Despite the naysayers, there are many amazing qualities about the dog days of summer. Sure there may be snow in a select few areas of the United States, but for the majority of us summer means getting outside, camping, floating down the river and enjoying the fact that we don’t have to battle sub-zero temperatures to have a great time. This was the idea for Skullcandy’s escape with Mark McMorris, Bode Merrill, Zak Hale and Aaron Biittner as they hit the high notes around beautiful Oregon. Despite what anybody says, hanging out in camp, snowboarding, skating and a little surfing are welcome activities after a long season in the snow.

From Skullcandy:

Camping is the best way to kickoff summer, and is best served with sound. So we packed the car to the rafters with bacon and wireless speakers—picked up the crew (Mark McMorris, Aaron Biittner, Zak Hale and Bode Merrill)’ and headed for Oregon to STAYLOUD. From Mt. Hood to the coast, watch our speakers get put to the test.
