Hey everybody. Welcome to another episode of Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Sam Shaheen, a senior editor at Blister, and you can check out everything we're doing

and reviewing over at Blister Review.com.

Today, we have a roundtable discussion with Blister's editor-in-chief, Jonathan Ellsworth,

managing editor Luke Kappa, Luke's Yellow Lab, Kelly, and me.

Between Jonathan's recent heli ski trip to Iceland, where Jonathan's audio equipment got left

at an airport in Iceland, Luke's anxiety-ridden dog insisting on sitting in for this podcast,

and the fact that it won't stop snowing here in

Colorado, we've had an eventful past few weeks.

So in this conversation, we sit down and discuss some new gear that we've been on, including

the new Owen 3P Woodsman 108, vocal mantra 102, faction Candide 5.0, Black Crow's Navis, and

more.

But first, Jonathan tells us a bit about his heli skiing trip to Deppler Farm in Iceland with 11 experience.

I'm actually quite looking forward to this conversation.

It's been a minute, I feel like, since we've done our virtual roundtable.

But we've all been on quite a bit of new gear.

So it seems like we're all kind of chomping at the bit to talk about some of this stuff. I have been skiing the new O'N3P

Woodsman 108 in an extremely cool place. I just got back from Iceland, actually. First of all, my quick review of Iceland,

fantastic. I'd never been before. I am now very high on this country. And specifically, we were

at Deppler Farm, which is on the Troll Peninsula of Iceland.

It's an outfit run by 11 experience.

And for those who don't know about 11, 11 gets its name loosely from the movie Spinal Tap.
