Ep. 7: Happy holidays, Squatches! Scott to the rescue, beware the tariffs, Wisconsin Old Fashioned, Can you go camping: the game

Thursday, December 26, 2024 • Duration 01:10:46

****SENSITIVITY WARNING**** Mentions of death and suicide in the context of Search and Rescue missions to recover human remains. The content may be distressing or upsetting for some listeners. Please take care when deciding whether to listen to this episode. If you feel that the subject matter may be triggering or uncomfortable, we encourage to skip this episode or proceed with caution.

This week we are joined by our friend, Scott! Scott drives a 4Runner TRD Pro and shares with us how he discovered overlanding.

We have gone on some epic overland trips with Scott in the past, so we jump into discussing some of the highlights of our trip to Idaho last year. Scott sometimes overlands with a teardrop trailer that can be a blessing and a curse depending on the trail conditions.

Scott and Garrick recount their recent weekend trip to Douglas Creek in central Washington.

In the gear focus segment, Scott forecasts that tariffs could have a dramatic effect on gear pricing in the near future. The crew is divided on whether rooftop tents are worth it.

The main focus of this episode is Scott's experience with his Search and Rescue team. Scott shares the joys and motivations of supporting his team, reveals the stark realities of recovery missions and how they affect him personally, the ins and outs of a typical mission, and encourages others to join the ranks if you feel the calling.

We close out the episode with a new segment, Random Recommendations. In this segment we share something that we think is worth checking out that may or may not be overlanding related.

Ep. 6: Motorbike crashes in Moab, fixing Iceco and Ecoflow shortcomings, free tire swaps

Friday, December 13, 2024 • Duration 01:13:40

The Moab episode!

In this episode Garrick starts off with describing his road trip down to Moab, Utah from Seattle. Melody is preparing her rig for winter. Both Melody and Garrick made cable improvements to their portable power stations and Garrick did the same for his 12V fridge. Melody also received the fix for her Warn winch controller, but it's complicated!

Garrick then jumps in to detail his week long trip riding motorcyles and a little 4x4 action while in Moab. Highlights include Slick Rock, Fins & Things, the Utah BDR, Canyonlands & Arches National Parks, Chicken Corners, Hells Revenge, and tons of crashes in between. We close out the episode covering what worked and what didn't on the trip.

Ep. 5: Loose valve cores, bikepacking, how to not die in the woods, staying dry, journey vs destination

Thursday, November 28, 2024 • Duration 01:11:50

We our joined this week by our friend Beth who drives a 2021 SR5 4Runner that's taken on a scratch or two since she first bought it. We discuss some of the mods that Beth has added to her rig and how she chose them.

Garrick enjoyed his first bikepacking trip. It involved a couple ferry rides from Seattle to the Kitsap Peninsula, questionable sushi choices, and a run in with the law.

Beth is leading a weekend trip to the Douglas Creek recreation area and shares some of her pre-trip planning tips and how she focuses on safety.

We discuss how we deal with rain while camping in the wet PNW through our gear selection.

Our news topic is about how to navigate community dynamics when it comes to trail stewardship.

Our main topic is about where we find ourselves on the spectrum of appreciating the journey or the destination more while overlanding. We close out the show by discussing what happens when a plan falls apart and you have to improvise.

Ep. 4: Jeeping in Vietnam, recovery points, the overland scam, treading lightly

Thursday, November 14, 2024 • Duration 01:06:15

Our first new segment is discussing gear and why its needed. This time our focus is on getting unstuck and how recovery points are critical for that purpose.

Our second new segment is covering a news topic. This may not be the latest breaking news, but is something noteworthy and currently relevant to the overlanding community. We cover the controversial YouTube video which poses the question if overlanding is a scam.

We close out the episode detailing the tenets of Tread Lightly and how to overland responsibly.

Garrick shares his latest tale about how his non-overlanding trip to Lopez island accidentally ended up in some fun, off pavement time.

For the main topic, Shannon provides some tips to make cooking fun and easy while overlanding, his early experiences with the recreation, the human side of overlanding, and what he looks forward to in his overlanding future.
