Danny Richter, a policy fellow for CCL, led a discussion on CCL's strategic approach to engaging with the newly configured Congress. He highlighted the organization's priorities, including defending the clean energy provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, advocating for the Fix Our Forest Act, supporting Foreign Pollution Fees and cautiously entering the permitting reform space. Danny emphasized the shift in CCL's approach from playing offense to playing defense, as we now focus on defending a bill that has already been passed. He also noted the change in the balance of power, with Republicans holding a majority in both the Senate and the House, and the importance of understanding this new context for effective Congressional engagement. This discussion stresses the importance of thinking ahead, preparing for multiple swings of the political pendulum, and maintaining positive relationships with both Democratic and Republican members of Congress. Danny also highlighted the need for volunteer empowerment, focusing on climate issues, and being a science-based organization. He acknowledged the need for uncomfortable trade-offs in addressing climate change and the importance of diverse approaches to achieve change.

Californians have perfected outdoor living, largely due to the favorable climate. As weather patterns change, the design industry has adapted with sustainable materials, inventive building practices and creative use of space including outdoor kitchens, theaters, plunge pools, functional landscapes, and unique approaches to sport courts. From pickleball to a pickle martini, design meets entertainment with the new innovations in outdoor design. All of these programs took place in the WestEdge Theater presented by Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home. The stage was designed by Julie Beuerlein of JKB Home Design. This program was sponsored by TimberTech. A fantastic partner/ sponsor of Convo By Design. As a busy professional designer, you know how important it is to find the right partnerships. Partnerships that allow you to specify the right products for every project. Professionals like you just don't have time to waste. Let me tell you about one of my partnerships. Pacific Sales is here to serve you with expert, knowledgeable and non-commissioned professionals to help you specify the right product for all your projects. Non-commissioned. That means their only incentive is your satisfaction. Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home, a Best Buy Company has just that with over 60 years of service in Southern California. Pacific Sales is your destination for exploration, advice and inspiration. And here's the cherry on top, access to exclusive Builder Trade Incentives from top brands like Monogram. Visit a Pacific Sales Showroom today to learn how you can unlock additional savings and benefits. Don't miss out on the opportunity to work with the best of the best. Visit Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home today and elevate your projects to new heights! At the highest level of design, the absolute best specifying designers, architects and landscape designers are all highly focused on the technology and performance of products and materials today. You have to because the products you specify for your projects have to perform and they have to last. That is one of the reasons why I am so proud to be working with TimberTech. Their focus on the technical renaissance of synthetic decking is literally changing the conversation about innovation and performance. It pulls focus on three priorities homeowners have and expect from the products their designers and architects specify for their luxury projects; 1. Aesthetics must match the overall design and fit visually. 2. Durability and maintenance. I've told you my board-flipping stories about my own wood decks. Clients not only want beauty, but they want ease of use and they want it to last for decades. 3. Sustainably made. Clients are more conscious of the environment and they want the same of their materials. TimberTech hits each one of these elements with a product that not only meets expectations, they exceed them. TimberTech makes a synthetic decking that looks just like wood, color and embossed wood grain for a natural appearance. Their composite decking is technologically superior as it has been created to last for decades, and it is manufactured with up to 85% recycled material. Their Advanced PVC Vintage and Landmark Collections have a Class A Flame Spread Rating making these products an amazing choice for wildfire prone areas, which unfortunately continues to grow on a risk-map.

In recent years, technological advancements have permeated various aspects of outdoor sports, and skiing is no exception. The introduction of electric skis, particularly the innovative E-SKIMO, is revolutionizing the skiing experience by significantly enhancing uphill performance. This breakthrough technology combines the principles of electric bicycles with ski mountaineering, allowing skiers to ascend slopes with unprecedented ease and efficiency.How do Electric Skis Work?The core concept behind electric skis is to provide assistance that empowers skiers during uphill climbs. Traditionally, ski mountaineering, also known as ski touring or "skinning uphill," requires considerable physical exertion and stamina. However, with the integration of a battery, motor, and sophisticated sensors, E-SKIMO drastically reduces the effort needed to ascend. According to the developers of this technology, skiers can expect to travel uphill four times faster than they would with conventional skis. This remarkable speed enhancement is a game-changer for both recreational skiers and serious mountaineers, enabling them to explore more terrain in less time.The mechanics of the electric ski system are equally impressive. Each ski is equipped with a motor that drives a rotating belt, providing traction as the skier ascends. This innovative design allows for synchronized movement, with the motors communicating to ensure a smooth and efficient uphill experience. The lightweight construction of the components is another significant advantage, as skiers can detach the battery and motor once they reach the summit, reducing the burden during the downhill journey.Standing Out in the SnowOne of the most compelling aspects of electric skis is their ability to adapt to varying snow conditions and terrain. The E-SKIMO employs artificial intelligence to analyze factors such as snow type, slope steepness, and skier weight. This data-driven approach allows the skis to deliver power in a controlled and natural manner, maintaining balance and stability. The algorithm behind this technology is designed to ensure that skiers do not lose control due to excessive power, which is a critical consideration in a sport where balance is paramount.Durability is a key concern for any outdoor equipment, and the developers of E-SKIMO are focused on ensuring that the system can withstand the rigors of use. While the longevity of the belt system is still being evaluated, the aim is to make it last for several seasons, allowing skiers to enjoy the benefits of electric assistance without frequent replacements.The excitement surrounding electric skis is palpable among enthusiasts. Early users have reported positive experiences, with many expressing eagerness to return to the slopes and test the technology in fresh snow conditions. The potential for electric skis to enhance the skiing experience is not just about speed; it also opens up new possibilities for exploration and adventure in the mountains.Conclusion: An Unepected Way to Ski Using AIIn conclusion, electric skis represent a significant advancement in skiing technology, particularly for uphill performance. By combining electric assistance with sophisticated algorithms and lightweight design, E-SKIMO allows skiers to ascend mountains with greater speed and ease than ever before. As this technology continues to evolve and integrate into ski brands, it promises to transform the way skiers experience the slopes, making the sport more accessible and enjoyable for all.Interview by Don Baine, The Gadget Professor.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Aluminum Frame: built to last with a welded frame, preventing issues like dry rot. Lightweight: easy to handle and perfect for off-road adventures. Durability: made to withstand harsh conditions and years of use. Scott says their approach at Four Wheel Campers has always been about practicality, not fancy details. They focus on building campers that are built to last, without all the extra frills. Watch this video on YouTube to see how Four Wheel Campers are made: https://youtu.be/QSUsxwHrVyk?si=FrlzXUQ_ekAJezmI What Happens If You Forget to Lock the Latches on Your Pop-Up Camper? 12:25 - Scott explains that it's usually not a big deal if you forget to lock the latches. The original design of the pop-up camper is incredibly sturdy. Here's what might happen: If you forget all the latches, the roof might pop up at high speed, but the camper is built to handle that. You'll get some attention from other drivers, but it's easy to fix by pulling over, latching it, and continuing your trip. If you only forget a couple of latches, the roof could bend slightly where it's still connected, but it's rare to see any major damage. A simple way to make sure you don't forget to lock your pop-up camper's latches is to create a checklist. Put a checklist on your dashboard to remind you to check everything before you hit the road. Make it a habit to lock the latches right after you pop down the camper. It's a quick and simple step to avoid camper mishaps while traveling. The History of Four Wheel Campers Stan shared the story behind Four Wheel Campers. It all began in the 1970s when Dave Rowe built a camper in his garage for his hunting and fishing trips in Colorado. Friends saw it and asked if he could build one for them, and soon enough, he was making campers for everyone. Over the years, the company grew, but the basic design has stayed true to its original look. Photo via: https://fourwheelcampers.com/ The ORVIS Special Edition Pop-Up Camper? The ORVIS Special Edition pop-up camper is based on the usual slide-in style but designed specifically for fishermen. Stan explains that ORVIS worked closely with their engineers to create a camper that would be perfect for a guide or fly fisherman. Here's what sets it apart: Wet room Fly rod holders Custom interiors Battery solutions Check out this Orvis Special Edition Four Wheel Camper Walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxL-OcyBik8&t=9s How Much Does a Pop-Up Camper Cost? Pop-up campers start around $12,500 and can go up to $60,000 or $70,000 for the more expensive models. Stan says that despite the price increase, mainly due to inflation and the pandemic, Four Wheel Campers still offers one of the most affordable price ranges in the truck camper market. What's Inside a Four Wheel Camper? 23:57 - Four Wheel Campers offer all the essentials you'd expect in any camper, like a sink, stove, fridge, furnace, batteries, propane, and water beds. The real difference is in the layout and style, with each camper feeling unique depending on the model. Whether you choose a Project M or another model, you can customize the colors and floor plan to match your needs. Best Mattress for Your Pop-up Camper 26:51 - Four Wheel Campers offer customizable mattress options. The stock mattress is high-density foam, but you can add a memory foam topper if you prefer something softer. You can also customize your mattress to suit your needs and the interior of your camper. Power Setup for a Pop-up Camper 27:50 - Setting up solar power in a pop-up camper is pretty simple. The solar panels are typically placed on the roof, and you can just "set it and forget it." The smallest solar system is around 250 watts, but on smaller trucks, it can be as low as 160 watts. For larger campers, you can get up to 500 watts. As for battery power, you can choose from one, two, or even three lithium batteries, depending on the model. For heating, Stan shared that Four Wheel Campers typically use propane. Most regular slide-in campers and flatbed models have a built-in water heater and a forced-air furnace. However, for the topper models, there's no factory-built furnace option at the moment. Customers usually need to use a portable heater, like a diesel heater. Four Wheel Camper Rallies Four Wheel Campers hosts rallies where customers can meet, camp together, and have fun. These events often occur at cool spots like Lake Tahoe, Anza-Borrego, or Oregon. The rallies usually feature camping, food, drinks, seminars, and music. It's a great way for customers to show off their campers, share modifications, and enjoy the outdoors together Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/701

Consumer spending is the heart of the US economy—more specifically, spending by high-income, or luxury, consumers. These luxury consumers are optimistic about the economic landscape, and how and what they spend their money on reflects this attitude.

Just in time for the holiday shopping season, this episode we talk with Emily Essner, the Chief Marketing Officer for Saks Fifth Avenue. Saks is a well-established luxury department store chain, operating its brick-and-mortar stores and e-commerce platform as separate entities.

When it comes to adventure sports, one of the best ways to manage risk is to ensure that you are as physically durable as possible. Being physically durable allows you to withstand physical challenges, mistakes and mishaps like falls. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Leslie Desrosiers. Dr. Leslie is the founder of ACL Strong. ACL Strong is a comprehensive online strength training and exercise program. While the focus of ACL Strong is on preventing knee injuries through targeted exercises and stretching, it encompasses a full body approach.Dr. Leslie shares some of the keys to improving our physical durability from warming up properly to being more efficient with our training. Increasing our physical durability doesn't have to take long. Dr. Leslie tells us how we can work smarter, not harder!Key Takeaways:Diversify Training: This includes neuromuscular training, cardio, stretching and strengthening. Strengthening includes weight training to build your muscle mass. Cross training and using training programs will help to prevent injuries and enhance performance. Time Commitment: It doesn't have to take long if you are efficient. Using the right exercises and stretches and doing things correctly can save you time.Whole Body: Because your entire body works together, you need to work on your whole body to improve durability. Many outdoor activities focus on specific muscle groups, while training programs offer a wider benefit.Insurance Policy: Increasing your durability is like an insurance policy that will reduce your chance of injury and will increase your chances of enjoyment.Avoiding Flare ups: If you feel stiff or things don't feel right, address it early. This can help to reduce the chance of an overuse injury. It is easy to ignore inflammation or discomfort and try to work through it, but this isn't a very good long-term approach.Aging Bodies: The older we get, the more important all of this becomes.Guest Bio:Dr. Leslie Desrosiers, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Orthopedic Specialist, currently residing and operating a private physical therapy practice in San Marcos, CA.
