Shopping All the Way to the Woods: How the Outdoor Industry Sold Nature to America
Presented by Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum Colorado Springs, CO
Shopping All the Way to the Woods: How the Outdoor Industry Sold Nature to America with Historian Rachel S. Gross Saturday, April 11, 2026 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum presents the 2026 "We The People: Colorado at 150" lecture series. To honor the America 250/Colorado 150 commemorations, this series will explore the diverse experiences and voices of Coloradans. $5 suggested donation. Registration is required. ABOUT THE PROGRAM A fascinating history of the profitable paradox of the American outdoor experience: visiting nature first requires shopping No escape to nature is complete without a trip to an outdoor recreational store or a browse through online offerings. This is the irony of the American outdoor experience: visiting wild spaces supposedly untouched by capitalism first requires shopping. With consumers spending billions of dollars on clothing and equipment each year as they seek out nature, the American outdoor sector grew over the past 150 years from a small collection of outfitters to an industry contributing more than 2 percent of the nation’s economic output. Rachel S. Gross argues that this success was predicated not just on creating functional equipment but also on selling an authentic, anticommercial outdoor identity. In other words, shopping for the woods was also about being—or becoming—the right kind of person. Demonstrating that outdoor culture is commercial culture, Gross examines Americans’ journey toward outdoor expertise by tracing the development of the nascent outdoor goods industry, the influence of World War II on its growth, and the boom years of outdoor businesses.

Throughout high school in Slapout, AL, he transformed into a formidable performer by captivating local crowds with marathon cover gigs. Years later, holding down a job as a firefighter, he wrote and recorded at every chance possible. After introducing himself with “Little Red Wine,” he gained traction with a series of singles and 2021’s What Do They Know EP. Two years later, he served up the Neon Grave EP highlighted by the standout “Try Losing One,” which catapulted to #1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Weekend Countdown. However, he really leveled up on 2024’s “DEVIL YOU KNOW.” Not only did the latter eclipse 335 MILLION global streams it also earned a GOLD-certification from the RIAA. Billboard hailed its “automatic authenticity,” going on to attest, “The sound is dangerous.” Additionally, he received acclaim from People, Taste of Country, Country Now, and more. He notably lit up venues with everyone from Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, and Dierks Bentley to Brothers Osborne, Warren Zeiders, and Darius Rucker. With nearly 765 MILLION global career streams, countless SOLD-OUT shows in the rearview, and a bright future ahead, he reveals multiple sides…
