What do you get when you combine RSN TV with Outside Magazine?

The most badass channel on the tube!

…and yet another resource to keep you in the know about outdoor lifestyle as well as offer local advice for what to do in resort towns.

On June 1, 2010, Resort Sports Network TV will debut as Outside Televsion Network, reaching RSN’s previous 61 million viewers annually.

The rebranding is the result of a partnership between RSN TV and Outside Magazine, which will reach outdoor enthusiasts across all mediums, including print, broadcast, and digital. Outside plans to complement RSN’s traditional coverage on resort towns with content like ‘Best Towns,’ ‘Best Jobs,’ and ‘Best Gear’ (ehem Gregory Targhee pack).

So in a sense, the collaborative effort between Outside’s editorial team and RSN producers means bringing one of the most revered outdoor magazines to life, which is RAD.

Unfortunately, for those who don’t live or travel to resort communities, the program won’t be available to you come June. However, online segments are available on RSN’s website and will most likely be available after the rebranding. Hopefully, with success, Mariah Media (Outside’s parent company) will be able to expand their reach down the road.

If not, there’s always rioting and we do happen to know how to use paddles and ice axes pretty well. I’m just saying…

Baltoro 70 earns a stellar review from Outside Magazine’s Gear Army

Jeremy Goodman, one of Outside Magazine’s ground troop bloggers, field-tested the Gregory Baltoro 70 on one of the ultimate backpacking journeys in the world: the rugged Andes Mountains of South America. For six months, the Baltoro clung comfortably to Jeremy’s back while he lunged, scrambled, and hiked through the rain in muggy Columbia through to the harsh, unpredictable climate of Patagonia.

He thanks the Gregory gods for the Baltoro’s water-and abrasion-resistant rip-stop nylon, 4,271 cubic inches of space, multiple access points, and, of course, the move-with-you-wherever-you-go suspension system.

We knew this pack was tough, but glad to hear someone else thinks so too. To see the full review click HERE.
