The GoFar Podcast has released another very interesting episode this week that continues a string of shows with a focus on Primal Quest. This time, show host Fred Abaroa interviews Lara Usinowicz from Restop and John Dark of SPOT, two of the sponsors for this year’s race. 

The first half of the episode is focused on Restop and their personal portable sanitation systems that allow hikers, campers, boaters, or anyone else in the backcountry to safely and cleanly dispose of human waste, protecting themselves and the environment in the process. This approach to keeping the environment clean is shared by Primal Quest, which makes us proud to have Restop on board as one of our partners for the 2008 race.

In the second half of this episode, we learn a lot more about the SPOT Messenger, which has quickly become the must have new gadget for outdoor enthusiasts. John talks about how the Messenger can be used by friends and family to track someone nearly anywhere on the planet, and doubles as a personal locator beacon allowing someone to call for help, even in remote locations. Each Primal Quest team will be carrying a SPOT Messenger, which will link directly into our online tracking system which will give fans of the race nearly real-time updates of where teams are at on the course, while also updating the leaderboard as well.  SPOT is the presenting sponsor for Primal Quest Montana and we couldn’t be happier to have such a great partner assisting us in bringing race coverage to an entirely new level.
