Ridgemont Outfitters - Out to See, Justin Reynolds.mp4 (2m 45s)
1 speaker (Speaker 1)

[0:00:03] Speaker 1: I was introduced to fishing by my grandfather I think, as
most young children are. I was probably four or five when I was fishing from the
bank at Piru or some random creek on the way to Grand Canyon. For me, it's all
about how ... I'm like basically on a 17 foot surfboard. That's super hardcore.
Were running anywhere between 60, 70 miles off shore to fish for five to eight
pound fish that we release. There's like so many people that live in California
that don't even take advantage of the fact that there's gorgeous archipelago
islands just right there. People spend thousands and thousands of dollars to go
halfway around the world to find this peace and paradise, and it's just we have
it sitting right off our shoreline. I predominately target Calico bass. They're
just such a ferocious predator. There's not many fish that will eat an
artificial lure like an Calico bass, and that's kind of like what it's all
about. Skateboarding used to be my physical release. I lived a care free,
basically structure free, stress free life for a very long time. Then getting
into a full time career, the time that I spend on the water is basically that
peace. I've lived such a blessed life. I'm so grateful for such a life that I've
been able to live, and this is just a continuation of that. Surfing led to
skateboarding led to fishing led to adventure, and this is just a continuation
of that. Fishing's [0:02:42]


Introducing Ridgemont Outfitters - Merging Style With Hiking Ruggedness.mp4
(2m 49s) 1 speaker (Stacy Lowery)

[0:00:00] Stacy Lowery: My name's Stacy Lowery, the co-founder of Ridgemont
Outfitters. Yeah, Ridgemont is about ... It's shoes for your entire life. It's a
shoe that's going to take you from the trail to breakfast in the morning to work
to dinner at night. It's a shoe that is built for your entire life. So
hopefully, they're durable enough to last in the outdoor environment, but
they're also stylish enough so that you don't feel awkward wearing them in an
urban environment at dinner. So our styles are very ... They're very inspired by
the action sports lifestyle, skate, surf, BMX. But so we sort of ... we took
those silhouettes, and we knew that we needed to beef up the construction to
make them more rugged and more durable so that they would meet the different
challenges that you have when you're hiking versus when you're skating. So one
of our big concerns was like, rock penetration when you're walking on a trail,
so we made sure that our out sole is ... It's thicker and more resistant to rock
penetration, but still grippy. We still have a soft durometer rubber so that you
still find traction on slippery rocks and surfaces. And then, to further bolster
it, we use like a poly-resin track board for the rear 60% of the shoe, so before
.... From the flex point back, so that it sort of acts like a shank, but not a
.... But it's not so stiff that it won't bend. So we think it's a really good
middle ground between full blown hiking and more of like a floppy skate shoe.

Ridgemont Outback Boots Unboxing & Review.mp4
(2m 15s) 1 speaker (Speaker 1)

[0:00:03] Speaker 1: Hey guys, it's Zach here with a new pair of boots I picked
up during the month from a company called Ridgemont Outfitters who specialize in
footwear for adventure enthusiasts. Now here's a disclaimer for you: I did not
buy these shoes with the intention of ever taking them out on a hike but that is
what makes these so special. You see, according to the manufacturer, the outback
is their most versatile shoe. It's constructed of durable two millimeter waxed
full grain leather, waxed cotton canvas, and light innersole and vulcanized out
sole. It's designed to stand up to all but the most extreme environments and
unlike most other hiking boots it's not super bulky. With its ability to blend
into any situation and its rugged construction, the outback will surely be one
of the most trusted adventuring companions. Alright, enough of the marketing
speak, what's important here is that you get a stylish boot that is built to be
taken off the track but it still looks good enough to be worn any time of the
day and you can easily pair these with some jeans or some khakis. One thing that
really impressed me was the tire like tread on the sole of the shoe. Along with
just how rigid the sole was, giving you plenty of support for tracking on uneven
surfaces. Now like any boots, it does take a little bit of effort to get them on
your foot but once you're in the boots, they're comfortable and you definitely
feel the support, especially around the heel. The boot feels light and it's easy
to walk around and leave them on for extended periods of time. As for sizing, I
would recommend going half a size or a full size larger than what you're used
to. Especially to make it easier for get them on and off. The outback comes in
four colors and I'll leave a link in the description to the manufacturer's
website and where you can grab a pair for yourself on Amazon. That is a quick
look at the outback boot from Ridgemont Outfitters. Be sure to subscribe for
more videos like this and I have several new shoe unboxings and reviews coming
up really soon. My name is Zach. Thank you for watching.  [0:02:10]



Ridgemont Outfitters Promo.mp4
(1m 47s) 2 speakers (Speaker 1, Speaker 2)

[0:00:23] Speaker 1: (silence). We started Ridgemont because we didn't have a
choice. That's not to say we were going to die if we didn't start this brand.
Obviously nobody was holding a gun to our heads. It's that, in our opinion,
there were no acceptable outdoor footwear options on the market. We were looking
for footwear that is durable, waterproof, and provided good traction on loose
surfaces. It needed to fit well and truly perform in the outdoors. No problem,
right?

[0:00:54] Speaker 2: (singing).

[0:00:54] Speaker 1: Well here's the hard part. We're also looking for shoes
that look cool. Now, obviously cool is subjective, and what looks cool to us may
look dumb to you and vice versa. But that's the point. There were lots of shoes
that presumably look cool to somebody else, like maybe your dad. But nothing
looked cool to us. We couldn't find the complete package, a go anywhere, do
anything stylish boot and shoe. And we figured that if we couldn't find it, then
surely there were other people that were looking that also couldn't find it. We
knew there was an entire group of people whose personal aesthetic had been
shaped by the same influences that had shaped ours, and therefore, there was an
entire segment of the outdoor market who were being ignored by the . It didn't
seem right. We were in a position to do something about it. What we did was
this. Ridgemont.  [0:01:40]
