After a brief hiatus from behind the microphone, I'm finally back with updates on where I've been and what's ahead. Life got busy juggling college kids, camping trips, the truck build, work, and everything in between – sometimes we all just need a minute to breathe. While daily episodes might not return, this marks the beginning of a more sustainable podcasting rhythm moving forward.

The break wasn't idle time. I've been up late nights finalizing my Redarc dual battery system in the truck, learning new interview software, and preparing for upcoming events. The truck now boasts a complete power setup with strategic redundancies like 40-amp breakers instead of fuses – lessons learned from years of vehicle builds. These seemingly small details make all the difference between a successful adventure and being stranded with a blown fuse miles from nowhere.

The big news? You'll find me at Overland of America in the creator corral alongside some familiar faces from the community. Use code OUTSKIRTS10 to save 10% on weekend passes and primitive camping (though not on RV or cabin options). This event strikes the perfect balance for families with amenities like pools and restaurants while offering genuine off-road experiences on private trails. Look for friends from Backwards Adventure Junkies, Midwest Adventure Outfitters, Baker Overland, and more. Whether you're a seasoned overlander or just curious about the lifestyle, this gathering focuses on people and experiences rather than commercial displays. Come say hello – I'd love to hit some trails together and talk about your setup!

Ready to reconnect with the community? Join me at Overland of America, follow along as Fourth of July content drops (my favorite holiday as a Marine Corps veteran), or simply get outside this weekend – shoes off, grass between your toes. The podcast might have paused, but the adventures never stopped.
