The Outdoor Evolution Podcast

Outdoor Evolution founder & contributor Darwin Rakestraw is joined by rotating co-hosts on a podcast that seeks to go beyond the usual conversations in the outdoor community. As more people turn to hiking, cycling, van-life and the outdoors - making use of public lands and Mother Nature - the questions we ask ourselves as a community need to move beyond the surface level. The Outdoor Evolution Podcast is all about the current, difficult and important discussions in the outdoor community.

In this episode, Darwin tackles a current Hot Topic about the recent defunding of our Public Land agencies. What can we do as a community to make sure these lands are protected & maintained during the recent National Park & Forest employee layoffs? How can we help the future of these wild places?
