Solo Stove, Snowshoes & Made In The USA: Overrated, Underrated or Properly Rated?

DEC 5, 202442 MIN

Description

It's become a monthly tradition around here to answer the question:

Is this stuff Overrated, Underrated or is it Properly Rated? 

Where our resident gear expert, Justin Housman, rules FOR ALL TIME on the status of some specific pieces or categories of gear. A ruling that cannot be undone!

On this edition, compiled with the help of emails we've received from our G&B listeners, Justin and Colin judge snowshoes, Solo Stove, and the category of stuff that is Made In The USA. 

And when it comes to this weeks beer pairing, our Gear & Beer certified beer expert (that would be Justin) wanted to pair the perfect winter or holiday beer with today's gear.  So Colin went out and found one that he thinks could Stump our Cicerone.

Did it work? Was Justin stumped? Are these gear items Over, Under, or Properly Rated? You need to listen to find out.
