on the trail he was obviously shocked but it was fun to stop and chat for a minute

that's right i did um my so at the concert the guy walked by and if you got kids earmuffs real

quick um he had a t-shirt that said grateful

as f*** and it was just like really it was this yellow t-shirt with blue bold theme uh text and

i was like that is awesome and my wife separately saw it and then she thought the same thing

and then later we were walking out we saw him again and both was like that us like that. Did you see that shirt? Isn't that cool? And I want to, I thought that'd be a really cool, like, or maybe not that exact verbiage, but put that like in a pack. Or maybe the exact same. But put that in a pack. Like when we did the born raised pack when we did with them, they had a, I think it only takes one that was like, we sewed that into the collar.

And I thought it would be really cool.
