WELCOME TO THE SHARP END PODCAST

This month, I partnered with Outdoor Vitals to giveaway TWO Ventus Hoodies! Their Ventus Active Hoodie was included in Outside Magazine's Summer Gear Guide for Ultralight Apparel. Featuring 3deFX active insulation, it's incredibly light (7oz), stretchy, and well-ventilated for a hoodie that's warmer than your favorite cotton hoodie. 

The giveaway runs January 1st - 30th, one entry per person, and two winners will be announced on January 31st. Don’t forget, you can also save 15% on any Outdoor Vitals purchase using code SHARPEND all month long, too! GOOD LUCK!

So many outdoor accidents can be prevented.

But what if, somewhere… a culture existed where people could feel comfortable sharing their mistakes without shame or blame?

I am trying so hard to create that very culture.

This is the Sharp End Podcast. A platfrom aimed at ‘minimizing future outdoor accidents by way of storytelling. Real people, sharing real stories.’

No shame, no blame. Simply a place where people can share lessons learned- so every single person in this outdoor community can grow, play hard, and be smart.

New! Limited Edition GearBucket, in collaboration with eqpd. 20% of proceeds support The Sharp End.

The Sharp End Mini Series: Share Your Story!

Hi friends! I am starting to work on a new type of content project for The Sharp End and am now accepting volunteers to share their story!

I would like to feature mini conversations where listeners can submit a brief description of what happened and a 3-7 minute audio recording during their near miss or accident while out in the backcountry. Please fill out this form if you are interested in sharing your near miss! Recordings can be submitted to: thesharpendpodcast@gmail.com

Your vulnerability is SO appreciated and could be instrumental in saving someone’s life. THANK YOU!

Consider buying me chai tea once a month! That’s only $5.00 a month which equals $60.00/year. Not too much to ask, eh? This would help the success of my podcast greatly. If you find that you learn lessons from this podcast, that means you’ve found value here! I invite you to donate to the show and help my podcast grow. Thank you very much to everyone who has supported my growth thus far. I am extremely grateful!

Steve was in an accident back in 2019 in the Chamonix range in France. He was climbing with a friend, who also works on the Chamonix Rescue Helicopter Team. They got stuck in bad weather on the way down a route and ended up having to do an emergency bivi (without bivi gear) in a rapidly dug ice cave high up on the glacier. They learned a lot from this incident. Tune in this episode to hear more.
