my dad set up a fishing pole for me and
00:07
I felt something on the end of my line I
00:10
pulled up and it was a little red and
00:14
yellow a cement truck when you are
00:17
living on a 27 foot sailboat you don't
00:20
have a lot of toys so I put this
00:22
thrilled to have something to play with
00:25
and I really believed that I had caught
00:28
this out of the ocean Outdoor Retailer
00:36
is an industry trade show for the
00:39
outdoor industry this is where brands
00:41
come together to connect with retailers
00:43
with the media and to preview lines for
00:45
the upcoming seasons
00:49
I'm definitely inspired by the outdoors
00:51
and I'm very much a product of the West
00:53
and I feel a lot of my imagery and art
00:55
is inspired by the West it's just really
00:57
fun to see my art traveling around
00:59
connecting people going on adventures
01:01
taking me the outdoors and blending with
01:04
modern technology it's meant to be used
01:07
in an environment itself so just trying
01:09
to take the modern conveniences and
01:11
blend it with the outdoors base of what
01:13
we're trying to do as we build an
01:14
outdoor gear to help people get outside
01:15
and be active with their dives so
01:17
whether you're activity of choice is
01:18
paddle boarding or running or biking or
01:20
just head of the dog park we make gear
01:22
to get outside and W be active with your
01:23
dog we built the business to associate
01:25
every single business transaction with
01:28
the environmental action of us picking
01:29
up a pound of trash from waterways glad
01:34
to give us the most important thing the
01:37
air is free of charge the water is real
01:40
charge but today because the color we
01:44
pollute a lot of water you get the nice
01:47
color and you pollute so many waters
01:50
that's why we say color is really
01:52
thirsty
01:53
we don't want to follow the water so all
01:55
our products we don't use one drop of
01:57
the water
01:59
I've actually been in the pet industry
02:01
almost 20 years got my big mascot with
02:05
me oshi it's been a lifetime of love for
02:08
animals I wanted to go to vet school
02:09
working in the vet clinic I couldn't
02:11
always bear to put animals down so I
02:14
kind of became the refuge yeah for a
02:16
whole lot of animals and I was hiding
02:18
animals in my garage until I could
02:21
rehome them so I totally know why I'm
02:22
divorced Yeah right now I've got a
02:26
Clydesdale horse two dogs and a cat and
02:29
the Clydesdale and the dog are best
02:33
friends they actually kind of play
02:34
together and play chase
02:39
the product is tailgater tire table and
02:41
it's a table that goes on to your it
02:43
uses your tire it's the main support I
02:45
was at a ski area and I happen to look
02:48
at a bumper step just something that
02:51
comes out of a hitch and it just all
02:53
clicked for some reason and I went home
02:55
and built one that night camping world's
02:57
got it
02:59
sportsmen has it looks like REI is gonna
03:01
go with it and we sell through Amazon
03:03
the founders son was out on vacation
03:05
with his dad and they tried this older
03:07
scooter technology and he turned to his
03:09
dad and he said can't you make something
03:11
so much better and there we go we have
03:12
the white shark makes more high-end
03:14
men's grooming line you know Duke cannon
03:16
is sort of the epitome of what a man
03:18
should be is based on this idea that men
03:20
don't want loofahs and body washes and
03:22
scented oils right we want a big-ass
03:23
brick' soap we manufacture the best
03:25
women the stanza PA accessory it's
03:27
called the Tinker Bell and as you can
03:29
see any woman Constantia people in
03:32
clothes
03:32
my wife and I we adopted Momo in 2010
03:36
and to be honest I was just astonished
03:39
by how much you care for them and how
03:42
much money you're willing to spend make
03:43
sure they're happy they're comfortable
03:44
oh mama no coming we just thought that
03:46
we could put our own spin on pet beds
03:50
cat toys we have some very cool design
03:53
that people talk about color blocking
03:54
mixing and matching who colors so that's
03:56
something that we are working on
03:58
cartography is the science of making
04:01
Maps basically and it's an art as well
04:03
we're really just wrapping up the first
04:06
decade of the huge increase in digital
04:09
map use which is really advantageous in
04:11
urban areas if you're looking for a
04:13
restaurant or a museum and you need
04:15
directions you want to see how traffic
04:16
is in a certain part of town but where
04:19
people are still using paper maps than
04:21
most is in wilt wilderness areas on the
04:24
back roads where the Google car hasn't
04:26
gone and recorded everything that there
04:28
is to see but where field checkers have
04:31
actually been going out there for 10 20
04:32
years in our case making sure that the
04:35
map is more accurate than anything
04:36
you'll find on your phone we work with
04:38
the BLM in Nevada they use our atlases
04:42
in certain areas to literally reference
04:44
what page they're on what grid reference
04:46
they're on the certain peak and trail
04:48
that they're trying to get to in order
04:50
to mitigate a wildfire state tourism
04:52
boards used to come in and make a
04:53
statewide map and start giving those
04:55
away and that's really what map
04:57
collectors are doing is collecting
04:59
historical maps that are no longer in
05:01
print it probably will never be in print
05:04
again it's almost like vinyl you know
05:06
they have a real sense of nostalgia
05:12
fishing is like magic it always takes
05:15
you to beautiful places I don't have to
05:18
worry about my phone going off
05:19
there's no reminders or notifications
05:21
coming up and it's just a wonderful
05:23
thing I love the idea that you can you
05:25
know get lost very easily like you can
05:28
get out and feel lost and you feel like
05:31
you're in a wild place it doesn't take a
05:33
lot to you know get off the beaten path
05:34
a lot of people just see the parks
05:36
through you know their car window but if
05:38
you get out and it's so easy to feel
05:40
like in the wild
05:48
you
