Not everybody in Europe is aware of Big Agnes, the outdoor specialist whose products span tents, sleeping bags and pads, furniture, backpacks, clothing and accessories.

They proudly call themselves The Mother of Comfort, with a mission to get us outside and help us share their love of the backcountry.

Based in Steamboat Springs, deep in Colorado’s Mount Zirkel Wilderness, the company takes its name from one of the area’s highest peaks—Big Agnes.

Today my guest is co-founder Bill Gamber. We discuss what drives him and his team, and how they’ve built a brand whose pioneering gear has become some of the most sought-after in its field.
