Time for the next installment of Overland Bonfire From the Road. On the drive home the guys debrief about their time at Moore.

Come along for the ride! In this episode Rick and Matt head to Moore Overlanding and Off-Roading Expo. With plenty of time to kill they decide fired up the GoPro, and give us all a glimpse of what a roadtrip is really like for them.

In this episode we tell some stories and talk about how we deal with camping in the rain... or at least that was the idea.

Join us this week as we talk about why exactly we do what we do. That's right, Rick decided to go a little deep this week.

We dive into why Matt builds things, why Logan makes videos, and why Rick loves obscure vintage backpacks. Yep, this episode has a little something for everyone... assuming that everyone is just a little bit of a nerd.

In this episode, we discuss what it takes to get started overlanding. While we all agree that you don't need to have a ton of gear, there are some categories that are helpful to consider before setting out. Things like food, sleeping arrangements, shelter, and navigation can make your experience smoother and more enjoyable—or less so.

In this episode we debate the pros and cons of Full-Sized and Mid-Sized rigs. Matt starts out with a strong preference for full Size, but Rick's Mid-Size has served him well in some tight spots. In the end Matt surprises us with his Mid-Size picks.

Let us know in the comments what you prefer and why.

We've all been on trips where things went a little sideways. In this episode, the guys recall some times that they got a little too close to the black robe and sickle. The stories range from a sled-dog debacle to a childhood encounter with a tornado at a music festival. And of course there are some tangents. That's what we do. If you've had some close calls, aka Type 3 fun, but sure to drop us a comment or DM.

You might remember that CT departed BROG a couple of months ago, and now we're welcoming Logan to the team. He'll be handling lots of video and photography duties, jumping into the podcast, and wherever else the winds of working on a small team lead us. In this episode of the Overland Bonfire Podcast, we learn a little bit about Logan, some of past (mis)adventures, and, of course, we explore a few tangents. It's what we do.

While the vast majority of comments we receive across social media are overwhelmingly positive, we occasionally get some that are less than joyful. In this episode of the Overland Bonfire podcast, we respond to some of those and try to decipher some that don't make much sense at all.As always, you can find our gear at www.blueridgeoverlandgear.com

We've made it through the holidays and spent the last weekend of 2023 on the trail with friends. Now it's time to get back into the shop to get started on some big plans for 2024! In the latest episode of the Overland Bonfire, Matt and Rick discuss where we are headed in 2024, some new products that will be debuting in the first quarter of the year, and more.
