Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister podcast network,

where we are very proudly based out of Elevation Hotel right here in Crested,

Butte, Colorado.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister, and you can check out everything.

We're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.

Well, Friday afternoon, Luke Kappa and I got together to talk about some of our favorite

gear that we've been using this summer, and in this conversation, you are going to hear me make the case for what I

think could be the single greatest piece of summer gear there is. So hear me out on that and then

let us know if you agree with me here. But Luke and I begin our conversation by discussing our weekly blister survey question

that we put out every Monday in our newsletter. And if you are not yet a subscriber to our

free newsletter, well, we will leave a sign-up link in these show notes. But this week, we asked

you about Red Bull Rampage versus Red Bull

Hardline. And bottom line, I think half of you are crazy. So more on that in a minute.

Okay, another thing. The pre-order for our print edition of the 2526 Winter Buyers Guide is live. So if you are interested

in getting that print edition, do yourself a big favor and order it before September 1st.

Because after that date, you are going to definitely have to pay a lot more for shipping.

So, pre-order button will also be in the show notes.

Check it out and get your copy.

Okay, finally, I want to give a shout out to a few of our new Blister Plus members,

and that includes Colin from Seattle, Washington, Deirdre from Wilton, Connecticut, Rylis from Mesa, Arizona,

Mack from Rye, New York.

Mack just renewed his membership.
