Changing Gears: Gear Updates, Blade Show, & Upcoming Trips

About this episode

Kat and Garrett discuss gear updates and the intersection of tools with personal expression and craftsmanship.

This episode of Changing Gears finds Kat and Garrett settling back into conversation after some time away, catching up through the lens of the gear that’s been shaping their daily lives. What starts with a familiar wrist and gear check quickly expands into a broader discussion on tools—watches, knives, cameras, and even keyboards—and how they intersect with both work and personal expression. There’s a thoughtful throughline on craftsmanship, particularly as Garrett shares the realities of launching a small-batch knife brand, highlighting the time, skill, and infrastructure required to bring a product to life. The conversation also touches on the practical side of creative work, from experimenting with lighter travel setups to navigating the limitations of mobile editing workflows. As always, the episode reflects the overlap between enthusiast culture and professional output, closing with a look ahead to upcoming travel, trade shows, and the shared experiences that continue to shape both perspective and process.
