Weather; Human Factors
We were departing from an airport in mountainous terrain with an associated ODP. The visibility was approximately 3 miles due to the smoke from forest fires. The wind was gusting approximately 18 kts on the surface. The crew conducted a thorough brief regarding the terrain; ODP; and route of flight. The crew discussed the benefits of climbing approximately v2+20 with the flaps to obtain a steeper climb angle and allowing close flight path management. After takeoff the crew proceeded to turn to the ODP heading; and then to the ODP radial as briefed. During the first turn the aircraft encountered a significant gust and briefly triggered the stick shaker [for] roughly half a second. The aircraft configuration was flaps 20; and the speed at the beginning of the shaker was approximately v2+25 and never dropped below v2+20. Due to the terrain and conditions I was monitoring flight path closely and not distracted by cleaning up the aircraft during the initial low altitude environment. There was really no stall to recover so the upset procedure wasn't preformed as we had already left the indications and were at a safe steady state by the time we could have done anything. At this point we elected to accelerate and clean up the aircraft and continue climbing with a bit more margin in the event we encountered more gusts. The rapid gust onset seems to be the primary cause of the event. It could have been slightly coupled to the roll into the turn at the same time.During debrief we talked about the importance of being smooth with the controls even though there wasn't aggressive maneuvering taking place.
