Among the myriad media members at the Outdoor Retailer tradeshow this past month lay a secretive man, the Army and Military Times Gear Scout. At a show where louder is better – and bigger all the rage, the Gear Scout bides his time, assessing but not immediately reacting. Observing, but slow to venture forth.
