Are Outdoor Stores Worth Saving? Plus: True Crime Reads & Kula Cloth Curiosity!

On this episode of Gear Abby, Shawnté tackles four listener questions that range from trail life to public lands policy: • Do brick-and-mortar outdoor retailers still matter in an era of DTC everything? • What’s the best outdoor-themed true crime to read when you’re not alone in the woods? • Is the Kula Cloth actually hygienic? Shawnté is joined by Kula Cloth founder Anastasia Allison to break down the facts. • And finally, Shawnté digs into the controversial decision to raise national park entrance fees for international visitors, unpacking the equity, logistics, and politics behind the policy — and why the math (and the vibes) don’t add up.
