They are the bold ones, the ones you want on your side when things go wrong in the outdoors. Idaho’s outfitting industry has always attracted colorful characters: modern-day mountain men, whose job it is to connect city dwellers to the natural world. Each year nearly 200,000 people enlist the services of Idaho’s outfitters and guides, to take them into some of America’s wildest places . But this is an industry reliant upon discretionary income, dealing with a younger generation that seems to favor virtual reality over the real thing. Outdoor Idaho profiles outfitters and guides in their element and looks firsthand at the lives they lead and the challenges they face.
