This June, Outpost took a trip from the SF bay area to Seattle, on a mission to connect with individuals whose work is creating a more inspired future for us all. Thanks to our friends from Moterra Campervans, we had a comfortable ride and accommodations, and the perfect place to capture conversations along the way.
Welcome to Tell Me Something I Don’t Know, the podcast where a couple of average guys get schooled by experts in their respective fields. From gear designers to scientists, entrepreneurs to philanthropists – the one thing guests have in common is their pushing our world forward in interesting directions.
This week’s guest is Matt Liddle, Chief Futures Officer for Snow Peak – an outdoor product, experience, and design company that believes time spent outdoors has the ability to restore the human spirit. We had a fun conversation with Matt about Snow Peaks’ evolution into the world of experience, where they’re taking the company in the next decade – and where in Portland Matt gets his favorite cup of coffee. You know, the important stuff.
We also chat about Snow Peak’s Portland restaurant – Takibi, along with their new campsite, called – Campfield, which is coming soon to Long Beach, WA
Takibi is a Pacific Northwest restaurant inspired by Japan, the changing seasons, and the bonds built while gathering by the fire. The innovative Portland, Oregon restaurant developed by Snow Peak, a Japanese camping brand, was named one of America’s best new bars in 2022 by Esquire Magazine, won a 2022 Sunset Travel Award, and secured a spot on Portland Monthly’s Top 50 restaurants list. The menu at Takibi is rooted in Japanese technique and centered around seasonal, local ingredients cooked over a wood-burning fire, while the beverage program also marries the bounty of Oregon and Japan. Takibi is open for lunch, happy hour and dinner seven days a week.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.
