Don’t Just Toss, Grab the Floss!

Anna Dye, Sterling College

One of the things I love most about doing this podcast is the way that almost every guest seems to spiderweb into more cool connections that I get to make, and today’s another great example of that.

Last time I hit the podwaves, I encored a conversation with Heidi Myers of Rasputitsa, who also works at Sterling College, where she met the wonderful young woman I’m talking to today, Anna Dye.

Anna grew up in the outdoor industry, working at her family’s outdoor gear and apparel store in Red Lodge, Montana. But it was here in the east that she found herself in a cohort of college students hitting the road to apply their newly acquired gear repair skills to real life problems at races and festivals around northern New England.

Anna is a breath of fresh air in an often cynical world, and she shares a few tips and hacks that might just help you out in a pinch when your gear gets…..well…pinched (and damaged) in the backcountry.

I hope you’ll get as inspired as I did to grab a needle and thread and take on that naggy little repair project you’ve been putting off - get that gear of yours back into rotation so you can keep getting a little wild!
