We take a look at some of the latest survival gear from CRKT, Grayl,...
If you're interested in getting a close look at the latest outdoor equipment and survival gear, the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market show is one of the best places to do so. However, this yearly trade show is restricted to members of the outdoor industry and media, and is not open to the public. That's where we come in — we'll be at the show this week, snapping photos and recording video clips of the coolest new items we see.
In previous years, ORSM was held in Salt Lake City, but this year's show will be taking place in Denver at the Colorado Convention Center. As always, the show will feature numerous booths and exhibits from all the biggest companies in the outdoor industry.
We'll be checking out apparel, backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, footwear, knives, tools, food and drinks, fishing and hunting gear, and much more. Many of the products on display are pre-production items, so we'll be able to get some first impressions before they go on sale.
Although you won't be able to join us at the show without special credentials, we can give you the next best thing: a live photo gallery. Take a look through the gallery below — you may need to hit the “Load More” button to update the feed with the latest images and videos.

We like the look of this motorcycle-sidecar combo from @ironandresin. #motorcycle #sidecar #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb @ospreypacks debuted several new additions to its cycling backpack line at ORSM. This Siskin is a 12L pack with an integrated hydration reservoir and biking-oriented pocket configuration. #ospreypacks #backpack #cycling #mountainbiking #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb @showerspass gave us a pair of their waterproof socks, which feature a breathable inner membrane. We’re told it repels moisture from the outside but still lets your feet breathe — we’ll try these out and let you know how they work. #socks #boots #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb @goalzero has released an updated version of its Sherpa 100 power bank/inverter. It now features two USB-C ports for charging laptops and mobile devices, an OLED screen with adjustable settings and readouts, and an automatic shut-off timer for the inverter. The black area on top is an inductive charging surface for cell phones. #portablepower #USB #powerbank #battery #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb @goodtogofoods gave us some samples of their latest dehydrated meal flavors — just add boiling water to the pack for a hot meal. #campingfood #trailfood #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb The new @pteclights Snap is a magnetic 200-lumen light that snaps into a headband or bike mount, attaches to a carabiner, or can be stuck directly to a metal surface. Made in the USA. #princetontec #headlamp #biking #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb @barcountrycocktails Pocket Cocktails pouches are single-serve mixes for use on the trail — just add water and a splash (or several) from your flask. #cocktailhour #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb With a hyper-realistic virtual reality outdoor experience, it’s almost like you’re actually outside! #virtualreality #getoutside #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb The PWR from @knog functions as a USB power bank on its own, or it can be attached to one of several flashlight heads for instant illumination. #flashlight #usb #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb @morakniv garberg carbon steel full tang blade #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb The @blackdiamond Storm375 has updated controls and a new tri-color auxiliary LED — red for General low-light tasks, green for reading topographical maps, and blue for tracking blood trails on nighttime hunts. #headlamp #flashlight #hunting #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb You may already be familiar with the original @sawyerproducts Squeeze filter. The company has created a new Micro Squeeze with the same performance and flow rate in a much smaller package. It’s currently available in bundled kits with Sawyer S1, S2, and S3 foam filters/purifiers, but will be available as a stand-alone item soon. #waterfilter #cleanwater #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb When you gotta go, you gotta go. #naturecalls #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb These @royal_robbins Yosemite boots were made in 1967, and look like they’ve still got some life in them. #boots #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb The @mtnhouse booth is full of freeze-dried grub that’ll last for decades. #mountainhouse #freezedried #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb @powertraveller showed us this prototype of the upcoming Nighthawk 15. It features a 3350mAh USB power bank, 360-degree lantern function, and flashlight. We’re told it’s expected to be released near the end of 2018 at an MSRP of around $80. #lantern #flashlight #usb #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb @yeti backpacks #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb @fjallravenofficial has a wide range of tough outdoor apparel on display at the show. #fjallraven #bushcraft #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb Admittedly, it’s going to be harder to save the planet when you’re hypothermic. #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb @casio_us new gps watch from Casio. #ORSM18 #OutdoorRetailer #survival #camping #hiking #backpacking #bugout #recoiloffgrid #offgridweb
