Why We’re Excited About Northwestern Outdoors Radio!

At Go North Rafts, we live for the call of the wild. Whether that’s gliding across a pristine alpine lake, tackling whitewater, or sharing stories around a campfire after a long day in the backcountry. That’s why we’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on Northwestern Outdoors Radio, an award-winning weekly radio show that has been a trusted voice for outdoor enthusiasts throughout the Pacific Northwest since 2008.

Hosted and produced by lifelong outdoorsman John Kruse, Northwestern Outdoors Radio brings together stories, tips, and expert insights on everything from fishing and hunting to conservation and non-consumptive recreation — including paddling, hiking, wildlife watching, and more. The show’s regional focus and passion for the natural world mirror our own values here at Go North Rafts, where we design rugged, lightweight packrafts for adventurers who want to explore remote waters without compromise.

What makes Northwestern Outdoors Radio special is its ability to connect listeners not just with gear and technique, but with the spirit of adventure — something every packrafter knows well. Whether you’re tuning in from Oregon, Washington, Idaho or beyond, you’ll find inspiration to head outside and answer your own call to explore.

We’re also incredibly proud to share that our CEO, Greg Anthony, will be joining an upcoming taping of the show to talk all things packrafting. From innovative design choices at Go North Rafts to tips for planning your next river or lake adventure. Keep an ear out for those episodes, and be sure to tune in to Northwestern Outdoors Radio for stories that stoke your outdoor passion just like ours does.
