    I sat down with Jim Macallister, the director of sales for one of the largest rafting companies in the world.  We focus on the gear you need for your next big river trip or camping trip.

    We also get the pleasure of hearing one of the greatest founders stories in the outdoor industry as Jim shares the Bill Parks story!   We also find out why it all starts with the Otter raft but quickly moves to the NRS fishing frame and we can’t leave out the NRS strap, my favorite strap for everything of all time.

    Show Notes with Jim Macallister

    – the NRS fishing frame is a huge product that made things easier for many fishermen over the years.

    – the Chinook pfd has been huge for the kayak space, but they make high-quality life jackets for all.

    – the NRS strap and the pilot knife

    – The NRS sun shirts and other sun protection.

    – The Bill’s bag is another bag I’ve been using for most of my river life and don’t leave without it.

    – We talked about the inflatable drift boat and what happened to it.  This is the freestone drifter.

    – I noted the drift boat season and the companies we’ve had on the podcast.

    – Aire and DRE are two of NRS’s competitors but amazing companies and staff who Jim loves to compete with.  DRE also has a killer fishing frame as well.

    – ICast and IFTD are two big shows that NRS attends and will hopefully be back for 2021.

    – I noted Canyon Coolers and the episode I put together with the founder in episode 211 here.

    – Derek from Sawyer Oars and Paddles was on the podcast in episode 185.

    NRS Outdoor Gear Conclusion with Jim Macallister

    Jim Macallister is here to break down the amazing gear that NRS has been producing for years now.  We also hear the story of how Bill Parks, the founder, gave the company away to his employees after he retired.
